EXILE‘s Akira has been tabbed as Jin Akanishi‘s replacement in a remake of the classic television show, “Great Teacher Onizuka“.
The Nikkan Sports newspaper reported on Saturday that 30-year-old EXILE band member Akira has been informally named as 27-year-old actor/singer Jin Akanishi’s replacement for the GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka live-action television series remake. The newspaper’s source said that original creator Tohru Fujisawa strongly advocated for an actor similar to the wild persona of the story’s title character.
According to the newspaper, Kansai TV is producing the series for its broadcast premiere on the Fuji TV network this July, and it will run on Tuesdays at the 10:00 p.m. timeslot.
Unlike others, I’m not asking why they choose him, as I’m still asking why they’re remaking this.
It was aired in 1998, so it’s not even 15 years old and they’re rebooting it again. Ugh.
It’s a long road back just to live up to Sorimachi Takashi‘s version, which makes me wish they would just rebroadcast the original instead.
Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Finally, a MAN’s body. Not a bad start to feed my physical appetite.
Is this the one that’s dating the AKB48 member?
No that’s Takahiro.
If they’re dating, she got great taste.
No.
Aww, you put that kind of picture of him up for the us didn’t you? That’s was sweet. (^ω^)
Call me slow or whatever, I didn’t know they had a live action version of this show. I only knew about it when my brother used to watch the anime series back in the day when it played on showtime….or was it HBO..whatever. Just for that photo, Imma give him a shot. Also, he looks/fits the role of a hot Japanese street urchin.
“for the us…” *facepalm at typo
I don’t like him! i know it is just your way to convey message for us girls who formed a revolution at your other post!!the picture screams “YOU BAD GIRLS SHALL BE CHAINED ON THIS CHAIN PADLOCK(WHATEVER YOU CALL THAT)FOR WANTING A RELIEF FOR YOUR HORMONE RUN”.
Seriously,why depriving us of “BAGEL GUY?” you know,the one with an angelic face that says “I’ll take care of you and kiss your feet when you want it” with a hot 16 pack abs rocking body that screams “I’ll protect you in this crazy crazy world,baby.don’t you worry.”
Why big daddy,why not?
Do you agree with me girls?
The original live action sucked, so maybe they wanna make a live action that’s more accurate to the anime? :o
The fuck?
Well, I only saw a little bit of Jin acting and he sucked and um…. I think he would probably suck if he had did this role so; as long as it’s not Jin. But I don’t have much comment on AKIRA. Only saw him in Tumbling and he was pretty cheesy there so… would be interesting to see him play a hornball tough dude.
ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING REMAKES. :rage:
I like Jin for the drama he kicks up but I’m happy as hell he got booted and Akira is stepping in, hell yes *HerbertthePervertmoan*
