Of all the songs that I love, Nothing touches me as much as this song.
The songwriter is the same person who wrote the Mou Koi Nante shinai nante, and he wrote this song for SMAP-sama. I know their voices ain’t the “saikou” but it is a great song. I’ll just give you the KAT-TUN version, since I love them (When I still love Jin sooo much, when he isn;t so emo-Americanized )

And this is NEWS version. 2004. Tegoshi’s voice… is so good.

These are the lyrics by Megchan

Hanaya no misesaki ni naranda
Ironna hana wo mite ita
Hito sorezore konomi wa aru kedo
Doremo minna kirei da ne
Kono naka de dare ga ichiban da nante
Arasou koto mo shinaide
Baketsy no naka hokorashige ni
Shanto mune wo hatte iru

Sore na no ni bokura ningen wa
Dousjite kou mo kurabetagaru?
Hitori hitori chigau no ni sono naka de
Ichiban ni naritagaru?

Sou sa bokura wa
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
Hitori hitori chigau tane wo motsu
Sono hana wo sakaseru koto dake ni
Isshoukenmei ni nareba ii

Komatta you ni warainagara
Zutto mayotteru hito ga iru
Ganbatte saita hana wa doremo
Kirei dakara shikata nai ne
Yatto mise kara dete kita
Sono hito ga kakaete ita
Irotoridori no hanataba to
Ureshisou na yokogao

Namae mo shiranakatta keredo
Ano hi boku ni egao wo kureta
Daremo ki zukanai you na basho de
Saiteta hana no you ni

Sou sa bokura wa
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
Hitori hitori chigau tane wo motsu
Sono hana wo sakaseru koto dake ni
Isshoukenmei ni nareba ii

Chiisai hana ya ookina hana
Hitotsu toshite onaji mono wa nai kara
Number one ni naranakutemo ii
Motomoto tokubetsu na only one

I looked at all kinds of flowers
Lined up in front of the flower shop
Each person prefers a different type
But they’re all beautiful
None of them fight
Over who’s the best
They just stand up tall and proud
In their buckets

So how come we people
Want to compare ourselves like this?
Why do we want to be the best
When everybody’s different?

Yes, each of us is
A flower there’s only one of in the whole world
Each of us has their own seeds
So let’s just do our best
To make them grow into flowers

There are people whose smiles are strained
Because they’re completely lost
But it doesn’t matter
Because every flower that’s worked so hard to grow is beautiful
Eventually someone came
Out of the flower shop
Carrying a bunch of flowers in all different colours
His face looked so happy

I didn’t know his name
But he gave me a smile
Like a flower that had bloomed
In a place nobody had noticed

Yes, each of us is
A flower there’s only one of in the whole world
Each of us has their own seeds
So let’s just do our best
To make them grow into flowers

Little flowers and big flowers
Not one is the same as another
You don’t need to be number one
You’re special, the only one of you, to begin with

Of course. You know from young until now, People keep on comparing you, pushing you down when you do not fit the expectation of the society. Flowers are referring to us humans who always need to follow to be the same as others, but actually, we can be different and be appreciate by others too! We need to accept others too, and people will accept us as well. This song sure made me cry every single time i sing it. I can never finish the song without crying. It is just so touching.

This may be the first time I talked about a female idol in mt blog.
Yes. Apparently, she should be talked about because I like her beauty and her great body.
But then that girl is now married. Yep. Tokyograph reported it.

So…. Now… Akanishi who appears with Leah so often in CartoonKattun is no longer a candidate,
And fans can rejoice, same as Ryo who fancies her, Fans of Ryo could also rejoice, but then I won;t rejoice or anything. I do not rejoice when I think Leah might then have an awkward turn in her life.

She is only 22. Well, she can get married, but this is a shotgun marriage, because she is pregnant.
I am concerned about the mistakes that she had brought herself to. Sure enough, it might be a mistake. An idol with a rising career won’t do anything to halt it…..Leah has done it. She still loves the spotlight, and this could be explained as a mistake that is why she chooses to marry.

Well… Leah, dear Leah. I hope all will be well for you.
I do not criticize one when she has fallen to a situation where she had to take the only way out
At least i respect her for keeping the baby.
Hope Leah will be happy, and even if something happens, I hope no one will step on her while she has fallen into the trap hole.

Even though I AM NOT A FAN, just someone who admire her, I will send my wishes to her for good luck.
Hope anti-fans would not bash her that much. She is human after all, she can make mistakes.

edit: Well, The stylist’s name is Bun who is said to resembles Johnny Depp. The video clip has been removed…. apparently… so We will just imagine a Japanese looking Depp-san.

I would like to say a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to NEWS!
It has been their 5th Year, and they are still shining so brightly on stage….

This will be my message…

Reports have come in that 18-year-old actor Yuya Yagira was hospitalized early Friday morning after an apparent suicide attempt. Yagira had attempted to overdose on drugs in his Tokyo apartment, but someone called emergency assistance and he was taken to a hospital. His condition is said to currently be stable.

_________________________________________

Why does such a young actor who is so successful like Yagira wanted to such things?
His popularity is going really well, being only 18 and had achieved such admiration all over the globe, yet he wanted to end his life. He is not the only first actor who does that though.

Expectations. Expectations. Expectations.
Once one had climbed up to a position that a high, people wanted more and more expectations of that individual when it was at his limit.
We are not the sky that we can always climb up, everyone has their limits as well.
To push someone like this, will only push them to a corner that they really wanted to die.

Didn’t Toda Erika said that too? She was so tired, and people were expecting things from her. She wanted to die. (Cartoon Kat-tun 40)

Why does popular people think this way?

Just think this clearly. When our parents are expecting us to achieve something, we don’t want them to see our failure. We need to win that achievement. But popular idols and actors takes a step way beyond us. We are expecting of them too. Even though we are supporting them, they didn’t want to upset us. So they tried their best. In the end, they are the one who ended up suffering all on their own.

What should be done? How can society stop repressing individuals like this? Why does society expected so much of us and gets upset with us?

This is one of the reasons why suicide still exists.
In Japan, which has one of the highest rates of suicide, might expected too much from this indidvidual. If only the society lets go and welcome freedom to one’s life.

If one society stop having too much expectations….
I guess the suicide rates shall decrease.

I hope Yagira-kun will be alright. After this, I hope he would not suffer like this all alone anymore.
Even though I do not know him that well, i just hope he doesn;t have to push himself any further.
Suicicds does not only mean attention seeking…..but it really means an individual who wanted to tend his suffering in this world that has been too heavy for them, the walls closing on them, the why sky is clashing onto them.

Yagira-kun….please don’t push yourself…..
Please take care of yourself, and whatever  reasons for why you did this,
I hope you can understand that life is really precious
Please let go some of your worries, and look at the positive reasoning of life.
You are still young, and there are thousand of things you can learn.
If you fail, i think fans will understand.
Don;t push yourself if you can no longer climb up the sky.
