[potensvita]

i was hoping that there will be more picture. laughs.
he is so hot, as Takumi in Nana... ^^

[mj07]

ooh, you just started a thread for him? can't believe there wasn't one before! I'm checking him out in the new j-dorama "Boss", though so far I haven't found any subs for it yet!

PS I almost died from his hotness in "Nana"!

[edenbeam]

Definitely one of my favourite Japanese actors.
Did anyone see Prisoner? The acting wasn't the best there, but he looked sooo~ good.
And half of the time he talked in English, it was rather funny. XD

[shiningstar153]

I'm currently fangirling him in BOSS with Erika Toda (he also acted with her in Ushi ni Negai Wo: Love and Farm). Very cool and sophisticated. *^^*

[potensvita]

you know, i realised that he had this really sharp look with him, like how he is as takumi in Nana... but why aren't him making it big in Japan?

Let's hope BOSS will make him a better known actor.

[-ohdarn-]

He has this clean cut look that just blows me away. His acting is good too...\


Did I mention that he's hott?

[b06]

WOW I can't believe tamayama didn't have a thread yet, until now. THANK YOU!!!

One of my all time favorite Japanese actor. I love seeing him in slacks and suits. Very handsome guy and very talented too.

[suzic87]

I love him especially in Brother beat one of my fave Jdramas. I've also got my mum started in liking him (that may be a good or bad thing :x)

[COOKIE.BANDIT.]

MY ALL TIME LOVE!!!!! Tetsuji Tamayama!!!

wow i can't believe there wasn't a thread either! haha

he's so handsome but i think is acting is alright

[t3n5h1_chu_k015h173]

[t3n5h1_chu_k015h173]

[News] Josei Seven says Tetsuji Tamayama & Chiaki Kuriyama have been dating since spring.

[b06]

^ WHAT?! seriously?!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! then again as a fan of his I'm glad to hear this as long as he's happy. I've been wondering what's up with his love life but it's nice they're dating, he is getting older by the minutes.

Eita, Juri Ueno team up again for "Twitter drama"
Tue, February 23, 2010 (12:43am EST)


Eita (27) and Juri Ueno (23) will co-star in the upcoming Fuji TV drama series "Sunao ni Narenakute." The two have already appeared on screen together in several works, including the movie "Summer Time Machine Blues" and the dramas "Nodame Cantabile" and "Last Friends."

At the heart of the drama is the social networking and micro-blogging service Twitter, which has quickly risen in popularity worldwide and is starting to catch on in Japan. The story is set in Shibuya, one of Tokyo's centers of youth culture, where five men and women meet through Twitter. Through their interactions, they overcome their individual problems and create a true friendship.

Eita plays a photographer named Nakaji who had aimed to become like his father, who was a war photographer before he was changed by a battlefield injury. Ueno plays the part-time high school teacher Haru, who is irritated by her own inexperience.

Tetsuji Tamayama (29) takes on a leader-like role for the group, though he plays a sensitive man working in publishing while dealing with erectile dysfunction. Megumi Seki (24) plays Haru's best friend, who is having an affair with her own boss. The fifth member of the group is still being cast.

Popular screenwriter Eriko Kitagawa is handling the script. Kitagawa was responsible for "Orange Days" (which Eita and Ueno also appeared in) and other hit dramas, though "Sunao ni Narenakute" is her first for Fuji TV since "Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi" in 2002.

"Sunao ni Narenakute" will premiere in April, airing on Thursday nights at 10:00pm.
