Hi, new JE friends (who are mostly Eito fans because that meme isn't as many pages and I needed more correcting on that front)! It's nice to meet you and although I don't post very often, it's pretty likely to be something Asian. So: score, you get the potentially relevant posts and this one is no exception ( Read more... )

arashi, asian dramas

Agreed! If Matsuda Shota's hair was onscreen in every scene, I would be completely mesmerized out of all complaint! It's such a joy to watch him run rings around people... but sometimes I'm distracted from whatever he's saying because all my brain can think is "omg he's so pretty, look at his hair!" SIGH.

(also, yes, you should picspam eito ♥ *pokes*)
That is a completely justified poking, I have not captured even a slim fraction of my love for them yet! I made one of the first half of Spirits!! a few weeks ago but I haven't done the second part yet so I didn't post it around to any Eito comms! STILL NEEDS MOAR PICSPAMMING. LIKE, MAYBE HONJANI EVEN THOUGH MY CAPS WILL BE TINY AND TERRIBLE QUALITY. Eitooooo~ ♥♥

YAY, SPARKLEHOLE!

okay so here is the case for Stand Up!!

more of his unimpressed/snarky/critical faces

THESE FIRST: 1, 2, 3

PLUS FOUR FIVE AND SIX although six doesn't fit the theme but they go together. NOTHING IS SPOILERY EXCEPT THAT NINO'S FACE IS NINO'S FACE.

YOU AND STAND UP MAKE A COMPELLING CASE! ♥♥ I cannot ask for more than NINO'S FACE (#1! And #2! And #6! And ALL OF THEM) and OGURI SHUN IS NOT-SO-SECRETLY A CRAZY PERSON (Bwahaha, the subtitles on those are also amazing!).

With the completion of Haikei and the almost-completion of My Girl (oh yeah, where are you in that?), I'm definitely in the market for a new Arashi show or two! :D

SPARKLEHOLE. I can't get over how excited I still am about this project, I LOVE IT.

Bara no nai Hanaya! I've downloaded it but haven't actually watched it yet, but I am getting the feeling that I definitely should. It sounds pretty much up my alley.

also I am such a sucker for single father dramas; I LOVE IT when they go for the ovaries, not gonna lie! I AM THAT EASY.

Yay! I'm SO excited you're SO excited! We started this project thinking "Let's just do things how we like!"... but it definitely makes me happier to have people to share in the concert love! ♥

Based on my totally limited knowledge of your drama tastes, I think you'd like Bara no nai Hanaya! It reminds me a lot of Haikei in tone, in that it's quiet and emotional but doesn't take itself too seriously.

I CAN NO LONGER DENY THAT IT HITS ME AND HITS ME GOOD. It's funny, I'm not really someone who has particularly liked kids irl or in my fiction but there's just something about a man showing that sort of unconditional love! I wouldn't mind if these drama streak continues for me, is what I'm saying. :D

Oh geez, I am so excited for sparklehole now, what a good excuse for me to finally watch old Arashi concerts, yay!

LIAR GAME, *sigh*. Those constant flashes of everyone's reaction shot were so freaking annoying. Also, Fukunaga - I always wanted to punch him in the face, though I guess that was the actor's intention as well, so success on his part. Erika's character is just so incredibly silly though, I'm surprised fandom was so excited over LG2 when I was tired of LG1's plot 3 episodes in (though I still finished it cause I was hoping for some Erika/Matsuda Shota).

Tokyo Dogs was good, I was kind of indifferent to it at the start but got really into it during the later half. This was the first drama where I found Oguri Shun attractive! I totally didn't get the fuss over him back with Hana Kimi and HYD (I thought his HYD hair was ridiculous awful).

Eee, I'm so happy that you like the idea too! It's an excuse for everyone to watch more old Arashi footage, I actually have been starting the concerts but now I feel like I can watch them to share the love! ♥

LIAR GAME SIGH, indeed! I started the show thinking it must be good since it's S2 is so popular... but now I think that's because we all want Toda Erika and Matsuda Shota to make out! I do not blame us. In fact, phrenk and I were saying that we want the nefarious purpose of the Liar Game to be making Akiyama and Nao share a room and placing bets on when they make out and giggling happily when they do.

Also, Fukunaga - I always wanted to punch him in the face
Truer words have never been spoken, my friend! I worry for my blood pressure whenever he appears onscreen. XD

This was the first drama where I found Oguri Shun attractive!
Yeah! I liked Rui alright in HYD but I never had very strong feelings for him. Matsujun's dumb face may have distracted me though, I swear I didn't know notice how blindingly hot Matsuda Shota is until I saw ( ... )

princess_dexter lured me into Spring Waltz, too! With the promises of massive levels of OTPness, and pretty--pretty landscapes, pretty people, pretty lips... Oh Jae Ha. I don't know how to say doki doki in Korean, but he totally did it to me, however it's said.

Also, I encourage Bad Family viewing. Don't be fooled by the first episode, which is...a bit of a wet noodle, in a way! It really, truly takes off from the second episode, and sticks to the wall perfectly! (I...don't know what that means either. I...I started with a pasta analogy, so I had to see it through?)

Thank you for reminding me of the existence of Haikei, Chichiue-sama and my need to have it in my life.

WORD. Actually, Daniel Henney doesn't do anything for me but man, Jae Ha's eyes? I was gone for him immediately but I only fell farther when he turned into such a teddy bear. :) I loved Spring Waltz so much more than I expected to!

(I...don't know what that means either. I...I started with a pasta analogy, so I had to see it through?)
Hee, don't worry, I'm following you through that maze of metaphor! Or at least your intent. Bad Family is something that's long been on my list because I really can't get enough of non-traditional, unrelated by blood families! It's always great to get another rec of it though, it makes me so excited for when I do start it!

You're welcome! I'd say you really do need Haikei, Chichue-sama in your life and I'm only too happy to help remind you! :D
