Sushi Prince By Koichi Domoto, Sushi Ouji

[elysia]

According to some recent TV mags, the drama is going to start airing on 27th July!!

And Koichi is going on this show hosted by Taichi called "Aura no Izumi" on 28th July~~~ Strange show to go... but I'll look forward to it anyway... hopefully they don't say "stupid things"... this show (according to those who watch?) invites guests to be analysed by 2 "masters" who have spiritual powers... I wonder what they are going to say about Koichi??? But anyway, from the bits and pieces I see, Koichi's visuals are excellent!! Can't believe they made him wear a black suit... very handsome~~

Now I need someone to enlighten me what this show is about. I only know it's hosted by Kusanagi Tsuyoshi... *if I'm not wrong* Maybe I shld go dl an episode to see what this is about.

Tsuyoshi has mentioned that Koichi made sushi for him.

Love Fighter June 30, 2007

Yesterday, I ate the sushi that Koichi made by himself.

Even though it's just
normal taste (^-^)v
that guy in future
would definitely be a
great sushi master
One who could
protect our world
a perfect hero

But really
it tastes really good

Especially the octopus tentacles, tentacles

More or less
thanks to him
he let the engine in my tummy
power itself up...
after that
I went out still
for dinner

Even though it's in the middle of the night

sushi shops have already closed
I couldn't eat any

I still headed to a small store
ate some sashimi
only then I headed home

ahahah really
very tasty
Partner (>_<)

The bill pls, boss!

This is one of the best entries ever!! I've read various kinds of translations for this Love Fighter and it's still quite ambiguous...but other translations gave me the impression that he went out for sushi with Koichi and he asked his aikata to pay the bill?!Not sure though but i'll leave that to everyone's imagination =P

[ryo]

Hahaa.. yes, I've read this Love Fighter before. So cute^^

Thank you, kedaikopi. I didn't even know he was filming in the US.

And he was gone just as quickly as he came.
But what really depresses me is my NY friend was in Japan at the time Koichi was here. Just a few days ago. She missed seeing him for me by a few days.
But still, Koichi was here! HERE!!!!!

Ah, finally, I caught up with the surfing.

So at this blog here there was a casting call and that's how the fans knew.

I always wondered how fans know the schedules of the artists.

[Kaze]

uaaa lucky indeed...!!!!

I have finished reading the Zen of Fish which is all about sushi making so that I could understand better when Koichi's drama come around.

I've done a brief review of the book and there is a slight mention of martial arts used by sushi chefs. I think Koichi may be doing just that.

Myojo June 2007

In the July drama Sushi Prince, I would be the sushi chef and the karate practictioner. So I went to a sushi shop for a few days to practice making sushi. In real terms, it is really very hard. When you are a customer and you look up at the counter, it looks very simple. But when you change it to be the person behind the counter, I was shocked. First, from the rice pot, taking out a right amount of rice is a skill in itself. It can’t be too much, it can’t be too little. Those who have worked in this field for a few years, they could do it with their eyes closed. But, no matter how, I’m just a learner. Besides, it has to be attractive, fast because no matter when you make it, sushi ingredients would become warm and it would taste bad. No one would want to eat warm sashimi? I want to play the role a bit more realistically and so I tried very hard to keep practicing making sushi.

I heard that Tatsuro Yamashita when composing for this drama, just the rhythm alone took him over a day. He’s really very professional. If I have to be categorized, then I would be like his type. Very often people say, “Tsuyoshi is the perceptual type but Koichi has the professionalism.” It’s probably because I am not very confident of my own perceptual instincts and couldn’t copy others. So I might as well create my own style. No matter what, one has to work hard and look forward. I think only with such foundation could one complete a task to the utmost.

As for the element of Karate in the TV drama, I didn’t practice it as much as I did for sushi making. (laughs). More or less, there is a master in the series but he doesn’t teach me the techniques but to teach me the skills in everyday life. For instance, When you wax a car, the movement required is a bit like defense techniques. Right, it is like The Karate Kid where they describe the karate kid – that type of feel.

Anyway, I think this time, the TV drama should be relaxing. “That’s entertainment!” With a good meaning, it’s lively, and a bit nonsensical story. (laughs) I also have a hairdo that is shocking to others. I acted with all seriousness. So please enjoy it!

I came to know him when I heard Ride on Time in Kimura's Good Luck. Such a great song. I have confidence that it would be a lively song along such lines even though he would be letting Kinki Kids sing it.
