Anego

Anego Bloopers

Akanishi Jin

I'm not a Jin fan (despite following him on Twitter), but I loved Anego, and I could watch it all over again (for the third time).  Kudos to whoever subbed this bloopers clip from the DVD.

Screencaps!

I think I've got the screencap thing down now.  Maybe.  Let's test it out, with a screenshot of Jin smirking in Anego:

 

Perfect!  I love this split second.  He rarely smirks in life, though you do see the occassional sneer.

I've been watching Anego again, it seemed appropriate just before I leave for LA and Jin's concert.  I think I'm loving it more this time around, to my besotted (?) eyes, Jin seems a better actor.  In reality, probably my first impression was right, he's wooden, and they tried to give him as few lines as possible (you'd probably have to watch Bandage to get the real story now).

City Hall and chemistry

No, not the band, though you're forgiven for thinking that, since this is a j-pop blog.

I've just finished watching episode 7 of City Hall.  Let me say, I don't really understand the term "on screen chemistry;" it seems like it's just something used to cover one aspect of good acting.  If you don't have chemistry, and you're supposed to, surely it's because you're not a good enough actor (or you have a bad director, more like).  But the lead characters in City Hall have so much on screen chemistry going on you wonder what's going on off screen.
