Okada Masaki Monogatari

Okada Masaki's ever sexy villain Nijimura Keichō became a work of art in his hands I have translated an interview of the 2017 August interview of Okada Masaki for the live-action movie of Jojo. The interview was conducted by Cinema Today on 3 August 2017 . Thanks to Gothavdol for providing me with the article. Enjoy!  ２０１７年８月３日 の岡田将生のジョジョのインタビューを翻訳した。日本語の分は英語の後で。 Okada Masaki speaks of “Jojo”: During my junior high school days, I earnestly wanted to be DIO and Kira  岡田将生が語る「ジョジョ」本気でDIOや吉良になりたかった中学時代 One day in July. “It’s Rohan sensei!” With a volume of the “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures” manga on his hand and a full smile on his face, actor Okada Masaki exclaimed. Yes, Okada, who portrayed a challenging role of Nijimura Keichō in the live-action movie “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures: Diamonds are Unbreakable”, is a big fan of the “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures” manga showbiz. Okada looked back to the first time he received the [live-action] offer, earnestly and pr...

Source: Nikkei Style Below is my translation of a Nikkei Style interview of Okada Masaki for his role as Nijimura Keichō in the 2017 Jojo Bizarre Adventure. I put the English translation first, then the Kanji-kana and followed by the Romaji. I hope you like it. Let me know if I mis-translated anything. ARJ, the book part is for you!  4 August 2017 Okada Masaki’s shyness, personal assurance, and his 20 pairs of glasses Okada Masaki has played a range of roles from live-action teenage heroes to criminals and supra-naturals. What are the most important things that would calm the late 20s “Ikemen actor”? Also, what items would make him feel at home in his hotel room in Spain? 

So I made my first Okada Masaki MV last night! I didn't think I'd finish it so quickly, but I did! I chose Rurutia's 'Hallelujah' as the music, and it's a beautiful arrangement by the very talented singer. The music, however, is full of beats that I have to sync with the clips, hence I thought I would need at least a full day's of work for that. Glad that I finished it in just a few hours. I combined three of Masaki's recent characters that I love: Nijimura Keichō 虹村形兆  (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure live action 2017), Yamada Haruhiko 山田春彦 (Chiisana Kyojin 2017) and Aoki Ikkō 青木一行 (Himitsu: the Top Secret 2016). I thought it would be nice to pit Masaki's characters against each other, in this case Keichō vs the team up of Yamada and Aoki.  I quite like the result. Was thinking of using Masaki's character as Hazama Kurō (the Young Black Jack 2011), but I had no space for him in the MV. Perhaps next time if I can find Seinaru Kaibutsutachi cl...

Okada Masaki's latest character as Nijimura Keichō in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2017), a totally irresistible bastard  I haven't watched Okada Masaki series for a while. The last Okada series that I watched was Legal High 2 (2013) where he was the supporting actor for Aragaki Yui's and Sakai Masato's characters. I wasn't really impressed by Masaki-kun's character in Legal High 2 (too upbeat and cheerful, too one-dimensional), until the last episode that is, when Sakai Masato's character managed to make Masaki's character angry. And it was a very nice explosion, but too limited a use of Masaki's spectrum of talent. Anyway, then about two weeks ago, I found out that Masaki-kun starred against Oguri Shun again in 2017 in Gintama live action as Katsura Kotarō. That finding rebooted my fan-girling of Okada Masaki, thus this post, where I will briefly post videos, photos or GIFs of Masaki-kun in his recent roles since playing as Minamoto no Yor...
