Comments:
I watched this drama today. It didn't take so long because this has only 8 episodes. This drama has a good actors and interesting story because it isn't typical school drama. I would recommend this for everyone but especially for those who likes kisses. I haven't seen any other drama or movie or anything having so much kissing in it. Poor Yusuke for having to kiss so many people for this. 

Blog six months old

Now it has been little over six months that I have been keeping this blog. At first I just started it for my own fun but now after so much time and not so many post I hope this blog has been useful to others also. Maybe this is only my wishful thinking because I don't know what people are thinking about my blog. I hope someone would comment and tell me is it so or has it really helped somebody discover information or better encouraged to watch a new drama.
By the way I have birthday this month but I am not telling which day it is. :D

Running Man 166 - The heirs


Choi Jin Hyuk, Kim Woo Bin and Park Shin Hye came to Running Man to promote their new drama The Heirs. The theme for this episode is of course heirs. The cast is divided in two like in the picture.

My boring life

I haven't been here in long time. I have little bit of life crisis, first I don't know what I am doing with school and two I have problem with my living arrangement I may have to move to an another apartment still during this year plus other problems I am not listing here because it would be too long of list. Also nobody wouldn't be interested in every thing that happens in my life. I have being thinking my life so hard these last two weeks that I going insane. I don't know anymore why I enrolled this school. Maybe I was too in a hurry to find some direction to my life and it sounded like something I would be interested to do for my life. But after a year being there I don't anymore. Why life has to be so hard. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
As I have been thinking my life and why I am who I am now. This is like my life in secondary school but I am not popular now. That part is not from my life.

I like especially the part...
Always on the lookout for someone to hate,
Picking on me like a dinner plate
so like my life and
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
But you were always popular,
Lyrics:
La la, la la
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
Standing on the field with your pretty pompom
Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
'Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song
I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song

[Chorus:]
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
But you were always popular,
You were singing all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
'Cause my song is popular

Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know

Catch up 'cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up 'cause you got an awful long way to go

Always on the lookout for someone to hate,
Picking on me like a dinner plate
You hid during classes, and in between
Dunked me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans them
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Ooh, the joke's on you
Got everyone laughing, got everyone clapping, asking,
"How come you look so cool?"
'Cause that's the only thing that I've learned at school, boy (uh huh)
I said that that's the only thing that I've learned at school

[Chorus:]
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
But you were always popular,
You were singing all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
'Cause my song is popular

Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know
(that's all you ever need to know)

Catch up 'cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up 'cause you got an awful long way to go

It's all you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
It's all you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
(It's all you ever need to know)
It's all you ever need to know

Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were

Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do is be true to you.
That's all you ever need to know...
(That's all you ever need to know...)

G-DRAGON - COUP D'ETAT MV

G-DRAGON - COUP D'ETAT M/V

This is super good. GD makes better and better music every time. I like GD's new look, long hair suits him well. The music video has a little darker look than his other videos like CRAYON. Best scene for me is definitely the wall full of masks and when they start to cry then GD appears with his face painted black. In that scene he look like a really handsome devil. The picture in the end of the music video, peace sign that is missing one of the lines, is so cleverly though because like the name of the song tells the song is about revolution. The song's rhythm is slow but it's still really catchy. I have to admit this is my favorite so far from GD.

The song's lyrics starts with important message. Especially the third line:
People
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution is in your mind
The revolution is here


Heechul is back!

HEECHUL IS BACK!
My bias is back!

I have waited this almost two years. Finally he is back from the army. He even got a award for being exemplary public service officer. Wow, oppa good job.
I can't get enough of his instagram post. Especially the video where he is wearing cat hoodie and making all king of faces. I'm so happy ^_^

No time

Today I started re-watch anime Skip Beat!. I have seen it before so I know it is really funny and it will cheer me up. My posting here haven't been much but hope I can find more time to do it. My next posts are going to be about Running Man episodes and new dramas I have started watching.

Running Man 156

Guests: 2NE1
Theme of this episode is aliens. Running Man cast and 2NE1 is trying to gather 21 little water by doing mission in three different locations and in one final location. This is super funny episode it makes you laugh for sure. This episode is must see for 2NE1 fans.
In addition to 2NE1 being guest Taeyang (BIGBANG) makes appearance.
The third location is YG corporation's headquarters.
In the third location there is also other YG artist giving mission.

