I didn’t know that Tamaki sang! =P I was doing some random surfing on youtube and then I came upon clips of his live singing as well as his music videos! Lol XD I think his voice is quite nice =)
loL! I read that he is a singer too but haven't gotten to checking his music out xD I think I might find it a lil weird at first because he's always been the actor but I bet it will be nice too especially how you mentioned him having a nice voice! yay! ^_- This reminds me of Nodame xD I'm halfway through watching the anime & it's been lovely! I downloaded the soudntrack too & miss practicing in the orchestra all of a sudden xD I hope you have been enjoying playing piano!
Isn't it cute?! xD I wanna go there too! Would be best if we could both go together!! hahaha xD The musical note on the cake & the anime pictures are cute! The autographs & the one that takes the cake has definitely got to be Nodame-chan's ROOM!!! hahaah! The room that gave Chiaki nightmares! xD xD somehow I just want to snuggle among all her soft toys & other fluffies! heheh!
I still have a couple more years to go before I graduate so I’m very envious of you right now XD Are you excited about moving onto a new phase of your life? What are your plans after college?
lol, Yea I just graduated a week ago! ^__^ Enjoy your school years cuz somehow...you might miss it! ^_- & yea, your turn will come soon! All the best!! It is exciting about startinga new chapter & right now, I'm taking a break & taking it easy first before getting a job which I plan to stick to for a some time. lol! I need to gain some experience before moving onto bigger things ^_- Also, I'll be strating on my driving lessons soon. (^^;) I've been so slow in getting my license xD It feels good to finally start on it! What's exciting at your college lately? ^__^
I recently got a part-time job working at a local pharmacy and I’m also volunteering at a hospital
Oohh, how's it been so far? ^__^ What has been the highs & lows of it? ^_- Hope it's been going all right!
I love classical music as well! Sometimes I enjoy listening to them aside from all the Johnny’s that I listen to day in and day out. I also really enjoy the OST for One litre of Litres because some of the songs are really soothing! =)
Me too!!!!!!!!!! <33 lol! A loev for classical music also branches out to loving musicals, sountracks & some new age mixes too ^__^ I guess I just really love music in general (all except techno & super bubble gum pop) so that's why I have varied taste when it comes to artists. I enjoy dancing to them too at times xD & I. LOVE. ONE LITRE OF TEARS OST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's fantastic & makes me teary when I remember the drama~ Aya-chan <3
I recently watched Witch Yoo-Hee, a Korean drama that a friend recommended to me. It’s pretty good and it has Kim Jeong Hoon in it! The guy who played Yui in Goong? (Have you watched that one?) It’s got a little bit of comedy and romance twist to it so I liked it =)
Thank you for the recommendation! Yes, I watched Goong before & it's nice to be able to see a familiar face again! I miss watching korean darmas too despite me thinking that they tend to go to the over dramatic/fatal direction more often than j-dramas! lol! The costumes & scenery/settings/colours are very pretty though! ^__^
Ok Sumi, sorry for teh long overdue replies hahahah! Now that teh internet is back & somewhat functioning smotthly, I doubt there'll be anything overdue anymore (hope not xD) I've got to go settle some driving classes stuff now & catch up on Cartoon KAT-TUN!! hahah that show tickles me everytime! I think it has partly to do with how I have a soft spot for each member of KAT-TUN & their baka ways so it just makes the show more amusing & fun for me xD
i am so excited!! XD We're back to our old selves and our long long fangirling comments!! XD i missed them =]
WARNING *Long reply ahead too!!* XDD
Nana 2 compared to NANA was a big disappointment =( I can’t say it was absolutely horrible since there were little parts that I liked but I think overall, it was kind of bad compared to the first nana movie. I guess it could be one of those movies that you could watch on a day when you have nothing to do =P
HANA KIMI was love =) I didn’t expect myself to start watching it so quickly either XD My plan was to wait till at least 5 episodes before I began watching it but somehow, my plan didn’t work XDDD maybe cause I was too excited for it. The first episode was SO good though XDD Shun’s black hair is to die for XD and maki as always is sooo adorable =]] She makes me want to cuddle her =]]]] I also watched the second episode! And Toma is love =) I just love the fact that he’s falling for maki for whom he believes is a guy XDD So he thinks he’s gay XD Too adorable XD
YES!! Hanadan movie! Or so I’ve heard. I really hope it comes true to satisfy us hanadan fangirls XD I’m starting to miss all the characters =P Everytime I listen to the hanadan theme songs brings me back all the hanadan memories XDD
