I've mentioned in my "How I turned from idoling ayu to Arashi"  post that it was Mizobata Junpei who got me into Japanese dramas. Although I've seen a few before I found Junpei, it was him who actually started my J-drama craze. One of the very first dramas I saw was Hanazakari no Kimitachi e . Although Junpei only had a small supporting role in it, it led me into the three main stars of the drama, Horikita Maki, Ikuta Toma and Oguri Shun. Long story short, I fell in love with them and it just started spreading from there. I started watching all three's individual starring works, and Horikita Maki became the first Japanese actress I love. She remain very important to me to now. With the recent news about her retiring from the entertainment industry, it did brought me sadness, and my tears did well up in my eyes a bit. I will miss her dearly. The Japanese entertainment industry lost yet another great talent. But I also feel great for her, and I resp...

This is random but, in the recent news about Ikuta Toma dating that very short-haired policewoman from Ouroboros , Seino Nana, and the news about Horikita Maki getting married, it sort of makes me think... I'm happy for them. You know? And I'm not like other fans where they overreact and feel disappointed. I have always wanted my idols to be happy . Have their own lives, and not for the sake of keeping the idoling fantasy. Because I always felt like true idoling should remain realistic . And not messed up fan mind thinking their idols are always theirs. Because we all know our idols are very, very far away from our grasps. And the only thing we can give them is support, by supporting the choices they make. And even though Arashi has always been more like friends and brothers to me , and that I see them as forever singles , I, too want them to be happy and have real people by their sides for the rest of their lives. People who truely know them, and who truely loves them. An...

I'm currently busy with my new obsession, that is, AKB48. The damn girls have been growing on me lately, but of course, I won't forget my number one obsession, Arashi. And after their latest Arashi ni Shiyagare episode, I want to do a post on my thoughts on the new format of AniShi after its renewal recently. I find the current format to be really good, and definitely much better than their last one. It is more similar to the show's first format, it's fun, nostalgic, yet different and better , with the members getting out there, yet without losing its original purpose, that is, for the members to do challenges. I especially am also very very very grateful and thankful to Arashi for getting rid of the food porn section that they always do on every single episode. I'm not saying they don't do it anymore, but they have limited that stuff, and that makes me happy. No need for that shit when they could do something else more interesting. The setting (the studi...

Title:「ウロボロス〜この愛こそ、正義。」 Run time: 2015.01.16 - 03.20, Friday 10pm I just finished this drama and I find it worth mentioning. I won't say this is a review, it's just my thoughts and opinions. I already said that I'm a slack so I can't be bothered to go on a long detailed description on what the drama is about. But basically, it's about these two boys, Ikuo Ryuusaki and Danno Tatsuya, who saw their teacher from their orphanage, Yuiko-sensei, murdered by some powerful unknown, and spends 20 years to rise their own ranks in society in order to track down whoever killed their beloved teacher and bring justice to her. But while secrets begins to unfold, well, tragedies strikes. It stars Ikuta Toma as Ryusaaki and Oguri Shun as Tatsuya. (Yep, my boys) And in a story with two male leads, of course, there will be a female lead. But she don't interest me so I'm not even gonna. Anyway, I found the cast, the acting performances, the script, the directing, th...
