夜王 （やおう） / Yaoh
[official site] [wiki] [d/l torrents] [softsubs]
I've problem accepting the ideals in Yaoh because it's just BIG PLAIN LIE. Nevertheless I still find the drama pretty interesting. In fact, I did an ep1-10 marathon for this. Yet waiting for ep 11's subtitle though.
The premise is all about host life. And it's depicting this dark world with two conflicting eyes, an eye for the usual negative perception, and another for a positive one, which was put to Ryosuke's shoulder to prove it. There's no way I'll approve of the positive ideal. Call me discriminating and all, but I hold the same initial perception of Karina's character that HOST IS HOST. They're the worst, playing and lying with woman's heart. However in this drama, Ryosuke is a character which is being appealed as a righteous host, who'll strive to make women's happy. How cheesy that is? In this drama, it looks at another side of being a host that the job is actually a 'supposedly' good job -- to give woman a chance to dream and make them happy. Although I'm not buying into this, and I believe that is also the case for many women's out there, I still follow the drama because it kept me wanting for the next episode.. for what reason I'm not sure. It's not a really GREAT drama but it's not BAD either. At least we can try looking how they made Hosts' job a dignified job? lol..

Liar Game
I know I've been praising Proposal Daisakusen non-stop lately that I was neglecting talking about Liar Game. Whatever you might think of me, this is still one of my favourite drama. Will update later on Liar Game when I've free times. Going to be my thought on episode... humm.. 5 to 9 ! XD
sorry Liar Game, I've not been giving you the attention you deserves.

二人の涙雨
Futari no namida-ame
Our rain of tears*
明りさざめく街で 歩幅を合わせる様に
肩を寄せる恋人たちを眺めながら
知らず知らずのうちに 一人で先を急いだ
僕を一言も責めずに目を伏せたキミ
Akari sazameku machi de Hohaba wo awaseru youni
Kata wo yoseru koibito-tachi wo nagame nagara
Shirazu shirazu no uchi ni Hitori de saki wo isoida
Boku wo hitokoto mo semezu ni me wo fuseta kimi
While I gaze at the lovers who walk with their shoulders brushing together
So that their steps match each others' in a brightly street
Unwittingly, I've already moved further away from you by myself
And without saying a word to criticise me, you hid your eyes
重ねた温もりに 少し甘えすぎて
キミの孤独気づきもしないで
Kasaneta nukumori ni Sukoshi amae sugite
Kimi no kodoku kitzuki mo shinai de
I kept depending too much upon the increasing warmth
That I didn't even realise your loneliness
空からは涙雨 悲しみが連なって
もうこれ以上歩けないと キミが心を濡らす様に...
Sora kara wa namida-ame Kanashimi ga tsuranatte
Mou kore ijou arukenai to Kimi ga kokoro wo nurasu youni...
From the skies, it's a rain of tears; the sorrow just keeps on increasing
As if your heart is dipped within it; You say "I can't keep going anymore"
雨をはらうフリして 横目でキミを見ていた
不意に背中を向けられる そんな気がして
どんな時でも側で 笑っていたけなげさに
いつも背を向けていたのは僕だったのに
Ame wo harau furishite Yokome de kimi wo miteita
Fui ni senaka wo mukerareru Sonna ki ga shite
Donna toki demo soba de Waratteita nagesa ni
Itsumo se wo muketita no wa boku datta no ni
I pretend to wipe the rain away [from my eyes] and looked at you with a side glance
I felt as if you were abruptly turning your back on me
No matter when it was, you were always by my side, laughing in a praiseworthy manner
And it was always me who turned my back on you
キミの手をつかんで 強く抱き寄せても
きっと心には触れられない
Kimi no te wo tsukan de Tsuyoku dakiyosete mo
Kitto kokoro ni wa furerarenai
Even if I grab your hand and hold you tight
I'll certainly be unable to reach your heart
空からは涙雨 後悔が連なって
抑えきれず溢れ出した 僕の弱さを隠す様に...
Sora kara wa namida-ame Koukai ga tsuranatte
Osaekirezu afuredashita Boku no yowasa wo kakusu youni...
From the skies, it's a rain of tears; the feeling of regret just keeps on increasing
Just like the tears that I can't suppress, and they overflow; it's as if the rain hides my weakness
空からは涙雨 悲しみが連なって
もうこれ以上歩けないと キミが呟く
空からは涙雨 二人の心模様
もう過去には戻れないと そっとさよなら告げるように...
Sora kara wa namida-ame Kanashimi ga tsuranatte
Mou kore ijou arukenai to Kimi ga tsubuyaku
Sora kara wa namida-ame Futari no kokoro moyou
Mou kako ni wa modorenai to Sotto sayonara tsugeru youni...
From the skies, it's a rain of tears; the sorrow just keeps on increasing
"I can't keep going anymore" you murmur
From the skies, it's a rain of tears; just like our hearts
We can no longer return to the past; it's as if the rain is saying a soft goodbye...
Notes
* Namida ame actually translates to 'a light rain' or 'rain falling at a time of sadness'. A rain of tears seemed to sound better with this song though.

