...just because I promised you to do the review...

Well, where should I start?

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Neo or Kindaichi Neo for the short. The first time when it was announced (be it on the producer's Twitter page or in the TV news as well as newspapers), everyone was overjoyed. Everyone. Because like I said before. "4th Gen is sure the best thing happened in Kindaichi saga." And it was proven.

If I had to explain in 10 words about Kindaichi Neo, this is what I will write:

Yamada Ryosuke, Kawaguchi Haruna, Arioka Daiki, star-studded cameos, sophisticated but complicated cases, Narimiya Hiroki, the sub-romance plot, the chemistry between casts, the adult humor, the settings.

Miyuki: seriously Hajime-chan, what is ZRC-chan's blabbering about?

Hajime: saa~ *blur face*

I don't have any favourite case in this series but if I had to pick my favourite episodes in the series, I must say I personally love episode 7 the most. Call me childish or something but episode 7 is so close to social issues regarding teenagers nowadays. I personally love it.

Before I ramble a lot about that episode, I want to do an overall review for this series. Personally I never expect that it will be full with star-studded cameos. To name a few we have Kamiki Ryunosuke and Nakagawa Taishi for episode 1, Chiba Yudai, NEWS's Masuda Takahisa, Mamiya Shotaro and Kiriyama Ren for both episode 3 and 4, Irie Jingi for episode 7 and Fuji Mina for both episode 8 and 9. Also the trio coming back for the series and also the man of the show, Narimiya Hiroki. He will and always be my favourite villain actor. But he has cute sides too. Such as ... calling Yamada Ryosuke a raccoon? XDDDD

Anyways, talking about the fact that all Hey! Say! 7 members will be 21 soon, everyone, and I do mean everyone is anticipated to see whether the said notable 4th Gen Kindaichi Hajime can pull the romance scenes better.  I trust both Yamada and Haruna as a pair of capable actors can pull those scenes as we expected to see and they actually did not fail me in romance scenes. The mushy cheesy romance act that sometimes we even go 'ewww~' when we see it in real life were look way mushy cheesy and lovely in the hands of those two. I can say Yamada is ready for a romance-themed drama like now. Screw fangirls, he needs to live lor. But as most teen detective stories did not focus much on romance, Kindaichi Neo is no exception. Hands down, you have a pair of capable actors and great chemistry because they had been together in the saga for two years and no romance closure? Well, at least the producers had put the indirect confession scene in the final episode of Kindaichi Neo. That's a little progress. But I still give both of them kudos.

And I slowly can accept the fact that 'Saki Ryuji' is made for Daiki. No, I seriously cannot imagine if Chinen is the one being Saki Ryuji. Daiki's acting is so-so, I wonder when will he have a drama on his own? He's the only one in JUMP that did not have solo appearance in drama series. I cannot say anything about his acting skills because his appearance here is just so little and close to 'you are even okay if you're not in here', something like that. Not saying that he is a bad actor, but IDK, I cannot comment on his acting like, yet. What I know, the team had made right decision to have him as Saki Ryuji, despite his age that is even older than Yamada. Hell, Asari Yosuke is 26 and act as 17 year old student in this drama? How mind blowing.

Overall, as a fresh watcher (I say 'fresh' because I do not refer the manga before watching this. I NEVER watched anime version, nor the past generations of Kindaichi dramas, drama specials and movies, with an exception of 3rd gen), Kindaichi Neo is okay. I give 4 out of 5 for ratings. But call me biased, the 4th gen is sure the best thing happened in Kindaichi saga. 9 years is worth the wait.

YamaHaru: *sleeps* zzzzz~

OKAY SORRY. THIS REVIEW HAS SO MANY YAMAHARU HAJIME X MIYUKI GIFS SO I HATE THEM FOR FILLING MY SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE AIRING OF THE SERIES! Just kidding. I super love the tandem! I even ship them in real life. Sweet dreams, cute pair. Till we meet again~~ *hides*

All GIFs credit to the owner. I own nothing aside the captions and the post itself.

... okay I am being unfair to Chinen Yuri x Kojima Fujiko pair, but anyway ...

He is your boyfriend material if you are 13-16 year old Japanese girl. Dang, believe me he is way original than 10 Korean flower boys combined because he is really picky and witty when it comes to skin care. He had those alluring looks, breathtaking stares and dreamy appearance that any girl dream for a better boyfriend. He can sing, dance, act and making jokes. The best of all, he is a Johnny's idol, specifically one of the notable faces of teen sensation 'Hey! Say! JUMP'

She is your girlfriend material no matter how old you are and where you came from. She had those innocent looks, the beauty every girl will envy and the bods that every girl want and feeling insecure about. She had acted since she was at an early teen age and by time she reached 18, she had acted with your favourite ikemens, from the underlings Fukushi Sota to the idol Nakajima Yuto of Hey! Say! JUMP

They met for the first time during the announcement of the new Kindaichi drama special back in the year 2012. At first he was being introduced first as the fourth actor taking the notable 'Kindaichi Hajime' role thus making him being said as the fourth generation of Kindaichi. Then weeks after she was announced to take the role of the notable 'Nanase Miyuki' role thus shooing away all possible candidates to act alongside him including her own senpai in the same agency, Shida Mirai.

