are you sure you cast a right person?

Before I began ranting, let me remind you again and again (tho I think my loyal readers of this blog may had it known already) that I am a Tobikko and to be specific if I had to pick who's my favourite member, I can't pick one. Instead, I have two favourite members and they are Yamada Ryosuke and Chinen Yuri.

smile all you can because after this angst coming up. *smirks*

And ... I am still new to 'Ansatsu Kyoshitsu' slash 'Assassination Classroom' fandom. Be it manga, anime series, OVA or even the upcoming live action movie. 

When the cast list for 'Ansatsu Kyoshitsu' live action movie was announced in August 2014, I am having mixed feelings as a Tobikko. Seeing more and more members joining Chinen in the Cinema Club (when you are reading this, Nakajima Yuto is currently filming his debut movie 'Pink and Gray' that slated to premiere in cinemas next year) made me happy because finally! JUMP is going to cinemas!

But I came across this comment in one of the articles in AramaJapan and trust me, I cannot help but to agree. 

credit pic goes to AramaJapan

BUT! Bear in mind that at that time I had NO IDEA about Ansatsu fandom. Okay.

So I browsed mangafox.com, try reading the said manga online and while reading, I imagined it with the already announced cast for the live action movie. Also try imagining how was it like for Chinen Yuri to be Shiota Nagisa. 

I had been Tobikko since 2009 and knowing that any JUMP member taking challenging roles in dramas, movies, drama SPs, heck even stage play is actually spelling 'fresh start for adult!JUMP'. Yes, who does not like your bias taking roles that he never done before, huh? That is called versatility, right. When you talking about JUMP members do dramas and drama SPs, of course you are imagining them taking 'student' roles, ALL THE TIME! Boring~ less challenging at all! 

Even Hikaru's role in IDN and Chinen's role in 'Sprout' also considered bleh~ to me. 

Speaking about Chinen, he had done 'bad boy' role ever since he guest starred in 'Yukan Club'. But it was 'Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata ~ Ending Planner~'s Ihara Hayato that bring new definition of 'bad boy role' to Chinen and trust me, he is killing the role so asdfghjkl~. I say that was a turning point of his acting. While Yamada is still being a student (and detective, I must add) until recently ended 'Kindaichi Neo'. He had not reached his turning point of his acting yet, but on 21st March 2015, it will be a turning point for his acting resume. 

Now back to the pics I attached. I read the manga and this is my rant. 

Yes sir, I totally agree that it somehow wrong to cast Yamada Ryosuke as Shiota Nagisa for that movie, considering this is his first time in movies plus he is the lead in the said movie. Chinen should be doing Nagisa, considering he too suits the role of the 'girly but got undesirable bloodlust' character. 'Girly-look' is Yamada and Chinen's middle name anyway. *shrugs* XDDD

just to emphasize, Yamada came up first and Chinen came up fourth in 'Goo's Most Beautiful Johnny's talent under 25' 

Considering the experiences, Chinen has more experiences in movies than Yamada. 

BUT! I also agree that they are casting Yamada for that role. Okay. No offence to those who wanted him to be Nagisa. He himself look like come out from the manga anyway. 

The thing is when it comes to eye candy and rating, Yamada has that 'talent' to attract the viewers to watch the movie. Chinen do have the same 'talent' okay, they are being hated once by fans because being too overrated during NYC era imho. And I simply don't agree with this comment down there, saying Chinen cannot act. HELL THAT GUY CAN ACT LIKE HOW COME HE IS THE FIRST ONE TO BE IN SILVER SCREEN THAN YAMADA? Tell me. Hm. *side-eyeing*

Alright, maybe he had been stiff and bland in some of his early dramas but he is doing better as the drama projects coming up, My favourite role of him aside in 'Ending Planner' was of course, in 'Hissatsu Shigotonin 2014'. Hands down! But please I beg you, do not.ever.compared.him.with.Yamada. That was the worst thing in JUMPsville you can do, ok. 

If you are being in the JUMP fandom long enough, you do know how much Yamada wanted to defeat Chinen in so many ways.  

The conclusion is, both of them suit the role of Shiota Nagisa. Just the production team had so many reasons why they pick Yamada Ryosuke than Chinen Yuri. Only they knew why they decided to cast Yamada to be Nagisa. They are professionals. Who are we to blame? Are you going to defy the professionals? They knew what are they doing. Let them be.

I am sure in 2015, Chinen will got himself another challenging role that sure shut you haters' mouth up from judging his acting skills. Peace. 

