Kizuna

 Don't you adore this photo? I can't believe how cute Ryo-chan was when he was young. I never really cared about their age.. but it looks like Yamapi is older than Ryo.... really?! waha!

News Unplugged/ Ryo-chan

I think I'm turning into a Yamapi fan too like everyone else.. at first I can't believe why people like him.. but after watching him in Buzzer Beat it opened my eyes..  And his hair here really looks good.. yes I have a fetish for hair. Anyway I'm still a Ryo-chan fan.. I know he's gonna get his color back.. well he looks good too with surfer tan. I always love to see live performances.. my eyes sometimes forget about Ryo-chan because of Tegomass.. well mostly Tegoshi... omo! I can't believe I know now all their names lol. Before it's just Nishikido Ryo.. well I still don't know other's full name.. but at least I know one of their names :))

Instant Replay

I need to be updated huh?.. I'm a late bloomer in appreciating Se7en's Better Together, I like Shinee's Lucifer and Up&Down. I also learn to love Taeyang's whole album, before it's just Superstar but now I'm liking other songs too, like Break Down. And as expected with Brave Brothers they make a very catchy song.. it's nice comeback for Jay Park in music industry after how many months of chaos, I miss hearing his voice! But I still feel different him being solo... well I need to get used to it now.. And yes add Jpop to my lists, I've been captivated by Arashi and Nishikido Ryo's songs.. so wherever Ryo is.. NEWS or Kanjani8 I'll be there. haha. But I'm kinda sad that I don't here much of him here in their new single unlike Rolling Coaster.. but I always love it when he plays guitar rather than dancing. And with Arashi's full album I have few favorites excluding Troublemaker, Monstah! (:]]) and Everything.. it's "movin on" and "1992*4##111"... yea a little Nino bias there..

Japanese Drama Reviews

I've watched three dramas since our connection got cut off and I just can't pass without making my non sense review. Yamada Taro Monogatari, Voice and Ryusei no Kizuna.. :D.. posting them in one go seems easier.. so here ya go.

Voice
What should I say about this drama? It's not a drama that connects every episode, it's more like different story per episode.. well almost. Well you expect it to be like that because it's about forensic medicine students. There has been a lot of dramas about medical fields but not much about forensic, because they are not fighting for a life, but instead they are trying to hear the last words the person died. It's a really neat thing.

When you hear forensic the first thing that comes in your mind is CSI.. well it's more like that but very dramatic and less about the victim, it's more on the life being a student and how they get through a semester. Ow before anything else, did I mention how cool nurse Ikuta looks?? And Eita's Einstein hairstyle me likes.

I really appreaciate now the detectives, forensic doctors and police for their minds, how they manage to imagine how accidents had occured, maybe because I'm young that's why my brain doesn't know much, but it's very "soo-ge!". I'm so glad I'm not watching just about lovey stories. I know enjoy having knowledge about different fields.

Yamada Taro Monogatari
So I picked this drama without any knowledge about it. All I know is that my Nino-chan is the lead actor for this drama, I wasn't even sure if it's safe to watch it with my whole family. The whole plot of the story is very simple which makes it special drama for me.. because yes, there are not much drama and unbelievable situation.

Ninomiya plays an innocent boy but very mature in terms of taking care of his sibblings, which I get irritated by his parents who are very irresponsible and just there sitting pretty while their eldest son working his butt off every night. But that's also the beauty of Ninomiya's character Taro, he's selfless and he's hardworking and SMART!And his joy is to help others. Oh how I wish it's easy to find someone like him. This drama doesn't focus about love, it's more on how other lives change while seeing Taro's life which I'm very okay with. I love their family motto.. "Don't borrow money, we can't return it! When you lose money, just look up and walk." something that is similar to that ^_^

The only thing that irritates me is Sakurai's smirk and how his character react when Taro finally in a place where he doesn't need to have different jobs. I don't really get Sakurai's character to be there, but it does spies up the story. I really enjoyed watching Yamada Taro Monogatari, I'll definitely watch it again. I want more Nino!

--------------------------------------------------------------- 

Ryusei No Kisuna
I was aware of this drama but didn't watch it right away because the promotional poster makes it look like a horror drama. It's in the suspense category but I don't think it's a suspense drama, more like a family and comedy.

I love all the actors! Nino and Ryo-chan in one drama! woohoo! and Erika Toda from Death Note, and a new found actor to watch out Kaname Jun. The story is about how three sibbling bond started, having to face their lives ahead of them after losing their parents in a tragic murder. They grew up having in their minds to kill the killer with their own hands.

I'm not really that focused on their history, because dwelling on it instead of moving on makes it worse but then again I don't have that much say because I haven't lose anyone close to me. But that's just my opinion about it. I'm more excited about the swindling part, yes I know it's bad but I really find it so cool how they do it.. It's very comical, I'm embracing japanese dramas for that.

So yea, I learn a little bit of swindlers, the ending part is what I like, it's happy ending but they also faced the consequences of what they have done.

NEWS

I was contemplating if I should post my new interest because I still don't know if it will stick to me like K-pop did. I tried to listen to J-pop songs because my best friend recommends it, and yea every time I listen to Jpop it always reminds me of Anime, because I known them for that.. not really a bad thing, I think they have their own music.. you know when you hear it for the first time you'll have an impression "it's very Japanese like".

With News, I still don't know.. I'm definitely turning into a Ryo-chan fan and that means I'm gonna have to try News whether I like it or not. They're not really new so I hope I'm not making those crazy fans shoo me. I only like two of their songs, well only two songs stick to my mind while watching the News Winter Diamond Tour. Maybe I was so fixated to see Nishikido's solo performance that I didn't bother looking the other performances. I like all Nishikido Ryo's solo songs, I learned to appreciate his husky voice.. it's rare ^_^ And Yamapi.. Ohmy! I've been always aware of that name but never really checked him out because I was so into Ikuta Toma that time (and still is). The only members I'm confident with names are those two and Koyama. And the rest I have to google them..Tegoshi, Kato, Masuda... and Uchi that got kicked out from the group because of drinking while underage, haha! don't really know the whole shenanigans but I tried to do my research.. well it doesn't really matter I don't think I will like them that much... I still feel I'm gonna stick as Nishikido fan..

Ryo Nishikido or the other way around

I'm not really into Jpop because I never really try to do my research about them. But because my friend Mico dragged me into this drama I can't myself to know more about the leading guy in 1 Litre of Tears, Nishikido Ryo. I googled him and found out that he's part of a band.. like c'mon! Do all of their actors also knows how to sing? So I checked his song Code and the first part is kinda nah.. but as I listen to it over and over again it's very catchy. His voice is not something I used to hear so I don't know if he has a great voice but as long as it's not out of tune it's okay.. his husky voice is just right for him..

I don't know if I'll be a fan of him.. I never really sticked to Japanese artists.. Ikuta Toma and Shirota Yuu are the only Japanese actors that I know before.. well plus him now ^^. Here are the videos that made me like him more than being the sweet guy in 1 Litre of Tears.
