it's a drama that's based on a novel, which is about the olden China era... apparently a Japanese actress will play Cixi Empress Dowager, but the rest of the cast have names similar to Chinese, so... oh well.

so what's the name of the drama if that's the case

The cover is pretty, aside from her nails.. which I hate. ugh

waterballoon · #4 20th November 2009, 04:13 AM

@Karen: the title of the novel that the drama is based on is (posted by maj) Soukyuu no subaru (蒼穹の昴)

and according to the press conference that genie has posted, the name of the drama is the same as the novel, except in Chinese. so it's like 蒼穹之昴

so it's a drama about chinese history written by a japanese? main actress (the queen in the drama) = japanese actress, others are mostly chinese.

well, the main characters are all chinese , except for her...but i think there should be a few more japanese actors too.

LOLLL

I know I don't think anyone who want to wake up at 8am to watch a drama D:

at most give her a good drama tie in in which the drama's aired during the golden hour period ie. at night

majrakun · #10 20th November 2009, 04:39 AM

Who's gonna watch it? Probably the retired uncles and aunties who have nothing else to do, maybe some hardcore Ayu fans. XD

If I could I'd probably watch it. Historical dramas interest me. XD

Baernash · #12 20th November 2009, 04:53 AM

That would be funny if AYU's "BALLAD" would have anything common with alan's "BALLAD" (not counting title of course) xD

Crystal_Ageha · #13 20th November 2009, 05:05 AM

Ugh, worst tie-in for Ayu ever, possibly? -.- Epitome of crap drama, from the sounds of it. >_<

maze · #14 20th November 2009, 05:22 AM

mmh.. I don't really take very seriously these tie-ins.. they're not important to me =/

pommy48 · #15 20th November 2009, 05:25 AM

Sounds like a crappy drama....even by historical drama standards...

Hopefully the tinkerbell movie will do well....though spin offs usually don't...

So will You were... be in the movie or only just commercials for the movie?

also Ayu will be on the cover for Vivi in the February 2010 issue

same here. i hope she continues to keep her expressions normal/cute, and the teeth-baring days are over (or at least i hope she doesn't have many more of them) same with the fishlips. if she can't stop those then i just hope her beautiful pictures start outweighing the bad ones again

I think it's because Namie's releasing on mid-November as we have expected, and Ayu's going to get her shot later on...

And by the way, aren't we supposed to get the Deji Deji Diary January 2010 edition already at this time? It's November 20th already...