Running Man 155-153

Now I am up to date with watching Running Man episodes. I just finished episode 155.
Episode 155 has Suzy (Miss A) as a guest. 155 wasn't so funny as others but I don't say it wasn't as entertaining. The episode challenges your reasoning skills and it has little bit horror in it.
Episode 154 guests are Sulli (f(x)), soccer player Park Ji-sung and soccer player Patrice Evra also Minho (SHINee) makes a little appearance. 153 guests are Sulli (f(x)), soccer player Park Ji-sung and soccer player Koo Ja-cheol. Episodes 154 and 153 have soccer theme. In the end of 154 Asian Dream Cup is played. From Running Man cast there is four playing instead of two like last year. These two episodes are super funny and they show very well cast members soccer skills. In 153 they are training soccer and fighting from tickets to the Cup in two teams lead by the soccer players. In 154 they are fighting from the remaining tickets to get to play in the Cup.
I am waiting for the next episode to come where 2NE1 is going to be guest.

DramaCrazy and AnimeCrazy RIP?

Now I am angry, sad and lonely at the same time. I usually watch dramas and anime everyday from DramaCrazy and AnimeCrazy sites but not anymore. Why, because those sites where closed two days ago and I got to know it now because I have been away from computer this week All you get from entering those sites http://www.dramacrazy.net/ and http://www.animecrazy.net/ is a blank page with note from the staff saying they closed the site and that you can share your love on a new Facebook page that is shown on below. No reasons no explanations why it had to come to this.




















I want to know why you took a big part of my life away. For me this feels like one of my friends has died. These sites where place for me to relax and forget my life and myself for a while. They were also place where I could learn something from different cultures and their language. DramaCrazy and AnimeCrazy were sites that helped my Japanese to get better also.

So whats with the Facebook pages. Why should I go there to read others disappointed comments and pleads for you to open the sites again if that is not going to happen. Didn't you know already how many fans did you have or should I say had for you to start testing it now with closing the sites. Because what I saw from the Facebook pages everybody is trying to find new sites to use. If the sites were forced to close because of some law again like others sites why didn't you say so everyone could have understood. But why the Facebook pages. Cos if it's for the community why did you create new ones you already have Facebook pages. Or are the pages some kind of petition to get the sites up again. Or are the pages made so someone gets list of next potentials sites to close. These are all my speculations so they can be really far from the truth but the lack of explanations gifts room for these. Maybe it is also my frustration speaking because something that was almost four years part of  my life is now rip away. So I think it is reasonable to be confused of what do next. I hope I recover from this. 

P.S.
I am till secretly hoping for these sites to do comeback. Please bring back the joy of my life.


Watching

Now I am starting to watch Running Man episodes because I have fallen behind and I have quite few episodes to watch to catch up. For those who don't know what Running Man is: It is South Korean variety show that has fixed cast and also almost every episode has guest stars. It is super funny and you should watch it if you already haven't.

Fan convention

I am back from the fan convention. I had very fun time there with my friends. I bought lots of stuff from there, manga and DVDs for example. One thing I am sad about is that I didn't have the time to do the cosplay I originally wanted so I did cosplay of Morgiana from Magi but that went well too. 
I edited the post about Being Human and I thought that I could write more about others stuff in here too.

Henry - Trap MV

This is Super Junior Henry's solo debut mini album's title track.
I love the idea of using the piano a lot in the music video it kind of wouldn't even made sense if there weren't piano because of the sound of the song. You can see that Henry is talented piano player from the video. In this song there are Kyuhyun and Taemin in it too. Kyuhyun doesn't show up so much in the video compared to Taemin in my opinion. I like the outfits a lot too the hip-hop kind of look fits the video surprising well.


Other Stuff

I am almost at the end of TV series Being Human. I have couple episodes left to watch. I watched TV series Being Human. Yes, I do watch, read and listen other things than only East Asian. I, apart from liking Japanese and Korean stuff, like vampires a lot so that is why I watched this.
Being Human is TV series about vampire, werewolf and ghost living together as a roommates. They are trying to live just like humans. Vampire trying to cope without blood, werewolf trying not to hurt anyone on a full moon and ghost trying to discover the purpose of it's existence. The series starts by friends Mitchell vampire (Aidan Turner) and George werewolf (Russell Tovey) moving in a "haunted" house to discover Annie ghost (Lenora Crichlow) living there. There comes many problems to disturb their lives like vampires pushing blood drinking, werewolves living hating vampires and ghosts with powers. The final season ended this year making it fifth seasons total. The pilot episode has different actors for vampire and ghost so if you want to avoid disappointment don't watch that. I got over my disappointment very fast because I recognized  that Aidan Turner is the actor of on of the dwarfs in the Hobbit called Kili.

I decided to write about other stuff, that Asian, also in this blog but the blog is still going to be most about Asian things in the end. I don't know about this anymore, I am just going to write about everything that interest me at the time so I don't really know what this blog is most going to be about. So yeah, that is one change for this blog also. Not posting only about Asian stuff but also anything other that I am interested. One info to everyone if you haven't already noticed that English isn't my first language. I hope there aren't many mistakes in my posts.

