Para cowo yg milih Masami Nagasawa bilang kalo mereka ngiler ngeliat Masami bikin coklat di iklan2 dan pengen bgt ngerasain coklat yg dibikin olehnya. Sedangkan para cewe yg milih Sato Takeru bilang kalo doi pasti lgsg menerima coklat pemberiannya dan mengerti perasaannya. Kalo gw sih maunya ngasih coklat ke Hideaki Takkizawa aja deh… He’s really cool imo… ^^ As 4 the song, lagu Arashi yg jd ost “Hana Yori Dango” itu lmyn cocok jg… Ah~ jd pengen bikin coklat jdnya… :p

Selain masalah coklat diatas, baru2 ini jg ada polling yg menyangkut hari Valentine dr majalah entertainment “Oricon Star“. Mereka menanyakan 300 dr pembaca mereka yg cewe dan msh duduk di bangku SMU mengenai ‘aktris mana yg ga sengaja membuat mereka terpesona’, dlm kata lain artis cewe yg mereka kagumi. Kita tau lah ya kalo seorg aktris wajarnya disukai oleh cowo2, dan para cewe lbh demen ngeliat aktor2 yg ganteng. Tp tanpa dukungan para fans cewe, seorg aktris lmyn susah u/ sukses.

Dan baru2 ini hasil ranking tsb dah keluar dan di posisi pertama ada nama aktris yg digosipin pacaran ma Yamapi sbg pemenang Valentine Queen awards. Yup! Sapa lagi kalo bukan Keiko Kitagawa! Ada yg berkomentar kalo wajah natural nya di dorama2 sangatlah cantik dan penampilannya di iklan2 jg menarik. Keiko spertinya dpt bny dukungan dr gadis2 dan wanita2 Jepang akhir2 ini. Mereka bahkan memilih Keiko di posisi pertama u/ “Best Dorama Heroine of 2009” dan di posisi kedua di ranking “I’d like to have a face like her” bbrp waktu lalu.

Keiko debut akting di film “Mamiya Brothers” dan pencapaian terbesarnya (smp saat ini) a/ sbg pemeran utama wanita di dorama “Buzzer Beat“.  Org2 dah terbiasa liat wajahnya dgn bny make-up waktu dia jd model, tp wajah naturalnya yg hrs diperlihatkannya sbg aktris telah memberikannya bny poin ekstra dr penonton wanita. Selain memiliki wajah yg cantik alami, Keiko jg merebut perhatian para fans cewe dgn pribadinya yg menyenangkan.  Berikut komentar para wanita2 yg memilihnya:

• “In doramas she almost wears no make-up at all and that’s when she’s the prettiest.”
• “She’s pretty, cute and stylish, but her character is good as well.”

Oh yes~ i would voted 4 her too~~ ^^

Berikut daftar lengkap pemenang Valentine Queen awards versi majalah “Oricon Star”:

01 – Kitagawa Keiko
02 – Shibasaki Kou

03 – Becky

04 – Karina
05 – Miyazaki Aoi

08 – Aragaki Yui

I knew it… i knew it was just a matter of time before i return to my old fandom… but i didn’t expect it to be this early!! haha.. i’ve liked japanese drama, pop and anime ever since i was in grade school and that was 10 years ago!! the latest jpop group that i fell in love with was the Hey! Say! kids of Johnny’s Entertainment.. well, almost ALL of my fave jpop people are from there anyway… XDD

but anyway, i finally watched the second episode of Yamamoto Nadeshiko with Kamenashi Kazuya playing as Kyohei… oh my gosh!! i would just LOVE to spazz about his ridiculous expressions!! he almost looks like he’s from the anime world!! i mean, his “sweatdrops” and “eh?” were really funny and point blank on the expression.. he gives an all new meaning to live action.. ahaha.. im sure kyohei would be happy to know that Kame was the one who portrayed him.. i was really anxious since Kame wasn’t in any jdrama that i know of last year so i really wanted to watch his new drama which ended up to be REALLY good!!