Bambino! =]] I just finished watching the drama recently. My overall impression on it is alright but I can’t say it’s one of my favourites =( I had hoped the drama be a little more exciting sometimes and with more romance =P But jun is still cute in it XD Everytime he smiles makes me all melt-y inside!! =P But I would recommend Pride over Bambino even if I do love Jun XDD Pride is just overall a very good romance drama =)))
Hahah! Awww, you’re not a full-fledged arashian =P But it’s alright! Maybe with more fangirling with me, you’ll eventually find yourself loving them too XDD I actually came upon Arashi as well from watching Jun in his earlier dramas. At first, I only liked Jun but after awhile, I found that all the members of Arashi had something for me to love them about! XD So eventually, all of them grew on me and my heart had a soft spot for all of them =PP I guess its different for different fangirls though! Like NewS was never my cup of tea either =P I like their music, their music videos, their boyish charms and cuteness but I never became their fan either XD
Nodame!! =) How has the anime been? I did consider starting the anime but I tend to loose interest in animes after awhile if their episodes get a little long in their pacing. But thank you so much for the links to the Nodame Café! The pictures were adorable and the food pictures make my mouth water. (Just like how food in Bambino makes me hungry! XD) and I loved the Nodame Room best of ALL! It was so cute and looks too comfy XDD
I am so excited for you for your graduation! =) I guess all those long years of textbooks and readings and exams all paid off! XD I haven’t gotten my driving lessons either actually XD I guess the bus was always my thing XD School has been out for the summer for awhile now so nothing has been going on much lately =P I have just been busy with my work and my volunteering stuff which can get very very tiring sometimes. Volunteering has been great because I’ve been getting a lot of experience with the hospital and such but very tiring because I have to wake up very early to get there on time =(
KOREAN dramas! I miss watching them too =P After Goong, I kind of lost myself in Japanese dramas until someone recommended me Witch Yoo Hee. But has there been any particular good ones that you’ve watched and worth recommending? Also I still prefer j-dramas, I do miss watching good Korean dramas =)
KAT-TUN!!! XD It’s been so long since we’ve talked about Kattun!! Actually, I’ve been falling behind on their news and stuff recently as well. I’ve been too busy and when I do have time, I end up catching up on dramas rather than their shows and such. It’s been awhile since I’ve watched Cartoon Kat-Tun XD Oh, how much I miss kame =P
okii~ Mas-chan! I shall end my replies here =) Hope you’re doing well, catching up on some dramas ad listening to some johnny’s! XD I can’t wait to hear from you =)) Take careeeeeeeeee =)
Warning: expect the obvious! xD xDarcinmyskyJuly 19 2007, 18:30:29 UTC
Heya Sumi-chan! ^__^// So nice to hear from you & yes! Long fangirling comments pattern has resumed! xD xD *kyaaahh*! Thanks for your reply & sorry for my late one (^^;)
lol, this might sound mean but I think I will really give NANA II a pass (^_^;;; It's a pity as there's an actor I like in it (Narimiya Hiroki) but the plot sounds uninteresting so yea...will pass it, as of now & take your advice on watching it (with FAST FORWARD button in hand) on a day I have nothing to do O_o hahhah! I'm glad that there were some parts you enjoyed in the movie though ^_- How was the music? First one still better? My friends who have touched the movie, manga & anime seem to favour the anime best so I might just stick to that xD
& HHHHAHAHAAHAH I have to confess something~ my plan in waiting out for Hana Kimi to reach a little further first did not work too! <^_^; xD xD hhah! Hana Kimi really makes us lose resolve eh? It was too tempting so I caught episodes 1 & 2 as well hahah! I LOVE the manga so much & I've been a fan of it for some time now so could not resist not catching it. So far the drama's been cute & funny xD I think Shun in black hair is unbelievably stunning!! I agree with you- it's to die for!!! The last time I saw him like that & was 'stunned' was when he acted in DENSHA OTOKO <3 I think Black is really his colour xD & yes...lotsa rabu for Maki-chan!! *cuddles along with you* She is so cute & I love her gutsy attitude & lol, poor her havin to be surrounded by the sometimes uncomfortable antics of guys xD whaah Toma (who is the most guysih of guys what with showing off hsi Captain of the football status!!) having the whole gay complex *adorable!!!* The scene at the restaurant of him & Maki killed me xD I am curious to know more abt his friendship with Sano (Shun) though as it seems they go some ways back but something happened (._.)
