Did we tell you that YamaChine is so suck with the term 'give up'?

Zekki: You said what? *glares*
*covers mouth*

I told you that there's no way Yamada Ryosuke, the so-called avid fan of Nube francais will be in the live action drama for the manga because really, that dude had to go back and forth between 'Ansatsu Kyoshitsu' filming and this one because it was so jam-packed and considering the location for 'Ansatsu' filming is in rural areas so it made 10 times harder. 

But like Chinen said in the mags, 

Chinen: He's currently doing 'Ansatsu', yeah. But he don't care. He still want to be in Nube tho~

And because Yamada is pretty according to Goo, Nube's director do know him well thanks to 'Risou no Musuko', and the term 'you can't defy Chinen whoever you are'. this happens. 

Yamada: owyeah~ meet my demon hand~

Catch Yamada Ryosuke guesting as Zekki, the ever so handsome Oni a.k.a demon in eps 9 of 'Jigoku Sensei Nube', this Saturday, 6th December 2014, 9pm JST only on Fuji TV. 

Warning to other drama makers: don't ever resist YamaChine. They do whatever they can to get what they want. Period.

Yamada: we did it, bae~
Chinen: I know right. Now go kill Nube students, you demon~

Of supernatural geeks and #teamYamaChine

It's the time of the year again where those supernatural acts like demons, monsters and other sorts of paranormal activities come and haunt your school and it's up to any of you whether we have any survivors left or maybe someone who act as a hero who got their intensive learning from Winchester brothers to fight demons haunting a high school full with innocent students.




'Jigoku Sensei Nube' (English title: Hell Teacher Nube) is another manga to anime to live action drama adaptation explaining the first long paragraph up there. Only this time, there are lots of gorgeous girls (one of them had been brought all the way from South Korea to add the gorgeousness, LOL), the infamous list of students (yes, dude, students, not pupils.) and a modern re-boot. Yeah. Modern re-boot.


I am sure most of you guys who are currently reading this post may have once read the manga or watch the anime where the setting is around elementary school pupils, am I right? I was being told that this francaise is among the strongest fan base in manga and anime world with lots of followers all around the world. 20 million copies selling for this manga way back in 1990 is no joke, ok. For the drama, the team made major changes in terms of setting by changing it into the high school setting so it may sound logical and easy to get more supporting young actors and actresses to be the students. Since the manga itself a rated R one, so should it be suitable with ... high school setting? Kids aren't appropriate to see hentai things, ok. *giggles*


In short, this upcoming drama tells the story of a part-teacher, part exorcist Meisuke Nueno a.k.a Nube who possessed a demon hand. He takes up a post at Domori High School. He cares very much for his students but his enthusiasm proves futile. A hopeless teacher who is clumsy, foolish and ridiculed by students. However, there is another side to him. He is the only teacher in Japan with psychic powers because of a devil dwelling in his left hand. When his students are attacked by monsters and evil spirits which take up residence in weak human hearts, he would risk his life to protect them by making use of his left hand. (source: Arama Japan)

Now since this francaise is a well known one back in the 90s so there were huge expectations on how does the modern reboot of this will attract die hard fans. Especially with those all-stars line up casts (note: Kanjani8's Maruyama Ryuhei, Hey! Say! JUMP's Chinen Yuri, ex-KARA's Kang Jiyoung, Kiritani Mirei, Hayami Mokomichi, Nakagawa Taishi and Yoshizawa Ryo). Look at that list again! That was a bunch! I am very sure that more well-known actors and actresses will do their cameo in each episode of this drama because really. It's a well-known francaise.


and, no, you won't see him inside. it's no use no matter how hard he ask Chinen beg the producer to have him do the cameo in this drama. he's the huge otaku of this francaise btw.