Beginning of Summer

I haven't posted anything for a while. I have been so caught on watching dramas on my free time. I am on a summer vacation like I told before, but I am also trying to get money so that I could go to a one fan convention that is held in this month. So I have also been busy working on my summer job. But I am trying to post more often now because I have solved couple of things that were slowing my summer plans from getting started. I also want to go to a certain music festival that is next month. So I have some plans for my summer but I still have plenty of time to be on computer. I made minor changes to the appearance of the blog but I am not sure if you can even spot them. Next post coming soon. :D

Piece

Piece is 13 episodes long Japanese drama that came in the end of 2012.

Description:
Three years ago, Narumi Hikaru and Suga Mizuho were in love and would meet in secret for several months in the second year of high school. It started casually and ended casually. Hikaru and Mizuho were alike in their inabilities to grasp their distance from others or to be interested in another person; poor at the way they get involved with other people. The two of them should not have met again, but the news of the sudden death of a high school classmate Origuchi Haruka from cancer brings them together again. Mizuho undertakes the search for the unknown boyfriend from high school to fulfil the wishes of the Haruka’s mother, who believes that she is her daughter’s good friend. Hikaru and Mizuho are now university students, and changes have come upon their relationship. They look back at the past, meet many people again and as they pick up various pieces of love, they get close to the true face of the unseen person. -- DramaWiki

Opening of the drama.

Full song of the opening. Yuma Nakayama - Missing Piece


I don't know why I didn't watch this earlier. This is so good drama. I like the actor Yuma Nakayama who plays Narumi Hikaru. I have also seen drama Koishite Akuma where he is also acting and I liked that drama also very much. The interaction between Suga and Narumi is something I would love to have with someone. Maybe because of that this drama was something I couldn't stop watching before I got to the end.

Also one thing this drama introduced to me, was good music. In the episodes there are songs from band called Matchbox Twenty. The song are from the album North.
Matchbox Twenty - Overjoyed

Matchbox Twenty - I Will

Matchbox Twenty - Parade
The lyrics of this song are almost like telling my life story.

Lyrics:
When the slow parade went past
When it felt so good you knew it couldn't last
And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning
And you'd have to just go home

And the way it all went by
When somebody said "come on its getting late"
And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
And now you wish that you had stayed

And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out

Oh no
There's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don't want that parade to leave you now (right now)

And the days are all the same
And the town so big and no one knows your name
And the people fade away
And all stars are just a flicker
And you're left there all alone

When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out

Oh no
There's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don't want that parade to leave you now

When the music's over
But the song stays in your head

Oh no
There's so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don't want that parade to leave you now

Yeah
There's so much more that you need to work out
Yeah
And you don't want that parade to leave you now

Now I am going to continue drama Sprout because i read somewhere that this drama and Sprout has the same makers.

INFINITE Ranking King

I have been INFINITE's fan almost from the beginning.
I haven't watched many shows where they are, but this really opened my eyes about their chemistry as a group and how their personalities are. I guess from the pics you can immediately tell that I like L and Hoya the most from INFINITE.
I love horror movies so episodes 11, 12 and 13 were so funny to me and I liked those the best. This show is must to watch if you are fan of INFINITE but you also get a good laughs if you aren't.

All the links are from YouTube.
I don't own the links, videos or YouTube accounts.
I just found the links and wanted to put them here for people who want to watch the show.

Thoughts about Kogure Shashinkan

Kogure Shashinkan is an very good drama even if it just four episodes long. When I have watched short drama series I usually think it should have been longer or that there where some things uncleared, not in this case. When I were watching the third episode I had the thought that they wouldn't be able to clear all the things before the end. But I were wrong. It was the best conclusion that I have ever seen in a short drama. Ryunosuke Kamiki is just so good  for this role and he is good actor. I like him and this drama a lot. I recommend this drama to everyone who likes dramas about family, school life and friendship and of course dramas where Ryunosuke Kamiki is acting.

All the photos are from episode 4.





Soon summer vacation

School is ending soon and summer vacation starts. Then I have more time to watch dramas and anime. Like I don't already do that all my free time.
I was searching new dramas to watch and I found couple. This season has a lots of good dramas airing.
One drama that stuck to my mind is new drama called Kazoku Game and no it isn't because it has Ryunosuke Kamiki in it but because the plot is interesting and different. Something I have never seen before in this kind of a drama is that home tutor is hurting the student instead helping. That doesn't sound good but it is all I am going to say about the plot now.
But really I have only seen first episode and I'm craving for more. Ryunosuke Kamiki has also different kind of role than I have seen him play before. It is interesting to see how good this drama is going to turn out but I'm liking it so far.

