[Drama] Mei-chan no Shitsuji

Winter 2009

Episodes: Eikura Nana, Mizushima Hiro, Sato Takeru, Yamada Yu, Mukai Osamu, Iwasa Mayuko, Kyo Nobuo...

(Note: I smell a HanaKimi-like drama coming up. The lot of the cast participated in HanaKimi as well. I spotted 3. Yamada Yu and Mukai Osamu again! Can she dump Oguri Shun and be with him instead? Well, it is not like I don't like Oguri Shun, but these two are better off together, really.)

[SP] Proposal Daisakusen

2008

Starring: Yamashita Tomohisa, Nagasawa Masami, Eikura Nana, Hiraoka Yuta, Hamada Gaku, Fujiki Naohito...

The SP took off exactly where the drama left off. Iwase Ken left his childhood friend's, the love of his life's wedding broken hearted. He took a cab and left the scene after giving a moving speech about his love for her. Rei left her own wedding in pursuit of Ken. While the cab Ken was riding in had a petrol insufficiency problem, he had to push the cab and we hear a voice calling "Kenzou!" from behind. Ken turned around and smiled.

This 2 hours show tells us that it was indeed, as everyone expected, Rei who called out to Ken as she was the only one who had known Ken as such since forever. The two had a talk and got their love affair moving. The scene fast forwards to a year later where Tsuru and Eri were to be married in Hawaii.

The wedding fell apart as the bride was discovered to be missing. Looking at Tsuru's situation reminded Ken of the wedding with a similar happening a year ago. With the help of the freaky fairy, Ken went back to the past, determined to save his friends' wedding and regained his courage to face Rei's parents.

*****

Firstly, I did NOT take a nickname from this drama. NOT. Pi is not even my favourite NewS member anyways.

Secondly, awww... I enjoyed this. Very... nostalgic. The songs, the characters. Except Yuta's hair... the hell?

It gives completion, which is what the drama didn't give. I like this.

[Movie] Boku wa Imoto ni Koi wo Suru

[Moved from my old blog.]

Starring: Matsumoto Jun, Eikura Nana, Hiraoka Yuta

Adapted from the manga of the same name, this story is about Yori, a high-school boy who has always been in love with his twin sister, Iku. Obviously this spells disaster, in capital letters --> DISASTER.

I think the direct translation of the title is "I am in love with my little sister".

I watched this movie thinking that oh, it must be something like that crappy Korean drama about step siblings or mistaken identity. And then it was mentioned that they are "futabo", so I was like... I think I know that word... futabo... OMG It is twins! I went... "Ooookay" their mom must have grabbed the wrong baby. It must be. Nothing that gross should be put on screen.

And then... it dawned on me that it IS about incestuous siblings. T_T

I am disturbed. I was like, "Watch it, watch it, MatsuJun, it is MatsuJun!!!"...

But they slept together in the most disturbing way. OMFG IT IS INCEST. THAT MOVIE IS TRYING TO CORRUPT YOUNG KIDS WHO ARE TWINS OF DIFFERENT GENDER.

But its MatsuJun. So I watched it.

This movie is not going to be watched again because "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, MatsuJun you corrupted school boy,"

But I don't think MatsuJun passes as a schoolboy anymore... he is 24. His group members Nino and Sho are also playing schoolboys in Yamada Tarou Monogatari (Have yet to watch) and Sho is a year older than MatsuJun.

Yeah but oh well... I would watch anything these boys spit out... (Not literally, heavens... even I have some sanity intact at times.)

So... yeah. This story reminds me a little bit of "Angel's Sanctuary" I forgot the characters' name but yeah... there is a hell lot of incest going on... Japanese fictional works can be really bizarre. But we will swallow it if it stars MatsuJun.

I would make screencaps but I am lazy and no one wants to watch scenes of people committing incest now do they?
