Arashi member, Masaki Aiba, presented on the 4 cities simultaneous preview of the drama ‘My Girl/マイガール' in which he starred. “It's a little bit embarrassing to watch on such a big screen. It's a warm story though sad things happened. I'm very happy to challenge new stuff in the 10th anniversary of Arashi.” said by Aiba.
‘My Girl' is based on the same title serial manga in Comic Weekly. Kasama Masamune (Aiba) received the obituary of the girl, Yoko, who disappeared 6 years ago. Meanwhile, Masamune found that Yoko secretly gave birth to his daughter and he decided to live with her, Koharu. The drama focuses on the communication between Masamune and Koharu.
Aiba was wearing high school uniform in the drama, “Once I put on the uniform, I feel like becoming a taxi driver. I also tried to put on glasses and change my hair style. It's 120 point to me.” said Aiba, “It's kind of terrible to be looked at by other members in Arashi. So I had them send it to my house.” said Aiba while smiling. “The common point with the role I played is being indecisive. We are just the same!” When he was asked about the “ideal woman”, Aiba said: ”Those who come to Arashi's concert!” Cheers burst in the meeting hall, “It's good for a man who can express embarrassing things in a light way.”

おめでとうさとし！！！
Another country, another “Hana Yori Dango” remake.
ABS-CBN, a major television network in the Philippines has bagged the rights for the fifth— and as of this writing– current “Hana Yori Dango” remake. If you check the network’s Wikipedia page, listed under the ‘Upcoming Shows: Foreign Adaptation’ is the said drama. But unlike the Korean version which takes after the Japanese dorama, the Philippine remake will follow the “Meteor Garden” format instead.
Aired in 2001, “Meteor Garden” was the first TV adaptation of the “HYD” manga. It became an instant hit all over Asia especially in the Philippines.
This is not the first time the Philippines is remaking a huge Asian drama. Just last year, Filipinos were treated to their own version of popular Korean dramas “My Girl” and “My Lovely Samsoon”. With the success of these remakes, Philippines is set to get more adaptations of Asian (mostly Korean) dramas including “All About Eve”, “Full House”, and if you look closely at that screen cap, you can see “Lovers in Paris” and “Princess Hours” too.
The casting for this new remake is yet to be finalized but the network already listed Sarah Geronimo, a famous actress and singer in her country, to play the role of San Cai/Makino/Jandi.
This is too much for me to handle at the moment. The news about the Chinese F4 hasn’t sunken in yet and now it looks like there’s another one brewing up. Honestly, at the rate at how the “HYD” franchise is being sold, I won’t be surprise if by 2010 there will be a “Hana Yori Dango” drama in every country.

SYNOPSIS
Inspired by real events. Collin Briggs [XXXX Aiba?] nearing the end of a long sentence for murder, is transferred to the minimum security open prison. When he is given an unwanted Christmas present of plant seeds by fellow inmate Fergus Wilks [XXXX], he plants them begrudgingly in the harsh, infertile soil, and much to his surprise, they bloom. The prison governor is so impressed that he commissions the man [Aiba?] and three inmates to cultivate a garden. Also impressed is gardening author and television personality Georgina Woodhouse [XXXX?] who sponsors them for Hampton Court, the pinnacle of garden shows. As [XXXX Aiba?] flexes his ‘greenfingers’, he finds love with Georgina’s daughter Primrose [XXXX].
