It seems there was a tiny snippet of Jun doing a promo on TVBS-G a Taiwan TV station. He spoke a bit of Mandarin in his introduction.

Anyway, I've uploaded the file to this file hosting website that seems to be legit. They offer unlimited storage and unlimited time line. Please click on the banner above for referrals. Thanks.

The Hidden Fortress (隠し砦の三悪人, Kakushi toride no san akunin) is a 1958 film by Akira Kurosawa.

This is the rumoured movie that Jun will be starring in. The question is which part will he be casted in, the General Rokurota Makabe role is supposedly the hero's role or will he be one of the 2 peasants?

Of course if Jun were to be dressed as the princess he would make a pretty passable princess afterall he is nicknamed the HIME by most of the fans.

Since he is having riding lessons at a horse riding school, I can safely assume that it would be casted in the role of General Rokurota Makabe. The person entrusted with the responsibilty of guiding the princess to safety.

I have been hankering for a historical drama role for Jun for sometime now so I guess this will have to do in place of Jun being Kenshin. At least he gets to wield a sword and look manly. (hahahaha) But from the screen caps of that old movie, General Rokurota don't look like he'll be wearing his general's uniform much.

Well, until the film is officially announced, I'll just keep on musing and pondering on it. I do want to see Jun in a challenging role.

Today, I'm thinking again on my numero uno Bambi. When he starred in Kindaichi, he really was such a bambino. Just after debut and still such a tenderfoot. That was the first time he was the lead in a drama. The pressure was intense and it really hit him hard then.

After watching that Kindaichi drama for the umpteenth time, I really do like his Kindaichi. Dorky, geeky, doofus and yet so adorable. The cases were neat. Other than the one case concerning the dogs, I really liked the entire drama. Hajime was a very good character to start off with. In the course of that drama, Jun-baby was working with some other actors and actresses that would also be his co-stars in other dramas.

Suzuki Anne, Yamada Yu, Fukuishi Kazue, Narimiya Hiroki have all starred in other productions with him.

I was watching a few clips on the making of Kindaichi and also some other interviews from that time. Even then, you can see the dorkiness of Jun. At the same time, they had their Mayonaka no Arashi variety program. The scaredy cat Jun was very cute. The Jun of that time was in some aspects a mirror for Hajime.

If only vox would allow for vids larger than 50MB. Gonna try to upload those said interviews here.
