Suspect X - Galileo Live Action Movie

OVERALL RATING: 9.5/10

Well I gave this show a go in the cinema and definitely it didnt disappoint at all. Great plot with some great acting with a great song to go with it. I got hold of this show through a local radio, didnt know it was related much to Galileo though. I'm not a vivid drama fan, I've only watch like 3-4 series max, but I've heard of Galileo and how the drama series was such a big hit. (And I probably was into J-drama due to Kaho.)

That aside, the movie plot was intriguing, though I would love to see a better ending than what they've provided. The show wasn't boring at all, except that there were parts in the end where I felt it drag a little too long but overall, the show was terrific. Go and watch it yourself and you'll be searching for the TV series not long later like me. Its on my must watch list now but no idea when.

Now the theme song. Once again heard it from the local radio which was praising this show along with this subarashii(wonderful) piece of music. It took me 2-3 times to really get into this song at first but after that, its just too good not to listen again. The lyrics was fantastic and beautifully written. Having listen to Chinese pop for quite sometime and definitely reading the lyrics, I am always amazed at how Japanese are able to express things the way they do that Chinese or Englush will never be able to hit the heights of such high emotional feelings.

However, I still love Chinese lyrics more, no idea why though. Japanese lyrics have make me go "WOW", "FANTASTIC" a couple of times but never as consistent as Chinese lyrics does which is maybe that's why I still like Chinese lyrics more, adding the fact that I can understand them more easily.
(By the way, I'm talking about love song lyrics)

The one part of the song lyrics that I just have to share:

いつか命の旅
終わるそのときも
祈るでしょう
あなたがあこがれた
あなたであること
その笑顔を幸せを

And when the travel of my life
comes to an end
I'll surely be praying
that you are the person you wanted to be
that you are smiling
that you are happy

Great sentences. Totally love it. I love Japanese. 日本語ただ愛してる [I just love Japanese]

White Album Episode 8 Aftermath

(Click to Enlarge)
White Album 7

After giving praises on this show on the last episode, this episode was even better. Somewhat School Days style but doesnt really affect me though given that I'm a big School Days hater. What I really like was the complex relationship that each character have with Touya coming into light. Their ulterior motive and such. As if its coming to the point that it can just explode anytime.

First up was Rina

I shall call this jealousy and envy for Rina though she deny so. Maybe she feel that she could have Touya, something that Yuki want but wouldn't get. Still pretty much a guess but this episode gave out much of her ulterior motive. She seems jealous of, envious of Yuki and maybe doesn't like why Yuki gets all the things she wants.

Up next,

I really like how Mana argued to Haruka about her liking Touya which looks rather true. I've lesser clue of her compared to Rina or rather much lesser guess. It could just be brother complex or just plain love. Probably the most mysterious girl in White Album if not second.

Misaki's and Touya's lies

Two usotsuki(liars). Picking up a phone from Yuki, lies start coming out. Not sure if it was but seems so. Probably the most contradicting character in White Album. Like how she complained that she shouldnt be so concerned about Touya's relationships with other girls yet can't help but ask Touya about his relationship with Rina(though I may be wrong since it seems as if Touya started to explain first). But nonetheless, this woman is wicked. LOL.

Talk about some punishment

Wow, some punishment. But the problem lies with Touya. What's is he doing with his arms? I don't know much but is he shattering with the piling relationships? I think he is. No idea how they're going to caring on this but I'm sure looking forward to episode 9. This episode was great. Even better than episode 7. Great one from the cast and the director.

Love how they keep adding such sketch

Soon

New single would be released around April but did you know already!?
Almost one year since I last released one!
Enjoy (´∀｀）
Did quite a lot of various work but unable to announce it is frustrating.
Which is how the previous statement comes about (^O^)
And last few days ago, the shooting of the PV is done!!
Till later.

I'm sure looking forward. Still waiting eagerly for her concert DVD to arrive. toki doki suru!!
Nonetheless, I hope the song is good and nice even though I prefer a full album. But I've no idea if my TL is wrong since I'm still learning. XD

There is No Ifs

One of my favourite love song singer sang this quite a few months or weeks ago, not really sure cause it've been so long since I've spent days listening to the radio and chinese pop songs.

But this is probably yet another fantastic song by fish leong(no idea why its fish myself). LOL!