"Everytime I listen to the hanadan theme songs brings me back all the hanadan memories XDD" Me too!!! The songs are just too perfect for the show, & the emotions powerful that you will remember the hanadan scenes so well! I MISS THEM SO MUCH! I keep telling myself to rewatch but am such a coward as it might get me teary again xD hahah I think I just might soon enough ^_-
Oooh thanks for your views on Bambino! I'm definitely going to give it a go partly because I LOVE food- whether it be cooking, feasting or admiring! hahahah, so with that in mind, I might enjoy the show alot even if it might not have much romance (would have been better if it did though! xD) & yes, PRIDE!! Got to go watch that! It's a must!! Recently with all the good things I have been hearing abt this series; I caved & watched Junno's HANAYOME TO PAPA xD xD xD *gets all melty* hahahah It's a dorky & cute/fluffy, hilarious (in an exaggerated way) dorama & I like it so far! I have 4 more episodes to go & am excited for it (just as I am excited for the finale of LIAR GAME to be subbed woohoo!~ )
Thanks for sharing your story abt becoming Arashian with me! It's so cute & rather funny because it is the same as what I went through, only it was with KAT-TUN!!! Instead of Jun, it was Kame for me (fell in love with his acting & a bit of his personality) & then this exact same thing happened to me with the remaining members: "...all the members of Arashi had something for me to love them about! XD So eventually, all of them grew on me and my heart had a soft spot for all of them =PP" It's exactly the same! haha *hi five* & yea I checked out NewS too but...I dunno why I did not fall hard as well. I just like Yamapi & Ryo's doramas ^__^ I'm weird that way xD I think for KAT-TUN, a huge part has to do with their music being slightly edgy with rap & beatbox & them having so much conflict yet trying tehir best to stay as a group & overcome everything while having clashing personalitues, thus bringing diff flavours to the team xD & that itself is weird because ppl usually don't fall for problematic groups! xD (^^; It's groups who have strong bonds & friendships that usually get admired alot. So yea...it's all interesting though! & YEA!! Who knows, maybe with your fangirling I just might become full fledged! heheh!! ^_- BTW, Yamada Taro Monogatari is out!!! Hope you have been enjoying Nino & Sho!! <3
NODAME!!!! I completed the anime & I LOVED It!!! <33 (but then again I am too in love with Nodame Cantabile so I might be biased xD Plus I am an anime fan in general xD) Did you know that the manga is still running & it continues Nodame & Chiaki's story in France?!??!?! (*^o^*) I love that pairing so much! Anyway, something to share with you ^__^
I have a weird attraction to Tamaki's hands (WEIRD I know!! xD) so the 2nd pic KILLED ME! (♥_♥)
Sorry to hear abt the early hours you have to face due to volunteering~ the experience you are getting sounds so interesting though & definitely a way to apply all that you have learnt as well as for future job benefits hopefully ^__^ Hope you get to catch up on rest more often during off days! ^_- As for Korean dramas teehee *hides face* I have only watched 2 so far & that's really little compared to the j-drama list! xD I've watched Winter Sonata & Goong <3 Once again I'm objecting to the masses by saying this however I did not enjoy Winter Sonata at all!!! (^^; & it was such a huge hit nonetheless! My friends kept recommending it to me as they said it was one of the best -dramas & it made them cry so much. Unfortunately I did not like it (._.) I did enjoy Goong though!!! Loved the cast & expensive production (oohh the colours, costumes & otehr aesthetics!! xD) The relationships were deep too however I admit to not enjoying the melodrama & extra angst during the last part before the finale. Overall, I love the drama! ^__^ I hope you get to check out some really gd ones soon! I miss watching K-dramas too & have Witch Yoo Hee on my list ^_- Thank you!
