Juyo Sankounin Tantei [J-Drama]

Hey UMASTs,

It has been a long time since I updated the post, right? And after a long time, I got a very good news. Huhu. Well, I think most of you have already knew about it, though.

Yuma-kun will be appearing in a drama titled "Juyo Sankounin Tantei" as a guest (as Uozumi Sota) on episode 2 of the drama together with my most favorite actress, Shida Mirai! When I knew about this, I'm almost cried. Huhu 😭. The main cast of this drama are also my favorite actors; Tamamori Yuta (Kis-My-Ft2) and Furukawa Yuki.

Well...although he's only a guest for this drama, and even though he's not even the main cast, I'm still happy with my whole-heart. Huhu.

This is Yuma-kun's comment :
"Tamamori is my senior in at our agency but, in the workplace like the sports day or countdown, I gradually feel happy to meet him in this kind of places. We only had been together in the drama Pin to kona but my impression doesn't change. He's very young, and kind senior! Before Tamamori-kun is a shy guy but now I can see that he can already talk to the people in the scene (laughs)."

By the way, this is the drama's synopsis :-

Kei Maneki (Yuta Tamamori) works as a model. He has bad luck with murder cases taking place when he works. Kei Maneki becomes an important witness in these murder cases. To clear his name, Kei Maneki and his model friends Itsuki Suo (Keiichiro Koyama) and Toma Shimon (Yuki Furukawa) attempt to solve the murder cases.

By the way, Yuma-kun look soo cute in this photo. Haha.

As a fan, we all knew that Yuma-kun has been busy with his stage plays and musicals recently. And as a fan, we all are waiting for his new songs, singles, and albums. Even so, as a fan...let's support him and be happy for him for whatever his work is.

Last p/s : don't forget to watch this drama, my fellow UMASTs! Especially the 2nd episode. Hihi 😀

See you again on the next update! 😎

Nakayama Yuma (中山優馬) 2017

Nakayama Yuma 2017

Since the junior's time, Yuma-kun has been busy with many sorts of works. It may seem that he's free almost all the time to other people, but as an UMASTs, we all know how much efforts he put for his career. We all know how busy he's every year. Well, he's talented in many things after all.

Concerts, performances, stage plays, acting, photo shoots, radios, variety shows, talks...

Most of people only look at the main schedule of an artist. As a singer, of course most of fans will look at his new singles/albums/performances...But for Yuma-kun, his main schedules are not only in singles/albums...but also acting and stage plays/musicals.

Such as this year...like last year, most likely, he's focused more in stages more than in front of cameras. I'm waiting for his new single/songs...I'm waiting for his new tour/concert...of course and without any doubt, I'm hoping for it. Anyone and everyone hoping for it too, especially the UMASTs.

However, I still can wait patiently for it and I will. Why? Because I know how busy he's is with his works. Well, as for now, these 4 are his main schedules of the year. Is it seem few? Just to let you know, he's also busy with his other regular schedules such as radios, variety shows, photo shoots...and not to mention the practices, training, and rehearsals. If anything, I'm more worried if he get enough rests or not.

That's why, I can wait for his new single/songs.

And if there's something that I'm unsatisfied for...it was because I can't go and watch Yuma-kun's stage plays and musicals! If only I'm in Japan. Huhu...

Anyway, I hope everyone can wait patiently for anything you want from him, either new single, new songs, new dramas/movies, new tours...In his place, I'm asking sincerely. Onegaishimasu! 🙏

As for Yuma-kun...whatever it is, I'll always support you from behind! It's every UMAST's wish to see you at the top of the world~ Even if it takes 10 years from now or more, it's alright. We'll always be beside you. Ganbare!! And don't forget to get enough rests and eat lot of delicious and healthy foods. Hehe.

Okay, that's all.
Can't wait to see Yuma-kun's new drama! It's less than a month more! Yes!! #Hokuto

UMAST,

Nakayama Yuma (中山優馬) New Drama 'Hokuto' 2017!!

