[anime] Special A – Ep4-12

While I was watching one episode of Vampire Knight I got bored of it by the seriousness of it. And in such a early morning like 4am (don’t ask me why am I awake this early) I would want to watch something which is relaxing and light hearted. So I switch to watching Special A. This anime is getting better and better at least I’m enjoying it a lot especially in ep11 & 12. Finally Kei is revealing more of his love to Hikari, but Hikari is just so thickheaded that she doesn’t even realise anything at all. No wonder Hikari’s parents was like saying she’s slow.

[PV] w-inds. TOKYO

w-inds. newest PV TOKYO has just released, TOKYO is track 4 in their upcoming album Seventh Ave. I personally think this song is really nice. The first time you listen to it you might think it’s kind of slow pace and nothing really special about it. But when I start listening to it the second and third time I start to really like it.

This PV might has no meaning or not understand for some people who watch it the first time because I was like that too. But when I watch the second and third time of it I start to understand it, I think this PV is trying to portray the life style of Tokyo. First we have the family problem within that high school girl then she ran away from home, the guy who is working hard earning money from street performing and the love problem of the hair salon girl. Any type of people will have their own problems but the main point is to think positive and have hopes. I think that’s the message they want to send to the audience.

[jdrama] Last Friends – Ep3-11 End

Can’t believe I spent 3 days and I’m done with this drama. I haven’t been into a jdrama like this for awhile, I think the last one I felt like this was Galileo. Anyways, so happy and sad that I’m done with this drama because it’s another drama off my watching list.

I felt that they haven’t explain some of the parts clearly or as detail such as why Sosuke has this DV illness? Also they didn’t talk much about Takeru’s problem with his sister, he just briefly talked about it in episode 11 to Ruka and didn’t take it any deeper. I thought it would be nice to talk about it more deeply about others other than Ruka, although Ruka is the main focus of the whole story.

If you think about it Sosuke is pretty sad and lonely, look how much time he have to stalk Michiru and to even call her every 2 hours. I believe that he does love Michiru a lot but the way the use was wrong, at the end he finally realise it so he suicide. About Michiru’s feelings towards Takeru I don’t think Muchiru really likes Takeru she probably mistaken because Takeru treats her really nicely and she was feeling lonely as Ruka seem like avoiding her and she finally broke up with Sosuke.

From the whole drama my favorite character is Ruka, she’s like suffering a lot as she loves Michiru for so many years but had to stay as just friends between them. She always hide her true feelings from the others by putting a happy face so that they won’t worry about her. The last episode was kind of boring and a little bit of a drag but it was a good ending. The three of them living together again along with the new born baby.

[jdrama] Last Friends – Ep1-2

So when people just finished watching Last Friends and has done so many reviews of it I have just started watching this series. I didn’t expect this one to be that good as I was just practically looking at the ratings and during this period of time I wasn’t interested in jdrama too much so I just ignored it. But as I see the rating increasing and much more positive comments from other blogs I decide to watch this as well.

[jmusic] M-ist – 勇気は時を超える

Randomly found this trio band called M-ist while on youtube. I don’t know I always get interested in little cute boys in band, such as before where I got so into DASH!! and this street dance group PrizmaX.

So this group is made up of 3 little boys which are: 武田聖夜 (13), 島田翼 (12) and 田中理来 (11). I remember 島田翼 is part of the street dance group called Prizmax+jr and I used to watch their street performances through a website. The other two 武田聖夜 & 田中理来 is under vision factory (same company as w-inds.) but not sure if they still are. They are also in a TV show called “天才てれびくんMAX” it’s hosted by kids and in their show I think they talk about kiddy things.

w-inds. Seventh Ave. Photo Shooting

Time for being a w-inds. fangirl again.
This video features w-inds. photo shooting for their upcoming album “Seventh Ave.” And that’s where they had their cover taken from.

Japan sure is a nice place, they can just walk around on the street normally without a big crowd. And then I think about what it’s like in other Asian countries such as Hong Kong, Taiwan etc. they would be surrounded by fans and wouldn’t be able to do anything.

I like how they just walk around and the photographer just take photos, it’s very natural like that.

