Updates

Hello guys!
I recently updated my page and on the right side, you can enjoy watching the videos. If you wanna learn Japanese, the video on the right might be of help. On the other hand, I also posted some of my favorite Japanese artists like Matsu Takako who sang Arigatou or Thank you, SMAP who sang Sonomama, Hikki (Utada Hikaro who sang Prisoner of Love), and~ uh well~ the infamous Ken Lee sang by Valentina (if I'm not mistaken). These are the videos I'm watching these days.

I'd like to talk about the video on the Prisoner of Love. This song is being used by a new drama called "Last Friends" starred by Ueno Juri (Nodame Cantabile), Eita (Nodame Cantabile), Nagasawa Masami (Proposal Daisakusen), Mizukawa Asami (Nodame Cantabile), Nishikido Ryo (N.E.W.S). These are my favorite actors and actresses in Japan because they deal the characters in depth. Well, for me this drama is an all-star cast. The drama tackles issues that afflict the current generation. Michiru's mother has brought a man back to their home and she is bullied at her workplace where she works as a beauty parlour assistant. She starts cohabiting with her boyfriend, a good young man who works at the Child Welfare Division and the only person who can give her emotional support, but ends up the victim of domestic violence and becomes fearful of love. The boyishly charming Ruka was a classmate of Michiru's in junior high school. She has performed brilliantly as a motocross racer and aims to win the national championship, but as the story progresses, a deep worry that she can neither confide in her parents or close friends grows evident. Takeru is a hair and makeup artist acquainted with Ruka. He is a good confidant to females due to his kindness and perceptiveness, and finds himself attracted to Ruka but has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life. source from dramawiki

As I watch the drama, I was impressed how the actors and actresses act. Not only that, the story has also impressed me since it's like a web of 5 different characters woven into one fine story. I recommend everyone to watch this drama, although it just started its airing. For people who're interested, you can go to www.mysoju.com to watch it. Although the download is quite slow, but it's worth it. Subarashii!! Hontoni Sugoi!
