U~uuun the wind right now is absolutely TERRIFYING...it's like a freaking hurricane out there!! And even tho I'm listening to my music super loud like always, this time no matter what I can always hear the wind blowing outside...Thank god I got home before that started, or else it'd suck to go home in the middle of another typhoon thing ^^;
Anyway, today I went off to Lalaport in Yokohama (for about the billionth time this week but eh)!! It's a super huge shopping mall that opened on March 15th. Since today was a weekend, it was, not so unexpectedly, MASSIVELY crowded. I don't like shopping when it's crowded, mainly because it makes it a pain to look around - for example, at one of my favorite-st stores in the world, Swimmer, I wound up not getting anything even there were a lot of things I was willing to buy, because that place is the size of a closet and thirty people had smashed inside (smashing me along with them). Le sigh.
I did, however, manage to buy a pair of quite mismatched earrings. One earring is gold and dark blue Earth charm, the other one is a silver spaceship with a purple crystal as the window with a little star hanging off, and then a plain clear crystal as another part of the set. There are tons of cute earrings for people with more than the normal two piercings....I am seriously contemplating getting one or two more piercings in my ears. : D
Aaaaand then after that my friend and I went to go see "Sakuran"!!! It stars Anna Tsuchiya and is based on a popular manga by the same title. It depicts the period of when the Yoshiwara culture was in bloom....right before the geisha culture popped up.
Promo poster for Sakuran:
First and foremost, the music and the cinematography was absolutely AMAZING!!!!
Shiina Ringo was in charge of the music...yes that awesomely talented and sexy rockstar Shiina Ringo-sama!!!
And the colors were super vibrant and just....oh, the only way to describe it is that is so pretty to look at!!! There was a lot of sakura and goldfish. There was also a lot of ikebana, my favorite-favorite being silver colored bamboo of different lengths with bouquets of purple flowers blooming from the top.
Anyway I thought Tsuchiya Anna did a pretty good job....and the guy who plays Seiji is really hot XD Though it bothers me that he met Kiyoha (played by Tsuchiya Anna) when she was like....7 years old, and about ten years later he hasn't aged a bit??? Also Kimura Yoshino was in it, and I love her so much!!! Except she wasn't a friendly person in this movie so I couldn't like her character XD;
And Narimiya is in this movie as Kiyoha's first lover...I started laughing in my head when he popped up cause I was like...GAH NOBU!!! XD And Oguri Shun is also in the movie for literally two seconds as a flower boy but it was super cute!!!
So...my opinion of the movie, if you couldn't tell (since I am pretty random XD;) is REALLY GOOD. I'd definitely wanna see it again, tho it had so much sexual content it must AT LEAST be a soft porno. And when Kimura Yoshino dies gallons of blood literally explode from her neck, not funny. o_O
Anyway, the three oiran (top courtesans) of Tamagiku-ya!
And a screencap I randomly stole from Japanese person's blog, who must have taken it from a morning news segment...it's a scene from the movie, but the reason I chose to put it here is cause the guy on the right is the hot-o I was drooling over half the movie XD
Hope everyone is taking care~! Since it's shifting into spring, the weather is all blah-ish (>_
