Mon, July 14, 2008 (1:59am EDT)
Actor Hiroshi Tamaki is taking the lead in an upcoming suspense film titled "Manatsu no Orion," directed by Tetsuo Shinohara. Based on the novel "Raigeki Shindo Juukyuu-ten-go" by Tsukasa Ikegami, the movie is set near Okinawa during World War II. While the main focus is a naval battle between a Japanese submarine and an American destroyer, the film also portrays the personal relationships among those involved.
Tamaki plays the warm-hearted captain of the submarine. His close friend and colleague is being played by CHEMISTRY's Yoshikuni Dochin, who is making his acting debut with this role.
Toho and TV Asahi are involved in production. Filming started on July 1, and next month some scenes will be shot in the U.S. using a preserved WWII-era destroyer. Theatrical release is scheduled for 2009.

After an accidental leak on an isolated island, the military covers up the incident by exterminating all of the island's inhabitants. One survivor named Yuuki (Tamaki) grows up as an elite bank employee, but in secret, he is a killer taking revenge on those responsible for the incident. His ultimate goal is to unleash MW across the whole world.
Takayuki Yamada co-stars as Yuuki's friend and accomplice, a priest named Yutaro Garai.

Gomen for being hiatus for quite some time ehehehe.... Okay, new updates about the latest release on Tamaki kun's DVD Midnight Eagle Premium Edition DVD is ready to pre order. But it's soooo expensive! The good news is it has English subtitle. 
Description It's a race against time and terror as the fate of the nation falls on the shoulders of two in the big-budget action thriller Midnight Eagle from director Narushima Izuru (Fly, Daddy, Fly). Based on a novel by Takashima Tetsuo, Midnight Eagle breaks down a nuclear crisis from media coverage to political backroom to soldiers on the frontline, culminating in a tense showdown between the Self-Defense Forces and terrorists against a sweeping snow-covered mountainscape. Osawa Takao (Crying Out Love in the Center of the World) stars as the film's troubled hero, a former war photographer battling inner demons, alongside Tamaki Hiroshi (Nodame Cantabile, Kids) and Takeuchi Yuko (Be With You).
While camping in the mountains, photographer Nishizaki Yuji (Osawa Takao) snaps a picture of what he thinks is a shooting star. It turns out, however, that what he actually captured was Midnight Eagle, an American stealth bomber carrying a nuclear warhead, as it crashed into the Northern Alps of Japan. Yuji's reporter sister-in-law Keiko (Takeuchi Yuko) and journalist buddy Ochiai Shinichiro (Tamaki Hiroshi) are both investigating the case, and Yuji's photograph becomes the key evidence that a government cover-up is in the air. The dangerous race is on as the SDF led by Major Saeki Akihiko (Yoshida Asaku, Aegis) rush to get to the nuclear payload, and terrorist agents wait in ambush. Determined to report the truth, Shinichiro convinces Yuji to head for the mountains together, walking right into the line of fire.

Synopsis
A top secret American forces strategic bomber known as "Midnight Eagle" suddenly vanishes in the Northern Alps. Its payload is a specialized nuclear warhead. If it were to explode, the entire nation of Japan would be hurled into an unprecedented calamity. Prime Minister Takafumi Watarase convenes an emergency meeting of the Security Council of Japan. An elite squad from the Self-Defense Force able to operate in severe mountains conditions is formed, and heads off to try and recover the fuselage. Amidst the violent barrage of gunfire from agents of an enemy nation, an actual war is about to begin in the heart of Japan, 62 years after the end of World War II.
As former war photographer Yuji Nishizaki spends time in the mountains taking pictures of the skies, he is startled by gunfire, and notices the freshly spilled blood of soldiers on the snow. Aware that his country is under attack, Nishizaki seizes his camera and heads for the battlefield.
In Tokyo we encounter Keiko Arisawa, the only sister of Nishizaki's wife, who has died of illness. As Nishizaki never fully acknowledged his wife's condition, Keiko is extremely resentful of Nishizaki. Two years have passed since her sister's death, but Keiko still cannot forgive Nishizaki. While continuing to work as a magazine reporter, she has taken over custody of her sister and Nishizaki's son.
Nishizaki, his high school friend, the newspaper journalist Shinichiro Ochiai, and Major Akihiko Saeki of the Self-Defense Forces, find themselves In the midst of a terrible blizzard as they are desperately heading towards Midnight Eagle. Simultaneously in Tokyo, Keiko contacts an agent who might shed light on an accident she has become privy to. The agent reveals to her the situation going on in the Northern Alps.
Each protagonist is driven by a different set of motivations. Nishizaki risks his life in a battle to protect the life of the one he loves; Ochiai doesn't flinch from the onslaught of the enemy, his journalistic instinct driving him to record reality; Saeki risks all to protect his country and fulfill his professional duty as a member of the Self-Defense Forces. As to Takafumi Watarase, the anguished Prime Minister, he has no choice but to entrust the future of Japan to these three men. At last, Keiko finds the ﾒkeyﾓ to the incident that will determine everyone's fate.
With only two and a half hours remaining until the specialized warhead is to explode, will Keiko save Nishizaki, Ochiai and Saeki, and bring to a halt the crisis, which could change the fate of Japan?

Saki Aibu, Aya Ueto, and Haruka Ayase rounded out the top five. | Source : Tokyograph ----------------------------------------- yosh...number two is quite something ^^
Just read an article from Tokyograph. Kinda happy when I read this kekekeke.... Rosa Kato, JIn Akanishi dating? Rumors have surfaced that actress Rosa Kato and KAT-TUN member Jin Akanishi are currently dating. According to weekly tabloid FRIDAY, Akanishi once spent 17 hours at Kato's apartment.
In May, the magazine spotted Akanishi driving Kato home after a meal. Then earlier this month, he reportedly stayed over at her place for 17 hours, and continued visiting during the following week.
Kato was recently rumored to be dating actor Hiroshi Tamaki, but they are said to have broken up. Kato's agency says that she's friends with both Tamaki and Akanishi, and denies that she has dated either of them. As for the alleged 17-hour stay, her agency stated that he was simply one of a group of friends having a party there. Akanishi's agency also says that the two are just friends. source : Tokyograph
