Last Friends

Image
Synopsis: A story about complex relationship? (Sorry guys, let me try to find one decent description for I haven't finished watching the entire drama and I haven't found any synopsis on this drama) Review: Eps 1 Just finished eps 1 of the Last Friends. First of all, I was quite surprised that Ueno Juri could portray the character Ruka so well that I did not, for any second, linked her back to Nodame (her character in Nodame Cantabile). Second of all, three of the main cast in Nodame Cantabile, Ueno Juri Eita and Mizukawa Asami, are being placed in this drama. And also, their characters in Last Friends are the complete opposite of the characters in Nodame Cantabile. And finally, I did not have any negative feelings about the relationships that was being portrayed. Casts: Nagasawa Masami as Aida Michiru Ueno Juri as Kishimoto Ruka Eita as Mizushima Takeru Mizukawa Asami as Takigawa Eri Nishikido Ryou as Oikawa Sosuke Song: Utada Hikaru "Prisoner of Love"

"Thank you for coming"

Today, I went for yet another job interview. Although I have did my best from reading the company history, to understanding the job scope, to studying a new programming language, I still failed to get the job. Why? I guess that's because I wasn't ready enough as I wasn't able to answer majority of the questions that were given to me.. Maybe you might wonder how did I know the results? At the end of the interview, I was told to wait. With such a request, I was happy, for I thought that maybe the next person to come into the room, would be the HR manager, or one who will discuss further about the job. Five long minutes went by.. And finally someone came in... The person who stepped into the room was one of the interviewers. He stood just one step after entering the room, stretched out his hand and gave me a firm hand shake... and then he told me "Thank you for coming."

Gokusen 3

It's OUT! Gokusen 3 is out (I hope that there would be Trick 4 but well, it's better than nothing) Summary/Casts Currently airing in Japan, I manage to catch the first 2 episodes of Gokusen 3. Back in the sequel would be Yankumi (Nakama Yukie) and Kyoto Sensei (Namase Katsuhisa). The story focus on yet another notorious class (supposed to be even worse than Gokusen and Gokusen 2's class). The class consists of Yuya Takaki (of Hey! Say! JUMP), playing the lead male role, and joined by Haruma Miura, Hideo Ishiguro, Junta Nakama (B.A.D.), Akito Kiriyama (also of B.A.D.), and Shohei Miura. Synopsis Eps 1 The show started off with Kyoto Sensei being appointed to a new school, (and he was employed because he was credited for the successful graduation of the previous 2 school's notorious class. Which means, he was being given the credit of what Yankumi did, which explains why no one heard of Yankumi). Anyway, Kyoto Sensei did a good job in trying to mimic Yankumi(although with

Friends are...

Definition of friends: 1. A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. 2. A person whom one knows; an acquaintance. 3. A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade. 4. One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement: Source "Should I say I have a lot of friends then?" That's what I wondered a lot... I have friends, yes.. I have... But.. do they thought of me as their friends? Or are their definition of "friends" are just like 2., an acquaintance? My definition of friends is 1. and 4. Maybe I have not been a friend of such to others, but now that's what I hope to achieve and also to find in a friend.

Zettai Kareshi (絶対彼氏)

Synopsis : Izawa Riko ( Aibu Saki) is a ordinary temp staff who fell in love with a guy in the company she is working in. However, she dare not express her love for him. One day, she was given the opportunity to find a perfect boyfriend... But what she did not expect was a perfect boyfriend who is actually a robot, she named Knight Tenjo (Hayami Mokomichi), programmed to suit her ideal boyfriend expectation. Asamoto Soshi (Mizushima Hiro ) works in the same company as Riko, and Riko sees him as a jerk. He has a feel for her (which she doesn't know). Starring : Izawa Riko - Aibu Saki Knight Tenjo - Hayami Mokomichi Asamoto Soshi - Mizushima Hiro Namikiri Gaku - Sasaki Kuranosuke Asamoto Masashi - Nakamura Shunsuke Review : Just finished Episode One and I personally hope there is a happy ending. A perfect boyfriend but is a robot, how could there be a ending where the two is together. It's like those drama where there is two guys fighting for 1 lady where one is like the guard