End of my rant.

4th Gen sure is the best thing happened in the Kindaichi saga.

Considering it had been 7 years since the last time Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo (either SP Drama or drama series) aired in NTV, this is (maybe) the best way to end Kindaichi saga. I said 'saga' other than franchise because hell yeah this one had been bugging NTV since 1996 and it had seen many changes either in many types of presentation. OVA, anime series, live action movie, live action drama series, live action drama special, just name it. Also, it had shown its growth through 4 generations of Kindaichi Hajime (and Nanase Miyuki IMO) which consists of a great chemistry between lucky Johnny's idols and some currently on demand actresses.

People that grew up with Kindaichi saga since 1996 might know that 1st gen of Kindaichi Hajime and Nanase Miyuki live action version had been portrayed by Kinki Kids's Domoto Tsuyoshi and Tomosaka Rie, followed by 2nd gen consisting of the combination of Arashi's Matsumoto Jun and Suzuki Anne way back in 2001. As 2005 appears, Kindaichi saga got his 3rd gen Kindaichi and Miyuki in the form of KAT-TUN's Kamenashi Kazuya and Ueno Juri, in which my favourite Miyuki so far just because she is cute, LOL . After that Kindaichi saga was put up to rest until they don't know how long. At least for the fans. 

What the fans don't know that since 2007 the Kindaichi team (be it the mangaka, the scriptwriter, the screenwriter) had been eyeing Yamada Ryosuke as their next Kindaichi Hajime but they have to wait until 5 years for Yamada to be old and sexy and hot and asdfghjkl but still short (kidding) enough to be 4th gen Kindaichi Hajime. Knowing how insecure Yamada fangirls is, the team sure had a little bit hard time to find the suitable actress to fit the 4th gen of Nanase Miyuki. But yeah, to hell with that and they are ready to announce the official 4th gen of Kindaichi Hajime and Nanase Miyuki is none other than Hey! Say! JUMP's Yamada Ryosuke and Kawaguchi Haruna.

Who wouldn't have thought that the tandem continues for two specials and one drama series. That equals as two years. Two years are enough for both Yamada and Haruna to build an unforgettable chemistry any Hajime x Miyuki shippers could dream of since 1996. Really, some of us ship them IRL. Because, face it! They are so cute together! Awwww~

In honor of the Hajime x Miyuki tandem, also the new tandem I called YamaHaru (and apparently almost all Yamada x Haruna shipper approved the namesquish *smiles proudly*) I had handpicked some songs to fit their background story and their personalities inside and outside Kindaichi Neo drama set. Because, again. Face it! They are so asdfghjkl cute together inside and outside the set and I wont complain if they end up really dating IRL *runs away* .

1. G-Dragon: Crooked

I know that this is a 'post-breakup' song, but who cares about the lyrics when the music is way cheerful and showing the happiness and excitement of having a new life. I was looking for a song that suit the first romance encounter this 4th Gen Hajime x Miyuki had done in Kindaichi saga, to be specific; Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo: Gokumon Juku Satsujin Jiken drama special that aired in 4th January 2014. The fact that they have their first romance scenes as a 4th Gen Kindaichi and Miyuki in Malaysia just made Malaysian Tobikkos especially Kindaichi fans proud yo.  

2. Siti Nurhaliza : Jaga Dia Untukku

I wished this song would release in English version because damn. This song tells the prayers and hopes for the loved ones to be safe wherever they are, what are they doing and more. It suits Hajime x Miyuki well because we know Hajime had been doing his best in solving crimes that sometimes in order for him to look for the truth, he had almost got himself hurt and in a dangerous situation.

3. Pitbull feat. Shakira: Get It Started

Let me just make the reason why this song is chosen, simple. Takato a.k.a Narimiya Hiroki finally made his appearance in eps 5 onwards and ofc what could this evil mastermind can do other than making Hajime's life hard, LOL. And what's better to threat Hajime other than using Miyuki as a bait, deshou? Cliche, but in 4th gen case, na-ah.

4. T-ara: Don't Leave

Damn, I fell for this song in an instant. Surprisingly this song is coupling with 'Day by Day' from T-ara which I made into my own 'Sprout soundtrack list' two years ago. This song tells the story of a girl to beg her partner to not leave her for she love him so much. In every episode, we can see how obvious that Miyuki had feelings for Hajime and vice versa (and a biased opinion: YamaHaru did that super well asdfghjkl thanks to two drama specials *runs*)

5. Shakira: Dare

And nope, not the World Cup version. It's the original version. Listen to the lyrics and you'll know the difference. Why is this song in the list? Did I told you I ship YamaHaru IRL? Add a little bit glamour stars, idols and voila.