The fact that this drama will air at the Golden Time (Saturdays, 9pm JST) adding the pressure not just for the team but also to the fans. They have everything in the drama (modern reboot with oh-so-gorgeous-yummy young set of actors as students) so the fans are expecting high on this modern reboot. I myself, as I have zero knowledge about this franchise and depending the luck of high ratings in the hands of some idols starring in this drama, may give this a try. Fun fact: this is the second time Chinen starred in a supernatural themed drama with a Kanjani8 member and last time he done that, the drama (note: 'Yorozu Uranaidokoro Onmyouya e Yokoso') got pleasant average ratings. 

So, I am very anxious for this drama. Are you? Catch all of these star-studded casts in the drama 'Jigoku Sensei Nube' starting 11th October 2014, 9pm JST only on channel NTV. 

... and how does #teamYamaChine related to this post? Read the post again and be dazzled because did I told you that Yamada had been bugging Chinen for telling the directors and producers of Nube drama to have him in the drama? It was being rejected (as stated in the caption) at first but you know these two are suck in giving up. Last time we checked, the producers had to say no, considering Yamada is busy with his 'Ansatsu Kyoshitsu' filming, but as we know that these two notable Hey! Say! JUMP members were suck in giving up, we have this. 


not the best quality, but yes. YAMADA RYOSUKE IS IN 'JIGOKU SENSEI NUBE'! just his voice. :P

...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*

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.

... 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.

so, 2013 ish OVER, eh?

Yes, I know this is so late (again!) because my internet being bad since few last weeks of 2013, but there!


Well, officially 2013 is my last year being a student after somewhat 17 years wearing the 'student' title. Yeah. I am so going to miss the times when I go to class, sit in the desk, wearing school uniforms, being bishy, naughty, immature, involved myself in fights and laughs, hang around with friends, pestering teachers and lecturers and of course, burning the midnight oil in order to finish daily school works, assignments and courseworks. Also, creating, making and finishing PowerPoint presentations. *sobs*

That's it for my RL. Not bothering to elaborate more. Thanks.

However in fandom world, I am having mixed feelings. After Yabu's birthday, I am officially an admin for a JUMP fandom Malaysian base FB group. It was a quite tough job for an oldie like me since I am the third oldest and surprisingly the most active admin (I'm not declaring it myself, most group members said so) thanks to my schedule in which somewhat 'similar like a school student's schedule but not so similar since I am a teacher trainee'. Yeah. I have too much free time to fangirl. Just saying. And because I have too much free time, plus I am the 'event organizer' of the said group, I somehow created some wacky events with the last one is the simple one during Christmas. Not celebrating Christmas, but who asked JStorm to release JUMP's new single on Christmas Day, huh? Grrrr~~

Ah, JUMP.

2013 brings lots of shockers in JUMP fandom. First off, is (If I count right, it had been a year since) 'Mystery Virgin' come to music stores. Have I told you that Yamada Ryosuke alone brings everyone back to the yard, feeling eyegasm and eargasm all the time with his stunning dance moves and soothing voice?


Hey~ he is the brand new 'teenage soloist who conquered Oricon charts', ok. 'Mystery Virgin' overall sold quite a number, surpassing NYC weekly sales but half slaying JUMP's weekly sales. Half, I must say. Okay. Stop.

Next, is the sudden fanmeeting in Thailand. 'JUMP 1st Fanmeeting in Thailand'. Non-Thai citizens fans are sure jealous of Thailand once and for all. Especially neighbouring countries (read: Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines)

The fanmeeting was done in Siam Paragon, ok. 

But, mind telling you Thai Tobikkos that we all are very grateful of you taking so much HD papapics. They are the best! Kudos! Also they too shoot their Vermont Curry CM in a whitey Thailand beach. Not Phuket, ok. Too far. Far enough to see Yamada and Yuto catching crabs in which most of their shippers mistaken one of their gestures as kissing. Gosh, Yuto is totally a flirt to Yamada in Thailand. Not that Yamada mind. Okay. Halt that!