enough about Kame, I still have one more jdrama to spazz on… BLOODY MONDAY!! it was scary but funny in a way.. Miura Haruma just proved to me that he’s not like one of the other child actors that when they grow up, they’re not that good looking anymore.. i mean, he’s still good looking now and he’s got such a nice aura surrounding him.. it’s dark but angelic?? ahaha.. but i liked his performance in bloody monday since he matured here rather than in Gokusen, but he was also cool there.. hahaha, oh well, he can even just be an extra and i’ll still watch his scenes.. hahaha

i would have wanted to include my blabbing about Yamapi, Matsujun and Oguri here but then i can’t say anything about them for the meantime.. i have yet to watch their latest dramas (which i will do after exams end).. but i know that i would surely need to spazz after i watch them…

oh kdrama, where art thou??? jdrama is taking over me again.. XDD the last kdrama that i loved watching was “You’re Beautiful” and i LOVED it too.. but then it’s over now and my spazzing time on it has passed already.. they say God of Study is good but i have yet to watch an episode from it to see if it really is something that would catch my interest..

after the event, i lost sight of new friend, will have to ask her on FB later. So ah-ting and me went looking for lunch. We walked around quite a bit before settling for Korean. And decided to watch Gokusen there at 445. Ah-ting wanted to watch it, we were gonna watch with Gigi but she wasn’t feeling well on Sunday so didn’t come to the event; but Ah-ting was booked this week so i watched with her first. I’ll watch it again with Gigi, lol~ The food was good, but i waited at least half an hour for my kimchee-pork ramen as my friend was eating.. We chatted and hea-ed for a long time in the restaurant, left around 330? Walked around some more and i got a grey skirt. Then went inside the theater.

Oh by the way, saw the Nodame poster on the big screen that airs trailers!! was gonna snap photo of it but everytime i wanted to it went to the next movie! =_= but we took pics of Wu Chun (Fahrenheit) haha~

Ohh also saw the trailer of Nodame inside the theater tooo! i squealed XDD OK, about the movie, well, as expected, really really exaggerated. but that’s Gokusen. There were a lot of funny parts and not-supposed-to-be-funny-but-i-laughed parts, lol~ Kame was CUTE! argh Odagiri Ryu, the guy who was responsible for my fall into the depths of the world of Johnnys. I think i shall talk more about it when i watch it again? Now i’ll just say that story-wise it’s ok i guess, again, very Gokusen. And not unlike Kurosagi movie, this one also felt like a longer drama SP with bigger bugget and shown on bigger screen… LOL~ but all the ikemens alone are enough to draw me XP

really love the guests appearances though! first Koike Teppei and Koide Keisuke showed up together (which implied they’re still good friends, yay), then Mokomichi Hayami showed up when Yankumi and Ryuu were trying to save the day (or the students that include Haruma and BAD; but from this we know Ryuu and Tsucchi kinda lost contact maybe), btw Moco’s part is much bigger than the other guests! Then the Shirokin graduates showed up right at the end of the movie. Ishigaki Yuma first, then Narimiya Hiroki, and finally Oguri Shun. I kya-ed at Nari and Shun hahaha~ Really wish that Matsujun and Akanishi would show up too, wonder why they couldn’t.. or at least they couldn’t mentioned their names!! Tsk! ah well~

i look forward to watch it again, actually, hahahah~

the movie was 2 hours long. We came out, got boba drinks, and walked around a bit again. Bought egg tarts becoz i finally learned from Ah-Ting which store sells Chris Patten’s favorite egg tarts, lol~ then we took the MTR home. I got back to YL at about 8ish? what a day~ then there was family drama again, but i tried my best not to let it dampen the mood, and tried tot cheer up my mom a little bit too. Today parents are going to Taipei to spend a week vacation with bro and sil, wish them a fun and safe trip!

Another new Japanese drama that is set to air soon, on 23 January 2010, Saturdays at 8 pm on TBS.

The drama stars Miura Haruma and Sato Takeru.

This is a remake of the manga by the same name, although I think the second season moves away from the original story. The manga can be read at Onemanga.

The second season is quite similar to the first season, where Tokyo is faces with something deadly and can wipe out the entire city. Where the first season dealt with a deadly Russian weapons-grade virus, and the new season is set two years later when an aircraft bearing a new kind of nuclear weapon threatens Tokyo. Miura plays the role of a genius hacker and Sato is his best friend.

