[TV] Domoto Tsuyoshi no Shoujiki Shindoi

Date: A very long time ago.

DoTs was asked to call a bunch of Johnny's and ask them out and do stuff that idiots do. He called Nagase first but couldn't reach him, then he called Tsubasa. I think Tsubasa said he could go within 40 minutes, DoTs was like, okay 20. Then Tsubasa really did go within 20 minutes or so. Then he called Inocchi. Tsubasa came to meet him then they went to pick up Inocchi. DoTs lied to Tsubasa that they were picking but Matchy instead. xDDD Tsubasa tensed up and was so nervous. In the van, they talked about how DoTs went to Tsubasa's house to use the washroom, and how his parents were shocked out of their pants. Then it turns out to be Inocchi who was waiting for them to pick up. Inocchi was doing a cosplay of Higashiyama.

Tsubasa is like an innocent little puppeh~~ when he is with DoTs. He looks up to DoTs a lot, you know? Its so adorable. Its like a little boy looking up to Hannibal Lecter or like, Hugh Hefner. Its really cute.

Then they went to eat and then Inocchi called DoKo after all the V6 didn't pick up their phones. DoTs tried to speak English at the restaurant then the rest followed, and Tsubasa talked about F1 with DoKo. DoKo and Inocchi were psyched about the girls in umm outfits.

The four walked around, got some takoyaki and then went to buy headgear of some sort. They then went for karaoke where Inocchi and DoKo showed how they were good senpais by messing up Tackey and Tsubasa's "Yume Monogatari". DoTs later sang a part of the song very, very well, not messing up a syllable. The other two were amazed. They called Taichi who played with them through the phone.

They then masked Inocchi and then intruded another karaoke room with four girls and KinKi Kids sang "Garasu no Shounen", their debut song. Tsubasa is so... awww. When Tsubasa laughs, it reminds me of a little kiddie. I like Tsubasa. DoKo Then left for work.

The remaining three went to the public bath. Yes, peeps of their asscheeks. Its obvious that DoTs and Inocchi went tanning a lot. Artificial or not. Tsubasa was fair from the hip down. Oh yeah, it was THAT obvious. Tsubasa and DoTs are really close, I think it is after they filmed "Summer Snow" together. Tsubasa said that DoTs is the senpai he admires most... aww... DoTs loves Tsubasa a lot too. Its a special bond. Sorta like Jun and Ryo, only less Do-S.

Then they went to pick up Okada and sent the two V6ers to M-Sta as they were performing there. When they picked Okada up, they made Okada embarrass himself by jumping and then say "Kisarazu Cats Eye" aloud, which he said it, but not as loud as I had hoped. The song V6 performed in M-sta is "Arigatou no Uta". DoTs and Tsubasa messed around during rehearsal then went off to prepare dinner after doing some grocery shopping.

Tsubasa then asked to leave as he had work the next day which DoTs allowed lovingly. Then Okada came by to have dinner. It was quite obviously awkward at first but then the tension in the air got better. They ate, they bowled, then played table tennis, then they played billiards. Then they lit some fireworks. Then it was the end. Some Kansai men bonding happened there. xD Okada is so shaggable, I kid you not.

[Drama] Summer Snow

[Moved from my old blog.]

Year: 2000

Episodes: 11

Starring: Domoto Tsuyoshi, Hirosue Ryoko, Oguri Shun, Imai Tsubasa, Ikewaki Chizuru, Nakamura Shunsuke.

Notable appearances: Tamayama Tetsuji, Tsukamoto Takashi.

Shinoda Natsuo, the eldest of three children, had to support his younger brother and sister after their parents died in an accident (I think). He was only 21 at the commencement of the drama but gives out the aura of a 40-year-old. He was a father figure to his siblings, who were still in school, as he worked at a bicycle repairing shop inherited from his parents. He worked hard without complains and had to deal with his siblings problems and he always did everything in their best interest, therefore neglecting his own.

Katase Yuki, a quiet, shy girl who works at the bank Natsuo borrowed money from. She has a heart disease since she was a kid and missed out on a lot of activities. Her overprotective father has kept her shielded from everything due to her disease.

They met and fell in love. Simple as that. Yes, it is probably that simple, they have a few obstacles yet in the end people all accept their love. She refused to go for treatment in the States because of him. He persuaded her to go.

The last episode is the crucial point of this drama. It is probably worth it. To watch the whole drama just so you could understand the last episode.

The story kicked off real slow and kinda… boring. I guess it was the trend of the drama at that time. 7 years ago was a long time ago. The storyline is simple, nice boy faces family problems, nice boy helps others, nice boy meets girl, girl is sick, nice boy loves girl who loves him back.

Oh they both wanted to go underwater to watch Summer Snow (hence the title of the drama) which is a phenomena near the seabed where the corals die and then something happens and then it looked like it was snowing underwater. And their names, NATSUo and YUKI… were actually summer and snow respectively. Not a coincidence, I assure ya.

But the ending is so worth it. The last episode is so worth the 10 hours you had to go through to watch it. It’s sad and romantic and everything yes, kinda predictable? Yes. ¼ way through the last episode you would have figured out what happened. Does that make the other ¾ of the episode pointless? No. Cos it was so good. I can’t even express how good it was in words.

Watch it again? NO. Why? Beginning was boring, ending got me wailing like a baby.

Ratings: 4/5
