The night before Takuya go back to Japan, he went to have a dinner with Wong Kar Wai and other actors/actresses/etc.. They book a private room for Takuya and the whole dinner only cost around HK$8000 (around US$1,000). Wong Kar Wai, Faye + Tony even prepared some Chinese wine for him. During their conversation, Takuya use simple English to communicate with them and because he wasn't feeling well, he didn't eat a lot. But the reporter asked the waiter what kind of food did they order for Takuya ? The waiter said they ordered many dumplings and Takuya likes corn fried pan, gyoza, cherry meat and kim chi. They dine from 10pm to 1pm and because next day, Takuya has to go back to Japan so after dinner, he returned to the hotel.
When Takuya leave the restaurant, suprisingly he smiled to the reporters then he got into a car and leave the restaurant.

The next morning by 9:30am, Takuya arrived to the airport, this time he didn't passed through any secret tunnels instead he walked through the original gate.
Takuya in HK 45 hours trip finally ends!!!
But he will go to HK again by July so hope to see you again - Takuya !!!!

Answer: 'Austin Powers' toy !!!
**Austin Powers is a big hit comedy movie now showing in the USA**

Kimura Takuya dominates countless pages of publications'
entertainment section, also led HK reporters to work super hard.

How can one not respect Wong Kar Wai. A while ago, rumors said
that Kimura Takuya (whose schedule is very tight) agreed to film
<2046>, but a complete script is needed for him to come. Several days ago,
rumors said that he would be in HK for fittings, many reporters waited
for 2 days without seeing him.

He finally surfaced at the airport; one day later, everyone
realized that not only did he come for image-do, he's here for the
official starting of film shootings.

2 days ago (a holiday), reporters were right on guessing that
Wong Kar Wai would start shooting that day!

In the movie industry, when one shoots on a holiday, extra
compensations are needed so unless the film is in a rush or else shooting is
not done on a holiday; even have to pick holiday as the starting day of
the filming, really hard to calculate/predict.

* 1 Lipstick CM *
Kimura Takuya has countless supporters in HK because of j-drama
trend. Countless young males and females like him, his fans even include
actresses here such as Do Do (HK female host), Maggie ( Ekin's girlfriend ).

A lipstick CM caused HKers to pay attention to him. Kimura was
the spokesperson for a certain brand of lipstick, female lipstick was
applied on his lips. At that time, using a male star in female's
cosmetic products was considered a shock/challenge.

At that time, HKers have little chance to see J-TV programs,
majorityonly saw him as someone with a handsome face (so handsome that he
looks somewhat like a girl.)

Until brought up the heat-flow in HK, HK audience
started to know him, truly admiring his acting.

Fever
appeared initially in video format, j-drama VCD
wasn't in yet then.

J-drama videotape with chinese subtitles came from Taiwan.
Think that was the 1st to have pirated VCD>.

Following , the Kimura-drama that drove HKers
craziest must be , this young drama with beautiful
pairing became even more popular than among
young people; even though its storyline couldn't match the previous
one, but it won with its matching pairing.

Last year Kimura starred with 's Nakayama Miho
(extremely popular with audience in HK) in another j-drama ,its outcome was not as good as expected. {H: why this comment?
Average rating recap: -- 30.8%, -- 29.6%, --25.2%}

The popularity of these 2 lead stars are extremely high, however
puttingthem together had less usage, this drama was not as romantic as
and .

Among j-drama fans in HK, 9 out of 10 like to watch love stories,
also these love stories have to be starred by their favorite j-idols,
they don't like others. Therefore, they aren't fans of j-dramas, what
they like are simply several idols and the same type of drama type.

* Handsome & Good Acting *
Kimura fans are definitely hoping that <2046> will be a love
story even though this super idol's film is very wide.

Kimura Takuya is popular not only because he's handsome, his
acting is really good, plus he's willing to play different types of roles,
not like HK idols who are worried about their images being ruined.

Kimura even played murderer before, it's said that his working
attitude is pretty good; his film salary is lower than certain HK actors.
Following Tokiwa Takako {H: starred in with
Leslie Cheung>} and Kimura Takuya, many J-stars will come to HK to
participate in HK movies, j-drama trend is challenging the productions of HK movies.
