hmm... I wonder if this may be referring to TB being turned into TV drama series?

Back a few years ago, I was reading a Hong Kong magazine called A-Club (not sure what happened to it now - seems like it has stopped printing!), and I remember reading a short piece about a Japanese TV station wanting to turn Tokyo Babylon into a TV series. I can't really remember the details of the article, but I do remember the writer commenting that the actor who is going to play Subaru is too old. Subaru was still 16 in TB, but the actor is in his 20s! (In fact, I remember thinking the actor looks nothing like our beloved Subaru-kun - HE'S TOO FAT!! Can't remember what his name is though...)

I never found out whether or not the plans for the TV series were carried through, but wouldn't it be interesting? Imagine: during prime-time television, we see Sei-chan hugging Subaru-kun and carrying him off to bed... *snickers*

Anyhow, sorry I can't be of much help -.-;;
