Preview Screening

Good evening!!

There was a preview for Buzzer Beat today (^O^)

It was also my first time watching it. When asked for my impression, I said that it really felt like a Getsu 9 drama (>_<)

It's glittering ↑ [laugh]

I think it's a fitting youth love story for this summer o(^-^)o

My role is the one from the bottom of the rung!

Perhaps there's something cunning about his character?

I want everyone to quickly watch it too (*^o^*)

Look forward to it on Monday!

Rainy season ↓

Good evening! !

Today too, I was filming for Buzzer Beat (^O^)

Today was kinda humid ne? When will this rainy season pass?

Since when did I dislike the rain so much?

It's part of the lyrics from HY's 'Suteki na Kikkake' (^O^)

It's exactly how I feel right now o(^-^)o

The song is positive and energetic! It's great, so take a listen (*^o^*)

I'll be making an appearance on 'Haneru no Tobira', please watch it (>_<)

I played a bit of basketball ↑↑

~

Disappointment ↓

Good evening!!

I was horrible at the Drama Festival ↓

I was hopeless during free throw despite being in a basketball drama (T_T)

I wonder if the outcome would have been different if I had changed my decision then ↓

I'm seriously annoyed. Very sorry to all the supporters.

Aah~,

I'm gonna be depressed for half a year ↓ [laugh]

It was super fun though (*^o^*)

Buzzer Beat ~Gakeppuchi no Hero~ begins next Monday at 9pm!!

The first episode will be a 90-minute special, yoroshiku (>_<)

Here's a pic of Junpei grinning, right after he squeaked when he had answered incorrectly.

Mistaken identity!

Good evening! !

I took a walk through town as there was some free time after work today (^_^)v

Then 2 ladies about the same age as me asked "You're Okada Masaki-san right?" !!

I said, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

I don't think we have any resemblance ne (^_^)v

Everyone, my name is Mizobata Junpei.

Those who know, know! Those who are unfamiliar with it, remember ne ↑ [laugh] (>_<)

Waiting!

Good evening! !

I'm now in the dressing room waiting for my turn to film Buzzer Beat!

With the free time I try to be a pro cameraman, trying out photo taking with a wind effect (*^o^*)

With expression too↑

Humid

Good evening! !

Today was filming for Buzzer Beat (^_^)v

It was warm and humid today ↓

On location, it was even hotter (>_<)

The photo is me cooling off in the car! [laugh]

I'll do my best for tomorrow's filming (*^o^*)

Speaker!

Good evening! !

I received this iPod speaker as a birthday present from the staff!

I've always wanted this (*^o^*)

Now I'll have this with me when covering events, during make-up sessions and so on!

Recently, I've been listening to SMAP's 'Oretachi ni wa ashita ga aru'!

Listening to SMAP before I leave for work, I feel happy and charged-up (o^∀^o)

Seems like I prefer these kind of songs as I get older.

Ah but I've also been listening to Namie Amuro-san o(^-^)o

Amuro-chan banzai↑ [laugh]

Happy!

Good evening! !

The photo of the cake is wonderful isn't it? (*^o^*)

Today there was a celebration of my 20th birthday at the BOSS filming location!!

I'm really happy to have celebrated my birthday 3 times (>_<)

I was also surprised to receive presents from every cast and staff member!

A memory for a lifetime!

Thank you very much (o^∀^o)

Birthday!

Good evening! !

Everyone, many thanks for all your greetings (*^o^*)

There was a birthday celebration on-location today, and in the evening a birthday party at the office (^_^)v

Manager-san's children were also there, and the 3-year-old one wished me "Happy Birthday". It was great o(^-^)o

Thank you also to the fans who gave me presents! (o^∀^o) I will use them with great care↑

It was an awesome 20th birthday (^_^)v

Thank you to everyone!

From here on onwards, please take care of me too (^_^)v

One more episode

Good evening! !

Today was filming for BOSS as well! Filming for the 10th episode is complete (^_^)v One last episode left. Really fast↓ I guess it's kinda lonesome. Although of different ages and gender, we got on well together, it's a really great team (^O^)

Tomorrow will be crank-in for Buzzer Beat! I'll work hard on the first day (*^o^*)

The photo was taken in the dressing room!

Rainy season?

Good evening! !

The weather hasn't been good lately ↓

Today too, it was raining in Tokyo!

Seems like it's the rainy season already? (;_;)

There's a tense atmosphere when filming BOSS, but I'm still enjoying it! Right now we're filming Episode 9. There are 2 episodes left, thinking about it makes me feel lonesome already (>_<)

The photo is again, of me holding a gun!!

There are very few parts where I carry a gun in the drama ↓

I really like those action scenes (*^o^*)

1st Place!

Good evening! !

BOSS was chosen as this season's favourite drama in a ranking by a magazine (*^o^*)

Yatta ↑↑

It's all thanks to you who are always watching and who have given support!! Thank you very much o(^-^)o

A picture during photography session!!

Toasting with juice, the photography went well. But with serious looks, the photos turned out like a family portraits! [laugh]

Continuation of filming after this! I'll do my best (^O^)

It was hot!

Good evening! !

Tokyo was super hot today!! It was probably about ３０℃ (^_^)v

Recently, I'm always in short sleeves and sandals! Feels like it's summer already (^_^)v Are the students already wearing their summer uniforms? Please give me an answer!

Tomorrow too, it's filming for BOSS!! I'll do my best (*^o^*)

That's me with a basketball in the photo!! Practising by myself at home↑

Summer Drama

Good evening! !

I think many people already know this, but I'll be in a Getsu 9 drama from July onwards, which stars the cool Yamashita Tomohisa-san.

