Hello,

I just joined today.  As a relatively new fan for Hiroyuki Sanada, I
thought to try this group.  This grouped was linked by another
nonYahoo format group which I did not know how to interface with.

I was curious about Sanada's martial arts training.  It's obvious that
he has great technique as depicted in The Last Samurai.  Does he study
sword art?  Does he carry his own line of sword or bokken?

Or perhaps does he study Karate?  others?

kind regards,
Eric in frozen Alaska

Subject: [sanada_fans] Sanada's biography

Hi Members,

 

I'm one of Sanada fans out there.  Just noticed that biographies of Hiroyuki do not include the number of his siblings or substantial detail about his parents.  Also, how's his relationship with his two sons? Would you guys know?

 

Thanks a lot. :)

 

 

 

Yup, you are absolutely right, Lyn.  I meant 2 months...

I am into astrology and a while back found a site listing famous people
but no Sanada-san. *Gasp*
I submitted his info and it's just been approved and added.
You can read his personality profile and even put in your own birth
data to see how well you match up with him.
A word of caution though... because we don't have an accurate birth
time (does anyone know if the time is listed on Hong Kong birth
certificates?) they used noon. This, or using midnight, is standard.
Using noon gives him a Cancer Ascendant, but using midnight it changes
to Leo. Leo, being the sign of acting, makes more sense to me but we
can't pin it down without the actual time.
So, if your synergy report says he would not fall madly in love with
you, don't give up hope. <grin>

In the US, "Speed Racer" opened today!  I went to watch it, and wrote
a brief review here.

Wow! Thanks a lot! I have searched through Sanada's filmography's and
I thought that that might have been the movie. It's available online
for 37 US! That's expensive but it's worth it I guess, even though
there is no English subtitles! Thank you again!

It's Shinjuku no Same ^^ Hope that helps! (WHOA....Hiro san almost got
raped in that movie~~)

I was recently browsing utube for Sanada videos and I stumbled across
a very steamy shot from a movie. I don't know what the movie was.
There was no English to it at all. In the film, poor Sanada is tied to
a poll and this other guy is getting his gollies off of him, if you
know what I mean. ( I don't want to offend anyone by coming right out
and saying what was happening.) The guy cuts him with a box cutter.
Does anyone have any idea what this movie is? If I need to go into
greater detail, I will but it's male on male action and I don't want
to gross anyone out. The title on the nine min long clip is in
Japanese and I have no idea what it says. Again, I'm just trying to
figure out what movie this is.

I just wanted to say hiya! And tell y'all a few things about myself.
I'm a 30something female...slightly off kilter...artist and
craftsperson (whatever THAT means!) with a deep adoration and
admiration for Sanadasan...probably a little TOO deep, but what can ya
do.
Been a fan for many years, and have loved watching him mature and grow
in the worlds eye....

....and I think he's gorgeous! LOL!

I'm terribly chatty and open so feel free to contact me to say hi!

Hi,
I just saw The leyend f the eight samurai I bought in DVD...and it was cool. It
reminds me
in a way to "The neverending story", and that kind of films made with adorable
(and now
old fashioned) sci-fi effects. In fact I was too young to appreciate that in
that moment, but
now, I am really enjoying. I really love that kind of films.

In the dvd I have just bought, I could see also the trailers of some other
fantastic samurai
films, and maybe I will go for a walk again in Amazon. Even if it wouldn´t be
Sanada san
in them, of course it will be worth looking at them.

But if Sanada san is in the films, much better: my eyes are blinking everytime I
see him.
Oh, late teen feelings about Sanada san!!!

I would feel very strange if I know there is a group of people with a forum to
talk about
me...Poor Sanada :(

  My Favorite Hiroyuki film is Ninja Wars
He Looks Beautimous.

A tardy welcome to Texas Sweetheart, om3japan and StarFire!

And, yes, om3japan, not much happens on this board these days. I'm not
the original moderator but I'm filling in as best I can.

I hope that each of you has visited both these sites:
http://sanadahiroyuki.com/home.htm (SHIN)
http://www.hiroyukisanada.com/

SHIN is an active place and you will enjoy the other fans.

Hope to see each of you there!

Yes, Sanada san did his own acting and speaking in "The Promise."  Originally, I believe they'd considered dubbing his voice, with a native speaker, but he was able to learn the language sufficiently to be able to do it himself, so that is his voice, and not anyone else's.  I love his voice, and prefer watching his movies with him speaking, rather than voice-overs by other actors.  I can always read the subtitles :-).

clear, and I get use to listen to him talking in Japanese...Any clue?

Hello,
I feel quite strange because it is the first time in my life that I join a group like this one.The
fact is that in the last weeks I am feeling a very strong attraction to Sanada san. This is
nothing new: from time to time I have weird and dreamy fevers regarding actors or any kind
of cellebrity, but never in my life has it been so strong. So, while I am collecting any picture
from him that I find in internet, I thought, "why don´t become a member of one group
talking about Sanada san"? Maybe I will be able to sight with some other people while I keep
on dreaming on him. I even did a kind of videoclip (in my mind) with his and myself as
puppets (more cheaper than having him but not so satisfactory).
Anyway, I wouldn´t like to be a celebrity. I wouldn´t like the responsability of all those sights
and dreams because of me, so from now on, Me -Denki Girl- exents Sanada san for any
responsabilities for anything that could happen to this daydreamer when I think of him
during the day, and also for my lack of concentration at work (when I start imagining the
videoclip) or for being unable to sleep at night because my more that 200 pictures of him
taken from internet are doing a slideshow in my brain.

So, Sanada san, thank you for helping me to keep on dreaming. My dreams are the best of
me. Honto ni, arigatou gozaimasu.
From now, you are in my personal podium of virtual loves lived with virtual intensity. By the
way, leave your hair longer...Mmmmmmm.

I am quite new here. I think Sanada is the best actor and everything
else and it was great to see the message from him to his fans (us).

It seems that this is quite a quiet group at the moment but I would
love to chat to other fans, anyone interested?
