2009.12.31.

We're leaving this year behind
In about 5 hours...

Before the celebrations
I'll look back at the year

I had chances to meet many of you this year
Until then things were kept in me

Whenever there's any work or events,
you are there to support me

I am really really grateful

For having this type of year
It's my treasure
Above all, I am happy

This year too
There were new developments

A friend got married
And there was a parting from a close friend too

Honestly
I can't really sort this year out yet
It's not easy to put it into words

Anyway
I did my best this year with a smile

Thank you

This has been Narimiya.

Home Party

Yesterday
With a close friend
We had a X'mas party

After work
I went to buy ingredients for cooking...

Although it's Christmas
At the shop entrance
There was New Year decoration

I took in a deep breath to relieve my tension
Isn't that too much!? [laugh]

But of course
It was a very fun party

After moving house
This is the first time
I'm using the dining table properly

I like home parties
While eating
You can take your time with conversations

Like things you can't really
talk about outside

I think that's what is good
about home parties

I'm on a diet, but
On Christmas
Every year, like a routine
I'll have KFC

Ah

The PC was in a bad condition
I went to the Apple Store

Actually I had 2
One to watch DVD
The other is connected to the net,
but couldn't watch DVD

Those 2 are important
They're not working well

So
As a Christmas present to myself
I bought a mac book pro


The staff was great

Like moving data from the old PC,
and explaining about repairs or servicing
They spent half a day

Mac's support staff is excellent
Really super

When I received the receipt
I blurted out

"Let's be friends"
that's what I said ne [laugh]

This Christmas was a good one

This has been Narimiya.

Good for the Body

Today
for anan series

I'm off to collect data for it, through my own experience

Head spa

A picture of the aura was taken

Aura
Can it be measured!?

It was 90% me
Somehow, that doesn't make sense ne [laugh]

Today's experience
will be published in anan sometime in the future
Do look forward to it

I'm taking care of my health today
Supper is good for the body too...

Vegetable mousse from Chez Matsuo




It's almost a shame to eat them
Because they're pretty

I lost to hunger [laugh]

Yesterday
A child came to the .com shop
but wasn't able to meet me

I'm sorry
I had to rush off for my next work

I heard from the salesperson's child
I'll see you next time!!

Tomorrow onwards, I'll be away for a while ♪

Overseas drama
Look out for it

About hikikomori

It's good ne,
To be at home all the time once in a while [laugh]


Well then
This has been Narimiya.

Narimiya Shop Open "Everything is Chosen by Me"

On the 16th, actor Narimiya Hiroki (27) had a PR event at his time-limited select shop 'hirokinarimiya.com' in Shibuya, Tokyo. The store is located near NHK's broadcasting centre and has an interior of 30 square metres. It opened on the 12th. In it are Narimiya's personal selections of clothes, bags, briefs, jewellery and so on. There are about 200 items altogether. He commented, "Everything is chosen by me, it feels like I brought the closet from my home to this shop."

He began selling items on his website in July. The time-limited shop will be open until the 24th. "In time, besides being on the web, I'd like to have a shop. And not only to sell select items, I want to try producing something myself as well," he said, taking on the designer challenge.

Shop Visit!

It's sudden, but today around noon
I'll be at the time-limited shop!

There's going to be a PR event
I might be there for a while ne

I hope everyone will like
the diamond and 18K original rings

They're diamond and 18K
but they are priced reasonably

The rings which I wanted to make for myself,
I made 2 mistakes
They're also in the shop

The sizes are small
They might not fit children either

It's ok

The rings are limited
Do come by if you're interested

To everyone who have come by to the shop
Thank you very much

Seeing customers leaving
Smiling with the time-limited (shopping) bags
As they walk away
Somehow
Happy

After that, with Bloody members

On 'Tokyo Friend Park' and
'Sekai Fushigi Hakken'.

Filming went smoothly
It was amusing
Look forward to it ne.

Well then
This has been Narimiya.

I'm Back

Otsukaresamaa

Yesterday filming began for Bloody Monday

When I heard Director Hirano
saying "J-san"...
I thought "I'm back"

Things were left undone in the previous season
There's opportunities
To create a fresh 'J'

Then
Today was the handshake event in Fukuoka

Fukuokaa~!!!!