It's a story about management of a basketball club. I've begun practising basketball, today too I'll be heading for practice in the evening after work with the rest of the cast members and coach (^_^)v

It's the first time that I'm learning how to play proper basketball, these practices are really tough but fun. The atmosphere is enjoyable as men's conversations are taking place!! (^O^)

I will provide more information once the details are ironed out.

Tomorrow too, I will work hard for the filming of BOSS!! (*^o^*)

To Everyone

I have read all the comments.

I paid special attention to the severe comments, and take them sincerely.

I'm in a position where I should be repaying the fans' kindness and support for me, but my careless behaviour, as was reported, has instead caused concern. Upon reflecting on the matter, once again, I am truly sorry.

It's been 2 years since I've arrived in Tokyo, and I have been blessed with work. I might have lost sight of what is most important.

There were times when thoughts like "I don't seem to be myself" or "I didn't use to be this way" crept in. I disregarded the advice and attention from my family and the people surrounding me. I gave in to temptation at the expense of my job.

Because of my folly, such events have arisen, and it is now that I fully realize that I had forgotten what is most important to me.

For the warm-hearted fans who might be hurt, the trouble that I have caused to my family and staff and betraying the trust that you have put in me, I am deeply sorry.

I am really grateful for the work that I have right now.

I have reflected on my self-conceit and lack of vigilance, and recalled back the feelings that I had during the time of my debut. I'm taking this experience as an opportunity for self-renewal, and to persevere in my daily work.

To the fans who were worried about me, thank you.

Blog updates will be as usual from tomorrow onwards, I hope you'll come by again o(^-^)o

I'll work hard filming BOSS tomorrow!!

Mei-chan no Shitsuji?

I'll be making a guest appearance on Mei-chan no Shitsuji!!

That's a lie. Sorry ↓ (laugh)

In the last episode of Akai Ito, Atsushi becomes Mei-chan's butler!!

That's a lie as well. Really sorry ↓

It's actually a photography session for Seventeen where I get to put on a butler's uniform (*^o^*)

It's true, this is for Seventeen magazine!! (laugh)

Although it's kind of puzzling, this uniform puts me in high spirits (>_<)

It feels like Mizushima Hiro-kun ↑

Today too, after a long time I had a photography session with Yusuke-kun! I think it's been a year and a half. I'm happy though it's somewhat embarrassing! (laugh)

It was fun (*^o^*)

Well then, from now onwards, I [he used watashi (><)] will be the butler for Seventeen-san ↑ (laugh)

Everyone, tomorrow morning, an important announcement will be made. Without fail, please look forward to it on this blog tomorrow morning! (laugh) (￣∀￣)

Somehow

Cosplay is great ne.

Flying Shoes ↑

Good evening!!

Why are small children so cute? (≧∇≦)

When I had free time at yesterday's filming, I went to the park and took this photo, where the children were playing (^_^)v

The 2 of them were such well-behaved and good children!!

It's been a while since I've been on a swing! I wonder if I'm too heavy for it? ↓(laugh)

In elementary school, I was playing on a swing when my shoes went flying off!!

It hit a senior student, who then hurled them to a faraway ditch. That's a bad memory.

My name Mizobata, was that how it first came about? (laugh)
[Note: mizo = ditch]

Those were my favourite pair of shoes ↓ (weeps)

Having my favourite shoes flying off... ↓ (laugh) (°□°;)

I received the script for the last episode of Akai Ito today !!

What will happen in the end?

Please look forward to it (o^∀^o)

I'll work hard for this evening's filming ↑(*^o^*)

Victory

We did it ↑↑(≧∇≦)

With the Akai Ito team which was united, we were able to bring victory (*^o^*)

To those who supported us from your TVs at home, thank you ↑(o^∀^o)

In the beginning, the baton was dropped, but thankfully we were not affected as we managed a come-from-behind bowling o(^-^)o

The promised strike did not happen ↓

To be able to win, I am really very happy ↑↑(≧∇≦)

Everyone, thank you for your support (o^∀^o)

Drama Festival

Here I am, preparing for the drama festival o(^-^)o

With me in the photo is Taka-chan, Kimura Ryou-kun ↑↑

Today's target is, of course, to win(*^o^*) Personally, I'd like to get strikes for the bowling!!!

Nobody knows what will happen since it's a live broadcast.

Miracles can happen for the Akai Ito team ↑(￣∀￣)

Do hope for it V(^-^)V

With all that I have, I'll do my best. Everyone, please support us (*^o^*)

Happy New Year

Sorry that I am late ↓ (laugh)

Apologies for not updating the blog ↓

Even though it's late,

Happy New Year (o^∀^o)

I've been at home, enjoying the New Year holidays with family and friends o(^-^)o

It's already 2009!! When I was younger, I imagined that by this time it would be possible for flying cars to exist, just like in Back to the Future (￣∀￣)

So it's quite a disappointment ↓ (laugh)

In our lifetime, will flying cars and time machines be made!?!? I would like to get on a time machine and experience time travel at least once before I die (o^∀^o) I'd like to travel back in time, as well as into the future ↑ So that I can see a dinosaur and a terminator (^O^)

Maybe it's the new year foolishness, or just me being dreamy. But, tomorrow there will be a drama festival!!

The Akai Ito team will definitely win o(｀▽´)o

We will not lose to the young ones, or anyone else ↑↑

For the sake of Akai Ito fans, and everyone supporting us, we will win (^0^)

Eh? Winning or losing doesn't matter!?!?

To be included in it, I want to win. Besides, for Hachi-One we were in second place. This time, it's guaranteed!!!!!

I feel nervous, but with everyone's support, I'll do my best (*^o^*)
