Happy Birthday TK!!!
Today is October 11, the birthday of one of my ultimate crushes Takeshi Kaneshiro. Happy Birthday TK! He is 36 today but he looks 26, this is what the multi-talented TK is. I remember how I came to know him, it was through his breakthrough drama hit “God Please Give Me More Time. “ I actually mistook him from the guy in Meteor Garden 2, the guy who looks like Jerry Yan. But he wasn’t that guy, besides he’s more good looking than that guy. The only weird thing was that he really seems familiar to me even when I realized he wasn’t that guy from Meteor Garden 2.
So this is how I met the great Takeshi Kaneshiro. My brother also gave some backgrounds on him. He happened to have known the guy before me. My brother seems to know almost anything about TK. We watched together his drama re- titled “Precious Time” which was broadcasted by ABS-CBN last year until December of the same year. The drama was fantastic, it’s award winning and Takeshi as Keigo Ishikawa just blows you away; he is just simply great.
I started scouting his past movies, I went all the way to texting the Asian movie sellers I know but most of them don’t have his movies. Luckily, I found someone who doesn’t sell anymore but she’s selling her own movies. I managed to buy from her an original copy of Lavender and a copy of Tempting Heart and Turn Left Turn Right. I love Tempting Heart, he was still so young then but he’s already showing his awesome acting prowess. And of course, Turn Left Turn Right again with Gigi Leung, but less dramatic but anyhow I still love him in whatever role. He was lovable as Angel in Lavender with the beautiful Kelly Chen; it was just too bad their relationship in real life couldn’t go any further. Takeshi and Kelly Chen had quite a number of movies together, they have great screen chemistry.
My brother also told me he is in House of Flying Daggers; I know the movie because I know Zhang Ziyi. But since when the movie came out in 2004 I haven’t known him then and worst I didn’t see it in movie houses. It would have been perfect seeing him in the big screen and the movie was so great. My brother and I watched it last Christmas over and over again. He was so hot there; he and Ziyi look awesome as a couple. We even bought a dvd of Asian movies, most of his movies are there. So I saw his movie Warlords with Andy Lau and Jet Li. I love the movie, quite surprising since I don’t really dig war movies but you just gonna love the brotherhood story. And again Warlords was shown in Manila last year and I wasn’t able to see it because when it came out I don’t know him yet. I thought it’s just Jet Li’s movie so I didn’t go and see it. I haven’t seen Red Cliff 1 yet cause the copy in the dvd was not clear. I’ll just see it on Saturday when it comes out on theaters.
Again, happy birthday dear Takeshi and I wish you more blessings and more good projects. Be healthy always and I hope you stop smoking. I can’t wait his new movie “ Waiting “again with Zhang Ziyi and his live action movie “ Onimusha “. I’m sure he’ll be great. I just desperately hope I can meet him someday. Happy birthday and I wish you all the best!!!
