I have this really strange feeling the whole night…
I don;t know what…….do it seems just so weird…
This strange feeling…..I hope nothing bad happens….

I am watching Stand Up at the moment, and i don’t find it as interesting as IWGP

But I watch it for the sake of my four fave actors.

Whatever this feeling….I just hope all would be okay..
Nothing bad should happen to anyone around me… me or people I love.. (like idols)

I took only one day to finish this series. I would say this drama is indeed…… clever.
( I got to give credits to SARS fansubs who provide the subs so i can fully understand it)

There are so many themes in this drama and especially on how the contemporary society of Japan was exposed in the drama. This is my review of what types of issues are in the drama.

Ikebukuro is just like another Shinjuku/Shibuya, with commercial, entertainment, shopping departments and where these contemporary issues took place.

First of all, I would like to point out three most important categories of issues here.
One, the sex industry or culture, second, the gangster culture, third, the social issues.

“Enjo kosai” or compensated dating was very vivid in here. Random girls have walked over and invited men out for a meal in their favourite expensive restaurant. There were a few characters in the drama that represents that role. Those girls would ask men, mainly those salary men, to take them there, eat really expensive food, ripping money off them. Enjo Kosai does not necessary always include sexual intercourse, but it usually starts from a meal, karaoke, usually the girls will try to rip as much money as they could.

The character, Rika commits the enjo kosai, and after she met with Makoto, she quit her behaviour and break off with the middle age, salary man who she asked to buy a 20,000 yen lollipop. She didn’t have any intercourse with the men, yet she was later found dead in a love hotel.

Another part in the drama would be the telephone/dating (TELEKURA) club where the student which claims to be pregnant with Masa, but she was just ripping money off Masa. Since she is just 15, her friends threatened him to pay up for the abortion or else he would be reported to the police.

Hostess/ Host/ Dating/ Sex clubs is also highly seen in the drama. Chiaki, Makoto’s neighbour works in the sex club, mainly she is a prostitute. The optimistic thing about her character was she was a good person, it is only her career that pollutes her image, but that was not much of an offense in this drama.

(The pic over here .. Nothing happened)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Another character which Koyuki (The pretty girl from Last Samurai) acts as Kana, she is a yakuza’s lover, works in Makoto’s fruit shop, likes Makoto, and works at night time as a role-playing partner who took the role of a nursery teacher, much like a “cosplay” but in an “image club” which prosititutes took on cosplaying roles.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<(This scene totally disgusts me)

Makoto was brought twice into a club I don;t know how to describe. where girls will surround him with their large boobs.There would be a special time in which this harem of women trying to be Gorilla… and OMFG. (.This scene reminds me of Akihabara @Deep. The rival Maid Cafe did something like this. The difference? That is my Tegoshi’s close senpai dayo!

(Thanks God I am not so much of a Nagase fan. I will freak out)..

Makoto and Hikaru went to this “couple kissa” to investigate on a suspect who killed Rika. It is a coffee shop which couples go to… and you know…. stuff happens. This Nagase’s expression will show you and explain to you without me snapshot-ing the things happened.

As for the host club. Makoto went to be a host once, to earn money to help Masa.

Young Gangsters culture, I am not an observer of gangs, but the coloured gangs in this drama is interesting. It reminds me a bit of Getbackers in Shinjuku area…… But then yeah, The G-boy, the Black Angels…. are two gangs which want to be king of Ikebukuro. So they have riots, fights, some one murdered… and that happens to be the guy I love too much….but then yep. Even though there are gangs and stuff, i think it is rather an anti-gang drama. Makoto was never involved as a member, but as an outsider. Rather impressive with that touching speech he made. On another note, Takashi the king of G-boys…… has an incredibly cute personality. Even though he is twisted. I find his personality rather animated and cute.

Yakuza, I am dead sure that I should not bash them, but they are just like what you would have imagined… all thrown into this drama. Trying to rule a terriorty, playing puppets behind the scenes including death threats, support of either gang for influence, drug dealing…. and couple of other stuff….including handsome, young Satoshi having his pinky finger cut off because he was unable to protect the yakuza’s daughter from being raped, kidnapped, murdered and those were all on the video. But Satoshi didn;t die.

Hikkikomori, I have written about them before, somewhere in this blog, so I would not say much about that they are. But It is good that focus on this part, about how those shut-ins are having a difficulty, and society expects them too much. However, if just one person tries to open their world and bring them out, i guess that would be helpful.