This post has been ridiculously long (^^; so pls don't be obliged to reply to everything k? I just got excited (as always xD xD hehhehe) when talking to you hence the ridiculous length & ramble! xD (^^; Thanks for listening & you take gd care too!! The weekend is coming!! Have fun planning something enjoyable & enjoy Hana Kimi episode 3!!! (Toma with panties on his head?!?!?! NANI?!?!? hahahah xD)
I’m so happy to hear from you! and so soon =]]]] On with the long long reply ahead! X]]]
NANA! Ooo! I love nari very much too =) I remember when I first saw him in Gokusen with Jun and thought he was kind of cute =P But at the time, I was paying too much attention to Jun (even though he had a weird hair-do) and neglected narimiya! XD But then I watched Stand-Up and loved him in that one. I’m also watching Karei-naru Ichizoku right now! The recent Kimura drama and Nari also plays in it =) Nana music? Hmmm..i would say I liked the music for the first nana movie more but that’s just cause I wasn’t really paying attention to the songs in the second movie XDD Speaking of Nana casts, I’m actually watching a drama called Ushi ni Negai wo: Love & Farm right now. It’s played by Tamayama Tetsuji who played as Takumi in Nana (The long haired one from the Trapnest band). Although I’ve only watched one episode, it’s a cute drama about nature and the environment. A little different from your typical j-drama but in the first episode, they ACTUALLY helped a cow give birth! It was quite amazing I must say =)
HANA KIMI! HAHAHHA! Oh mas-chan! You couldn’t resist either!!! XDDD The episodes just get better and better and better! I just finished watching episode three actually and I loved it! Toma is absolutely adorable! I just love the fact that he keeps telling himself that he likes women but when he sees maki, he just can’t resist XDD And yes, I Loved the restaurant scene with him and maki Too!! X]]]] Episode 3 wass sooo good X]]] I shall not fangirl too much on it until you watch it because I don’t want to spoil things for you =P But I loved the little “I’m not gay” song that Toma sings in that episode XDD But I have to say that Shun is loosing to Toma for on-camera time =( I wish I could see more of Shun sometimes…WITH HIS SEXY BLACK HAIR! XDDD Although I love the drama very much up till now with maki, toma and shun, my favourite character in it is actually Minami! XDD The Leader/Head for Maki/toma/shun’s dorm (Is it dorm 2?) Minami is played by Mizushima Hiro who I absolutely ADORE =)) He played as Kamen Rider Kabuto and I’ve had a poster of him on my wall for a very long time XDD I can’t wait for episode 4!! And actually, I was kind of curious of what happened between Shun and Toma’s friendship too. Maybe and hopefully they’ll explain it in later episodes =)
BAMBINO! X]] I forgot to mention something last time but there’s an episode about desserts. And SUMI-CHAN LOVES desserts XDD So my mouth was practically wide open throughout the whole episode. Everything looked so good X]]]
I haven’t had the chance to start Hanayome To Papa yet =P Although I’ve heard great things about it! I have a couple of dramas that I’m watching right now (Why why Love, Liar Game, Ushi ni Negai wo: Love & Farm, hana kimi, Karei-naru Ichizoku and yamada taro monogatari) and haven’t had the chance to start any new ones yet =P Yamada taro monogatari is such a cute drama! I’ve only watched up to episode 2 but it makes me smile when I watch it! And YES, I have been enjoying Nino and Sho. Nino is my little chipmunk because of the way he smiles XD The little kids that play as Nino’s brothers and sisters are soo cute too X]]
But back to Hanayome to Papa! XDD I always come upon screencaps for the drama and everytime, it makes me want to watch it cause Junno looks so cute!! =P Maybe it shall be the next drama I start after I finish the Season Finale of Liar Game which I’m waiting very patiently for =)