Hey UMASTs!!! Good news for us..haha XD

As the post's title has mentioned..it's about Yuma-kun's new drama series!! I knew there's gonna new project for him next year. Why? Because movie 'Donten ni Warau' was postponed? Haha. But, it's kinda a bit disappointed because there's only 5 episodes..Huhu..

Anyway, here is it :-

Drama : Hokuto
Station : WOWOW
Scripwriter : Takimoto Tomoyuki
Original Work : 2012 novel 'Hokuto Aru Satsujinsha no Kaishin' by Ishida Ira
Cast : Nakayama Yuma
Release : March 2017
Episodes : 5
Synopsis :
- 20-year-old Hokuto (Nakayama Yuma) is being detained as a murderer and tells his court-appointed lawyer Takai Soichi to get him the death penalty. Hokuto was actually severely abused by his parents in his childhood and starved of love. He met Kondo Ayako who became his foster mother through child welfare services and learnt love for the first time. Released from the darkness of his mind, he started to feel like a new person but he is made sport by bizarre fate and becomes a murderer.

During filming of the drama series, Yuma Nakayama dropped 12 kilograms to portray his character. Poor Yuma-kun~ T^T Please be strong!! We're here to supported you. Huhu. Once again, his character are far-away from his real personalities. There's no cutie Yuma-kun here. Haha~ :p

Then, this is Yuma-kun's comment for this drama series :

During the audition, I clearly remember how powerful and distructive words are. For the first time I have met Hokuto, I re-read the script and at that moment for the first time I worried that "I have responsibility in this one".

At one moment when this wonderful work was given to me, I can't stop trembling. Although I am feeling anxious, I was fascinated having to meet the director, and I can boast that I was able to stand until the end. Until now I can't forget the words said by the director "The volume of everyone's sweat and tears had been shed into this work, then the rest is how far will it take us to properly do it"

My role, Hashizume Hokuto was abused and then became a murderer but, he is just a normal person who "wanted to be loved".

In this work, certainly there are scenes that you just want to cover your eyes because it is too cruel. But still, please watch Hashizume Hokuto's life until the end.

TRAILERS:-

Trailer Hokuto 15 sec Ver.

Trailer Hokuto 30 sec Ver.

Btw, just wanna say...one of my favorite korean actor, Kim Soo Hyun, also gonna appeared with a new movie!! Of course you all know him, right? The movie's title is Real and it'll aired in 2017, also. The cameo with Suzy and IU are also makes me jumped excitingly. And not to mention..the genres are quite similar with Yuma-kun's Hokuto. Well, not 100% similar..but quite. How can this happening?! Haha!! Can't wait also to see Soo Hyun. But, of course the one that I'm anticipating more is Yuma-kun. <3

Anime "Battery"

Do you remember Yuma-kun's first drama? The drama titled "Battery". Have you watched it? I've watched it many times!! Haha..

The anime for the drama has been out!!
When I knew about it, I jumped excitingly!!! Haha...It's the anime version of Yuma-kun's drama! Isn't it exciting?!

However, this is the first time I found an anime was released after the drama/movie. It's always anime before drama/movie, right? hehe..

Well..I'm gonna watch the anime now~ (^-^)

Yuma-kun as Actor

I just watched all Yuma-kun's drama once again. And once again, I'm touched by his acting. Well, he's really an amazing actor, without a doubt. If you ask me which character that I love the most, I would say 'Narumi Hikaru/Hiro'. I really love Yuma-kun's character in drama 'Piece'.

However, the character that touched me the most is in drama 'Pin to Kona'. Well, maybe because he have to conveyed more feeling in this drama. In the early episodes, I'm really get annoyed at Hiroki. And at the later episodes, I'm really cried non-stop because of Yuma-kun too.

Ohhh..Yuma-kun really is an amazing actor!
Not to mention, most of his character in dramas are really different from his real character..
I want to watch 'Haunted Campus' and 'Donten ni Warau'!!!

