The Last Things I Watched Part X
PREVIOUS POSTS
I rewatched two things recently (a drama and a film) and I don't think I've done reviews for either of them so that's great! xD As you can tell again... there is a running theme called 'I cannot get enough of Yamazaki' once again xD
As always beware of major SPOILERS under the cuts and possible spoilers over the cut!
Clone Baby [Japan - 2010] 10/10
I wish there were better posters for this ='[ Also shame that I could only find SD files... just you wait til I can get a hold of Blu-Ray versions in Japan *checks amazon* holy shit there's a photobook!!
But no Blu-Ray ='[ This is a rewatch for me. First watched it back in 2010/2011. Holy crap where do I start with this one?! Does 'I fucking love this dorama so much' count as a good start and a good review? Cos it's true! Matsuzaka <3 Yamazaki <3 I basically rewatched it cos I love this dorama, not seen it in 4/5 years and wanted to see Yamazaki's role <3 Going into it this time, I could not remember the plot or story at all which was great! This dorama is just as confusing the second time as it was the first time! BUT the answers were far more unstandable this time around. It was great also rewatching it after like 300 doramas/movies and going back and being like 'HOMG HOW DID I NOT SPOT YOU THE FIRST TIME AROUND?!' and stuff ^_^ I love the opening/ending songs. Btw, did you know this was shot in Yokohama, that place I just happen to be moving to? And you wanna know why I'm moving to Yokohama? Cos all the doramas are filmed there ALL the time!! xD Clone Baby is no acception <33 Plot, location, acton, story are all amazing! It was great reguessing and trying to figure out what the hell was going on xD Just have tissues prepared seriously! Talking about it makes me wanna rewatch it again already! Please say I'm not the only one who's seen this?!?!?! Definitely be rewatching this again soon xD Also, I need new episodes, an SP, a season 2 and a movie please!!
I found it weird that Masamune's sister always called him 'Masamune-kun' instead of 'onii-chan' - I found it way too weird. I was also shocked to discover Ozu in Clone Baby is actually Gou in KR Drive?! What the actual?! o_O how could he be so attractive in this yet be totally unattractive in Drive?! What happened in the past 5 years?! o_O haha Maybe I'm just attracted to the fact his character can play baseball in this?? ... I cried at Ozu's death
The car ride after he passed his training was hilarious xD I cried when Sometani's began the workers song half way through the film .<
Zettai Reido [Japan - 2010] 5/10
I love Japanese cop/detective shows so naturally, cos this has two seasons and an SP, I had a lot of expectations and unfortaunately it fell flat and sometimes boring, also Ueto Aya -__- Ueto just seems to play the same immature, boring, stupid, bland, faking innocence character in everything she does - so boring! The crimes/mysteries were also very easy to figure out and so it annoyed me that it took the characters so freaking long to figure it out! But I do like the other characters and I like how it was set in an 'unsolved crime' department. Defo not a high standard of detective dorama at all. Ueto's character of figureing the crimes out felt very unrealistic too. I don't think I'll be continuing on this series.
Endo Yuya has an episode!! <3
Eien no Bokura Sea Side Blue [Japan - 2015] 7/10
Tbscreenrider already knows my views on this SP but let's get on with it... YAMAZAKI!! <33 KUBOTA!! <33 YAMAZAKI x KOBUTA!! I did not like Yamazaki's hair in this! BUT, his character was seriously the nicest, more perfect guy in this world!! Why can't he be my boyfriend?! Saying cool, mature stuff like you did *dies* <33 Kubota's character was so cute too!! "Ar-arigatou" <33333 And I freaking love the comedian playing Buri-san <3 It was great seeing Kubota play an angry guy - shows his scale as an actor <3 But OMG I cannot stand Tsukamoto Rika -_____- her character was a total dick too! She was such a stupid ass. Bitches be crazie. I felt the choice of music was cheesy and bad but I guess using such English music is cool in Japan but just did not work for me. I felt the romance developed a litle too fast but having said that, there was no indication as to how much time had passed really =/ I felt the story was a little flat but some of the performances were great. Yamazaki needed more screentime though!
KISS HER MASA!!! << I said more than once xD he's such a sweetheart <3 But omg the Yamazaki x Kubota fight was just *drools and dies* <3 they were so close to kissing too!! xD But that's my fangirl mind at work >.< TAKU!!!! Poor Taku
Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu [japan - 2012] 8/10
Another rewatch which I watched last night and it's rating has not changed. I mainly rewatched it cos I didn't noticed Yamazaki in it the first time around and so watched it this time for his sake <3 I did not like his hair when it was tied up though -_- Down it was sexy and the colour was nice too xD was funny seeing him and Matsuzaka back together after being on Clone Baby together. But jesus Matsuzaka's wig was BAD! So glad it went after a while. If that was his real hair all along then damn he needs a new stylist! xD This film was just as good the second time around <3 Enjoyable, cute and great character development also!

I am rather tipsy right now, fantasing about Yamazaki and Clone Baby while listening to BackStree Boys and drinking wine xD I hope you enjoyed these reviews! Do let me know if you feel I should hide my reviews completely or if the non-spoiler sections are too spoilery! Also, sorry for lack of screencaptures...
Have you seen any of these? Can we PLEASE fangirl over Clone Baby and Yamazaki?!?!?!!? Where there too many spoilers in my non-spoiler sections?