如果我說 愛我沒有如果
錯過就過 你是不是會難過
若如果拿來當藉口
那是不是有一點弱

如果我說 愛我沒有如果
真的愛我 就放手一搏
還想什麼還 怕什麼
快牽起我的手
有人說
世界上最遙遠的距離不是生與死
而是我就站在你面前
你卻不知道我 愛你
我常說如果人類連愛一個人都被自己綁住
那世界末日已來到
不需要等到地球毀滅掉
的那天
如果我說 愛我沒有如果
錯過就過 你是不是會難過
若如果拿來當藉口 那是不是有一點弱

如果我說 愛我沒有如果
真的愛我 就放手一搏
還想什麼還 怕什麼
快牽起我的手

如果 如果 沒有如果
如果如果 最後變成路過
我也不能接受
錯過錯過不能錯過
錯過錯過我比你更難過
我不會一錯再錯

唉 這次不要再隨便錯過

我常說
如果人類連愛一個人都被自己綁住
那世界末日已來到
不需要等到地球毀滅掉
的那天
別怕太快樂
別怕失去我
如果我說愛我沒有如果
錯過就過 你是不是會難過
若如果拿來當藉口 那是不是有一點弱

如果我說 愛我沒有如果
真的愛我 就放手一搏
還想什麼還 怕什麼
快牽起我的手

〃間奏〃
Da La...
快牽起我的手

如果我說 愛我沒有如果
錯過就過 你是不是會難過
若如果拿來當藉口
那是不是有一點弱

如果我說 愛我沒有如果
真的愛我 就放手一搏
還想什麼 還怕什麼
快牽起我的手

如果我說 愛我沒有如果
錯過就過 你是不是會難過
若如果拿來當藉口
那是不是有一點弱
如果我說 愛我沒有如果
真的愛我 就放手一搏
還想什麼 還怕什麼
快牽起我的手

如果我說 愛我沒有如果

White Album Episode 7

(Click to Enlarge)

White Album 7

I got one word for this "Awesome". And I'm probably the only one. I've heard bad response to this episode.
I do not really know why, but I kind of like how they tried to go around doing this episode.
For the first 5-10 mins, it felt like the normal harem building up and such. But what's after is probably what I like more.
'The Clash of the Harem'

The episode started with Mana receiving a letter of a new tutor, which turned out to be Touya.
Carry on helping Misaki, Touya brought her home, not his but his father's. Nicely spotted by Hanner, both the father's and son's relationship may have some part to play in the next few episodes. Not just that, I agree with him on several issues as well which I'll pinpoint later.

Misaki and Touya's Father

After that was a part with Mana and one of the 'lol' scenes of the episodes(maybe not that funny though -.-').
I'm sure Mana will soon take a liking for Touya, given that she drove out all the tutor in the past.
So somehow Touya's going to impress her.

Green Indian? No disrespect anyway

Mana's sketch

After that came my favourite part of the story. 'The Clash'
Rina entered the cafe, which just nicely, Touya and Misaki was in and thought Touya was dating another girl.
Desperately trying to explain, Touya rushed in the secret chamber(for the VIPs) and found Eiji inside. As Rina desperately tries to get Touya back to manage her, the issue that I agree with Hanner that she have an ulterior motive though the evidences seems little and by far none.
Eiji, like Shinozuka, was trying to break up Touya as well in the word he said. On the other hand, Misaki left the cafe after apparently hearing Touya called Rina with a '-chan'.
Everything went to fast for Touya who got on Eiji's car to go to the studio while asking to make a call to Misaki, who lied about being busy(another lie in White Album already).

How did I forget to mention that on the 3rd hand -.-', Haruka was outside the door where Touya resides crying for Touya to answer the door, only to be left disappointed. After being complained, she cried for Touya and mumbled the phrase that she always ask Touya "Sanpo ikou/Lets go for a stroll?" and then answering herself "Ikanai/No" and the final clue was her saying "Onii-chan/Brother" at the end.
I believe she treated him as a replacement of his brother and as long as Touya give her attentions, she'll be happy.

Caught Red-Handed

Crying Haruka

Pretty good episode for me and I kind of would have want episode 8 if I'm not busy with school exams. But no doubt I'm want to see what happen next after this episode before I can comment if this episode was really going to change the way this series have gone about doing(especially the early stages of harem building).

And I've believe now that they've done this, the show will have to go and start letting Touya decide on which girl he is going to love and stop this harem nonsense, unless they go and do a school days or something. Pretty fulfilling episode for me, not sure if it was for you though.

Just have to post this hot episode preview

Some other links and the reason why I'm doubtful the episode was nice for you.

BW's episode thread

By the way, compare this picture to the one at the top of the post.
This is from episode 3. Cool find eh?
And to add in, it's been a long time since I last did such a fast double post.. LOL..

Munto OVA and Munto TV

Not doing a Munto OVA vs TV here.
Check Sankaku Complex here if you want the comparison

Basically, having watch up to Episode 5, Munto TV is a remake version of the OVA version. Probably there'll be some extra story come the end of Episode 7?,8?. The episode where the OVA 2 story is finished. (I went to watch Munto OVA 1 and 2 in expecting the TV to be a sequel)

Well nonetheless, I've to say I enjoyed Munto TV as much as I enjoyed the OVA. Always thought the OVA got too much negative reaction more than positive. Personally I find it enjoyable and at least decent. There were scenes where it goes extremely boring and the ending was very predictable but still not something that is as bad as those really poor animes.