I think the terrorist/bad guys in the second season are the same as in the first season. But they have also added new cast members to their ensemble.

I am actually looking forward to this drama as I had already watched the first season and got really addicted to it – I was watching the first season as I was preparing for my Law Year 1 Finals – but, I will have to constrain myself and not overdo it. So I will only be able to watch when I have the time. Haiz~

Anyways, the drama summary, here.

And a trailer.

To watch with subtitles, at Mysoju, Season 1 and the coming soon Season 2. And on Dramacrazy.

Something extra to read regarding the drama, here.

ps> i realised that i am now hooked unto japanese dramas, instead of korean or taiwanese… as can be seen from my previous posts… hmm… i wonder why…

so i’ve watched none of the Autumn season Japanese dramas, AT ALL! i don’t even remember what there were last season… i only downloaded Tokyo Dogs, My Girl, and Romes. I think. Can’t even remember because i haven’t touched any of them, so i have to look at my external hard drive.. Oh i also dl-ed 1st ep of High School Samurai and Liar Game season 2.. hahah. Hmmm the American shows kept me busy ne.. and honestly i went on an hiatus as far as J-doramas are concerned. I’m accumulating more and more in the hard drive.. since i’ve been dl-ing Otomen as well. I watched the first 2 episodes last Sunday and it was pretty fun, and Masaki’s REALLY cute soo.. XP

anyways, so i checked on Subpig what dramas i should watch this season… and wow, looks like a lot! Don’t know which ones i’ll actually watch though, let alone finish..

1. Hidarime Eye Tantei! (Yokoyama Yu x Yamada Ryosuke)
ok i really should watch the drama SP some time soon.. Yoko looks SO good in this!

2. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henka (Kamenashi Kazuya x Uchi Hiroki)
Hiroki’s drama. Nuff said. But then i’m not liking the ballet dude and i have no interests in Tegoshi…

3. Bloody Monday 2 (Miura Haruma x Sato Takeru!)
I enjoyed the first season, and i like to watch this combi, soo will prolly watch it

4. Nakanaito Kimeta Hi (Fujiki Naohito x Kaname Jun!)
OMG i had no idea about this one, but when i saw the 2 guys’ names in this, it became a must-try. (btw i skimmed thru 2 eps of Yado no Kaidan for Naohito!) But the title looks really sad… The day i decided not-to cry?!? *scared*

Now onto those i MAY be interested but most likely won’t touch due to the lack of time…

5. Code Blue 2 (Yamashita Tomohisa)
i haven’t watched? finished? a Yamapi drama since ehhh DragonZakura i think… wow that’s a LONG time! i watched half of Kurosagi and the SP of Proposal Daisakusen.. didn’t touch Code Blue, its SP, and ehh Buzzer Beat either.. So it’s highly unlikely i’ll watch season TWO..

6. Tokujou Kapachi (Sakurai Sho x Horikita Maki)
i never watched Sho’s dramas except for Quiz Show, in which he was quite amazing. The matching with Horimaki seems interesting too! So.. maybe? a very big maybe that is.

what i really REALLY wanna watch though, are the drama promotion variety shows, LOL~

CROW Zero II

ความเดิมจากภาคแรก จบลงตรงที่เก็นจิ สามารถสู้ตัวต่อตัวและมีชัยชนะเหนือเซริซาวะได้

:: Suzuran ::
Oguri Shun  เก็นจิ // Yamada Takayuki  เซริซาว่า //Kiritani Kenta โทคิโอะ

:: Hosen ::
Kaneko nobuaki  นารุมิ // Miura Haruma  ทัตสึยะ //  Ayano Takeshi เรียว

เก็นจิ ได้ชื่อว่าเป็นหัวหน้าคนใหม่ของสุซุรันแล้ว   แต่ความรู้เท่าไม่ถึงการณ์  เขากลับกลายเป็นต้นเหตุในการเปิดสงครามครั้งใหม่ ระหว่างสุซุรันกับโฮเซ็น ขึ้นมาอีกครั้ง