6. Enrique Iglesias: Finally Found You

This song (I know the music video is so 18+) is chosen because of the lyrics. As the episode progressed for this drama, the love feeling between Hajime and Miyuki is getting obvious. It was way obvious when in episode 7. Go watch that episode and be dazzled and connect it to the lyrics in this song. On the side note, I think both actors are doing the romance part better in each episode. A little bit biased opinion don't you think? I don't know the other generations but I trust MatsuJun and his partner to do the romance as better as YamaHaru too.

With that, I conclude my fanmade OST for Kindaichi Neo. If you guys are interested on my review on the whole drama, wait for it. For now~ let the GIF talk. 

And a FMV, if you may. My all time favourite Hajime x Miyuki a.k.a YamaHaru FMV ever. (and believe me, this FMV came out like three days after final episode of Kindaichi Neo aired.)

all videos and GIF, I give credit to the owners. I own nothing other than my biased opinions.

They came to Malaysia without telling us, but whatever!

Consider I am late because only in March I am able to watch Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo: Gokumon Juku Satsujin Jiken. Let’s just say, unlike Kindaichi Hong Kong Kowloon, no one so far had done hardsubs for Kindaichi Gokumon. And you can say I am expecting them to air it in one of the Malaysian TV channel because the filming was done in Malaysia and the production collaborated with Media Prima to complete filming in Malaysia. So, if any TV channel in Media Prima did not air Kindaichi Gokumon, they don’t have to accept the invitation to collaborate from the production. Simple. :P Anyway, this is my second time watching and compared to the first time, it has subs in Malay and yes, it was aired in ntv7, a Malaysian TV channel under Media Prima. J

yes, being aired in Malaysian TV with original Japanese dubbed. thank you.

Anyway, back to the Kindaichi Gokumon. In short, this SP tells the story of the trio (you know who they are, LOL) attending a summer prep school organized by Gokumon Academy and the venue for summer prep school this year is in Malaysia. Murder occurrences happened during their stay in Malaysian forests where the summer prep school was held where 6 students were killed during their stay. Kindaichi suspecting Puppeteer, his archenemy is the one behind the murder.

Now to the reviews. Unlike Kindaichi Hong Kong Kowloon, Kindaichi Gokumon is way complex and way confusing if you were not focusing from the beginning of the story. Which is why Kindaichi Hong Kong got some unpleasant reviews. Injustice, I must say, because Hong Kong Kowloon case looks like too simple. Gokumon, however, there are lots of details had been pointed out and planned carefully to bring the excitement and the thrill of solving the most detailed case ever. Each and every alibi was made to make it look like it was made but it was actually isn’t there. And the watchers were involuntary invited to think together with Kindaichi on how to solve the case. It’s complicated, almost as the same as most cases in CSI US edition. I myself, after two times watching, tho I know who is the culprit, I still don’t get it on how those details connected. Maybe because I wasn’t focusing too much during the SP, gah!

The characters, however there are contradictions between the live action SP and the manga. Or maybe it is just me, because all characters are working well. Saki Ryuji (a.k.a Arioka Daiki of popular idol group, Hey! Say! JUMP *for those who don’t know who the heck it is, LOL*) had his spotlight in here as his character is the one who was attended the same prep school the year before and the witness of the bullying incidents happened in that prep school. Once again Kindaichi Hajime and Nanase Miyuki (a.k.a Yamada Ryosuke and Kawaguchi Haruna) were not that much exposed in this SP but it was a little bit justice in Kindaichi’s part because the Puppeteer (a.k.a everyone’s favourite sexy villain actor, Narimiya Hiroki *flails*) is the one inviting him to the prep school. I did said in Kindaichi Hong Kong Kowloon review that both Kindaichi and Yamada aren’t exposed well in the said SP. In Kindaichi Gokumon, Kindaichi’s taking part in a lot of the occurrence thus making justice of this notable character since he is the main character. Also, this is a teen detective SP. TEEN detective SP. So, expect some romance scenes. Or it is just Kindaichi and Miyuki having a long distance relationship (sort of, LOL) and Saki just praised his senpai because he is able to stay strong despite the so called ‘long distance relationship’. Does Saki doesn’t know that his senpai is just too afraid to admit that he is in love with his own childhood girlfriend this made those remarks? Duh, it was so obvious, you genius brat!

and I strongly believe Miyuki also felt the same to Kindaichi. 

Speaking about the cast lists. The trio, once again consists of notable faces from all around Asia, including Amy Mastura from Malaysia. Hey, that’s fine tho! We are okay with it, tho we want Aaron Aziz too. LOL. Narimiya Hiroki joined the cast list as Kindaichi’s nemesis, is just so perfect. Way perfect. I don’t know how evil is this Takao guy but I am sure the productions had done well in picking Narimiya-kun. Really. He’s the best! And I am not biased!

In my opinion, you cannot feel the ultimate evil unless if this person is emitting it. Ne, Nari-san~

Another person I would like to point out is Arioka Daiki. Being sidekick is just boring, I know. He had done well doing that in Kindaichi Hong Kong Kowloon. In Kindaichi Gokumon, I was expecting him to go beyond ‘being Kindaichi’s genius realistic sidekick’ and he got that throughout the involuntary involvement of Saki Ryuji in the case as the one who had attended the prep school before. Again, if you believe in rumours, I still prefer him over Chinen Yuri for Saki Ryuji’s role. He had the ‘Saki Ryuji’ more in him than Chinen. Period. (And believe me, I am still laughing over the rumoured cast during Kindaichi Hong Kong Kowloon era in which they predicted Jang Geun Suk, Chinen Yuri and Kawaguchi Haruna in the cast list! They were right about Haruna ONLY! *rolling on the floor laughing*).

Daiki: ZRC-chan! Say that again and I'll punish you. I am serious.

No, you can't. I'll always bring this fact up everytime I talk about Kindaichi ok. Bear with it. 

Kudos also to other casts too like Wu Chun and Kazuki Kitamura. I also praised the actor who played the role of Doujima-sensei too. As for Yamada and Haruna, I must say, the chemistry between the two characters is getting better compared to Kindaichi Hong Kong Kowloon. Both of them aren’t that awkward against each other and as the romance part, god, I felt the ‘kyun’ even though it wasn’t portrayed straightforward and obvious but you know obviously that they had a ‘thing’ on each other. Nah! Kindaichi and Miyuki, I mean~ *runs away*

and I am expecting any developments after Hong Kong Kowloon but nah~ 

Girls, IDC if you guys are jealous but Haruna is one lucky girl and she is my girl and she had Yamada. So? *shrugs*

What else? The theme song? It’s ‘Ride with Me’ by Hey! Say! JUMP. One word. Eargasm. Especially if you love the traditional fusion type of music that m-flo always done in their songs. I don’t want to say much, have a listen to it.

Not the best quality. But be surprised because no one had deleted this vid yet. 

Overall, this new installment of Kindaichi is better compared to Kindaichi Hong Kong Kowloon. No offence but I love this more. Next installment, please. Make Kindaichi and Miyuki confess to each other then. If they had to kiss, do it! *evil laugh* and I bet you, it’s all ‘Harry Potter’s first kiss feeling’ thing coming in you if that happens. Really. Except if you are jealous enough of either both because Haruna is a lucky girl and Yamada is your ‘precious’ idol. *shrugs* Byebye~

Hajime: Did ZRC-chan told you that we'll be back, more funny, more genius, and more pervert? *get whacked by Miyuki*  

And I would like to take the opportunity to tell you that the hottest trio in town will make a comeback to your small screen and filling your Saturday night feels. Catch 'Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo N (Neo), starting 19th July 2014, with two-hours first episode special, Saturdays, 9 pm (JST) only on NTV. 

p/s: I am starting to lost my writing skills. teehee~ bear with me.

practically everyone knows that red means sexy ...

... and when it comes to the 'everyone's-already-turning-20-years-old' Hey! Say! JUMP ...

I have no words. This is the first time I felt speechless over a JUMP PV. Honestly speaking, I am really not a fan of this song and it will still be like that. However, I am liking the PV to the max. LOL! Kajiura Yuki must be proud.

Kajiura Yuki, fyi, is nothing related to anything from JUMP or 'AinoArika'. He's one of the best anime song composers in Japan. Most of the time he performed in a hall, in which the place is being used for this PV shooting. 

Now, please perform at Sydney Opera Hall or Petronas Philharmonic Hall, for real!

'AinoArika' is JUMP's 12th single and it was set to be the main theme for TBS Tuesday midnight drama, "Dark System ~The Battle of Love~" starring Yaotome Hikaru and Inoo Kei.

The single will release on 5th February, so save your angpows! Watch the short version PV here before someone take it down!

p/s: like usual, OkaJima being so sneaky.  I don't even know where they are. But for now, let the picture speak.

Yamada: Yes, I'm gorgeous. Your arguments are invalid. *smug face*

Putting the number '2' in front of your age means a LOT!

It's 2013. Someone was anticipating this post since 2009. 4 years? Gawd. Whoever it is, there. I made the birthday post today after 4 years. *sigh*

Look, Yamada Ryosuke maybe is my bias but the only birthday post I managed to make in this blog is Chinen Yuri. Double-standard much? Or maybe just because I am already in love with Chinen after his major breakout performance in 'Sprout'?

p/s: the blog owner's pen name is ZRC-chan a.k.a Zarel Ryosuke Chinen for OBVIOUS reasons. Until now she still can't choose in between Yamada and Chinen.

Wait! Why am I rambling about other people in this post when the major subject here is the Golden Boy itself? But Chinen is co-Golden Boy so, it counts?

Kindaichi: NO!

Okay, fine. Why is Kindaichi answering it? *tilts head*

Yamada: Because THE Yamada Ryosuke is busy...

Yamada: ... with his PSP?

Okay, don't drag me too far young boy, you are no longer TEEN anymore.

See the number '2' there on your age?

Yes! You are 20 year old this year. Don't you realize how many people are waiting for the day when you turned 20, young boy? Being 20 means...you are officially legal in some countries that isn't Japan. Actually in some countries too, you are already legal. You are certified 'legal' in Japan next year. More people are waiting for it, young boy.

Thanks to your poor eyesight, you aren't able to see clearly how your fans react when you are on stage, acting seductive, sexy, and showing your half-naked state. But you know your fans like it, (you stalk us on the Net, we know!) so you keep doing it for..6 years since the day you were assigned with 'sexy image' during one episode of Shounen Club. (go find it, IDK which one, but I do know that episode exists!) 

You are also certified as JUMP detective for obvious reasons. Tantei Gakuen Q, Furuhata Chugakusei, Hidarime Tantei EYE and recently, Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo. That explains everything. But according to your ex-classmates, you are average. You self claimed that you can't do baseball, soccer, marathon and relay. (read: Johnny's Sports Day 2012)

How was your Korean, young boy? Are you a fan of 'Running Man'? LOL! Have you imagined yourself being one of Running Man's guests? We all know you got yourself lots of Kshow, Kdrama and Kmovies (maybe a full-length album of SNSD? *bricked*) stuffs on your storage disk on your electronic devices, thanks to your sisters who are KPop fans too. We all know that you watch the show online too, just like us! (IDK which translation but he did mention when he was shooting for Kindaichi in Hong Kong, he watched 'Sprout' online. Yes! That 'Sprout' drama, fellas!) Did your sister bugging you for taking Seungri's autographed photos during your Kindaichi shooting? Or maybe you are the one who begging Seungri for Taeyang's private LINE account, in which Seungri agreed to give you with lots of conditions that IDK what. 

Though your hairstyle change every IDK what period of time I should describe it but it was certain that you change hairstyle more than one time a year LOL, your face being moon face, self claimed by yourself few times a year, there is one thing that never change on you. You know your own goal to be the best. You know you are still lacking behind when in fact you are far away then other talents your age. You are being passionate with being an idol as if the trait runs in your blood (or we should say pregnancy taboo is so real because your mother go to Kinki Kids's concert when you were inside her womb. You know, the power of mother's prayer).You still the humble Yamada Ryosuke we had known since Junior days. You know how to work smart. 

But, one thing I sincerely ask from you. Please don't make your own goal pressuring you. Your bandmates are scared of your serious attitude, you know. Don't restrict yourself too much, young boy. Life is too short to be serious most of the time. 

And so, Happy 20th Birthday Yamada Ryosuke. I hope Takaki pranks you again in the concert. Or maybe it's just Chinen. 

pp/s: Get a romance drama, boy! FOR FCKING REAL, GET A ROMANCE DRAMA! If you had to be the second male in a triangle love, it's ok. Unless if the first male is Chinen, then you had no choice but to retreat.

Chinen: Three kissing scenes, Yamada. THREE KISSING SCENES.

Yuma: Can you beat that?

Yamada: I still dance like KPop idol. You know how that thing got girls' attention.

Chinen: You tell him, Narahashi-kun.

Souhei: Sure thing, Chinen-kun. *smirks*

Daiki: 2 out of 3. You lost, Yamada.

Yamada: Fiiiinnnnneeeee~~~

MV....MV everywhere~

Just few hours ago, JE via J Storm had released the short version of the anticipated solo debut single by Yamada Ryosuke, 'Mystery Virgin'.

Oh yeah.

As expected from multi-talented KPop lover idol.

This is only a short version, not the full length PV yet, but still. it deserves my review. So far what I see in this video is something that we should call 'worth to deserve this chance'. Now, if only Avex manage this guy, sure he'll be hella hit like Kis-My-FT2 (yeah, still shocked over the fact that Kis-My-1st beats JUMP World so damn far in the album ranking).

What I see here is an effort for JE to go against KPop wave. Don't bash me KPoppers, I must say, this video had shown much on how the artists' PV under J Storm had evolved and being relevant whatever music genre is taking the world now. Some fans said Yamada had been modeled to be 'the next Domoto Kouchi', his own admired senpai. But what I see here is...

Yamada could lead JE the way to 'sail the KPop wave'. 

Bias much? Whatever you said, people. This is my opinion, music-wisely.

Some things you need to point out in this PV...

1. If you are "Merlin" (yup, that TV series!) fans, you must know Morgana Pendragon right? Apparently she has a long-lost brother who currently in Japan...

evil!Yamada much, minna?

2. As a KPop fan, this by far is my favourite footage of him in this PV. 

I know this is so hard to be GIFed. Kudos to the owner.

I can't imagine how will it be when the full PV come out. Judging from the fact that all Yamada fans are beating the cat's lifespan now. 

(c) to the video and GIF owner.

121212...Happy 12.12.12

(and the contents is so not related to the title, jsyk)

But you know you can't compare the old generation and new generation.

I mean, I have never watched the first generation of Kindaichi Hajime played by Kinki Kids's Domoto Tsuyoshi. (and don't make me watch it, I know how detective story works, thanks to my stalker ninja mode searching the origins of Kindaichi franchise which surprisingly, TOTALLY, RELATED TO TANTEI GAKUEN Q in the forms of the creator)

But can we not compare him with the upcoming 'Kindaichi Hajime' a.k.a (the long awaited actor the manga creator wanted for the role for 5 years) Hey! Say! JUMP / NYC's Yamada Ryosuke?

I am not siding Yamada just because he is my ichiban (for once I am ditching Tamamori Yuta and GDragon, sorry *pouts*) but actor wisely this 19 year old Johnny's upcoming Golden Boy has about THREE (I repeat, THREE) detective roles in his resume. Surprisingly one of the roles is connected (by creator) to Kindaichi Hajime. I am sure 90% of JDrama watchers, when they saw Yamada Ryosuke, automatically they relate it to   the 'detective', thanks to his works (or maybe if you are seriously being JDrama watcher starting early 2012, you may relate him to 'Mama's boy' and 'Koala' thanks to RnM, LOL)

Enough of the rambling. To end this, I must say, can we wait until 12 January 2013 to come?

and this is how it related to the title above. Googled by the Twitter page owner himself (yes, he's the one who draw the heart on his own picture, how cute panda, LOL)

'Sprout' soundtrack

Finally, it's the end of the drama......

And as I said before, I am not really a fan of the English songs sung by a band called 'Grouplove' that featured in the drama otl. Not even a fan of "Hana Egao" tho, sorry again, Yamada *shakes head* AND WTH IS 'TSUNAGU TE TO TE' DOING HERE FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE FINAL EPISODE ENDS, HUH?

As I promised, here is my own version for 'Sprout' soundtrack. I do say that it has various kinds of songs, from KPop to English pop. And did I said there's an oldies in the list? No? Then after this you'll find out.

Those who wondering should I recommend this drama or not, well you just have to read throughout this post to find out.

1st one, it's a song that comes out to my mind after I watched the pilot episodes of 'Sprout', and also the second episodes. Yeah, the episodes, where Miku is so obsessed to find out who's the Mr. Unknown Guy who helped her during the first day of school at stairs...

....and just in time when she found him (Souhei) and very sure that it was him, she was about to fall for him when she found out that the said school footballer has a girlfriend who surprisingly....a girl that I'm sure the whole school called her 'the annoying Miyuki'.

Seeing them rabu-rabu together makes Miku think that Souhei is the one that got away from her.

And then there's Katagiri Hayato, the loner whom every girls adore in that school. Everyone wants to go out with him and he? He only has his eyes on Miku. Meanwhile the relationship between Souhei and Miyuki getting blossomed each day and night until the guy take his courage to volume up their relationship into something serious...

So as Hayato and Miku. Knowing that Miku is still waiting for Souhei, he try his best to make Miku forget about him by showing his care to her. Decided to give up on his feelings towards Souhei, Miku finally claimed that she loves Hayato like a love song. No more Souhei. Just...Hayato.

The news of Hayato and Miku dating struck Souhei out of reality. He felt like someone's taking something's important from him, but he has Miyuki, and shouldn't he happy hearing that his loner best friend finally got himself a girlfriend. Yes, he was happy but no, that girl who her family owns a boarding house he is now staying is his best friend's girlfriend? That's no way! Jealousy arise inside the young footballer as his thoughts filling with the thought that, "I don't want to see Miku being so kind to anyone else except me. Her kindness is only for me!"

Aware of that sudden attitude her boyfriend showed whenever Hayato and Miku have their rabu-rabu moment in front of them, Miyuki felt lonely. She was afraid of the fact that one day she will lose Souhei. So, she come to Hayato and hugged him, and being silent about it for some time. That day during their stay at the Ikenouchis, Miyuki claimed that she had once loved Hayato, in front of her third boyfriend up to date, Souhei. Hayato being silent and Miku..hearing that was enough to make her mesmerized. A glance through Souhei who painfully thinks that his best friend and his girlfriend had lied to him.

Though he cheerfully accept the fact that his girlfriend had once liked his best friend, Souhei was now realized that he has no longer hearts to his current girlfriend. The day when he found Hayato and Miku kissing, his heart clenched, and eventually he realized that he is now falling for Miku. Aware of that situation, Miyuki decided to give Souhei's heart a break by breaking up with him, here at the shrine where they first praying for their forever ever after love each other.

The break up effect eats Souhei up, and those problems later made him depressed. A call from his mom asked him to go back home makes the said depressed young boy bid goodbye to his housemates and the Ikenouchis. What he don't know is when he leaves Miku, who recently break up with Hayato soon after Souhei break up with Miyuki, felt that Souhei's departure made her lonely...day by day...

A year later, when all things died down, Souhei being so naive, thinking that Miku is still with Hayato, try his very best to walk away from her life. That sudden changing attitude in Souhei angered Hayato up until he dares to blow a punch on Souhei, telling the truth that all these time, Miku only looks at Souhei and only Souhei. Miku don't trust her heart when she saw Souhei again. She's looking for her fated person. He's looking for her only love. Thanks to the ex-couples, after a year, Narahashi Souhei and Ikenouchi Miku are finally...you and I...

 

Should I recommend this? Shouldn't I? If you are looking for a drama that sure make you reminiscing your love life during school, then this is for you! I'm sure there's some characters in this drama makes you remember that time. Maybe you are the naive and cheerful but blind when it comes to love Narahashi Souhei? Or maybe the 'not-going-to-lost-hope' and 'i'm-sure-he's-my-destinied-person' Ikenouchi Miku? Could you are the loner but caring and willing to sacrifice for others' happiness  Katagiri Hayato? Or could you are the selfish but caring that often mistaken as 'annoying' Ozawa Miyuki?

p/s: It's so hard to find any 'Sprout' GIFs, maybe after the DVD is out, there will be lots of 'Sprout' GIFs. But for now...

Jyaa~

after 7 episodes...

WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILER FOR 'SPROUT' EPISODE 7, 8, 9 and 10!! DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCH IT YET!

IDK what really happened in that episode as for now I only watched that episode without subs.

But...

TOOK U LONG ENOUGH, NARAHASHI SOUHEI!!!! *throws pillow to screen*

Anyway, I am very sure everyone who already watched that episode were all go "IN YOUR FACE, SOUHEI!" So, to continue this post..uh, well, let jealous!Souhei tell you~

Souhei: So I just saw Hayato and Miku uh, together..

Souhei: As in, together, you know, dating, like me and Miyuki..

Souhei: IDEK when did they confess to each other. Or started to hook up together..

 Souhei: but 1 thing for sure, I kinda don't like it.

I know this is super late, since 'Sprout' right now only have 2 episodes yet to be aired. So let me just continue this post with the super awesomeness of another 3 episodes. 

And SUPER AWESOMENESS means we have a new version of....'crying in the corner'..

...Souhei style... (no oppa gagnam style included in this)

Okay, stop gagnam-ing minna!

As you noticed, after 7th episodes, the POV was changed already. Yes, that's right. No more wordings from Miku's POV but it's Souhei's POV already. 

In short, what happened after 7th episode is this...

Souhei saw Hayato kissing Miku, and he pretend to not see it.

Miyuki had confessed that she liked Hayato and Souhei is his 3rd boyfriend. (Third, like ARE YOU SERIOUS, GIRL?)

Souhei x Miyuki are on rocks and in eps 10, they break up. (LADIES, CHINEN YURI IS SINGLE FOR NOW, BEFORE AOI-CHAN GOT HIM, GO GET HIM! Lol, wtf.)

And....eps 11....le preview...

Jya ne...*hurriedly leave before getting more depressed after seeing the preview GIF*

this blog is getting dusty...

..and it's all thanks to practicum, assignments, and events. YOU GUYS ARE TIRING ME UP! Bye bye, my life.

Anyways, lately I saw lots of my blog readers like to read my old post when I'm still an anime freak. O.o. Um..I mean, I'm a JKPop fan now, and no longer being an anime freak, can u just accept that? No? Then it's ok. Go on.

Somehow, last week thanks to their annual 24hr TV show, the anticipating 8th episode of 'Sprout' is somehow pushed to the day after tomorrow (1st September). Did UzaMiyu really liked BOTH Hayato and Souhei? We're ought to know. However, from the bottom of my heart as a drama fan, 'Sprout' totally different from any other romantic high school drama that Japan ever produced since 'Koizora'. Another best summer drama after 'Ikemen Desu Ne'. Now, if only the time slot changes for this drama, it may get highest ratings. The week before, at episode 7, it gets the rating of 3.0 %!

So..have some Almond Rush to celebrate!

To Malaysians, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! 55 years after 1957, such a great period!

being 22~

Random question: ZRC-chan, how was it like, being 22?

ZRC: well....hmmm~ *thinking*

ZRC: I dun know how's the feeling, considering the fact that I'm getting old and slowly realize that so many things I'd missed throughout my 22 years of living.

ZRC: And trying to do that thing again at this age will be my personal awkward moment. Disadvantages of being a primary school teacher, I think?

ZRC: Being an adult may be easy by looks. You can have your own car, your own house, your own Galaxy Note, your own Lumia and your own Vaio. But as you grow old, you realize that the only way to get all that is using MONEY and as you grow older, you realized that the only way to get MONEY is by WORKING!

ZRC: Okay, that maybe sound so pointless...LOL

ZRC: I'm still on my practicum week. Getting busier day by day. The time for me to get online started to decrease by each seconds. There were days in a week, where I don't online at all! Not even checking on my Facebook page. See, how busy I am.

ZRC: That's right, REAL LIFE STARTING TO TAKE OVER ME!

ZRC: I don't know what will happen to my fangirl-self, now that I'm busy with my works everyday, and getting older but still young at heart *bricked*.

ZRC: But I still don't like new, obsessed, disrespect, arrogant and immature fans. *Malay, please use Google Translate for the next two sentences* BARU SETAHUN JAGUNG JADI PEMINAT DAH BERANGAN MACAM-MACAM! Nak jadi bini GDragon laa, nak kahwin ngan Yamada Ryosuke laa, nak pergi honeymoon ngan Tamamori Yuta lah. *switch back 2 English* JUST EWWW~~ DISGUSTING!

ZRC: So maybe, I'm going to stop being a fangirl? MAN, THIS IS ONE HELLA DIFFICULT CHOICE! I still want to enjoy my life but those responsibilities, they killing me like URGH!!!

ZRC: In conclusion, it's not fun being 22. Adding to the boredom is that when you are single and forever alone. *shrugs* wait! I'm dating Kanata Hongo, so, I'm not single, LOL~

ZRC: That's my answer for your question, Anon-san. Thank you. Any presents for me? No? Then, it's okay.

ZRC: Now all I want to do here, in my birthday post, is A SPAM OF 'SHAKE IT UP' PV GIFs! PAAAAARRRRTTTTTYYYYYY~~~~

ZRC: Adding the purpose of the party is the fact that THIS IS MY 100TH POST! YAY!!!!! PARTY HARD!!!!