Pretty decent show so far, for me probably still 8/10(which is what I rate both the movies). Whether the scores rises or sink will depend on the extra episodes which I hope will be another good, enjoyable arc of Munto's or Yumemi's life.

Zettai Karen Children episode 43

This episode would probably be one the most exciting episodes for Zettai Karen Children (ZKC in short).. Totally love this episode, maybe because of name relations in my real life story as well..

The returned Carrie

Caroline during University

Minamoto meeting Carrie

Carrie's Departure Kiss

Fujiko's Interruption

Episode Summary

This episode started off with a new character, Caroline, a captain being informed that the spaceship is ready to take off.. As it'll take a long time before the screen cap below, I'll just tell the whole story..

So Caroline was actually someone Minamoto knew when he was in Comerica(the fake name for America) University, a level 2 psychokinesis user.. She took part in Professor Warren's project research on making low level esper into high level esper and ended up losing her memory and personality..

The problem lies in that the new Caroline liked Minamoto and was a child-like.. And somehow or another called herself Carrie.. Carrie kind of sealed herself into Caroline after a couple of year after that incident, before waking up again..

The ZKC squad, after hearing the story, left immediately to Minamoto's aid after the search team found Carrie and him, though Minamoto was unharmed.. The Comerica appeared looking to capture Carrie while Minamoto opposed which led to the ZKC defending Minamoto. Babel Director Fujiko stopped them due to orders from the top, tying them up together and activating their limits.. Practically the last few scenes before the Ending kicks in.. Fantastic episode in my opinion and I cant wait for the next episode..

Exams, exams, exams

All of the sudden, exams are here again. After flunking (though not really, just didnt really score was well) last semesters examinations, I'll definitely work harder (just a matter of how much harder though) for the coming ones. I'm still on course for As in my core subject modules. Probably some already secure as long as I do fine to a certain okay standard.

But there's always been distractions in my study plans. ALWAYS. Be it games, movies, animes, friend outings, etc. I hope I really do study especially for subjects lectures that I skipped/attended but didnt listen.

Add in that my last holiday ended wasted and the coming holidays filled with Industrial attachment, the days in my school life are getting worst and worst.. But luckily, one more year to graduation.. And then back into the army.. and back to school....... ZZZ what a boring life.. But probably provide me with a smooth road ahead..

Aya rant - Where is my CONCERT DVD.. T_T.. Its apparently coming soon but I just cant wait.. Argh!!! The horrible wait.. By the way, screw this life update post.. -.-' Study for the week!!! And studying doesnt = less animes, games.. =D

Probably my Japanese corner have to make way as well.. As I've no time to edit whatsoever..

Sunadokei

Watch this last night and personally I expected much more than what I was given, much to my disappointment.

Brief Synopsis

Ann and her mother move to the small town of Shimane, where Ann's grandparents live and everyone seems to be familiar with everyone else. Ann soon becomes friends with Daigo, a young boy who lives in Shimane, as well as Fuji and Shiika, Fuji's younger sister.

When Ann's mother, Mikawa, commits suicide, Daigo helps Ann cope with the sudden change in her life. They fall in love, but Ann's life can only become more complicated when her estranged father suddenly arrives from Tokyo.

Well the movie was touching, not really that touching though. The plot or story was great, given that that the manga was a well-liked one. But the movie was rather disappointing because it, in my humble opinion, wasnt able to portray that REAL sadness and sufferings.

When I first saw the movie length adding the trailers and the song PV, I braced myself for some real nice emotional show which did left me crying in the end. Not because the movie was a hell of a good one and got me in tears but rather because Kaho performed 4 kissing scenes.

I'll probably check the drama and manga out if I've the time but I was kind of being disappointed by the movie to do so. The theme song was good though, sang by ikimono gakari, named Kaeritaku natta yo. Havent really checked out the lyrics, which I'll very soon.

Eventually Rating - 8/10 (+1 for Kaho)

Kaho is SO god damn AWESOME
I would fall in love with her anyday. Not that I'm discarding Aya Hirano at the moment. Just bought her concert DVDs few days back, still waiting for the shipping since its not released yet (which is why I didnt comment anything if not there'll be a waiting is gruelling part 3).

But Kaho is really awesome. One hell of a smile she have there and add the child side given that she's was still young back in the old (though not really that old) days. Right now a 17 year old girl and no doubt more mature looking when needed and still cute as usual.
Here are some of the pictures that I've found. Enjoy those smiles.
