r9647, Thanks for the link.

Where can see N's son?

I think I have posted these somewhere on this forum before, here they are again  

中村俊太

Thanks a lot, Shiawase!!!

除左對戚眉有少少似 N  睇真D ... 冇乜邊忽似老豆喎! 會唔會攪錯 ar?

But, they both play guita!!!

同個仔有共同興趣  N 都可以飲杯落 lor!

U r welcome

聽講"仔似老母, 女似老豆"多

有冇 empirical support ka?

Does anyone know if 中村俊太 is an artist / singer?

此人訪問中村雅俊 且高大過中村很多。。。。

No, I don't have this one I have just a few small CDs

Wa he must be 6'4" or more since Nakamura is 6'... a sumo wrestler?

身型同髮型都似 sumo san!

我硬係覺得 N 既爛撻撻 look 好睇過佢扮型佬 look ... 無髮啦 ... an artist 點著衫受好多人指點, including his image conscious wife!!!

中村雅俊   在阿信的故事片中 教誨小林稜子(小阿信)  明白道理,但有幾許人可以做到...... Esp in HongKong.最好從小教育吧.

Thanks 港男 for sharing ...

一個好凝重   但冇乜人可以做到既道理 ...  

除 N dramas 外 好鍾意睇 阿信的故事 同 大長今  ...

Hi 港男 ... nice to meet U here! 見過你好多O&N d 貼 ... 多謝你既分享 

I think there're other O&N fans out there ... where are they these days?

Hi hi hongkongman ...

你 post 果張相 係 N 最風華既年代

係 O 入便 佢雖然吊兒瑯噹 不修蝙蝠 著對日本劇好麻甩咁鼓圍走

就係果種自信 自然 唔信邪(can do attitude)既態度 先叫人鍾意浩介呢個角色!!!

N 係香港女 fans 唔多 港女邊識欣賞呢 d 麻甩 feel ar !

Very rare. So there's vocal track on it too? May I borrow it sometime? I have one that has music only:

Hey man, you seem to have some very inaccurate info about Nakamura, where did your news come from? FYI it's his son who got into trouble, not him. The guy is in great health and holding concerts/ plays/ etc etc.

詳情在此: http://www.oldcake.net/viewthread.php?tid=12517&extra=page%3D1&page=1

Very precious pictures of Tanaka Ken ... many thanks, hongkongman

He was very very handsome in my youngcake's eyes ...

Now he looks more mature and solid ...

秋野太作 looks very happy though his hair has turned silver grey ...

Am very happy to see any pictures of the three guys together ...

Time has worked on their faces ... but not their friendship ...

日本人造的當年日本的警匪電視劇(我們的熏章).(中村雅俊)和同僚(松田優作)的二人造型人頭,似嗎.....末上色,但我認為算是不錯了,可能大家都是長頭髮,頭部會比較易做一此.可惜香港末有得賣...

日本版的中村雅俊Karaoke DVD 其中一PART的內容是這樣的，有唱過嗎．．．．．．?

中村雅俊親筆簽名場刊:

What day is today - there are so many postings here on one single day!!!? Thank you hongkongman and ar_woo!!!

This is a sure buy!

Honestly ... he wasn't that great looking ... but he does mean a lot to many people ....    Did you watch that movie?

Let's wait ... it's really difficult without Chinese subtitles ...   the sculptures look 70% like NM ... and 80% like 松田優作?

ar_woo did ... and his singing earned him the title of 中村雅woo ...

The pic looks familiar ... thought I saw it somewhere else ...

Is that poster your collection?

It's so strange ... Part 1 of this series is not available ...  Have you got Part 1?

ar_woo ... is it a downloaded pic or your collection?

Good job ... keep it up, ar_woo ! 

My personal collection. My friend (from the US) went all the way to Osaka to see the play and had a long chat with N. She got it signed and mailed it to me. You are just a few hours from Japan and there is no excuse for you not to go to his concert

Your friend is so nice to you ar!!! Can she also send me some NM stuff ar? Timing is not right ma   ... I'm on wait list to go there in end Jul ar!!!!

Actually she has very few "real" N stuff, most of her collection are songs/videos from YouTube and she just discovered N about 2 years ago......

Here's an exclusive photo preview for oldcake members (will update that web later):

(it's tough work to put these scans together becoz the original from tnd1964 is so big.... had to get help from an IT friend becoz I'm no good at it )

Just 2 years ... admire her determination a lot ... shame on us!!!

The photo looks ok wor with the heading and sub-headings clearly shown ... Will you invite the oldcakers here to officiate the grand opening of your NM Forever Blog when it is fully ready?

A picture of her and our legendary man (N looks rather skinny these days!):

outside the play venue:

Oh my goodness ... N's looks very sad!!! Really want to have a nice chat with him when we go there!

I envy your friend a lot ... maybe you can put my head shot to fill the empty square (just Kidding)

Can you wait until Dec? Sep is definitely a no-no ...    

You may be right ..... also she said N had to do two identical shows in one afternoon/ evening and that must be very tiring......

Sure, let's see if we can go to the Dec. 5 one together:

http://tomonokai.mj-e.com/news/info-concert.html

And this one has N by himself in the dressing room backstage:

See, in the 2nd picture, she actually got much closer and N put his right arm around her and she must be SO happy 

And here's a report from Miss S, my friend who met N after the play (and agreed I could post this):

(note: S had sent some letters to N introducing herself as a fan, and telling him she would go to his play in Osaka)

My Thoughts on Meeting Masatoshi Nakamura (June 27, 2009)

By: S

I met Masatoshi Nakamura twice. When I first sat down in the theater, he was wandering around the stage and scanning the audience.  I think he may have seen me as I was on the side where he was in the sixth row (and believe me it was obvious who I was).  Some people got up to go to the stage to give him things. I hesitated at first but then decided to go.  An usher tried to stop me and I just said DOUZO (please).  She let me go. He looked past some people in front of me said; "Are you Sxxxx?  I got your letter.  I want to talk to you more. Will you come back to my dressing room after?"  I was shocked and amazed but very excited.