 'Koishite Akuma'

'Smoking Gun'

YUMA-KUN'S JR. DAYS

Cute isn't he? Hehe ^-^

I got to know the little Yuma-kun after I discover him being a soloist. After the confusion of course I would look up at everything that can satisfied my feeling. But then, the answer makes me interest in him. He is really innocent~ and he's really a fine person, good to everyone around him.

My love for him start to bloom after I watch his interview for his first drama, Battery. He's acted as Harada Takumi, who's had an amazing talent in baseball, alongside Takada Sho, who's acted as his best-friend. This drama is about 2 teenager (junior high student) that develop their firm friendship through their battery in the baseball club.

At first, I thought that the production just edit it here and there..or something like that..but it turns out that Yuma-kun is really good at baseball! Even Takada Sho that catch his ball in the drama also said so. I was just like..wow~

Yuma-kun really done a great job in acting for character that different from his actual person, even this is his very first time acting. And not to mention he's at a very young age that time. He's truly had natural talent in him, doesn't he? Hehe..

Have you read his 10000 words long interview?

I just read it a few days ago. I just by coincidence found the translation for that interview in net. Seriously, I've been excited all day just because I found it. Haha! Anyway, from that interview I just knew that he's been in audition 2 times. The first one was in the 5th grade, and the second one was when he was in the first year of middle school. The first one was a baseball assessment for the Johnny's baseball event. Well of course he passed. He's an experienced player..The second one was the dance assessment. He's bit worried that time. But during this second audition he met with the president, Johnny Kitagawa and because of that he passed.

Then he continued debut together with his fellow member of Top Kids, Kamiyama Tomohiro and Fujii Ryusei.

Does he's actually really want to be an idol? No~
Then does he want to be a baseball player? Not really~

It's kind of surprising, right? I always thought that he want to be an idol, with his talent that amazingly shown. Even if it's not, he might want to be a baseball player. That's what I'm always thought before. But it turns out that he's actually want to be a fisherman! What the-?! It really brought me to surprise. Yeah~ he's really an innocent boy that time..haha

People said that Johnny want to make Nakayama Yuma as the next BIG-thing! Well, actually I do believe that it will happen someday soon. He's got a big potential in him and there's an amazing talent in him. We can see it clearly ever since he is a junior. So it may not be wrong for Johnny for wanting that. Right?

Oh well, just like I said before..Yuma-kun has been in many groups, with various kind of peoples, but why did he end up being a soloist? This question have always been in my mind for a long time. Then yesterday, I think I have found the answer. And I think what I thought the answer is, nearly to the truth 100%. Well, I hope so.

It was kind of sad that he didn't join any groups. But at the same time I also kind of love his career as a soloist too. Hihi. He just looks superb whether he's in a group or not. One thing that I thought about him was he was just fine with everything he did and with everyone he meet. Even if he's in any groups, he can be with anybody; either from the Tokyo or Kansai. He's just a hard-working person in whatever things he tried to do. In his career as a singer, with dancing, with acting, and with everything! That's what I realized after watching his career progress for awhile.

Other than acting in dramas, Yuma-kun also acts in stage plays/musicals such as Playzones, Dream boys, ANOTHER, The Picture of Dorian, Soleil, and Cross-Heart...Oh well, we will talk about them later~~

The six dramas above are all the dramas that he's been acting as the lead role, although not all of them as the main. There are also time he's acting as the supporting actor such as in the drama Hidarime Tantei Aye that lead by his comrade in NYC, Yamada Ryosuke-kun. Too bad. It would be fantastic if Yuma-kun and Yamada-kun act in the same drama, together. Hmm..

I've watch all six dramas above and I realized that Yuma-kun was always acted as a person that has different characteristics than himself. Erm, do you understand what I mean? Sorry, my language just not good at all..huhu

Anyway, I don't know what other people think of Yuma-kun..but I do know that I really, really, really respect him..as a fan and as a person.