KAT-TUN! XDD I wish I had more to fangirl with you about Kat-tun but I’m currently Kat-tun deprived =P I haven’t had the chance to keep up with their news and such so I don’t really know what’s been going on. Since you’re a full-fledged Kat-Tun fan, what has been the loveable 6 been up to lately? XD
NODAME!! Ooo! Your reply got me all excited! XD Now I want to go watch the anime because I want to know more about what happened further with Nodame and Chiaki!! Will they be making a Nodame Season 2? XDD I hope they will so I can watch more of their cuteness XDD and Thank you for the pictures!! MUAH! XD My expression was like this “O_O” when I saw them cause they were too beautiful! XDD and why do you have an attraction to tamaki’s hands? XDD I have an attraction to his face…HAHHAAH XDD
HANADAN! Oh, I wish that there will be a hanadan movie! *crosses fingers* I also just finished episode 1 of “first kiss”, the new drama that Inoue Mao-chan is in! She plays as a spoiled girl and really different from Makino XP But it just shows how great of an actress she is because she can play in any role! X]] But nonetheless, she’s still cute in it XDD I found a link to her blog awhile ago here: http://www.mao-inoue.jp/diary.html She sometimes posts pictures! She’s adorable and makes me miss hana yori dango even more XDD
My volunteering is ending by the end of this month! WHOOHOO! XD Which means I will be a little less busy! Less busy = more dramas time XDD My job has been quite hectic lately as well so I’m usually quite tired when I get home =P KOREAN DRAMAS! Hehe =P I’ve actually not watched that many myself =P But I did enjoy Goong best out of all of them! I have to agree with you, all the aesthetics in it was soo nice; the clothing and scenery and such! =]] I’ve been meaning to watch “My Sassy Girl”, the series because it got high ratings but I never got around to it! XD I’ve actually never watched Winter Sonata before and I think I’ll pass on that one since you mentioned you didn’t quite like it =P I shall focus more on the J-dramas instead XDD
This reply has been ridiculously long as well XD I hope you’re doing well and having lots of fun in this nice summer weather! =33! Take care my dear =)
[p.s. the replies keeps getting narrower and narrower...XD]
tamaki's face or hands- they're all addictive! xD xDarcinmyskyAugust 31 2007, 20:02:08 UTC
Hey (^O^)/! How are you Sumi dear? I've been terrible at keeping in touch, I'm so sorry! (^^;;;; Things have been busy here~ I'm teaching part time & re organizing my ever messy life (both physically & mentally lol) , while juggling to keep up with fandom too (we sure get serious abt fandom no matter what the situation xD) & I need to make some big decisions, so using alot of my brain cells to think (which can be tiring (^^;). Once I get those decisions out of the way, I hope to reply to your thoughtful comments soon yea? (once again thank you for the long replies!! ♥) I'm really sorry for this speedy one but I was wondering how you are & if things are going good there! How you doing? (Has school started for you?) Hana Kimi has been <3 <3 <3!! I hope you have been enjoying it lots! Your Nanba-senpai (heheh) is looking more handsome with every episode ;) He has a charming & cute smile xD Maki is SUPER CUTE!!! :3 & the rest make me laugh out loud alot! xD

As a group, they just filmed a 2 episode special for KAT-TUN CARTOON where they went to Okinawa ^^ & they have a new interesting & ?? expensive looking xD docomo ad out.
I hope Arashi boys have been bringing lotsa fandom smiles for you! It sounds crazy but I really loved Jun's Bambino (& have it as my wallpaper now lol!!)I guess the drama touched me in some weird ways xD I heard alot fo good things abt K-drama's COFFEE PRINCE *grins* & it's on my to watch list. Honestly though dramas have been on hold for me now & I have not touched them in a long while (^^;; I did catch Rush Hour 3 & Harry Potter in the cinemas & am looking forward for Ratatouille (I luv animations)!
Take care yea? & we'll chatter lots more next time ( I love our cheerful chatter sessions! xD)
More importantly, stay in touch & I hope things are not too hectic there! Stay genki!