Black Rock Shooter

Today I watched in a one go anime called Black Rock Shooter. It has 8 episodes and ova that appeared two years earlier. Black Rock Shooter is a different kind of anime than the anime i usually watch. The ova was in my opinion more clearer than the anime series but it is so short so prefer the series. BRS has really good sounding song as opening so I just had to find the full song on Youtube. The description is taken straight from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Rock_Shooter


Description:
The OVA focuses on a girl named Mato Kuroi, who befriends another girl, Yomi Takanashi, upon entering school. As the two start to drift apart, with Yomi becoming jealous of Mato's friendship with Yuu Kotari, Yomi suddenly disappears. As Mato searches for her, she is taken to a strange world where she meets the mysterious Black Rock Shooter, who merges with her and helps her search for Yomi, fighting off the evil Dead Master who possessed her. The television series uses the same characters from the OVA in a similar but slightly different storyline. As Mato enters middle school and becomes friends with Yomi, she soon faces personal troubles and the influence caused by another world where Black Rock Shooter fights other girls.

Kogure Shashinkan

I found this new drama called Kogure Shashinkan (Kogure Photo Studio) and I already love it even if there hasn't been more than two episodes out yet. I only started to watch the drama because on Ryunosuke Kamiki but continued because of the drama in it self is good. I have seen his other drama 11 Nin mo Iru! and I like it too. This drama kind of remind me of 11 Nin mo Iru!


The drama is about Hanabishi family and their first son Eiichi (Ryunosuke Kamiki) who is a high school student. They move in to a old house that has been a photo shop before owned by old man who died so the shop was sold. One day, a neighbor, who is also a high school student, shows him a picture because that picture was developed at the photo studio. In the picture, there is a family and woman crying at the back. The woman looks more like a spirit than an actual person. Eiichi starts to investigate the story behind that photo with the help of Nobuko Kakimoto, who works at the real estate office which introduced the Kogure Photo Studio to his family. Eiichi also gets his family and friends involved in solving the mysterious puzzle.




You Are My Pet

Today I watched again movie called You Are My Pet. I had seen the japanese drama version before i watched this for the first time in 2011 when the movie came. I only watched it because i knew from the japanese version that the plot was good and of course because of Jang Keun Suk. This movie is good to watch on days you wand to cheer you up or just laugh. I like this movie very much. I think Jang Keun Suk did a really good work on acting this kind of role.


Description: A woman finds a man in a box in front of her home and takes him in. She jokingly says she wants to keep him as her pet since the man reminds her childhood dog. The man agrees. Later the woman discovers that the man is a dance prodigy. Complications arise when her old flame from college appears. (from DramaCrazy)










Here are some poster of the movie:

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

I were surfing on a site jpopasia and i came across music video that i had seen couple weeks ago. I have seen all of her other music videos too. This is her newest one. I kind of like the ninja style in the video but the music isn't as catchy as in the videos PONPONPON and Tsukematsukeru. Actually I like her first and second music video the most. These are her music videos, I put the newest on the top.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Ninjya Re Bang Bang

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Furisodeshon

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Fashion Monster

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Tsukematsukeru

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - PONPONPON

Jin Akanishi - Aphrodisiac

When I was editing the template I was listening this song on the background. When I first time heard this song last year I was totally hooked. 

Jin Akanishi - Aphrodisiac feat. Static Revenger 

Lyrics: 

Move like a fool
But it looks so cool
It's all about mood
Hell yea I'm good

She likes my move
In the dark I'm smooth
Man, it's a brand new moment I have with you

When your feeling sinks
Just let me move your tide
I'd risk the moon and stars
If I can have your sky

God are you kidding me? 
So sick of knowing
How much I'm wanting now

Your my aphrodisiac ha ahh
Yea I feel so damn high ha ahh
Your my aphrodisiac ha ahh
Feels like I'm on something new
Just feel so alive ha ahh
Your my aphrodisiac ha ahh
You got me oh so bright
Tonight is the night
Yea I feel so damn high ha ahh
Yea I feel so damn right

I'm into you
I think I probably should
Spend my night with you
This how we do

I like you move
Let my beats go through
Girl play around with me, I ain't go no where

When you feeling sinks
Just let me move your tide
I'd risk the moon and stars
If I can have your sky

God are you kidding me? 
So sick of knowing
How much I'm wanting now

Your my aphrodisiac ha ahh
Yea I feel so damn high ha ahh
Your my aphrodisiac ha ahh
Feels like I'm on something new
Just feel so alive ha ahh
Your my aphrodisiac ha ahh
You got me oh so bright
Tonight is the night
Yea I feel so damn high ha ahh
Yea I feel so damn right

Your my aphrodisiac ha ahh
Yea I feel so damn high ha ahh
Your my aphrodisiac ha ahh
Feels like I'm on something new
Just feel so alive ha ahh
Yea I feel so damn right