プロポーズ大作戦 9 / Proposal Daisakusen 9
I must say that Proposal Daisakusen might as well be my most favourite drama this season. I loved liar game, but there's not enough word how to describe my growing love for Proposal Daisakusen. Earlier when the season just started, I thought that Liar Game would be my 1st for this season, but who thought that ProDai is this good? I can really relate to Ken. I'm those person who'll try to find the right moment and location, I'm those person who'll keep waiting because I believe there's still time left, I'm those person who can't really express my feeling, I'm those...... I don't need to say more... I'm just Iwase Ken. Although I don't know if I'll be able to have Ken's courage when being presented with second chance.
On to my thought on ep 9. Warning: Spoiler
"Try. There's nothing to lose"
"Though you fail, it's expected. But succeeding it you'll become more a man"
Yes, there's nothing to lose. Maybe losing face one can say... but do question, is that enough to let the chance slip away? more that I watch ProDai, more that i feel I'm being mocked. It went straight to the heart. But that's what make this drama so special.
When Ken asked Rei, is it okay for her to accept Tada even they only know each other for a short time? one thing rang my head, how short is short? how long is long? that's us human, we often miscalculated. We often make up reasons. no, this is not the time, it's still early. Look at Ken, he has been with Rei for so long, yet he never get to express those special feeling. That's why I admire Tada's 'for how long I stand, it's still the same answer', what made the difference is to let the other party know the answer. Yeah, whatever... but I still want Rei to be with Ken. obviously.
and I just can't bear 'miss' scene. I just can't. those scene when you do something admirably but people won't get to know about it. like the depressing scene where Ken missed Rei, Rei missed Ken -- the one where Ken waited in front of the post office and bought champagne to celebrate Rei. And now, the ring. When he left it, it's sparkling lonely the way I see it.
If I'm Rei, I don't know if I'm able to accept Tada that fast after being hugged and surprisingly confessed by Ken. Although I sort of understand why she said Ken don't understand a thing. All those time together, why must this moment? Why must the time I'm put in a situation that'll decide my life. Why when I've decided to let go? it's a hard decision. But Rei must have her own logic.
This is supposedly be the last picture Ken time-slipped. But I've expected that Mikio will do something about it.... when Ken complained to Mikio about the last photo Mikio chose is making it hard on him. I knew there'll be extra picture at the end...
I love this series.
I really do.

[Download] Ready to Go - Kim Jung Hoon .mp3
I was putting all the music into WMP with 'shuttle' on, and this song caught my attention. Now I feel guilty for not listening to it as soon as I finish downloading, that's month ago 0_o. I love his voice, although...
..sometimes he sounds Koreanish to me.. maybe because I'm used to him singing Korean. but still his Japanese is quite cool. This song is very energizing ^ ^
now..

Sunday 10 June 2007
Nothing much happen in this episode. It's like Ken is doing nothing. But still I believe it's in a way essential for the story. This is mainly about putting a hole in someone's heart... the feeling like something is missing...
Spoiler....
It's not like Ken can think of extra wonderful plan for this mission especially when Rei decided to tell him that she has decided to date Tada Sensei. And more heartbroken he is when Rei told him that she once love him. This is really depressing, imagining ourselves overseeing the importance of existence of someone and when we start to realize it we're losing them and it's much more sad that all this while we've been ignoring their importance they were in fact having a feeling to us.. REGRET. yeps. the regret. Although Ken decided he can't do anything, refused to celebrate the New Years with friends... and in a corner of my heart I hope he can do something.. but I guess by doing nothing is actually a fine way. With that, on Rei's part, she'll feel a hole... Ken's missing and it's not fun without him. Heart is complicated. So eventhough she has started dating Tada, for Ken to be able to give this impact to Rei is actually important... she and Tada is just dating.... the 'there's something missing' feeling can somehow interfere with the development of Tada and Rei. Doing nothing can actually mean doing something....