ฝั่งโฮเซ็นที่นำโดย นารุมิ ก็ประกาศเอาคืนสุซุรัน โรงเรียนที่นำความตายมาให้ บิโตะ มากิโอะ หัวหน้าคนก่อนของพวกเค้า   โดยพยายามดึง ทัตสึยะ (บิโตะผู้น้อง)  เข้ามาร่วมในการแก้แค้นครั้งนี้  … แต่ดูเหมือนทัตสึยะ จะไม่ค่อยใส่ใจเท่าใดนัก

และนับจากวันที่สัญญาสงบศึก อายุสองปีถูกฉีกไป   สุซุรันกับโฮเซ็น ก็มีเรื่องกันไม่เว้นแต่ละวัน ไม่ว่าจะแก๊งค์ใคร ถ้าเจอกันที่ไหน ก็มีอันต้องสู้กันจนเจ็บหนักไปทั้งสองข้าง  … รู้อย่างนั้น เก็นจิก็ยังไม่ใส่ใจ ไม่มองว่ามันคือปัญหาเพราะมั่นใจในฝีมือของตัวเอง  จนโทคิอะและอิซากิ เพื่อนและเพื่อนร่วมแก๊ง อดเป็นห่วงไม่ได้

โทคิโอะ พยายามอย่างมากเพื่อให้ เซริซาวะ กับเก็นจิร่วมมือกัน  ส่วนอิซากิ ก็ตระเวณชักชวนอีการุ่นน้อง  ให้เข้าร่วมในศึกใหญ่ที่กำลังย่างกรายเข้ามาในไม่ช้า

ถึงกระนั้น ก็ดูเหมือนความบุ่มบ่าม เอาแต่ใจของเก็นจิ ยังเป็นปัญหาใหญ่ค้ำคอ ที่ทำให้ยังไม่สามารถรวบรวมเหล่าอีกาทุกฝูงให้เป็นหนึ่งเดียวกันได้

-  สุซุรันกับโฮเซ็นจะตัดสินกันอย่างไร
-  เหล่าอีกา จะยอมมาร่วมสู้เคียงข้าง G.P.S. ของเก็นจิหรือไม่

ติดตามบทสรุปของภาค Zero อันน่าตื่นตาตื่นใจด้วยตาของคุณเอง  ก่อนที่เรื่องราวจะเข้าสู่ CROW อย่างเต็มตัวในภาคสาม

==============================================

Genji เท่ห์ซ้าาาา

Samurai High School

Miura Haruma goodness XD 

Loving:  singlet-clad Kotaro & that little top-knot/ponytail that inexplicably appears every time Samurai Kotaro emerges - darn it just looks so goooood~

Not Loving:  Nagasawa!!  I don’t know why (besides possible jealousy) but I just can’t seem to like her…

Tokyo DOGS

Oguri Shun and a little bit of Mizushima Hiro too…

Loving: Shun (of course) – he has the best facial expressions and is totally in character as usual.  Also liking the performance from the female lead.

Not Loving: Hiro isn’t really believable as a cop but he does provide some comedic relief every now and then…

Black & White

Another Police Show (2009 seemed to be the season for them)

Loving: Vic is superb as the slack/crazy cop who is actually a good guy at heart – totally in character as usual (Vic & Shun always nail their characters, and interestingly they tend to play the same character roles too – both played the same role in Meteor Garden & Hana Yori Dango respectively).  Also totally loving Kingone as a villain… although I wouldn’t want to meet him in a dark alley at night!

Not Loving: Vic’s partner is a little too impulsive in my opinion and his acting leaves much to be desired (do I sense a similarity with the cast of Tokyo DOGS?).  The women so far just are just annoying…

Omou!! I’m so excited about this!! I love this drama!! Can’t wait to watch it!..

More about Bloody Monday 2..

Now, a couple of my favorite japanese actors would be Miura Haruma and Yamashita Tomohisa (aka Yamapi) mostly because they just so damn fine. Although i do believe Haruma is an amazing actor!

Anyways, back on topic. I have yet to write about the two and their new 2nd season dramas coming up! First i’ll start with a summary of Bloody Monday season 1.

