#Kohei Murakami

[cough-droplet]

Brought to you by me procrastinating on fansubbing and roping Flame into it, here's Kohei Murakami and Toshiki Inoue sharing lore on the Kusaka Smile™

(We subbed this specifically for the one really funny thing Inoue says in the middle of this)

[cynicalruins]

So a while ago I got this mysterious Kohei Murakami DVD from 2004 second hand for cheap, couldn't find any info on it but I think it's a specific genre of DVD? Not very knowledgeable on the ikemen market.... Bought it anyways bc I like mr Murakami very much and I just had to find out wtf he was gonna be doing for 50 mins

it came with a small photo booklet, and since I'm obsessed with scanning everything i own for posterity, here it is below

and here's the other side of the cover, which i have to admit jumpscared me a bit since I wasn't expecting to open the case and find him staring right at me

As for the contents of the DVD itself? It was essentially segments of him doing fuckall (sexily) for about 2 mins, interrupted by brief intermissions where he does a comedy duo sketch with himself in a different outfit, and a few angsty music videos sprinkled in (unfortunately, they did not let him sing)

Highlights include:

him holding a showerhead like a phone (epic faiz reference)

FORZA MILAN

and him holding a toy raygun to his head

in conclusion: it was fun and bizarre, felt both 100% genuine and like a parody of itself, I now understand even more why he's best friends with Toshiki Inoue

and uhh I guess if anyone really wants to see the video itself and can't find a copy i can try ripping it? Feel free to send me a message or smth

I don't know what I went crazier over, getting to see my boy in a new-ish toku show or seeing Inoue hand out an award for writing

Find someone who loves you as much as Kohei Murakami loves Toshiki Inoue & vice versa

love wins

Some highlights from the Murakami/Inoue talk show!

They had bath salts as part of the merch which are whiskey (inoue) and sake (murakami) scented (yes I bought them). Inoue asked who bought them and then immediately called us all weirdos.

The hosts at the beginning were really funny. One of them kept going on about how cute Sonoi is, he was absolute his biggest fan.

They also found one of the bromide sets very amusing (I didn't buy it sorry, have a blurry picture instead) and commented that it looks like Murakami and Inoue were all lovey-dovey

The venue had both tea and a whole bottle of what I believe was whisky set up on the table for Inoue and Murakami to drink

Once the two are on stage not even a minute passes before Inoue says he wants a glass and both the host and Murakami were like "already???"

This was actually only Inoue's second time doing something like this in Osaka, cuz he actually doesn't like Osaka that much. Apparently he still associates it with all the Yakuza activity that used to happen there. He mentioned being willing to go more often now though.

They talked about all the merch for a while, Murakami was super excited for everything. At one point they were opening the standees and Inoue asked what you even do with them, to which the host and Murakami said "you can bring them around with you and take pictures" to which Inoue replied "Oh cute."

On a side note I didn't realize that Inoue's voice was so deep.

During the merch talk Murakami mentioned that he really wanted them to have pictures taken in aprons and the crowd went wild, then the host and Murakami were like "okay maybe next time."

Apparently the filming for the Faiz anniversary movie was only done in 10 days.

Inoue hasn't seen a lot of his own movies lol??? He still hasn't actually watched the Faiz 20th movie because on the day they showed it he went to an izakaya with some other folks instead. He also hasn't seen the new Donbros vs Kingohger movie so Murakami had to fill him in.

Murakami was in charge of pouring Inoue's drinks and would taste test them all himself before giving the glass back to Inoue which I found amusing.

They did a fun audience participation thing were groups of five people would go up, say a Kaixa quote and then do his henshin and Inoue would choose his favorite. Before they did that though Murakamai would ask if they had anything they wanted to say to Inoue and a lot of the guys my age were like "thank you for raising me" and I think that's so real.

Some questions from the audience that I thought were fun:

One asked about one of Inoue's recipes (I didn't catch if it was the chicken one or not).

Someone asked if Inoue thought Kaixa would become as popular as he is now, and he said "Yeah of course."

Then one asked what Murakami would do if their roles were reversed (Inoue liked this question) and Murakami said he'd have Inoue fetch him drinks and polish his shoes (to which Inoue said that was a kind of a boring answer).

The last question, which unfortunately I didn't fully understand, was someone asking about Inoue kissing someone which I assume is Murakami, but they did drop some other names in there so take this with a grain of salt. All I know for sure is that a kiss did happen apparently and Murakami was playing up being flustered about it.

and lastly I got a picture with them!

Overall, very fun! Good language practice for me as well haha.

zyuohger formed me as a human being So Much but if you were to ask me what went on in the series i would not be able to remember a single thing

[eclipse-song]

Have you been seeing the weekly tweets from Murakami whenever a new Donbrothers episode comes out?

yes and they have lead me entirely to the belief that the nature of Inoue and Murakami's relationship is only comparable to that of an ancient Greek artist and his muse

The RH Plus finale was super dramatic but Ageha's shirt was really distracting.