Speaking about Vermont Curry CM, the background song of the CM, in which the title is a totally big violation to English grammar a.k.a 'Come on a My House' is set to be JUMP's 10th single. After 1 year and a half with no new single at all since SUPER DELICATE, they finally come out with their new single. Finally some Chinen appreciation. Uh-huh, if you believe in shippers's delusion, this is one way Chinen got his revenge. LOL. And who would not forget that one fine moment in YamaChii's shippers life, during Ichiban Song Show on the release date of the said single. The 'escorting princess' moment. Hmm~

You mean like this? Uh-huh~ this is what are we talking about. 

I said some Chinen's appreciation because he is the main chara in this song. And he will always be the main chara. In any songs. We go back to this again later.

After COAMH, members are busy with their individual jobs.

Daiki and Yamada flew to Malaysia for 'Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo: Gokumon Juku Satsujin Jiken'. (that will be in a separate post, won't post some frustrations and flails over these guys coming to Malaysia like, WHY THE HECK YOU DIDN'T TELL US? kind of.)

And speaking about Yamada, he got another 24-hour TV special project again after 4 years, through the role of a patient with cancer that needs him to wear artificial legs in 'Kyou no Hi wa Sayonara.' Ohno is the main actor. Yes. Ohno. The tandem irks Chinen to the max, really. I'm not kidding you. LOL.

Chinen: Let me just stay like this in despair because Ohno-kun didn't invite me for a dinner. And he invited Ryosuke.
Ohno: 'Kay~~ *pouts*

Yuto had his 5 episode of fame because 'Hanzawa Naoki' shattered the drama ratings and being the top watched drama over the summer season. He wasn't recognized there, in which some Tobikkos felt relieved to the max.

Nakanishi: well, let me just sit here and break the toothpicks then. 

Nakanishi: and sulking here alone. 

Nakanishi: Ah, you can't let me sulking eh? Okay then. 

Oh, Yuto had three dramas this year. Early that year, he was one of the casts in 'Share House no Koibito' in which his role is the heroine's brother and have a girlfiriend in the form of Kawaguchi Haruna (who, yeah, the new 'Nanase Miyuki', IMO).

Another drama is as a guest star in Kamenashi's 'Tokyo Bandwagon' in which he starred as a guy who his sister (played by Kojima Fujiko, you remember him being 'Ozawa Miyuki' right?) is having a son at a young age.


Speaking about 'Ozawa Miyuki', it reminds me of 'Sprout', and it reminds me of the lead actor a.k.a Chinen. Yes. 'Sprout'. 'The naive, kind, dense Narahashi Souhei' role somehow allowed Chinen to win 'Best Rookie Actor' award in TV Navi Drama of the Year 2012 on April 2013.  *clap clap* Credits to 'the arrogant, rebellious Ihara Hayato' role too.

Few months after, he grab a role in 'Yorozu Uranaidokoro Onmyouya e Yokoso' alongside Nishikido Ryo. Mind telling you, during this era, JUMP had said to be already in Julie Kitagawa's care and appeared in almost variety shows. Starting with Chinen guesting in some unknown variety shows, alone. I won't tell you much on how Chinen changed his perspective towards socializing here. Maybe some other posts. But, believe me, it's worth the wait.

Shunta: I'll wait. Better not forget your promise, ZRC-chan. Or I'll summon you! 

In other news related to 'variety shows', Inoo and Yabu also grab a job as a semi-regular in one of the variety show. (note: will find the title later). Their appearance in the variety shows are unexpected, especially on Inoo since this year also he graduated from Meiji University on Takaki's birthday. Good to see sharp-tongued Inoo back on screen after his infamous quote, "Friendship is about betrayal and being betrayed." Ouch!

Yabu, on the other hand, had got himself busy with butais as he was among the casts for '40 Carats' and currently a part of 'Johnny 2020'.

As the year about to reach the end, more blissful updates about JUMP coming out. They graced the second Kindaichi drama SP theme song with Malaysian-themed 11th single 'Ride with Me'. Again, Chinen is the chara here. I mean it. He already pushed Yamada to the back. HA.HA!