Bloody Monday (1st season) was about biological terrorist group threatening to release the deadly virus Bloody X in Japan. Japan’s Public Safety Special Third unit, aka THIRD-i, is the team faced with the task of countering and stopping the terrorist group. To figure out the origins of a past attack with the deadly Bloody X virus they recruit a former member’s son Takagi Fujimaru who is an expert hacker, but he then gets deeply involved with the chase. Now that Fujimaru is in, there is no way for him to get out and protect his family and friends other than unraveling the terrorists plots and catching them.

I enjoyed the drama very much, even though i am more accustomed to more light hearted stories. Bloody Monday kept you on your toes, threw twists and turns at you, made you yell at the screen, and was an overall good suspense/action drama. Plus Miura Haruma is just damn fine. ^-^

Next is Code Blue (season 1). This drama is a medical drama, it is about incorporating the new Doctor Heli program with the hospital. Doctor Heli is a program in which a helicopter will fly the medical team to the site of the accident to treat the patient there because they are unable to get to the hospital in time or at all. There are 4 new young physicians that arrive at the hospital as flight-doctors-in-training. The 4 doctors vary greatly in their approach with work, people, and how they will be chosen to fly on the helicopter. The doctors face challenging medical situations, human interactions and ambitions, the fragility of life, and they begin to learn how to be a better person and doctor.

Code Blue was very dramatic, sad and suspenseful at times. It was an okay/good drama. I watched it at the begining because of Yamapi (1st ep there’s a chest shot of him and DAMN is he ripped!), but i got into it pretty quick and had to finish it. It sometimes got kinda boring, but it was worth finishing it. There was also a Code Blue special at the end of the season.

.

There will be a season 2 for both dramas and i cannot wait!

There is no summary on DramaWiki for Code Blue season 2, but there is one for Bloody Monday season 2.

Whereas the first series dealt with a deadly Russian weapons-grade virus, the new season is set two years later when an aircraft bearing a new kind of nuclear weapon threatens Tokyo. –Anime News Network

Crosstalk b/w Miura Haruma & Shirota Yuu
- “Our common points are: Takeru and undecisive personality”

Q: This is the first time both of you are acting together, what are your initial impression of each other?

Miura: Yuu-kun gave an impression that he’s capable of aggressive and violent behaviours…no I’m just joking (laugh). But I guess his character in “Rookies” left a very deep impression. Although the character is not a scary person, the image of “Shinjo” (T/N: Shirota’s character in Rookies) is really strong.

Shirota: I see..

Miura: But when I met up with Takeru (Satou Takeru), I heard a lot about Yuu-kun. In conclusion, (Takeru) called him a “noisy person”.

Shirota: Hahaha, Takeru and Haruma are on good terms with each other, just like Takeru and I. I had also asked Takeru about Haruma with questions such as “Next time I’m acting with Haruma-kun, what kind of person is he?” I had thought of Haruma as a shy person, but surprisingly, he’s quite outgoing, social type right? (意外とフレントリというか海外ノリで、すぐ打ち解けられるタイブだよね？)

Miura: Really? (laughs)

Shirota: 「初めまして」の瞬間はちょっとぎくしゃくする感じもあったけど、わりと早い段階で今でぐらいの感じにはなってたと思う。それって、俺の中ではあまりないことなんだよね。(to check)

Miura: Eh, really?!

Shirota: I’m quite particular about a person’s warmth and such, since (I’m) the type to think a lot. (T/N: In this context, it probably meant that he will observe a person first when he encounter a new person) But because I know that he’s on good terms with Takeru, I didn’t have a doubt that we wouldn’t get along and I was right.

Q: Together with Takeru, the three of you will make things (the situation) very lively right? (laughs)

Shirota: I understood from Takeru that all three of us have very undecisive personalities (laughs).

Miura: Yea, undecisive! (laughs). Like when we buy things…

Shirota: Takeru and I would be undecisive in supermarkets, where we are going for meals etc. We are always unable to decide.

Miura: “Anything is OK.” This is Takeru’s favourite phrase.