Voyeur/ Stalkers has an episode. There are a 24 hour online camera, like a Big Brother show but the pretty girl will be in there, while the peverts would watch them and sometimes, stalk them. This is indeed a good topic to raise up because I suppose idols are being stalked! Have you heard the girl who recieve the clip where a man dances in the clip, but the room is her room??!??! That urban legend might be true. Who knows? I know this girl stalker who stalked my wushu friend for a while. But that was ages ago. But a oyaji otaku stalking girls can be scary.

Death of an God, how can he still look so cute even though he suppose to be dead in the drama? This has nothing to do with this essay I wrote, I just want to include him in. Tegoshi’s admired senpai. Yamashita TOMOHISA, 8 years ago.

I will just be addressing this parts that I can focus on.
It will be a 3000 words essay If i account on all, just those parts that interests me.

Ratings for this drama, I would give an 8.7/10.
I love the storyline, the acting and the way how this drama moves.
But I totally hate the main girl in here. Annoying as hell, and her voice is too high.
Anyway, a drama you might watch (before you get older and forget the youth life you had)

hai!
Yamapi and Tegoshi forever rocks..
and Nagase too…. He is my fave senpai in JE!

I think I gain a Tegoshi radar……..whenever he will appear on TV, I accidentally switched on the keyhole… and I …….spot him…..

thrice.

This happened today too!!!

Here is a snap shot of his itte q pic today!

His tan faded now. Thanks Kami-sama.

Well it did yesterday.
There was a problem with my registry and I kinda clean them… so it really did get cleaned…
By all my registry being gone…
I can;t connect to the internet, work on microsoft… or even get my files pasted…

But i use a tricky way to transfer all my files to my harddisk so I was kinda lucky..
The prblem was the svhost.exe… I dont knwo what it is too.. it is not a system of windows
but i was still wodnering what it is…it still appears everytime i am online…… so guess i need to remove them soon!!!

But at least I could connect to the net after installing all my hardware back.
Thanks whatever God is up there.
Okay… before I get my baby dying once again, i shall log off and update more later!

It will be 30 days left for my time in Sydney!
Well, I really like this place so I hope I could stay longer~

But My mission back to Thailand gotta be a bit tough…
I wonder if I could accept those social expectation pressure on me again…
Grr….. Being in the adult world is so troublesome…
You got to smile when you didn’t want to,
Laugh even when you think the joke is lame.
I have to speak what they wanna hear,

I really miss time being alone and being with friends who I can really be myself.
Like when I went to Japan, I was totally myself.. The happy-go-lucky, friendly and genki girl who jumps and cuddle around people…. but if i were to act this way in the society they want me to be a certain way, they would think I am retarded or immature…. but I wanted to have a carefree life…..I want to speak words straight from my heart, who I like, I would tell them directly …. who I don;t, I just ignore them.

But the world was not meant to be created this way.
The world is full of riots, expectations and situations in which I myself sometimes wishes I could embrace the freedom like wild koalas… and kangaroos…

I am ranting again after such a long time!
This is my 30 days alone in Sydney again, So my muses are waking up from their sleep. I always wonder why my muses sleep when people are around me..
I feel I am more addicted to the world of my own more and more these days…

For course, I love being around friends… Only the ones who I really can open up my true self….. and smile with the real smile that shines directly from my kokoro.

Counting down~~

And it is today…….. The birthday of the sweet angelic, romantic, boy who inspires my muses to force me to write. Tegoshi Yuya! Tanjoubi Ometedo!

How I wish I could send my voice out as a sweet gift for you!!!!
I really wanna to make a wallpaper… yet I am not too free yet hahah
But Then I will update more tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

Loads of love!!!,

I have not updated!!!!
I have just managed to finish all my essays, Only to leave the final comment from my supervisor!
So happy!

Yes.. It is the 10th!
It is Tegoshi’s Pre-Birthday!
I will wish him a better birthday wish tomorrow…

But then I guess when It comes to a person you like,
You have to accept all changes….Even if Tegoshi becomes sooooo tanned!!

But if that is what he likes right now, then its great!!

Whatever makes him happy…

Tegoshi

First if alll…… he should un-tan himself a little!!!!!
He is getting too tanned……(I am contradicting myself)
and if he wants to really tan, he should have darker lips………so it will not make him look too pale!

anyway….. That is for Tegoshi’s pre birthday!