They played two of the new songs from the album but I don’t know what it is called. But both of these songs sound really nice just by listening a bit from the video (I like the first song played in the video more). This album is definitely one of the albums that I’m looking forward to, somehow w-inds. album never disappoints me (at least it never been really bad for me).

[jdrama] Gokusen 3 – Ep03-05

Haven’t been watching my jdramas much recently, watching too much American dramas in the mean time. So I’m back to posting more of Gokusen 3 which left off at episode 2. The more I watch Gokusen the more it doesn’t interest me much anymore, too predictable and the story is so similar to season 1 & 2. If the story fails to interest me then it would goes to the guys but I don’t especially like any of the guys. But I don’t like leaving things un-finish so I’ll continue it and watch it as something for relaxing.

[jmovie] Heat Island

Finally watched this movie, somehow I was so excited to see this movie when it was first announced probably because of the two AAA members Urata Naoya and Ito Chiaki (but I’m a big fan of Nissy). Anyways the storyline seem pretty interesting when I first read about it.

The story is about a street gangster named Aki who runs around Shibuya placing bets and causing trouble. He accidentally stumbles across a bag that contains 30,000,000 yen that was in the hands of of a petty Kasai crime group. However, that money was actually taken from an illegal casino operated by the Yakuza, which was stolen from a rich mogul, and is now looking to be taken by a terrorist group. Now all four groups are after Aki, his gang, and the money.

The first half of the movie was alright with a intro of everyone and how they got the money. When I was watching it I can’t help but to think of Koike Teppei whenever I look at Ryo Kimura, he reminds me of Teppei. The most interesting part of the movie was towards the end how Aki and his gang planned in destroying the groups who are chasing after them. Their plan was perfect but they forgot about one person Youko, where the money was kept. So at the end Momoi and Kakizawa unexpectedly ended up with the money and decided to let Aki join their team (thats what I think since at the end they were walking together and the guys throw him a pair of shoe since he wore thongs the whole time).

[jmusic] The Loose Dog – 雨のち虹色

This is my first time hearing this band “The Loose Dog” I just randomly found out about them from their latest PV. Basically I was looking at news on Aiba Hiroki and found out that he filmed a PV for The Loose Dog’s latest single Ame Nochi Niji iro (I think that’s the romaji of it, as I used a translator online).

This single was released on the 4th June which is recently and it’s also a ending song for the anime Major. Looking at their official website this band debuted long time ago around 2003. The song Ame Nochi Niji iro sounds pretty good the first time I listen to it and I actually like their vocals.

The two main character in this PV is Teramoto Manami and Aiba Hiroki. The story of the PV is pretty nice although it’s not something really sad, dramatic or meaningful but at least there was a storyline.
So practically the story is about Aiba Hiroki is a dancer and because of a car accident he hurt his leg and you know how legs is important to a dancer. He became depressed and giving up but his girlfriend Teramoto Manami comes to cheer him up and support. Slowly his leg recovers and he was able to enter the audition. But I don’t understand at the end whether he got chosen or not, as Manami just smiled after Aiba said something.

[manga] Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend)

Zettai Kareshi also known as Absolute Boyfriend. I know there is a live drama broadcasting this season and I was pretty interested in watching the drama but I just didn’t have enough bandwidth and time to watch it. While I was bored and had nothing to do in class I started reading the manga online and was kind of addicted to it and read like 10 chapters at once and now I’m up to chapter 22.

Although Night is a figure but while you’re reading it you would often forget about that he’s not human as there’s not big difference applied. So in my mind from time to time I would think of this as a 2 guys and 1 girl manga type like Hot Gimmick.

I’m almost finishing the manga but I really have the urge to skip to the end and see who Riiko will end up with, Night or Soshi? I have a feeling that Riiko likes Night more but what confused her feelings is that Night is actually a figure and not a real human although he’s like 99% human like. And her feelings were more confused when Soshi confessed to her when they have been friends ever since they were young. But I believe that Riiko have feelings for Soshi ever since she was young just that Soshi never treated her nicely which makes her think Soshi dislike her.

Anyways please don’t spoil the ending for me I want to read what will happen and who she will end up with, maybe no one. Also I would like to watch the drama because often there will be a huge different with the manga.