Before RWM even get themselves into the stores, JUMP made an announcement of another single in conjunction with Hikaru and Inoo's new drama starting this 20th January entitled 'Dark System: The Battle of Love' in which Hikaru is the main actor and Inoo is one of the supporting actors. The single was said to release on 5th February, entitled 'AinoArika/Ai Sureba Motto Happy Life'. It also included brand new songs from both subunits, in which 7 will also have another Burbon Jelly CM and BEST having another 'S' song.

Last but not least, it was announced that Takaki will have himself two days of fame (when this post was written, his drama already started, and his SP drama had already aired) in which he had himself two drama offers. A drama special together with Takizawa Hideki entitled 'HAMU Kouan Keisatsu no Otoko' and a serial drama with Ohkura Tadayoshi entitled 'Dr. DMAT'. Both roles are small, however, how are you going to resist fireman!Takaki and computer genius slash policeman!Takaki? Hm~~~

So, that is all for JUMP roundup for the whole year 2013. Hopefully after being under new management, JUMP is ready to grace new challenges, grab new roles in dramas and make new musics. As for me myself, hopefully 2014 will be another jump start for a new life in the job world. Also wish for happiness in my private life.

and start another tale of the glutton and the foxy...

Yamada: Oh no, you did not! I agree ok!
Chinen: *chokes a laugh*

I own nothing but the post. (c) to all GIFs and pictures owner I am using in this post.

No fox were killed in the making of this post.

Starting 8th October 2013, a brand new drama starring Nishikido Ryo (Kanjani 8) and Chinen Yuri (Hey! Say! JUMP / NYC) aired its first episode. The title? 'Yorozu Uranaidokoro Onmyoya e Yokoso'. 

Long title, I know. It took me a week to seriously consider remembering it. 

Ok, if you wonder, this drama is based on a novel with the same title. It's about an ex-host who opened a fortune teller shop although he had no experience and knowledge in fortune telling and just based on his experience on flirting to solve problems. He was assisted by a middle school student who also have his own special ability, that is possessing a fox spirit and abilities

Now that I had told you the synopsis, you can guess who's who. And look at this blog post's title. Really. No fox were killed or harmed in the making of this post. Unless if making a kid sniffing his own slippers counts as killing.


Sorry for that.

Anyways, I had watched the pilot episode of this drama. Truth be told, this is my second drama of Ryo's and I admit, I am not fond of him. He sucks in Orthoros no Inu, no offence. However in this drama, I can say that he is enjoying himself bullying Chinen so much. Or let me rephrase. His character, Abeno Shomei really enjoying himself bullying Shunta (Chinen's character). To me that is the real Nishikido Ryo.

And Chinen. What can I say about this guy? This is his first drama after he won an award in recent TV Navi Drama of the Year Award. Shunta is a hot tempered teen (as expected from post puberty teen) and possesses a fox spirit. He has sharp eyes, sharp senses, sharp hearing, and ... foxy. He is a bish. Male version. Really. In that drama only.

I'm impressed by the fact that this is his first drama after winning 'Best Rookie Actor Award'. It needs two dramas of him to show his different facial expressions in this drama. At some point he looks like he was possessed with 'Ihara Hayato the rebel teen' spirit and some other time he all go sweet and charming just like Narahashi Souhei.



True, he had acted in few dramas back before 2012 but those few dramas back, he wasn't even able to do much facial expressions until to the point that I said that he has a stiff acting skills. Now he proved that he deserved that award and it impressed me. Foxy enough.

I am going to watch this drama till the end. It's hard (again) to find the links to the drama as some online drama sites did not have this drama in their list, just like Pin to Kona and Kamen Teacher. Maybe because it was aired on Tuesday, 10 pm on Fuji TV? Well, IDK.

It's just weird to think that Chinen still got himself a student role when he'll be going 20 next month. It's just, weird.


I'm not your mom. *rolls eyes*

Catch 'Yorozu Uranaidokoro Onmyoya e Yokoso', Tuesdays, 10 PM JPN time, only on Fuji TV. (c) to the GIF  and picture owner.

p/s: This post is not foxy enough because of lacking GIFs. *shrugs*

I seriously think there is/are people who really stalking me....

