Jun will have a new drama soon this April entitled "Smile"! And this time he's playing as a Half-Fil, Half-Jap person, whose Filipino father died due to some reason. He's currently living with his Japanese mother.
Wow. This fact made me sooo excited. Could this be it? Jun, another Arashi member after Aiba, going to the Philippines to shoot for the drama?! OMG. If they would, then I would surely travel wherever the shoot is going to be (or be in the airport to wait for Jun-sama's arrival, hehe) *stops daydreaming*:D
But of course, not all Filipino fans are happy about this fact, taking things seriously. Most Filipinos are afraid of being stereotyped. They develop this sense of unity and pride as a Filipino. Thinking about things like: Are they going to show the bad things about being a Filipino (like being a DH, a prostitute or a third world country person) or what? Grabe naman. Audiences are not stupid, so I hope not.
Oh well, it can't be helped. We have different stands regarding this issue. Basta I want Jun here naaaa! Hahaha.
Anyway, "Smile" will air on April, every Friday 10pm. :)
Jun cosplaying as a nurse
Note: He was introduced by Ogura-san here as a nurse from a third world country in Southeast Asia who went to Japan in search for a job. I immediately thought of the Philippines. *sigh*
Ja, mata ne Matsumoto Jun-sama! :D

You have to see the humor-, a Filipino stereotyping Filipinos about how they dont like being stereotyped. hehe :)
Actually, I'm surprised at the reaction this Drama is receiving already, tons of Pinoy bloggers highly defensive about anything negative being said - another person mentioned how Pinoys cant stand being discriminated against (even when its in another country). As a 2yr foreign visitor of the RP, I find that highly ironic.