And the rest is history. The fault in their glamour stars. *shrugs*

Catch more of Yamada Ryosuke and Kawaguchi Haruna's tandem in 'Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Neo' every Saturday, 9 pm Japan time only on NTV. 

p/s: I made this post in honour of their closeness inside and outside the drama. If they were crowned the new 'Favourite Couple in a Drama' after FuruYuki and HonoMiki, that is really the fault in their glamour stars. :P *runs away*

pp/s: you won't want to read this because this is just showed how random my thoughts are right now.

Open the door boys, we are coming to your house!

This is the usual mornings to most of us~

There must be one person who isn't a morning person...

There are also one person who only wakes up when the windows are open. Rise and shine~

Also, there must be some people who woke up early and make breakfasts...

While there are one person who just wake up and sit in a cafe the first thing in the morning for breakfast..

There are people who prefer playing with their pets first thing after waking up. 

And there are people who just laze around after waking up. Probably before and after breakfast. Catching up news around the world via newspapers and TVs.

And then there are working people who get up early and ready to go to work. 

And~

There must be a person who won't allow you to sleep to noon. 

Yamada: Wake up, minna! Rise and shine!

Yamada: Wake up, Arioka! It's 5 pm!
Arioka: Geez! You just disturbed my sleep!

So how was your mornings? Which person are you?

Anyways, all the GIFs you just saw, is from the glorious 10th Promotional Video (PV) from the glorious 9-nin Hey! Say! JUMP, "Come on a My House". 

Short version. Worth flailing. Enough said.

And the full PV together with the full studio single will come out to stores on 26th June. 

Watch out for the runaway models~

Yuto: It's my turn.

Daiki: Back off! It's my turn!

Ryosuke: Move away you two! It's MY turn!

(you had no idea how much I want Chinen in suit's GIF now, boys)

Yuto: I can't wait, yonme-sama!
Ryosuke: Of course you can't wait, danna-sama.

... of the year 2012

Tho today is 27th January 2013, it's never too late to say...

This post is totally different from my 2012 new year post, because I am not going to blog my RL drama here. Not going.

So look at the title, minna. '... of the year', 2012 version! This is my own fangirl version of '... of the year' so all rights reserved. (I am losing my writing in English skills, omaigawd)

Let's get started.

Song of the year: Pop Danthology 2012 by Daniel Kim a.k.a this is a mashup of 50+ songs in a song. Did I told you that I like mashup songs? No? So, yeah. I love mashups.

I also heard DJ Earworm's mashup but IDK. It seems didn't suit me up. Gomen. Next...

Drama of the year: *drumrolls* Sprout! Not even mama's boy or some useless turned good policemen and even a Tamamori Yuta. This set of actors and actresses really brings high school memories to most of the watchers. Yes they are idols and most of them were first timers but IDC. Don't tell me you didn't cry when watching this scenes

And every time this scene coming you fell pity over the second lead male a.k.a Lewis Jesse.

Admit it~~~ blehhhh~ Got u!

Pairing of the year: YamaJima a.k.a Yamada Ryosuke and Nakajima Yuto. We know how close they are since junior days, so don't bash me. (besides, this is 2012 going to 2013 post right?). And their tandem is the proof that, a drama too can also maintain their popularity from the first week of the year to the end of the year. (side note: Risou no Musuko)

why post GIF when you can have this scandalous picture?

Trio of the year: NYC, and we mean Nakayama, Yamada and Chinen (because in JUMP itself got NYC/The Holy Trinity a.k.a Nakajima, Yamada and Chinen). Maintaining their 5th year participation in Kohaku plus two singles and two 'amusement park' singles which is way hotter than their digital singles, this three idols is no play-play. And what makes things easier? ALL THREE OF THEM WERE ALREADY GRADUATING THEIR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS!

You can only found this poster...

and this...

...inside Tokyo Joypolis amusement park which officially open for public last year. NYC is their image artist.

JUMP member of the year: CHINEN YURI! He rocks your life starting winter 2012 as a troubled university freshmen, and end your 2012 with his genius, judgemental thinking when stuck in France. And did I mention that he got his second on-screen kiss? HE DID!

sometimes doing a double post is worthy, because humans tend to forget. 

Let me make you getting more jelly. He has TWO kissing scenes in 'Sprout'. Yes, the one is up there, if you can see. And the other one, is this!

Jelly much? But, let me know how many people hate this senpai co-manager throughout the whole series?

But I like Chinen Yuri/Okamoto Rei tandem better! Sorry Morikawa-san and Kojima-san, Okamoto wins! They are so sweet, despite the fact is the girl is older than the boy. But who cares~

Just a fanvid, but who cares! Also, the song used was sung by Chinen's favourite artist. Try beat that.

Kisumai member of the year: FUJIGAYA TAISUKE! Almost being surpassed by Tamamori Yuta anyway. But can he beat a senior boxer, a yankee turned policeman and Kimura Takuya's sidekick? And amused Kiritani Mirei? He can't.

Just so you know, you will catch this on DVD soon. 

At the age of 25, he has his first sex scene. *flat face*

T: S**t! Busted!

Hopefully for 2013, new hopes coming up, new memories being created and new achievements come along to our boys. Till then~~

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)

p/s: Happy Birthday BIGBANG's Seungri. #121212VIday

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!!!!

GIF credit to the owner. I only own the post!

this is the 21-getting-22-and-in-a-practicum-mode-student post

Maybe I am getting older, letting my RL take over.

But, I found that lately certain fans were started to show disrespect to other ppl. because of these fans, immature fans, who think nothing but their biases, and having their own butthurt when other ppl mocking their biases. and then go worshiping their biases and calling them 'perfect'. as if they're not human.

What am I talking about is this video.

Ok, and the rest of this post is in both Malay and English. If U want 2 read, use Google Translate.

First of all, have U read this post? Ke korang tak faham English? Oh My English! Sebab itu laa hakku suruh pakai Google Translate! Hakku hangin betul aa, korang ada belajar ke Moral Studies a.k.a Pendidikan Moral? Aduh, kalau tak ada belajar pun at least korang tahu dan faham apa maksud RESPECT! Mak bapak korang tak ajar korang macam mana nak RESPECT orang ke? RESPECT tu tak perlu orang ajar aa, sendiri tahu laa. Lainlaa kalau korang punya physical age dan mental age tu sama-sama bawah 10 tahun, hakku tak kisah laa beb, masih boleh dibentuk. NI TIDAK! PHYSICAL AGE DAH LAYAK MASUK OFFICE JADI BOSS SYARIKAT TAPI MENTAL AGE MACAM BUDAK UMOR BAWAH 10 TAHUN, APA KES???? Tau physical age tu apa? Mental age tu apa?

Hakku nampak banyak sangat kes macam ni sejak aku jadi peminat JKpop nih. (yes! Hakku minat J-Pop ngan K-pop sekali, kau ada?)

Minat tu tak salah, tapi kalau dah sampai main kutuk-kutuk, dah tu selit lagi perkataan-perkataan yang 'mencarut' tu, tak pasal-pasal lelaki perempuan semua dia panggil 'bishes', tu bukan manusia tu. Makhluk apa hakku tak tahu, sebab setahu hakku, MANUSIA TAHU DAH FAHAM APA MAKSUD 'RESPECT'!

Tolonglah, kalau korang ni MANUSIA a.k.a HUMAN yang elok-elok, tak ada cacat cela, sempurna atau perfect serba serbi termasuk otak dan akal korang, PLEASE BE A HUMAN AND SHOW YOUR RESPECT TO OTHER PEOPLE, NO MATTER IF YOU'RE A KPOP FAN OR NOT! SAME GOES TO THE FAN WHO ARE IN THE SAME FANDOM BUT DEFENDING YOUR BIAS LIKE HE/SHE IS YOUR SAVIOUR AND MUST NOT BE CRITICIZED OR BADMOUTHED OR SUCH! Dorang pun human jugak, tidak semua human perfect. (termasuk hakku yang post benda nih)

BENDA SERIUS NIH! JANGAN PANDAI-PANDAI NAK IGNORE PULAK!

Switch back to English.

I'm a JUMPer for less than 5 yrs, to be honest I started being one since 2010, and seeing this happens, that makes me slowly lost my interest to them. lots of ex-JUMPers leave JUMP fandom because of these immature, disrespect, worshiping fans. 

If this situation continues, it won't be a surprise in no time I'll b ex-JUMPer very soon.

on 25th June..

aha! Taaiiiiippppiiiiii's bday!!!

Taipi: ..as in, Fujigaya Taisuke, baby. Remember me~

Yes, I know, late, but that's not the MAIN point of this post.

The point is, Taipi is so damn adorable and handsome and hot and asdfghjkl that I even forgot that day was also, YOUR birthday. *rolls eyes*

Taipi: Well, ur fault 4 hurting ZRC-chan. I.OWN.HER.NOW!

that sounds exaggrating, Taipi, shut it...*blushes*

Well, that shows my idols are more worth it for me than u, boy. I prefer a boy that is unreachable because he's in other country than a boy that is unreachable because he's now someone's property. Hmph!

Taipi: ... and knows how 2 skate, ne ZRC-chan?

YESSSSS!
