The moment I read the novel,
I knew I would like to play Isoyama Kaori.
I thought that is the right thing to do for me right now.

It’s interesting how it shows the story of two girls,
and I liked the way Isoyama Kaori is portrayed.
She is not a genius in anyway.
I understood how good it is to be a normal person.

Kendo was hard！

Before making the movie I was attending trainings at the dojo.
Kendo was a new experience for me
and as I am not really a sporty type it was a hard time without any progress.

[2010-03-23] (23:56)
Kendo was hard! 2

In kendo, you have to shout “yaa”and “waa”.
I thought I couldn’t possibly give such a scream,
but it came out naturally.
My kendo teacher told me to try to shout
as if my voice had to reach the train station, quite far from the dojo

About director Furumaya

Director Furumaya didn’t need to say anything and I felt we understood each other.
We didn’t speak about any details.
Rather after we finished the movie, we started to talk about lots of things.

I’m happy, but also sad.
We finished filming.
It took as till late at night yesterday, so when we finally ended, I didn’t really know what was going on, tired with body and mind(・・;)
Loneliness will come now, for sure.
Ending something makes you feel lonely, but at that times I say to myself “the end is a begining!”.
If something we felt good at ends, the new begining feels a little scary, but I always try my best to find hope and move forward.(o^^o)
Tomorrow the last episode. The previous, chapter 7, made me thinking “I would like Tsunoda Miki to find her hope and move forward like that too”.
So, what will happen?(o^^o)
I’m also gonna watch the finished show on tv.
The location with the staff is so cool, I’m stealing one picture of them☆
Today I was taking part in “Ganbatta Taisho”!!

Spring weather

Hello!
What a nice weather~.
How are you spending this day?(o^^o)
I finished drama and worked for a few days and now my whole body is crying for help.
However
For two days now I’ve been sleeping for 11 hours each! and now I feel relieved
(o^^o)

Thank you for following the drama till the last episode m(_ _)m
A lot of people were watching the show, so we had a really lively party at the end♪

I’m grateful.

When I finish one work, I jus have to change my hairstyle.
So this time I immidietly put some colour on!!
hehe☆

Can you tell the difference?

[2010-03-23] (15:46)
Unexpectedly, I’m quite good at it!

Today, I’m in a park to film a commercial.

I practiced throwing the ceremonial first pitch for the pacific league for the few days.

My arm.

But then,
unexpectedly, I’m quite good at it!

It’s the question of how did I not believe in myself doing it.

I lead a student’s life wich is really far away from sports.
I didn’t have enough self-confidence that I can do the throw.

But!!
Thanks to today’s practice, baseball became really fun(o^皿^o)

But still, this outfit is hilarious (laughing)

First – Ishihara Satomi’s Diary, entries from January 23rd till today can be viewed here:

Entry 159

☆Hidamari Tantei EYE☆

We’re filming.
Ainosuke is giving his best and smiling, though lack of sleep,
so Sayama-sensei needs to give her best too.
For days there have been promotional campaigns and scenes with a lot of physical strength,
but at last
“Hidamari Tantei EYE”
will be aired today at 9:00 pm.

Don’t miss it please☆

On the set…
Ainosuke made me my own cup.
He wrote my name and even an explanation with pictures.
There are stones (ishi), fields (hara), village (sato) and fruit (mi).
(laughing)
His cute today too.

We’re now filming episode 3.
This is my third time to work with Asakura Erika, with whom I am also a good friend in private,
since we met on a drama set 5 years ago♪
We talked for hours☆
My tension goes up naturally just by chatting with her(。・_・。)ノ
Being friends is a fantastic thing～

Soon！

Wait for it(‘-^*)

But
Yokoyama-san on the show Miyane-ya
was really something～
(laughing)

Note: Miyane-ya, a tv news show on NTV and local stations;
Ainosuke reffers to the main character of Hidamari Tantei, played by Yamada Ryosuke,
Yokoyama = Yokoyama Yu, playes Ainosuke brother

Recently, evening gatherings and drinking is Ishihara’s family personal boom.
I’m doing a little favour for Suntory (laughing)

When a friend visited us on New Year’s Day, my father bought drinks from the “-196℃” series and from that day on we started to drink together after evening bath☆
Delicious(。・_・。)ノ It really is☆

My new CM is now in tv and new posters in trains seem to be good, so I recieve mails from my firends about them♪
I’m really happy that there is a reaction to my works(‘-^*)
Thank you all for watching my dramas!!
We’re getting on with filming without problem (^-^)v

I’m back to taking polaroids again♪
New “Cheki” with a picture drawn by Yamada-kun and the guest of episode 4 Moriyama Shintaro-kun!

Really cute!!
I want to draw and take photos of lots of memories from the remaining last month☆

There is also new “Circus” magazine now on sale.
I’m wearing suits like a carrier woman★
I’m now in the age when that style is only natural (laughing)
Going to give my best in being 23…
Fighting!

It’s snowing today…
But no matter how cold it is now
warm spring will come.
Let’s laugh together at that harsh winter♪

Satomi

Note: Cheki is a Fujifilm “instax” series camera

The movie “No Longer Human” on screen

It’s a wonderful movie.
I would like you all to see it in the cinema.

There are masterpieces that demand your concetration and work while watching.
So some of you may think that this movie is one of those.
But
I would like you to watch it with no thoughts, just with your heart.
When you dive deep inside the beautiful Arato’s world, who knows, maybe you too will fall in love with Ooba Yozo…
I feel that there will come a day when you proudly say “I have seen “No Longer Human” on big screen”.
Please, visit the cinemas☆

Thank you(‘-^*)

Satomi

Note: Arato Genjiro, the director of the movie
Ooba Yozo is the main character of the novel/movie, played by Ikuta Toma

Entry 162

10th of March
Safely cranked up on the set of “Hidamari Tantei EYE”☆

It was a great crank up.
I cried too when I saw Yamada-kun’s tears.
I was happy to see how the 16-year-old Yamada-kun is always doing his best with a smile on his face.
Even during cold weather or difficult scenes I could do it, because he was there.
I’m really grateful☆

When the final scene was shot,
I remembered the set of my first leading drama “Ns’Aoi”.
It was made with so much power and emotion,
and I was happy to be around funny and great staff and co-stars, who really showed me a lot of friendship.
When I remember those times
I feel gratitude in my heart for being where I am.

I would like Yamada-kun
to remember his first leading role drama with a same good memories.

But, as for me…
I am old enough to reflect on my past now…
It’s the first time a thought about someone else’s feelings
comparing it to things in my past.

I learned good things.
I spend a great time.
Thank you, everyone who become to like Hidamari Tantei
and cheered on us all this time☆

The next day, there was crank-in for the movie “THE INCITE MILL”.
I play a character wich is totally opposite to Hitomi-sensei.
As a preperations for my role I cut my nails really short.
The first day, I had a scene with Katagira Nagisa-san, with whom I worked together in “Hidamari” as well.

It’s so scary, I trembled. It’s heavy.
But also thrilling and interesting! As this whole movie!!

In cinemas in autumn!

Wait for it☆

We filmed the movie for about one month starting the 26th of April last year.

I would like to tell you some stories about it, while waiting for the premiere.

The first day of filming!!

Mr. Giraffe.

So sweet.

His a little bit crossed legs are cute too.

Last summer I went to a safari park with two of my friends.

I do not have a driving licence myself, so I keep relying on them.

It’s always the same when we go somewhere by car.

But for exchange I tend to take the role of the camera-girl.

Sorry for that.

And thank you.

I noticed it now, but both of you have “Jun” in your name!

Only I am an odd one out!

Today’s work’s over!