Shirota: We would be trying to decide about an hour plus (laughs), so I asked him, “What do you do when you’re having a meal with Haruma?” He then replied that, “In such situations, I would decide.” When it comes to Haruma, Takeru will take on the role of an older brother (laughs). So this is the relationship between three of us (laughs).

Penasaran gw mo kasih berita apa?? Well, yg 1 gosip, yg 1 lagi news. Hari2 gini yg paling enak itu nge-gosip, iya ga?! Hahaha… So kita mulai dgn yg gosip dulu aja yah. Ok! Let’s start gossiping then~ ^^

Setelah muncul bareng di drama “Buzzer Beat” *yg ampe skrg blom gw tamatin nontonnya >3<*, para media msh blom nyerah ngegosipin ttg hub Keiko Kitagawa dan Tomohisa Yamashita alias Yamapi diluar drama. Bulan kmrn majalah Josei Seven memuat foto mereka b2 lg bergandengan tangan waktu lg ujan. Tp kmd dibantah mentah2 oleh Yamapi pas diwawancara sewaktu doi konser akhir bln kmrn. Ktnya mereka berdua cuma teman biasa. Well, sepertinya semua org percaya yg dibilang Yamapi itu benar adanya dan setelah pernyataan itu keluar, gosip ttg dua sejoli ini agak meredup.

Tp skrg gosip itu makin memanas lg gara2 majalah yg sama mergokin mereka berdua lg jalan brg lagi! Artikel kepergoknya mereka berdua yg kedua kali ini dimuat di majalah Josei Seven awal bulan Desember. Dua kali kepergok jalan brg, kebetulan?! I don’t think so! Sepertinya Keiko dan Yamapi mang bener2 jadian.

Kali ini, mereka berdua terlihat sedang meninggalkan tempat kediaman Keiko dan kmd pergi ke sebuah resto. Keiko terlihat lg pegangan ke tangannya Yamapi sperti org lg pacaran gt. Setelah 2 jam berada di resto tsb, akhirnya keduanya keluar. Yg jd gosip serunya, ktnya Keiko and Yamapi tukaran jaket! Wow! Ini membuktikan kalo hub mereka mang udah lengket. Kenapa jg mereka tukaran jaket kalo cuma ‘teman biasa’. Yoi ga?!

So kalo dah ketauan gini, mending kalian berdua ngaku aja deh! Fans jg spertinya mendukung kalian berdua jadian. Ne, minnasan~?! ^^

Seru jg nge-gosip! Hahaha…  Mari kita tinggalkan dua sejoli itu merenungi  permintaan gw buat go public ttg hub mereka dan kita lanjut saja ke berita selanjutnya.

Dua cowo ganteng yg maen bareng di drama ‘Bloody Monday‘, Miura Haruma dan Sato Takeru akan merilis DVD barengan! DVD nya berjudul ‘HT ～N.Y.の中心で、鍋をつつく～ / HT ～N.Y. no Chushin-de Nabe o Tsutsuku～yg artinya secara kasar ‘Eating Japanese Hot Pot (Stew) in the Middle of New York’. Hah?! Judul yg aneh.. Hahaha… Sejak maen bareng di drama BM itu, mereka berdua jd akrab satu sama lain. Bahkan mereka sering makan nabe (hot pot Jepang) bareng. Mgkn krn itulah judul DVD nya makan Hot Pot di New York. Hahaha… Ada2 aja…

Di DVD ini akan dipertunjukkan betapa menyenangkannya kunjungan mereka berdua selama liburan musim panas ke tempat2 terkenal di New York spt Central Park dan Times Square. Intinya isi DVD ini cuma memperlihatkan reaksi2 mereka yg alami waktu ngeliat hal2 yg mereka anggap luar biasa dan blom pernah liat di Jepang. Walopun keliatannya sederhana, tp hal ini lmyn jarang bs diliat fans lho! Soalnya mereka kan terkenal bgt di Jepang dan hal itu bikin mereka ga leluasa jalan2 diluar. So dgn jalan2 ke New York, mereka bs sedikit santai.

Sedikit bocoran mengenai DVD ini. Setelah puas nonton drama musikal di Broadway, mereka lanjut belajar nari di Broadway Dance Center dgn murid lainnya. Mereka jg dgn serius mencoba berakting secara spontan dlm drama tanpa skenario.

