*takes a deep breath* I caught up on a lot of things recently. Random, hastily-scribbled thoughts are blow the cuts. Spoilers, of course.

First, I FLAIL at you for starting Long Love Letter!! YAY! Someone who gets it! *giggle* Isn't is just so different and fabulous because of it?! *claps* I really think it is one of my all-time favorite Japanese dramas because it's so unconventional and does a great job at being so while still giving you the things that a normal drama would. :D

Oh and it's seishun not seishin; the latter is the name of Taguchi's solo from the "Real Face" tour. *giggle*

Third, out of curiousity, why can't you be more passionate about NewS? Things can change. *smile*

Ah, I agree with your third point! NEWS is awesome ,and resistance against them is futile. ♥

So true! For awhile last year, I was in denial about enjoying NewS and then I ended up ramdomly buying "Touch" when I was shopping with a friend and it was like, "What am I doing denying this?! It's impossible!" *laughs*

xD; Yeah, I got into KAT-TUN August last year, and then I heard about Yamapi and NEWS and stuff like that, and I watched Nobuta wo Produce, and I listened to NEWS' music, but I still kept telling myself that I didn't really like NEWS.

And then I stopped denying that after I watched the TEPPEN PV with them playing the water. >_____> Gyah, why do you kill me with hot and cute, NEWS. ♥

*sigh* misspellings-r-us today! That's what happens when I type too fast and don't proofread...

I am so fascinated by Long Love Letter - I love it when I can't predict what will happen, and that is definitely the case here. And the characters are interesting, particularly Asami and Misaki, who are mesmerizing thus far.

Third, out of curiousity, why can't you be more passionate about NewS? Things can change. *smile*

I like NewS, don't get me wrong! I bought Touch ages ago, same time I bought Best of KAT-TUN, although I don't like it nearly as much. It's probably because NewS will forever be light, sugary pop for me...although I hold out hope that this could change, and sadly I am invested in JE groups musically along with all the rest, which is partly why I'm not more passionate about Arashi, too. Music was how I first got into KAT-TUN, after all, before I had any idea what they looked like. I like rock music and KAT-TUN at ( ... )

You know, now that I step back for a moment, your reasoning for not liking NewS as much as KAT-TUN makes absolute sense to me. :) "Touch" I love because it's pure pop, but as I was saying to someone after NewS' last performance on Music Station, KAT-TUN is a much better batch of singers on the whole in comparison to NewS. Musically, they are a more mature sound than any of their contemporaries (Kanjani8/NewS); I remember being quite startled by that when first listened to "Best of KAT-TUN" and nearly turned off! *laughs* But, I think, from here on out, NewS is only going to grow (now that they can without interruptions for the most part) and their music will hopefully grow with them. :)

We begin with Kai and his hunt for a post-college job, which he is already stressing over, even though he still has a year of school to finish.

I forgot to address this in my first post, but normally, Japanese university students start searching for their jobs after college in their third-year of college - shushouku katsudou (literally, "activities ( ... )