070409 Waratte Iitomo SP
Screencaps & comments. Waratte Iitomo is so much interesting :)
and then this match between YamaP & Junno. Before it started they talk about their relationship of senpai-kouhai. Junno being asked what he address Yamapi which he answered 'yamapi' XD, yamapi went all embarrassed (I think so).
Yamapi is someone who don't like to lose. That's his trait, his j-web has been highlighting this side of him. You can see from his face and all. And the 'I won't lose' and his serious fighting mode shows that. Yamapi was so serious the whole time...and I think he's the only one who seems like boxing! the others just swooshing the thing as they want.
This is ♥
:D
but then...
call the fashion police!
D:
what are you wearing...? >.>
no only that, he fought girlishly..oh I'm dissapointed. still love him btw.

蘇り / Yomigaeri - review & OST download
蘇り / Yomigaeri
Spoiler free.
This is one memorable Japanese movie to me. The concept of resurrection is not what I'm talking about. I was feeling down while watching this trying to comprehend the fact that I'm growing up and will become separated from the family, and this movie made me cried and reflect my real life. That's not a good thing I know. But maybe because of that it left me with quite an impression. The basic story is that..........a weird happening sees dead people to be resurrected and come back to life to their loved one. There are few characters involved here, that of the main characters and side characters. I was touched more by the side characters though especially the two brothers, and the lovers (artists).
The music is wonderful! Three songs sung by Shibasaki Kou, or RUI, the character she plays in the movie. Especially Tsuki no Shizuku. I've been loving that song for quite a long time, safe to say it's one of my fav song. Oboru, and Kaze no Hate are also nice. You should listen to these. I'm uploading it on MU, so gank it. (please don't request me to reupload to any other server :( sorry I can't. MU is the one work best for me.. and I don't have much bandwith to spare for mirrors and all)

キッス~帰り道のラブソング~/Kiss~Kaerimichi no Love Song
Kanji & Romanized lyrics..Japanese Lyrics
2人きりの公園 帰り道の指定席
いつもより はしゃいでる 君を見つめ 聞いてみた
「もしも明日世界が なくなったら どうする?」
君は何も言わずに 僕の腕を ギュウっとしたね
ねえ こっちを向いていて
唇が近すぎて ドキドキ止まらない
どんな君も どんな時も 受け止めるから
もしも心が傷ついて 涙こぼれる時は
世界中を敵にしても 君を守るよ
I LOVE YOU 言葉はいらないよ
君が 最後のキッスいつまでも
いつもの別れ道で 何も出来ない わかってる
ほっぺたふくらませて 手を離して「もう行くね」
ねえ こっちを向いていて
唇に近づいて ドキドキ止まらない
こんな僕も 君がいれば 強くなれるよ
恋は不思議な魔法だね 何も怖くないから
世界中を敵にしても 離しはしない
STAND BY ME 誰かじゃ駄目なんだ
君に ずっと側にいて欲しい
あぁ 無邪気な素顔のまま 君は言う
「ねえ おばぁちゃんになっても キスしてくれるの?」
ねえ その時には 僕だって同じだよ
繋いだ手 離しはしないから
どんな君も どんな時も 受け止めるから
もしも心が傷ついて 涙こぼれる時は
世界中を敵にしても 君を守るよ
I LOVE YOU 言葉はいらないよ