ps: HANADAN MOVIE-----> I HAVE NOT STOPPED SPAZZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (*O*) ♥ TOO HAPPY FOR WORDS!!
loL! I read that he is a singer too but haven't gotten to checking his music out xD I think I might find it a lil weird at first because he's always been the actor but I bet it will be nice too especially how you mentioned him having a nice voice! yay! ^_-
This reminds me of Nodame xD I'm halfway through watching the anime & it's been lovely! I downloaded the soudntrack too & miss practicing in the orchestra all of a sudden xD I hope you have been enjoying playing piano!
Also, check out the Nodame Cantabile Cafe in Japan ^__^:

Cafe Nodame Cantabile #2
Cafe Nodame's Room
Isn't it cute?! xD I wanna go there too! Would be best if we could both go together!! hahaha xD The musical note on the cake & the anime pictures are cute! The autographs & the one that takes the cake has definitely got to be Nodame-chan's ROOM!!! hahaah! The room that gave Chiaki nightmares! xD xD somehow I just want to snuggle among all her soft toys & other fluffies! heheh!
I still have a couple more years to go before I graduate so I’m very envious of you right now XD Are you excited about moving onto a new phase of your life? What are your plans after college?
lol, Yea I just graduated a week ago! ^__^ Enjoy your school years cuz somehow...you might miss it! ^_- & yea, your turn will come soon! All the best!! It is exciting about startinga new chapter & right now, I'm taking a break & taking it easy first before getting a job which I plan to stick to for a some time. lol!

Oooh thanks for your views on Bambino! I'm definitely going to give it a go partly because I LOVE food- whether it be cooking, feasting or admiring! hahahah, so with that in mind, I might enjoy the show alot even if it might not have much romance (would have been better if it did though! xD) & yes, PRIDE!! Got to go watch that! It's a must!!
Recently with all the good things I have been hearing abt this series; I caved & watched Junno's HANAYOME TO PAPA xD xD xD *gets all melty* hahahah It's a dorky & cute/fluffy, hilarious (in an exaggerated way) dorama & I like it so far! I have 4 more episodes to go & am excited for it (just as I am excited for the finale of LIAR GAME to be subbed woohoo!~ )
Thanks for sharing your story abt becoming Arashian with me! It's so cute & rather funny because it is the same as what I went through, only it was with KAT-TUN!!! Instead of Jun, it was Kame for me (fell in love with his acting & a bit of his personality) & then this exact same thing happened to me with the remaining members: "...all the members of Arashi had something for me to love them about! XD So eventually, all of them grew on me and my heart had a soft spot for all of them =PP"
It's exactly the same! haha *hi five* & yea I checked out NewS too but...I dunno why I did not fall hard as well. I just like Yamapi & Ryo's doramas ^__^ I'm weird that way xD I think for KAT-TUN, a huge part has to do with their music being slightly edgy with rap & beatbox & them having so much conflict yet trying tehir best to stay as a group & overcome everything while having clashing personalitues, thus bringing diff flavours to the team xD & that itself is weird because ppl usually don't fall for problematic groups! xD (^^; It's groups who have strong bonds & friendships that usually get admired alot. So yea...it's all interesting though! & YEA!! Who knows, maybe with your fangirling I just might become full fledged! heheh!! ^_- BTW, Yamada Taro Monogatari is out!!! Hope you have been enjoying Nino & Sho!! <3

I have a weird attraction to Tamaki's hands (WEIRD I know!! xD) so the 2nd pic KILLED ME! (♥_♥)
Sorry to hear abt the early hours you have to face due to volunteering~ the experience you are getting sounds so interesting though & definitely a way to apply all that you have learnt as well as for future job benefits hopefully ^__^ Hope you get to catch up on rest more often during off days! ^_-
As for Korean dramas teehee *hides face* I have only watched 2 so far & that's really little compared to the j-drama list! xD I've watched Winter Sonata & Goong <3 Once again I'm objecting to the masses by saying this however I did not enjoy Winter Sonata at all!!! (^^; & it was such a huge hit nonetheless! My friends kept recommending it to me as they said it was one of the best -dramas & it made them cry so much. Unfortunately I did not like it (._.) I did enjoy Goong though!!! Loved the cast & expensive production (oohh the colours, costumes & otehr aesthetics!! xD) The relationships were deep too however I admit to not enjoying the melodrama & extra angst during the last part before the finale. Overall, I love the drama! ^__^ I hope you get to check out some really gd ones soon! I miss watching K-dramas too & have Witch Yoo Hee on my list ^_- Thank you!