Di jembatan Brooklyn yg terkenal itu mereka bahkan mencoba iseng2 lelucon kuno Jepang ke org bule yg lewat. Contohnya, mereka bilang “Hotta imo ijikuruna” yg artinya ‘Jgn main2 dgn kentang yg baru aja digali’ ke org asing yg kebetulan lewat. Kalimat jepang tsb kalo diucapkan secara cepet, ktnya bs kedengeran kyk lg ngomong ‘What time is it now’. *Apa iya bener?!* Dan ternyata org2 New Yorker itu ngerti apa yg mereka bilang! It’s hard to believe but it’s true!

Waduh keknya mesti nonton langsung neh DVD nya supaya ngerti. Gw cek di CDJapan, DVD ini dijual seharga Rp. 380.000,- dan akan dirilis tgl 17 Feb 2010. Tertarik beli?! ^^

Meanwhile, Miura Haruma dan Sato Takeru akan balik lg beraksi di drama ‘Bloody Monday Season2‘ yg akan ditayangkan mulai tgl 23 Januari 2010. Kalo di season pertama menceritakan perjuangan mereka melawan teroris dr Rusia yg membawa senjata berupa virus mematikan, di season kedua nanti akan berceritakan ttg 2 th kmd dr berakhirnya season pertama ketika sebuah pesawat udara yg membawa senjata nuklir terbaru tiba dan mengancam penduduk Tokyo.

What do you do when you are stuck in your desk and you’ve got nothing to do?

Today, I already finished text for a brochure which has been long overdue. I’ve been grappling with the text for the brochure for almost a week now, a bit clueless on how I will present one product and spread its product features to a three-fold brochure, BACK to BACK. Finally, I’m done.

The problem with finishing a task is that you don’t have anything else to do after. That’s considered suicide–especially when you have nothing else to do. Good thing, I have to produce texts for an ad intended for the Japanese market and its due ASAP.

WHOA. Now, the continuous blinking of my God-damned cursor taunts me. This was for a December printing and I can’t think of anything to write. Good luck to me, then.

Spent the day doing the following:

1. Watched a japanese movie via mySoju, called "Koizora" (Sky of Love) — one of the mushiest and saddest movies I’ve ever watched. Koizora is a story of young love and growing up. While some parts are clearly too complex to believe (it discussed pre-marital sex, rape, unwanted pregnancy, cancer and death) and digest in two hours. So, you may be sshell shocked with too much saccharine scenes, mixed with the requisite pang-emote moments. Anyhow, "Koizora" is a good stress and boredom buster if you are a fan of J-movies. Oh, the tale of young love, sweet love. Eheheheheh!

For sure, what did it for me (love the movie, of course) is the presence of Miura Haruma as Hiroki Sakurai or "Hiro" , the male protagonist. This guy i jut too cute (AND TOO YOUNG) for words! He was also the cool guy, Kazama Ren on Gokusen 3. Unfortunately, I did not find Gokusen 3 that good. I always preferred the first one (read: SAWADA SHIN).

2. Spent time on Facebook. Seriously considering to stop playing Farmville. The game is starting to bore me, and besides what else is there after you planted all that goddamned potatoes and built a new barn? Actually, all Facebook games are boring me to tears, well except the "Name the tune" thingy which has the capability to rattle my nerves.

3. Chatted with the Hubby (via FB) on some personal turmoil. I am so proud of him. For having the strength to just say what he really feels. Screw ‘em people who keeps bringing him down! We don’t need haters and non-believers in our life, and more so in our little family. I know we’ll weather this. God is good.

4. Drooled after new Korean and Japanese style dresses posted on the web. Come on, I need some resources! And the boots! And the coat! Friends know I am a sucker for all things that is fasyon. Me getting married literally spelled out the end of my porma days but what’s a girl to do but improvise and SAVE right? Oh, shit…if only I have the money, I will buy these. SERIOUSLY!

5. Looked for NEW HORIZONS. Will not expound. Jut watch out for new developments!

Okay, where should I begin on that god-damned ad?

