JJ on Japanese TV and Happy Marrige Emi and Gotaro!!

video

So today I was reading the entertainment news and I came across this article (link) about Emi Hashino getting married to Gotaro Tsunashima. Normally an entertainment marriage wouldn't interest me too much except that in this case I worked with the two of them last year on a TV show wherein they played the bride and groom! In the TV show, TBS's Mikon Roku Shimai (未婚六姉妹)Gotaro didn't get the girl - she left him at the altar. But apparently that really was just all acting!

I had lunch with Gotaro and got to hear lots about his acting life. He did a film in Australia with Toni Collette called Japanese Story. Check it out if you get the chance. Emi I didn't get a chance to talk to, but she has these really big beautiful eyes that are hard to forget. Gotaro is a lucky man.

A fun surprise for me to see. Congratulations Emi and Gotaro!

I put on my holy robes, I get my check, and I leave. This check ain't make-believe.

Albright: Wow, dude, you're listening closely. I am honored... (and a little ashamed...)

Khemra: That's dedication! Here's a hint - very last scene of the very last episode. :-)

Dai- It's done now, but i think there might be another mini-series coming...

Why ashamed? It's a fun song. It can definitely bring back memories the moment when I decided I'd have to make Japan a memory and go back home. Eikaiwa truly was all for show, talking a whole lot more than I actually know.

At first I thought those lines were about being a pretend priest, but now I see you were singing about pretending to be a pretend priest.

I would have included the line before that bit too, but I couldn't quite decipher it… "I'm rushing all up to this fantasy?"