Today, too, many people
came for the greeting

Thank you

In movies and dramas,
and now even with this one book,
many people are involved

Besides editors from the publishing company,
staff from bookstores are the ones who handle the books
It's co-operation from everyone

This time
The handshake events were in 3 places
Again
I'm very grateful

Thank you very much
I'm thankful for your assistance

Returning from Fukuoka...
I went directly to the
Narimiya.com shop


Finally, from today onwards,
it's the opening of the time-limited shop

During filming intervals
I drop in for a visit
Maybe I should pretend to be a salesperson? [laugh]

The busy days continue
But I think that it can be accomplished
I'm happy as time passes by

Everyone,
have you read the book?

I await your thoughts

This has been Narimiya.

A Man of Depth

I've been rather busy
Haven't been writing, but

I'm feeling great

There was handshake event for 'Narimiya Deshita'
over the weekend
I met many people
And spoke to many of them

Everyone
For braving the cold
Thank you very much

Then

An invitation from Sakamoto-san
who played the role of Teru in DROP

To watch a Keaton live

Everyone's character were deep and surreal
It was an interesting live

Meeting Sakamoto-san and Oniyakko-san backstage
It's been a while


Then yesterday

At an event called WHISKY LOVERS AWARD
I received an award

From now on to match the whisky
I'll be an adult
I did win it but

Actually to be that sort of adult
If I can be one


I'll be glad

Thank you very much

This has been Narimiya.

Narimiya Hiroki "does his best" for Her

On the 5th, actor Narimiya Hiroki (27) attended a handshake event at Ginza's Fukuya store for the launch of his new photobook, 'Narimiya Deshita' (Wani Books, 1470 yen).

It is a compilation of his Ameba blog entries from November 2008 to June 2009. Many private photos which were not published previously are also packed in this photobook. They show Narimiya smartly dressed, and in casual clothes. "I think it's a good display of daily life," he said with a beaming face.

Before blogging, Narimiya was not comfortable exchanging mails. Even with the ladies? "That's different!" he quickly retorted when he heard the comment, "I work hard at that," he replied without hesitating, inducing laughter from the reporters.

Narimiya Deshita

Good evening

Today's report!

At last!

At last!!


It's complete

Jyan!!!


"Narimiya Deshita"

Somehow having my own book in my hand
Is somewhat moving

Browsing through it

Hmm

It's good!

Actually it brings back memories!!

The crude sentences I wrote for the blog
To be in a book
I didn't think it was possible [laugh]

But then
I'm glad

Ginza on the 5th
Nagoya on the 6th
Fukuoka on the 12th

I'll see everyone
At the handshake events

To those who have this book
What do you think about it?

I'd like to know

Your messages
I'll read them bit by bit

Thank you

This has been Narimiya.

Make it Warm

It's December already!!

Without realizing it, winter is here

Arriving at my destination today
The moment I got off the car

"Cold"

The body which is used to warmth
Remembers the coldness of winter

The whole town is full of illumination too
It's sparkling

Myself... this year somehow
Kinda lonesome
Feels that way

Now, while writing this blog in my room
I'm complaining to everyone [laugh]

Yesterday there was phototaking for a new tuxedo

It's quite difficult to understand the photo

This, in actual fact is a snake pattern

The tuxedo is glittering like a mackerel
Will it be a snake next? [laugh]

What do you think?

It's cold now
It'll probably be even colder tomorrow at filming location

I wonder if I'll be alright

Everyone, don't catch a cold!

This weekend will be the handshake event,

Do come
to warm up the atmosphere


Well then

This has been Narimiya.

With Wonderful People

Good evening

Yesterday
Took photos for the poster of
'Bloody Monday'

Entering the studio for make-up

Ja...ja...jan ♪

The dearly missed theme song of Bloody Monday
was playing

It really is Bloody Monday!!

It's a good atmosphere
Which is exciting ↑↑

This time
The visuals will be more elaborate

After that
I met up with
screenwriter Kitagawa Eriko


I first got to know her from Orange Days
That was quite a while back

It's been quite a while since I last saw her
It's good to see her healthy
She's pretty

Now
In the home of Bloody Monday's original writer
Drinking wine

The wine tastes delicious and very precious
It goes down smoothly
The writer is giving us a treat

He's generous

While enjoying the wine
There was also quite a serious discussion
about J's character

I received a novel as a souvenir

'Bit Trader'

I've heard about this
Seems quite interesting

It's been an enjoyable day

This has been Narimiya.

Once again

Filming is over
And I'm on my way home

I've been staying up till late these days
Somehow I still feel quite good!