Relaxed talk after class (Graduated from the same high school?!)

Shirota: This is the first time all students are gathered here, the atmosphere is really interesting! During filming breaks and so on, the atmosphere feels like one of a real school. It’s enjoyable just by seeing Haruma and Anne chatting away.

Haruma: Yuu-kun is really kind, the filming set became enjoyable because of him. He’s interesting, he sings well etc. For some reason, he kept singing the songs from “Past Japan Stories” today.

Shirota: I find myself singing when I’m happy (laugh) For Haruma, we became familiar very quickly after we first met. The drama is easy to act too, there are always many conversations going on.

Anne: It’s because 3 of us graduated from the same high school.

Shirota: That’s right. Because of this, we have many conversations regarding our high school memories.

Miura: Since I’m the most junior here, I can’t go against these two strict seniors (laugh).

Anne: Eh, no such thing (laugh).

Shirota: (agreeing with Anne) We all got along very well (laugh).

Anne: Shirota-kun and I, we attended the school together for about 1 year. (Note: Shirota was in his last year and Anne had just entered the school.) (He) might not remember it, but at the beginning of the year, there was once I’d told him, “I’m your Junior”. My heart was pounding excitedly while talking to him.

Shirota: No, I remembered about it.

Miura: Although I have not met Anne for a long time, after a quick greeting, we were able to converse without any awkwardness. Actually, you are someone who liked history very much right? (Note: Miura actualy used the term “暦女” which roughly translate into “girl who like history”)

Shirota: Oh, is she?

Anne: I like history, but not to such an extent. (laugh) Do I give people such impression? Alright, I shall portray myself in this way more then (laugh).

Miura: Isn’t it good to give such a special AURA?

Anne: It’s great (laugh).

Shirota: I’m really happy that I’m involved in this drama with such wonderful individuals.

Anne: Please look forward (to this drama) for the next 3 months!

Last year from October to December Miura Haruma (三浦春馬) appeared in the TBS drama series Bloody Monday (ブラッディ・マンデイ) as the lead actor. Now he is set to appear in the sequel to be broadcast from January 23rd. ‘Bloody Monday’ was Miura’s breakthrough drama, and ‘Season 2′ is already attracting attention.

For the previous series Miura played the part of the genius hacker Fujimaru and fought against cyber-terrorists. The new series takes place two years after those incidents. Now he has to prevent terrorists from using nuclear weapons. As a hijacked plane carrying a nuclear bomb gradually makes its way towards Tokyo, Fujimaru must use his hacking skills to stop it from detonating in the capital of Japan.

Miura sounded enthusiastic about the drama. “This drama is very important to me since it was the first time for me to play the lead actor. I’m happy that I’ve been given the opportunity to appear in it again. I will work hard to show viewers how much the main character Fujimaru and I have matured.”

¡Bien!

Confirmadísimo, habrá segunda temporada de Bloody Monday. Haruma se va a estresar. Cuando termine Samurai High School, otro dorama.

Se estrenará el 23 de enero, en el canal TBS.

A parte de Miura, hay otros actores confirmados para esta segunda temporada. La mayoría ya habían salido en la primera.

• Miura Haruma como Takagi Fujimaru (Falcon)
• Kawashima Umika comoTakagi Haruka
• Sato Takeru como Kujo Otoya
• Fujii Mina como Asada Aoi
• Matsushige Yutaka como Kano Ikuma
• Ashina Sei como Minami Kaoru
• Yoshizawa Hisashi como Kirishima Goro
• Nakahara Takeo como Sonoma Takao
• Narimiya Hiroki como J (Kanzaki Jun)
• Kichise Michiko como Orihara Maya
• Ryu Raita como Kujo Akihito
• Kurokaua Tomoka como Mizusawa (Nueva incorporación)
• Takashima Masahiro como Hagiwara Naotaro (Nueva incorporación)

Este dorama me motiva mucho más que Samurai High School. Tengo ganas de verlo. La primera temporada quedó muy abierta, y pensaba que harían una peli o segunda temporada, y no me equivoqué mucho. Me gustó mucho la primera ( me la tragué en un día…xD) así que espero que esta segunda esté a la altura.
