Yeah, I can imagine magazines could be difficult to scan well.
I have a scanner, but no pictures to scan.

Playzone?

It is rather dead here for quite some time lately...
so I at last wanted to write that Higashi got the Japan Movie Critics Award as Best Actor for the movie Yamazakura.

Aw, reminds me I still didn't have time to watch Shigotonin till the end (>.<).

I just read that too~~~. I wonder if it will really work out this time... enough time to try to get used to the fact that Higashi won't be single anymore XD.

Shigotonin's not too bad. Find time for it!

Heh...it's time for him to tie the knot. Hope everything works out for them!

Yeah, I like it... just didn't find time to watch it lately *is back to watching anime for a bit* .

I wanna see little Higashi~~s XDDD

For those who can't get enough of him:

TBS has created a jdorama "GM ~ Odore Doctor", specially for Higashiyama so that he could dance all he wants.

Broadcast
Sundays, 9.00 – 9.54 p.m. from 18 July 2010

Higashi plays a Goto Hideo who wants to be a dancer more than he wants to stay as a doctor. Not just any doctor but an exceptionally talented specialist in General Medicine (how wonderful it is, i am sick of surgical scenes). Fate finds him faster than he could escape when he met an adorable Momoko-chan(i would still prefer her in high school clothes), a houseman, and a bunch of trashy doctors. The rest of the plot is a cliche as usual......cost cutting administrators, powerbrokers against righteous doctors etc etc.

By the way, does anyone know the difference between internal medicine and general medicine?

From Wiki:

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Doctors of Internal Medicine, also known as internists, are sometimes referred to as the "doctor's doctor," because they are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems.

A general practitioner or GP is a medical practitioner who treats acute and chronic illnesses and provides preventive care and health education for all ages and both sexes. They have particular skills in treating people with multiple health issues and comorbidities (the presence of one or more disorders or diseases in addition to a primary disease or disorder, or the effect of such additional disorders or diseases).

I just watched the first episode yesterday... it's like House M.D. went japanese. Still genius and crazy and annoying people... just annoying them with completely different things and dancing around of course XD.
The beginning was really funny, when he was watching the Kamen Butoukai performance and going "I wanted to be like that". It's like saying "You know, I think it rocks being me" (Well I would say it does) XD.

Shame I understand big nothing of doctor talk... (>.<).

....ditto ditto. I don't understand what those medical talk either

OOOps, bmwracer is not helping me either with his wikipedia cut and paste. I saw that too. It didn't help me to understand.

GP not equal to GM, I think GM is already a sub-specialty field which requires post graduate studies. GP is a family physician.

Did you read the article on what an Internist is?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_medicine

Although internists may act as primary care physicians, they are not "family physicians," "family practitioners," or "general practitioners," whose training is not solely concentrated on adults and may include surgery, obstetrics and pediatrics.

Tanjobi omedeto to Kuitan!

Couple days late, but:
