Japan heartthrob Takuya Kimura seems to be back to his old best with his recent movie and TV drama success.
His latest TV drama Karei-naru Ichizoku started showing in Japan on Jan 14 and tops the rating chart for 2 weeks in a role; while his movie Bushi no Ichibun (pic) is doing well in box-office and is invited to Berlim Film Festival for exhibition too.
Takuya Kimura has been one of the most influential Japanese artists in Asia for the past decade; he faced some career’s mini-crisis for the past couple of years, but it seems that he is winning back his fans again in 2007.
