haha ya I think it's something like that...I can't remember either....I remember reading about it from somewhere and Pi is a "bad guy" in the there! LOL bad boy Pi, haha I can't wait to see that...his character in dragon sakura was suppose to be bad boy too but he doesn't look like it! He's too innocent for the bad boy look! hehe

[shuuji.2.akira]

hmm i've been trying to find a plot outline for kurosagi..
buh seeing as it's not out yet..it's quite difficult ><
since it's adapted from da manga 'kurosagi' i found heaps of outlines of da manga
it should be quite similar

Alternative title:
Kurosagi: The Black Swindler

Plot Summary: White swindlers (shirosagi) are those that cheat people to take their money, red swindlers (akasagi) are those that swindle the opposite sex, and black swindlers (kurosagi) are those that cheat the white and red swindlers. After his family is swindled by white swindlers, Kurosagi sets out to avenge them by becoming a black swindler.
[taken from a manga site]

KUROSAGI is a series currently running in the Weekly Young Sunday magazine about a boy loses his family through the works of a swindler, and swears revenge.
[taken from Akadot]

well there are actually quite a few summaries abt da SERIES kurosagi dat yamapi's gona star in
buh da problem is...THEY'RE ALL IN JAP ><!!
as they're all articles from jap news....=(
i'm not accomplished in jap enuff to kno wat it's talking abt...
buh if ne1 here can read jap, u can find plenty of information here
http://www.tbs.co.jp...m/kurosagi.html
http://www.sanspo.co...2006012604.html
http://www.nikkanspo...60126-0003.html
http://www.daily.co....26/202669.shtml

i can only make out da word 'swindler' - only bcoz it's da same as chinese characters ><
n also yamapi's name (which i had learnt to recognise =P )
oh well if ne1 here can read it, plz translate it for us too =)

[KL_Mystic]

Thanks for the information shuuji.2.akira!!!
I read from an article that many fans were unsatisfied with the unromantic ending of Akira & Nobuta in NWP so they're hoping to see a relationship between these two fulfilled in Kurosagi. :dance I guess I was one of them.

[shuuji.2.akira]

yeh i'm one of da hopefuls too ^^ i love watching well-matched romance
n i consider maki n yamapi well-matched =)
hmm does ne1 kno wat character maki plays?
n has ne1 got ne more info for us abt kurosagi? ><
da amt of information is alarmingly little o.O

[shuuji.2.akira]

lol oh well...makes it all da more interesting doesn't it?
i mean if it's one relationship throughout it mite b a bit boring =P
need a 3rd person to spark things up a lil ^^
i juz hope dat this series will hav a decent love story unlike da other series yamapi has been in ><
*placing all my hopes on kurosagi...don't DISAPPOINT ME!*
btw pplz....ne more info? ^^"

[sweet_honeydew]

LOL yes yamapi has "forbidden love" with maki in kurosagi
he said during one of his interviews in the magazine....

anyways, did you guys know that you can leave comments on the kurosagi website?
like you can leave comments about what you think of the drama and everything
but I do think you have to type it in japanese!! -_______-"

also you can write fan letters to yamapi on that site too!!
wahahaha I so wish I know japanese so he can read it!!!
there are instructions posted on helen's blog how to get to fan letter section on the site
sorry, I don't have the link to helen's blog right now becuz I'm in school!
but I will come back to edit this post with her blog link later!

[xLx]

ya..i found dat seCtion..because i can read jap..but i juz cant reali type it..because of my horrible jap grammar.................

times like this i get in a dilemma of whether i shud learn jap..or get a group of english fans to make yamapi learn english............some reason.i think the later is quite impossiBle..

oh man if maki and yamapi aint together in this show i will be super sad.. was already disappointed with nobuta tat he din stay for her!

[SakuraAngel]

omg.. i cant waaaaaait for this to come out!!! but its coming in... 5 days (somewhere around there) =]

now that i look at maki.. she's actually really cute (i saw her in nobuta.. but could never see her face)...

like most of you guyz... i wanna see that romantic side of the story as well.. ^^ as much as i dont wanna admit it.. yamapi and maki do make a cute couple =]

[jacciez]

seriously i don't mind both of them together in real life.. compared to yamapi and keiko.. haha.. at least maki looks decent and guai haha.. but still.. i prefer him single haha...but sooner or later he'll be attached, right?

[tigren]

I can't wait for this. Yamapi is so cute and everything. Hope this will be a great show like Nobuta.

[sweet_honeydew]

he did?? haha well it does look a bit shorter and not as messy!!
btw did you watch the "chu-bo-desuyo" show where he goes on and cook??
it looks like he lost some weight!!!! XD anyways, that's not that point haha
the point was he was dancing seishun amigo with the host! LOL
I think kame also called the host when the show was almost over
and Pi was talking to him on the phone???
