Okay, I'm excited. Got a problem?
In the morning, I went back to 2008 to read about 龍馬伝 (thank you google news archive!). Rumour times!
1. The first names that appeared when they announced it are Oda Yuji and Kimura Takura. Gossip sites livedoor said not to mention Kimura's name in front of Oda Yuji and when Oda Yuji's name was mentioned in front of KimuTaku, his face will turn sullen. Gossip source from NHK said No Thank You! We learned our lesson when one smap guy is in the lead and we cannot counter to the demand of Oda Yuji's staffs.
Okay, I love it! PS: That also explains why Oda Yuji did not appear in the Smap's Fujitv 50th Anniversary Program.
2. Nagasaki started its campaign to bring the taiga there even before Masha's announcement. Methinks he probably heard the campaign was successful, thus, his acceptance of the offer. Either that, or he throws a tantrum: Go to Nagasaki or I'll say NO! :p~~
3. The first rumour about Masha in taiga drama appeared late October, as per toey's post in lj. During that time, everyone was so confirmed it was KimuTaku's role due to his connection with Fukuda Yasushi.

The last Ryoma taiga, which was in 1968, recorded an average of 14.5% in Kanto region. OUCH!!!! Second lowest in 49 years of NHK Taiga history. So, NHK is taking no chances. They're bringing Fukuda Yasushi. I think that kinda explain why Fukuda seems to have power over casting.
