Kubota Masataka creeps me out and Fujigaya Taisuke is hot

Title:「MARS~ただ, 君を愛してる~」
Run time: 2016.01.24 - 03.27, Sundays

MARS is a drama that I happened to have watched because I was bored, and in need of some high school romance. I found it awkward that the two male leads were in their late 20's, but I guess that's fine since they made it look believable. At first I thought it was just some cliché love story between a girl and two guys. But then I realised that one of the guys likes the other guy, and not the girl, so that made it different. Fujigaya Taisuke is the reason why this drama is bearable to watch. Let's be honest, he's handsome. And his acting wasn't bad either. Though there was some slip bits that I noticed while watching. Kubota Masataka was just creepy throughout the whole drama. I mean I know he was supposed to be because of the role that he was playing, but I just thought, was that Light I'm watching again? That kind of acting is just unacceptable. There was some Nani kore moments throughout the drama, and by the time I finished it I was just like "what did I just watched?". But I can't blame it since the episodes were just 20-something-minutes long, and being based on a manga, we shouldn't expect much from it. Well, I haven't read the manga, not that I'm going to. So this review is solely based on my opinion.

Except Fujigaya Taisuke is good eye candy, I don't think there was much else to the drama. The female lead was fine at first, but then she started pissing me off towards the end because I was like, you know what, I just had enough of her being all innocent and shit. And who acts like that in real life? Like, wake up, being all introvert does not get you the hot popular dude at school.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm too used to watching something more realistic. Or was that jealousy I'm sensing inside?

Conclusion: 6.5 / 10 stars. Kubota Masataka wasn't helping anything for the drama here except just being the weird creepy dude. Also the drama storyline was just a snooze fest. Taisuke's hotness made up a lot for it, though. And I have to say the two theme songs (Gravity by Kis-My-Ft2 and Friends by Rebecca) really helped a lot too. I think the emotions expressed by this drama were all mainly depended on by these songs. Without them, this drama would've been a big puddle of WTF. Maybe I need to watch the movie too to make a final conclusion.

I'M AN ARASHI FANCLUB MEMBER!!!

Image
So it's official. I'm their fanclub member. I don't know what to feel. It just seems so surreal. Am I dreaming?   I have been Arashi's fan for two and a half years, and during this time, just thinking about joining their fanclub was something of a long-distance dream. Because it would've been a step closer to seeing Arashi live. Joining their fanclub means I get a chance at balloting their concert tickets. And since I'm going to Hakkaido, Japan, this October, it will become my first time in Japan, which means I might get more opportunities to go to other places in Japan in the future. Not that it's that simple because I still need to compete with 1.9 million other fanclub members, but I'm getting nearer, and that alone gives me hope. I actually thought joining their fanclub was something impossible since you have to have a Japan address, which literally means you have to live in Japan, in order to have a chance to join. And it was all thanks to my

Album Thoughts: ARASHI / Japonism

Image
Title: Japonism Artist: 嵐 Release date: 2015.10.21 You know what Arashi is good at with their albums every year? Getting better and better with one after the other. And this year is no exception. They once again release an album filled with absolute amazingness. And, well, seeing as it sold over 820,000 copies in its first week, what else do you want me to say? But really, this album is gold, I'm telling you. The theme, the outlook, the content and everything is on point. When it was first announced that the album was to be called Japonism , I knew straight away that it's going to be very interesting. And Ohno and Nino are the star vocalists here. They sound so good in this album. This year Arashi focuses on the theme of 'Japan' and 'Japan viewed from the outside' and something like that. And puts out new and fresh sound for people to hear. They released three versions of this album. All worth buying of course. Darn it, they know how to sell! Oh wells,

Album Thoughts: ARASHI / Are You Happy?

Image
Title: Are You Happy? Artist: 嵐 Release date: 2016.10.26 Okay, I disappeared again. I'm sorry, it's life. But Arashi gave me motivation to write again. And who would miss an opportunity to talk about Arashi's album of 2016! First of all, Happy New Year! I know I'm late into saying this but, let's hope 2017 will be a year full of greatness. Even though we won't because Trump is new POTUS and this world is ending.  2016 was a year full of many ups and downs. And I felt like there were more negative things that have happened than positive things. You know, what's with the UK unexpectedly changing PMs and the US getting a new president. And not just the whole world is going apeshit right now. The Japanese entertainment industry is crashing too. So many things have happened. What's with SMAP disbanding. Actors and actresses having scandals... leaving the industry... passing away even... yeah you know what I'm talking about. But great achievements