This post has been ridiculously long (^^; so pls don't be obliged to reply to everything k? I just got excited (as always xD xD hehhehe) when talking to you hence the ridiculous length & ramble! xD (^^; Thanks for listening & you take gd care too!! The weekend is coming!! Have fun planning something enjoyable & enjoy Hana Kimi episode 3!!! (Toma with panties on his head?!?!?! NANI?!?!? hahahah xD)

I’m so happy to hear from you! and so soon =]]]] On with the long long reply ahead! X]]]
NANA! Ooo! I love nari very much too =) I remember when I first saw him in Gokusen with Jun and thought he was kind of cute =P But at the time, I was paying too much attention to Jun (even though he had a weird hair-do) and neglected narimiya! XD But then I watched Stand-Up and loved him in that one. I’m also watching Karei-naru Ichizoku right now! The recent Kimura drama and Nari also plays in it =) Nana music? Hmmm..i would say I liked the music for the first nana movie more but that’s just cause I wasn’t really paying attention to the songs in the second movie XDD
Speaking of Nana casts, I’m actually watching a drama called Ushi ni Negai wo: Love & Farm right now. It’s played by Tamayama Tetsuji who played as Takumi in Nana (The long haired one from the Trapnest band). Although I’ve only watched one episode, it’s a cute drama about nature and the environment. A little different from your typical j-drama but in the first episode, they ACTUALLY helped a cow give birth! It was quite amazing I must say =)
HANA KIMI! HAHAHHA! Oh mas-chan! You couldn’t resist either!!! XDDD The episodes just get better and better and better! I just finished watching episode three actually and I loved it! Toma is absolutely adorable! I just love the fact that he keeps telling himself that he likes women but when he sees maki, he just can’t resist XDD And yes, I Loved the restaurant scene with him and maki Too!! X]]]]
Episode 3 wass sooo good X]]] I shall not fangirl too much on it until you watch it because I don’t want to spoil things for you =P But I loved the little “I’m not gay” song that Toma sings in that episode XDD But I have to say that Shun is loosing to Toma for on-camera time =( I wish I could see more of Shun sometimes…WITH HIS SEXY BLACK HAIR! XDDD
Although I love the drama very much up till now with maki, toma and shun, my favourite character in it is actually Minami! XDD The Leader/Head for Maki/toma/shun’s dorm (Is it dorm 2?) Minami is played by Mizushima Hiro who I absolutely ADORE =)) He played as Kamen Rider Kabuto and I’ve had a poster of him on my wall for a very long time XDD
I can’t wait for episode 4!! And actually, I was kind of curious of what happened between Shun and Toma’s friendship too. Maybe and hopefully they’ll explain it in later episodes =)
BAMBINO! X]] I forgot to mention something last time but there’s an episode about desserts. And SUMI-CHAN LOVES desserts XDD So my mouth was practically wide open throughout the whole episode. Everything looked so good X]]]

I haven’t had the chance to start Hanayome To Papa yet =P Although I’ve heard great things about it! I have a couple of dramas that I’m watching right now (Why why Love, Liar Game, Ushi ni Negai wo: Love & Farm, hana kimi, Karei-naru Ichizoku and yamada taro monogatari) and haven’t had the chance to start any new ones yet =P Yamada taro monogatari is such a cute drama! I’ve only watched up to episode 2 but it makes me smile when I watch it! And YES, I have been enjoying Nino and Sho. Nino is my little chipmunk because of the way he smiles XD The little kids that play as Nino’s brothers and sisters are soo cute too X]]
But back to Hanayome to Papa! XDD I always come upon screencaps for the drama and everytime, it makes me want to watch it cause Junno looks so cute!! =P Maybe it shall be the next drama I start after I finish the Season Finale of Liar Game which I’m waiting very patiently for =)
KAT-TUN! XDD I wish I had more to fangirl with you about Kat-tun but I’m currently Kat-tun deprived =P I haven’t had the chance to keep up with their news and such so I don’t really know what’s been going on. Since you’re a full-fledged Kat-Tun fan, what has been the loveable 6 been up to lately? XD