It is, so it’s time for me to become a professional pachinko player and earn my living on that.

Ah, you there, who said you want to watch that movie Yukisada-san directed, based on the novel “Parade” by Yoshida Shuuichi-san.

You thought I’m lying?

Yes, I am.

It’s a lie.

Of course it has to be a lie.

A quite obvious one.

I’m sorry…

I played some pachinko on the set of “Parade”.

The sound is amazing, isn’t it?

In the pachinko parlour.

When I graduated from highschool, my cousins took me there once.

They gave me 1000 yen.

And the game ended in the blink of an eye.

But it’s amazing that there are people who really win.

I guess the feeling of winning is great, and they got hooked up on those games.

Well, whatever, I didn’t get hooked up.

I have my manga♪

Do you now “Oshaberi na Amadeus”?

I love that one.

So when you use iPhone…

I use one, haven’t mention that?

Well, nevermind – there’s an application for iPhone to read manga.

I download new stuff often and read.

And I remembered that one and downloaded it to read once again.

It gave me a kick to move forward.

I thought I’m happy to have this job.

I thought deep in my heart that the highschooler who thought of been an actress after reading this manga didn’t change so much.

I have to be grateful for getting a chance to do the things I love.

Thank you for cheering on me all this time.

I alway have great time reading your comments.

Thank you, thank you very much!

Hello！

I’m Narumi Riko.

The “Bushido Sixteen” blog starts today!

When I sing I do not eat regularly, but because of that
my concentration fails, so there is a need to eat something light from time to time.
When you eat little by little, I think you can continue singing with a clear and fresh voice.
By the way – it’s the same with live concerts.

It’s a waste if you cannot sing well not beacuse of stagefright
but because of your empty or not-feeling-well stomach.
So, recently, my favourite dish is curry. Preferebly, indian curry!
I’m satisified with it, beacuse it’s full of beans and vegetables.
I love dal curry too.
And I think that the spices you use in curry can clear your mind…

Spicy aroma, like in chinese medicine, can calm you down.

In the meantime, we are working on the tour preperations.
What kind of tour, stage should we make?
Just wait a little longer, and you’ll see.

Tomorrow is another recording day.
I get the chance to feel music everyday nowadays.
Don’t have a lot of time, but I’m happy with that.

Salyu

I’m in a state of emergency （crying）
Water leaked inside my bag and I don’t know what to do…
What should I do with something made of leather..?

Will the stain stay?

Looking for information.

Pleaseee, help..

☆shihori☆

Gratitude.

Thank you for your advices and words of encouragemnet, everyone. crying

I tried to put lots of clean towels inside and dry it in sunlight..

I’ll try to explain yesterday’s incident – one interview over, moving, and as usual I put a 1,5l bottle of water to my bag, and when I tried to drink it…

It was too late.

The bottle had opened and the inside of my bag was floating. （；＿；）

I had backpacks and linen bags in bright colors not made from leather.

But leather ones – in dark colors or black – should be alright even in huge rain.

But the victim was, unfortunetly, a bright pink one, and – leather.

If it’s still not good I’ll try to give it to cleaning, as some of you have mentioned.

I’ll go with it to the shop after some time.

I’m really really grateful to you, guys（；＿；）

The picture was made while filming “Parade”

My hair was still light brown then.

The premiere will be soon~

Oh, time is so fast.

☆shihori☆

Yesterday I sang on my friends wedding.
Recently I’ve noticed something like a wedding rush? around me. When I say, “no, it’s not the time yet”, I notice that one by one my friends held wedding ceremonies.

We say that when we get older each year flows away faster, but when I get 25 I realized how precious each and every single year for a girl in her later twenties. Because it’s time to think about such a big change in your life like wedding.

The bride is beautiful and happy, looking captivating in her white dress that catches your heart.

(in english) I hope you had a lovely Valentine everyone.
I spent a wonderful time singing at a friend’s wedding.