So

The ban is lifted

The revival of 'Bloody Monday'

There's actually been talk about this
Since half a year back
I really like the role that I play
And the original work is one of my favourites

Once again
I look forward to playing that character

I'm grateful to everyone
Who worked for the return of this series

I'll make sure that J is powered up
When he makes his appearance in 2010

Please look forward to it

Well then

This has been Narimiya.

An adidas parka which I bought from Germany
With an enamel of the adidas mark


Well then

This has been Narimiya.

What type of day will it be today?

Hello

I've safely returned home

This time, I travelled to...

Ta-dah

Ger... Ger... Germany

Is it surprising?

Today is the first day of filming
for a new drama

Because of my involvement in this drama
My off days were shortened...

It's alright
As I enjoyed it

It's been a while since we met
Eh? We've seen one another recently?
Those kind of comments were overheard

It's a totally mature cast
Quite nerve-wrecking

My role this time
A wealthy man
Which means, my clothes too will be rich [laugh]

So
I'm thinking what kind of day it'll be today

The first episode of News Sokuho wa Nagareta airs today

It's okay if you can't watch it live
There are repeat broadcasts

Asking everyone to watch
This entry has become one for advertising

This has been Narimiya.

Departure

Good morning

I have a week off
I'm going overseas for a trip

Where am I going?
I'll let you know once I return

This blog will also be taking a rest
Don't worry ne

Well then
Off I go

This has been Narimiya.

Narimiya Hiroki lights up the Banana Republic Wreath

Actor Narimiya Hiroki (27) attended the Christmas Wreath (Happy Wreath) light-up ceremony at Banana Republic's Roppongi boutique.

Regarding last year's Christmas, Narimiya said," I really like Morisanchu's Kurosawa-san, and it was really the best present when she turned up for a TV program just to sing a song for me. As a return favour, I gave her a pair of lovely panties with a checked and strawberry design as a present." When asked about the size, he revealed, "XL. That size would fit on Kurosawa-san's cute figure."

Narimiya lit up Japan's biggest wreath which has a diameter of 3 meters. The 'Happy Wreath' is high enough so that people can walk under it. There's legend which says that a man and a woman who kiss under a mistletoe will bind together in happiness. "Mistletoes are sold at the flower shop, so you can go in there and kiss anyone," Narimiya said. What about a present for the sweetheart? "In that case, a bra with a mistletoe attached to it."

During the talk 'Raising the Happiness of Women - Full of Style' before the light-up ceremony, Narimiya shared his thoughts, "It's great to have individuality, but overdoing it might have you end up being anxious instead. A style of composed elegance is good." The wreath will be on display until 25 December, lit up from 5 - 11pm.

Girl Power

Good evening

Yesterday I was at Jissen Women's University
Today it's Showa and Keisen Women's University
I attended their school festivals

All three, full of girl power
I was a little bit overwhelmed

Today travelling between Showa and Keisen
The was a road congestion
And at times it got noisy

Sleeping in the car
I'm abruptly woken up

"Change of clothes, please!"
"Please set the hair!"

Like that [laugh]

Me, who was rushed around


Am now at the gym

This has been Narimiya.

In the afternoon

Photography for the photobook "Narimiya Deshita."

This is the last shot for the photography session

All photographs have been taken

Until its release, the production is entrusted to the staff

Then I had a talk

At the campus festival of Ferris College for Women


A snapshot!

The female college students
They are cute, and everyone dresses well

It's been a while since I was in front of so many people
I felt kind of awkward [laugh]

But because everyone came
I had fun as well

Then
Happy Halloween!!

Work is over
And tomorrow's work is not taxing... that's what I heard
I quickly ran off to buy a costume

Now
I'm off to a friend's house for a Halloween Party


Enjoy the night everyone ♪

This has been Narimiya.

Nostalgic 2 Shots

There was no drama filming yesterday

From morning
It was photography for the Christmas edition of MEN'S Voi

The apparel were perfect for winter

It's been really cold recently

After that
On Ousama no Brunch
PR for Narimiya Roll


The evolution of the Narimiya Roll

There's a limited edition of chestnut rolls for autumn and winter only

As Mont Blanc is one of my favourite foods,
chestnut as an ingredient ranks high on the list

Please have
the Narimiya Roll chestnut version

Then
In the office of Shinagawa-san's manager
Chinese food


For nourishment and health
I often use traditional Chinese medicine
Turtle soup was really great

Sichuan style is the best
Bean curd with roe

It's been a while since I met Shinagawa-san

Seems like a nostalgic photo


Right?

It was a fun evening

Let's go drinking again

This has been Narimiya.
