Where You Can Find Mizushima Hiro? (Part 2)

Hi all....this is the sequel of Where You Can Find Mizushima Hiro, you can read the first part in here. So, let's continue!

5. Kamen Rider Kabuto as Tendou Souji
I just started to watch this drama today, so I have nothing to write about it yet. But one thing for sure, not only teenage girls or twenty-something women like me who idolize him, but the kids surely love him as a hero :D
I will update the review once I finish watching its 21 episodes. Aaaah...I wonder when it will be??
Update: I was wrong. The total episodes are 49 episodes! Does other Hiro fans try to watch all of them??? Blup blup blup....
6. Kanojo to no Tadashii Asobikata as Fujiki Kyouji
Wanna see Hiro being dominated by a childhood friend? Then you wanna watch this short drama. The story is about a secret game between Yuna and Fujiki who befriends since  they were a kid. Yuna is a princess and Fujiki is her servant. They promised to keep on playing it until someone knows about it.
Yuna described as a selfish teenage girl, who really demanding to Fujiki. In the opposite, Fujiki described as a very quite person, a demotivated teenage boy but he always obeys her rules. Really a princess-servant relationship in general.
Hiro's appearance is quite neat in here, his role this time is much more represents Japanese high-school students in real life, rather than his role as high-school students in other drama. Compare it with Nanba senpai in Hana Kimi, you surely know what I mean.
On this drama he looks so handsome--as usual, but he didn't talk much, and he didn't express much emotions either. I think the character is not that fit to Hiro. I can't think any figure like Hiro can be dominated by a girl like that. The conclusion that came up after I finished watching, I don't like this drama at all.

7. Watashitachi no Kyokasho as Yahata Daisuke
It is good to observe how does Hiro play different characters. But not only that, I am so glad to know he can play his characters so well in different genres. Romantic drama...check. Family drama...check. Action drama...check. Cops drama...check. Comedy drama...check. Now it is time for a legal-mystery drama.
This one is a serious drama. For those who watch drama just for fun, better not to watch it, cause you will be sleepy before the movie ends. The story is about bullying cases in  an elementary school (or junior high?--I am not so sure) . The genre itself is quite different from other genres that I ever watched. Moreover, the story about bullying is still rare to find in J-dramas.
Hiro in this drama is so weird! He played as a Math teacher. I have only watched it until episode 4, I stop watching due to technical error. Sigh. So far, I can tell that this Yahata Daisuke is very suspicious person. His appearance is quite good-looking, although I didn't expect him to be that mysterious. I think he played as an antagonist, and somehow Hiro's character in here reminds me of Johnny Depp in "Secret Window", one of very few, my favorite thriller movie.

8. Hanazakari no Kimitachi e as Nanba Minami
Like thousands of J-drama fans...I really love this drama! The story is quite good, many gorgeous actors, each role have a strong character appear, and the best thing about this drama was how it made the viewers laugh!
As I mentioned before, I started to adore Hiro since I watch Hana Kimi. Making me laugh is always become one of my criteria to adore someone. So Nanba senpai as the second funniest character in Hana Kimi absolutely made me melted. (I think we all agree the most funniest character in Hana Kimi is Nakatsu, played by Ikuta Toma)
And the best thing, I think Hiro's physical appearance in this drama was his most gorgeous one among all his drama (which I ever watched). He looks much better with his white skin rather than his tanning skin (in 'Drop' movie). I like his messy hair style, sometimes he clamp his bangs into top of his head. I like his expressions, from silly expression into the serious one. I like his fashion style, he often wear black shirts and he looks adorable! And he looks so fine even when he just wear the school uniform. 
As a playboy senpai also as a respected dorm-leader, I really think Hiro played the character of Nanba Minami so well*. He fits as Nanba (while in real life, Hiro admitted that the most similar role with his real personality is his role in Room of King). His role as the fourth-most-important character in Hana Kimi (after Mizuki, Sano, and Nakatsu) may not easy to be forgotten even to those who's not idolize him.
*I haven't read the Hana Kimi manga, so my opinion about Nanba character is only based on this drama. People said that there are some part on this drama that doesn't represent the manga, but I think this drama (the Japanese version) is really good and it absolutely worth a watch.

When a Mizushima Hiro Caught My Eyes?

I noticed him when my lil' sister brought him home packed in Tokyo Dogs' DVD. She is interested in detective and cop stories, and she is dreaming about becoming a Secret Agent for some kind of institutions like FBI, CIA, CSI, and so on. I think she might be good on becoming a pro-filer since she study in Psychology major now. Haha. 

Hiro played as Kudo Maruo, an impulsive, hot-blooded detective and a fighting expert due to his earlier days as a delinquent. This character, with beard and mustache, is the first time Mizushima Hiro caught my eyes!

I thought that this guy is so damn cool, the character make him more attractive, and his appearance looks like Johnny Depp, my favorite Hollywood actor. At that time I was wondering that he will look very handsome without beard and mustache. Ha.

It was about two months ago. And last month my sister, brought him home again, that time was packed in Mr. Brain DVD. And surely I was right. He was so much better without that facial hair. Although he didn't play as much scene as in Tokyo Dogs, I waited his performance in every scene, and play some scenes back just to see how gorgeous he is. I felt like I was a teenager again. Damn. 


So I started to browse some info about him. And found he is married already. Dong dong dong....
I guess it shouldn't be a problem at all, he really doesn't know me, and I already have a person to be married, anyway :) 

When I started to streaming his dramas, my sister told me I should watch Hana Kimi first, but I already knew that there's a lot of actors in Hana Kimi and my intention to watch these dramas is only to see him. He didn't play as a main character in Hana Kimi, so I thought Hana Kimi should be the last choice that I should watch. But I was wrong. There is a LOT of scenes of Hiro and he also got many close-up scenes. The character, Nanba-senpai, was very well played by him. He was very fit as a playboy and a leader of the dorm. I adore him ever since.
