His old host folded so he found a new one. I asked to have it changed a while ago but it hasn't been adjusted since.

Masa's writings are so good and I always enjoy reading his thoughts/analysis. I really wish he would write more, despite him saying he wouldn't do anymore in the last essay T____T

FAVOUR...LOL That guy is a fucking model material, that was more than a favour I guess it's gonna make the whole romance a bit less awkward with that dude.

I am curious to see the choice for Ayu. I think Suzu Hirose would be perfect for Ayu's role.

TV Asashi just confirmed on twitter that Kalen Anzai will me playing ayu's role in the dorama. I'm not surprised at all.

Yeah, something about her looks a bit off though....

Spoiler:




They attempted to remake the A BEST cover with the promo shot.

The funniest thing is the one time she's suppose to look like Ayu in an authentic way..she ends up looking the least like Ayu she's ever looked.

I love the promo shot and the hint to a-best cover ! Masa is hot but Ayu...well...she seems a plastic doll and she has nothing to do with the beauty and freshness of the Young Ayu. oh well I think it's ok, I never expected an actress that could have Ayu charisma anyway

To me Kalen always had this "robot-like" emotion-less looks, and it also might have helped spreading those rumours she was not an actual person, but I think it's just part of her concept, it fits her music videos. Just hope she drops it for acting cause well she needs to act lol

I wonder if she'll cover any ayu songs for the dorama, would love if she sang appears or M!

Sounds like they have found the perfect match, imo.

Well it's been speculated, so no surprise here. I'm not crazy about her visual aspect. So they kind of did a favour for Max but totally missed the mark for Ayu *shrug* Like she's pretty and all, but she's a different kind of pretty than Ayu. Ayu has this doll-like face. This girl, doesn't really. Although she does sound a bit like early days Ayu. So i can see the similarity there.

I mean she's definitely less robot-like in here more ballad-y songs. BTW this one is very Rainbow'esque, with that whole chasing after your "twin" concept..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mo0UoxLOZA

I feel like it would have been better without the contact lenses?

Also gave Max a fake nail because it's funny



Now I don't really have a problem with the cast at all, and I'm quite beyond excited to see it! I was positively surprised Shohei Miura will be in it, I've liked him in the dramas that I've seen.

artcika brought up Suzu Hirose and I can totally see the resemblance with Ayu! I think also Mei Nagano has some similarities, especially with Young Ayu:

Seriously, the guy is too good looking to be playing Max

No opinions on the casting choice for Ayu - the promo photo is quite smart.

Yep, he's very cute and younger to be like Max, but I hope his acting as Max will be good.

Watching this drama has made me become interested in Ayu again. I hope Japanese viewers will feel the same way. She was really amazing when she was the queen of Jpop..