キッス~帰り道のラブソング~/Kiss~Kaerimichi no Love Song - TegoMass
I never listen to Tegomassu, in fact I'm not familiar with them as duet, the only time I heard or known of them is when they debuted as duet.. but that's it.
But just now, I'm watching the video Kiss~Kaerimichi no Love Song with sub...
I stumbled upon that video and streamed it..
DL link: {MU} , {SS} (credit: here )
lyrics : here
and I find myself really liking it.
the song is decent..
their voice is nice.. well I always think both of them are the few people with the best voice in News as a matter of fact.
but..
what caught me, actually, is the lyrics.
I find it simple and beautiful..
just two extract.
translation: lunargen 1.
whoever you are, at whatever time, I'll accept you,
when your heart is hurting, and at times you are crying,
even if the world is against you, I'll protect you.
2.
ah, with an innocent honesty, you said,
'ne, when I become an old lady, will you still kiss me?'
ne, when that times come, I'll still be the same,
because I'll never let go of this hand I hold in mine
however stupid this might sound.. but the lyrics really got into me. especially the 'old lady' part. For a split second my heart stop beating... touched.
プロポーズ大作戦 7/ Proposal Daisakusen 7
ProDai in general.
Why is it becoming better and better? I started without much expectation. And to date I can say that despite the what you say cheesy basic plot (time split.... good entertainment though :p) it managed to be something spectacular. Not just depending on time split but the plot development, and kudos to its 'unpredictableness'. Predictable or unpredictable of course is a matter of individual, once you predict it becomes predictable. However, the unpredictable here derived not wholly on that aspect but on how the episodes is well directed it try not to resort to easy problem-solving... which would take all the fun away. And that's proposal daisakusen. The 'past me' (pun intended) never thought I'll be growing to love this series a lot. It has those quality and magic Nobuta wo Produce has, I'm saying this is not because of Yamapi whatsoever, but the story and plot development itself. And how the message is brought up creatively, although in this aspect, it can't surpass Nobuta wo Produce IMHO that's it.
Ep 7
Now I'm going straight to the point :p There's a little surprise at the end of the ep. And for those who has seen the preview at the end of ep 6, yeps (highlight to read) he does say he's going to graduate from this time-slip thingy'. That makes me go 'nooooo' but then I know that's just a statement. It won't happen. Especially after what Mikio said to him.
Sunday 3 June 2007
プロポーズ大作戦 5-6 / Proposal Daisakusen 5-6
Ep 5 is decent. I'm still holding to the sweetness of ep. 4, maybe. But to see Ken gaining courage is not bad. I feel bad for him though after going back to the past with hopes he ended up disappointed when learning that Rei is still marrying, right in front of him. However, that is just what logical. One or few acts doesn't mean one can change everything, so I've no complaint. It's just the feeling of pity. Ep 6 progress very depressingly... I mean it made me yell from inside looking
..how things can be misunderstood, fearing I myself would face the same thing in real life. Believe me, one of your worse fear is to be misunderstood, or to misunderstand something important. ...when that something might change everything.
Ken is trying so hard. You'll feel bad for him. The angel said 'don't easily jumps into conclusion'. Right on it... it's funny how Proposal Daisakusen has been sending message in a discreet manner and made me think of the life surrounding me, and how I and people around me conduct our life.
spoiler alert!
my heart cried when Ken waited in front of the post office and at the same moment Rei is actually at Ken's house to look at his condition... and how the Goukon message on the phone made her sad and disappointed. I was hoping that she will eventually know that Ken is actually doing something to her. Waiting for her. And bringing with him wine/beer/whatever to celebrate her birthday. But fate decided that she won't know about it.... it's depressing and sad.
At the end of the preview, Ken said... "I don't want to time travel anymore". I was speechless. Is it him giving up. is there an event that made him lose hope?
わたしたちの教科書 / Watashitachi No Kyokasho -- ep 6!!
Episode 6 - Koi wo suru kimochi/the feeling of love
Ep 6 watched. And I'm still loving it. Even to the fact that there is a big gap between me watching this ep and the previous one. Ever heard of a story that starts of good but becoming boring halfway? luckily it's not so with this. I'm still glued.
The episode is living with it sub-title of ep 6, the feeling of love. Here we'll see the relationship between Kaji-sensei and another teacher in the school develop. And the thing that touched me is the relationship between Tamako and her soon to be fiancee, how..
..everything turn upside down. How even that, you can't help but pitying both side, not blaming one side. Kanno Miho is sure a wonderful actress especially when talking about playing with emotion. That's what she's best at. How her face bring out the emotion. I've heard many good things about her wonderful performance in Koi ga Shitai, I'm going to watch that soon. Because they say... once you see that, you'll fall in love with her, and with her flawless face emotion.
I'm anticipating next episode... seems like a new course of event will happen.. something new will come up. And I want to see Kaji's developing himself to whichever side I don't know. He's turning into a new Kaji, and I can't really say it's the better or the worse.... this is a drama where you don't really know which side to side for.
