Some Dirt

Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo)'s fame in Japan has sent the Japanese media 
to dig up his background, like the 24 year old Gum Sing Mo has an older step 
brother who is 31.  Their mother was an introvert and rarely made contact with 
their neighbors. His old man Mr. Kaneshiro is Japanese and raised eels for a living. 
Later his business failed which made Gum Sing Mo who was studying in American school
quit school. At the age of 14 he began drinking, smoking and riding his motorcycle 
recklessly. Later he saved the money he made from ads to buy his favorite 
motorcycle.  His first love was a blonde, blue-eyed French student. 
Gum Sing Mo had a crush on her and even went to learn French. However he didn't 
succeed in his lessons and the romance also ended.  Whoa, it's so moving it can be 
made into a Japanese series. Perhaps it will get higher rating than the currently
 running "Lord, Please Give Me More Time".