... in a good way.

If you come here for JUMP stuffs and had in mind that I am a certified Tobikko, please be aware that I am also a fan of some fandoms too.

And one of them is a CLAMP otaku. Specialized on Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. I have some posts related to them in this blog, so feel free to check it out using the tags related. If it is not in English, use Google Translate. *winks*

As stated here in my fic blog, (yes! I am a fanfic writer too! But mostly boy x boy fics.) it had been a dream of mine to write a fiction based on the genres featured in TRC and CCS. Ever since I started becoming their otaku. I realized it is a very tough work with my limited English vocabularies to write this genre. I even had to refer to the mangas to gain some ideas and inspirations to write at least a one-shot with this genre. At least one shot. On 25th April 2013, I had managed to write a one-shot fanfiction based on this genre. Sounds late because at this moment I am already a Tobikko. However, I had write a crossover fic, in which implied two fandoms I was and currently in now. It's like a dream come true for me to be able to write a TRC based one shot fic using JUMP members as the characters. Check out the link provided for the said fic.

During the process of writing the said fic, the thought of having either TRC or CCS as a live-action drama or movie started to linger around my head. However, knowing the fact that if there is any CLAMP manga being adapted into a live-action drama or movie, it's kind of quite hard to find the suitable actor / actress to play some roles in the manga because in my opinion as an avid CLAMP otaku, the characters these four amazing ladies had drawn and created is far too perfect to be portrayed by ANY actor /actress living in Japan. In 2012, WOWOW had adapted xxxHolic into a live-action drama. Because I am not quite following the manga, the anime and the drama, so I just take it with a grain of salt. I am managed to check out the actors in the drama and somehow, it was less my expectation. Ok. Maybe I will consider great job picking Suzuki Anne as Yuuko. *shrugs*

If I were given a choice which one I would like to see a live action adaptation between TRC and CCS, I would say TRC. No specific reasons but I remember I have not see any JDrama makers try fantasy genre for their drama aside 'Yokai Ningen Bem'. TRC is another CLAMP manga and anime I would like to see a live action adaptation. Somehow, I had been thinking, if ANY actor in Japan I HAD to pick to portray Li Syaoran / Syaoran Fujitaka, it MUST be this person.

You know who is this. 

And guess what. There is a person who share the same thoughts with me.

Note that the choice is based on the statement, "If I HAD to pick." Because I am aware of the fact that CLAMP boys are TOO PERFECT to be portrayed in a live action. Please spare my life. It is my opinion only.

I pick Yamada Ryosuke not just because he is my ichiban. There are lots of reasons why I pick him. All the reasons are physical appearance reasons because I do not want to talk about his acting skills. If you want me to talk about that, I will keep calm and throw you a DVD box of 'Risou no Musuko' for you to watch. Simple. 

Yamada himself as certified by most Tobikkos and some non-Tobikkos, are just like coming out from a shoujo manga. Do I need to spam his pics here as a proof? I don't need to do that. He had looks. Good looking one. His current hairstyle make it just perfect for him to be 'Syaoran'. Brunette and short hair. Just like 'Syaoran'.

Height? I am aware of the fact that Yamada is among the three 'Smurfs' in JUMP. With his height at about 164 cm (source: NYC photobook 'COLORS', 2013) he may be not your pick to be your Syaoran. But...


164 cm to me is tall, actually. Do not be deceived by those group photos. I am sure you all were deceived by the photos. People who see him in person (note: Thai fans and their HD papapics, thank you) will agree with me. Syaoran is the shortest (minus Sakura) in their group too. I assume his height is at about 165 cm - 170 cm like that. (the point here is Yamada has long legs, thank you *bricked*)


So, to Yamada Ryosuke, please don't worry with your height complex because if this franchise made a live-action, most of us want you to be 'Syaoran'. Thank you.

And for the rest, I leave that to you guys. Tho personally I think Fay's character suits Inoo Kei well. *winks*

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.