NODAME!! Ooo! Your reply got me all excited! XD Now I want to go watch the anime because I want to know more about what happened further with Nodame and Chiaki!! Will they be making a Nodame Season 2? XDD I hope they will so I can watch more of their cuteness XDD
and Thank you for the pictures!! MUAH! XD My expression was like this “O_O” when I saw them cause they were too beautiful! XDD and why do you have an attraction to tamaki’s hands? XDD I have an attraction to his face…HAHHAAH XDD
HANADAN! Oh, I wish that there will be a hanadan movie! *crosses fingers* I also just finished episode 1 of “first kiss”, the new drama that Inoue Mao-chan is in! She plays as a spoiled girl and really different from Makino XP But it just shows how great of an actress she is because she can play in any role! X]] But nonetheless, she’s still cute in it XDD
I found a link to her blog awhile ago here: http://www.mao-inoue.jp/diary.html She sometimes posts pictures! She’s adorable and makes me miss hana yori dango even more XDD
My volunteering is ending by the end of this month! WHOOHOO! XD Which means I will be a little less busy! Less busy = more dramas time XDD My job has been quite hectic lately as well so I’m usually quite tired when I get home =P
KOREAN DRAMAS! Hehe =P I’ve actually not watched that many myself =P But I did enjoy Goong best out of all of them! I have to agree with you, all the aesthetics in it was soo nice; the clothing and scenery and such! =]] I’ve been meaning to watch “My Sassy Girl”, the series because it got high ratings but I never got around to it! XD I’ve actually never watched Winter Sonata before and I think I’ll pass on that one since you mentioned you didn’t quite like it =P I shall focus more on the J-dramas instead XDD
This reply has been ridiculously long as well XD I hope you’re doing well and having lots of fun in this nice summer weather! =33! Take care my dear =)
[p.s. the replies keeps getting narrower and narrower...XD]

How are you Sumi dear? I've been terrible at keeping in touch, I'm so sorry! (^^;;;; Things have been busy here~ I'm teaching part time & re organizing my ever messy life (both physically & mentally lol) , while juggling to keep up with fandom too (we sure get serious abt fandom no matter what the situation xD) & I need to make some big decisions, so using alot of my brain cells to think (which can be tiring (^^;). Once I get those decisions out of the way, I hope to reply to your thoughtful comments soon yea? (once again thank you for the long replies!! ♥)
I'm really sorry for this speedy one but I was wondering how you are & if things are going good there! How you doing? (Has school started for you?) Hana Kimi has been <3 <3 <3!! I hope you have been enjoying it lots! Your Nanba-senpai (heheh) is looking more handsome with every episode ;) He has a charming & cute smile xD Maki is SUPER CUTE!!! :3 & the rest make me laugh out loud alot! xD
Also, right now KAT-TUN is busy with their acting projects - kame & koki in upcoming dreamboys, jin in a new drama that starts shooting in sept (he will have pink hair lol!!!), Maru's drama is on now (Suhshi Oji), not too sure abt Ueda & Junno lol. As a group, they just filmed a 2 episode special for KAT-TUN CARTOON where they went to Okinawa ^^ & they have a new interesting & ?? expensive looking xD docomo ad out.
I hope Arashi boys have been bringing lotsa fandom smiles for you! It sounds crazy but I really loved Jun's Bambino (& have it as my wallpaper now lol!!)I guess the drama touched me in some weird ways xD
I heard alot fo good things abt K-drama's COFFEE PRINCE *grins* & it's on my to watch list. Honestly though dramas have been on hold for me now & I have not touched them in a long while (^^;; I did catch Rush Hour 3 & Harry Potter in the cinemas & am looking forward for Ratatouille (I luv animations)!
Take care yea? & we'll chatter lots more next time ( I love our cheerful chatter sessions! xD)
More importantly, stay in touch & I hope things are not too hectic there! Stay genki!