After the performance, the producer of the play (Mr. Kokami) had someone take me backstage.  MN and I talked for about 10 minutes in his dressing room. I was very comfortable with him right from the beginning when he indicated that he knew who I was. He is so very nice.  He is reserved, quiet, and very kind. We talked about many different things.  It was incredible.  I got the programs for myself and ar_woo signed. I told him that ar_woo was making a website in his honor in Chinese. I told him all of the DVDs I have of his performances, and when I mentioned American Pastime, he said; “I was going to give it to you but you already have it."  I responded with: "sumimasen" sorry. I thought that he really wanted to give me something, so I said to him: “That’s ok, I am very happy that you signed my program and that I got a picture with you.”

We went out of the dressing room because he said that he wanted to introduce me to someone.  It turned out to be Mr. Kokami who said: “So you did get to meet him then.” MN told Mr. Kokami that I was a Spanish teacher from California. He also told him with pride: “She extended her trip just to see me.”

Not only did he remember my name but also he remembered that I am a Spanish teacher.  WOW!  At one point, I said to him, “You played a teacher in one of your early dramas, didn’t you?”  He said, “Yes, I did.” I then said: “You had long hair back then…”  He nodded and laughed.

He also walked me to the door, not just the dressing room door but also the one to the hallway exit.  He said he wanted to see me out. As I was walking out, I realized that he was still in the doorway behind me just looking at me.  I turned around and bowed to him one more time, thanking him again.

His English is perfect.  He has a bit of an accent but hardly noticeable, and I heard no mistakes.  He did not even have any trouble searching for words or anything. In fact, he even used some expressions that someone whose first language is not English would not normally use. It really showed me how well versed he is in English. He told me that I spoke Japanese well after I said nice to meet you and thank you in Japanese. I then said in Japanese that I only speak a little Japanese. It was after that that I told him "you speak English very well". He replied with "I don’t think so. I learned it in the University but I don’t use it much now."

He wanted to know how I discovered him and I told him about the Reward of Pride. He said, "Oh a crime drama." I tried to say the name in Japanese and only got the first word out but he completed it for me. I told him that I had from episode 19 to 40 something on tape... that I had taped it every week and still had them.  He seemed very surprised. I told him about the DVDs of his I had including Budokan. He was quite surprised that I had his Budokan DVD.  He kept thanking me repeatedly, and I kept thanking him repeatedly.

I remembered that story about ar_woo's friend, Kendama, talking to him on the phone in the 80s, but I never dreamed that so many years later he would still be the same way. I was so very impressed.  He is just so humble and so unaffected by his success in spite of the fact that he is one of the biggest stars in Japan. I think that is probably one of the most wonderful things about him.

I am still in amazement over meeting MN.  I still cannot believe it. Of course, now I am saying to myself that I wish I had done this or I wished I had asked him that.  You know how it is... it all happened so fast. He is truly a special person.  I was very surprised that he is so different in person than he is when he is performing.  In person, he is very reserved and quiet. What impressed me the most about him is that he is so humble and unaffected by his success.  He made me very comfortable from the very beginning.  When I was talking to him, I felt like I was just talking to an ordinary person, not a big star who has been admired by so many for more than 30 years. He is so very talented and such a nice person too.  I now completely understand why he has been so popular for so many years.

Hope I'm wrong ...  I hunch that he is not very happy these years ... I recall in 30 he tried to be upbeat in the begining scenes but it was not as natural as he was in O ... his sad eyes and tightened lips in this and the other photos are worrying ...

Will bear this in mind ... also want to stay in Kichizoji where the park is in ... Many uncertainties ... hope things will work out ...

What's the name of your friend btw? ... Again, N doesn't seem to share the happiness ...

I think he's upset that you didn't go

Very touching!!! Please extend my hearty thanks to Sxxxx for sharing her story here. Maybe you can invite her on our behalf to join the N threads on oldcake.net?

N is certainly a kind and approacheable superstar. S also has the impression that N is reserved and quiet. Please can you ask S to tell us more about N's tone of voice and non-verbals when they chatted?

He's most upset that you didn't go lor ... I hope he still keeps the pics I sent him in the 80s.

"the actor gave reporters the cold shoulder and left without further comment"

(What it doesn't say was that beforehand the media was specifically asked and promised not to ask about or mention his son's arrest, according to someone who sent me the link)

just updated:

http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/masatoshi_forever/article?new=1&mid=109

The reporters should have respected the actor's feelings!

You got a 'thread'  to collect N's news for your wor!

You're super productive these days ...

thanks   otherwise I'd be totally ashamed to see bro tnd1964 when he comes back

actually this web stuff is very time-consuming   esp. since I'm no IT expert....... maybe I should hire an assistant

I know it's a pain!!!

What about sissese and siscelia .. they seemed pretty IT competent wor ...

hahaha I think the jobs are too boring and low-B for them .......... sit there and scan 500 pages of Nakamura news per day They're very professional artists and singers you know.......

Really ... that I don't know ... so who is who?

Don't presume ... just ask ... maybe they enjoy sitting in your office ne?
