Finally got around to this list! Remember; I won't be talking about ALL the doramas, only the ones that have interested me or caught my eye.

Full List:

( As usual a LONG list ) )


List credit goes here.

Now to my list!



( Give me it all now! ) )


WILL WATCH DEFINITELY THIS SEASON: Hope, YowaMushi, Aogeba Totoshi, Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto

---

The LACK of HS doramas this season is shocking! Usually summer season is the HEIGHT for HS dramas...

I watched this film back in.... like January! o_O Sorry it took me so long!! But I can clearly remember this film which is good! ^_^ my review for the two part SP that you MUST watch before seeing the movie is here.


kurosakikun




This was sexy!! I defo felt myself get hot a few time. It's rare we get a Japanese production that goes past the 'Japanese people don't really kiss on screen' stereotype which was really nice and it also made this movie all the more exciting because you wasn't sure how FAR they would take it. And they defo went back what I expected! I definitely expected proper kissing but there were extra that I was just thrilled to see xD and made my heart race haha

( Heartracing! ) )

---

Overall: It's probs best to watch this movie when no one is around cos I got a lil hot in the cinema while I was watching it. For a Japanese film, this definitely goes past the 'Japanese people don't really kiss on screen' stereotype. Oh my. This was a great conclusion and I liked the ending! A lot of fun and very sexy!! ^_^

This is my third update of this series of the year and also my third update of it in less than a week (I've wrote all three posts in a week but the times they come out might be different)! But I am determined to catch up! As always, everything except the 'Overall' sections are (possibly) full of SPOILERS!




Corpse Party [Japan - 2015  5/10]

( Kids in a HS alone ) )



Overall: Not the best made movie production and quality but I was definitely creeped and freaked out (I am NOT a horror person) and IkeP was just sexy the entire time <3 But that ending was so confusing and hurtful though!





The Liar and His Lover [ Japan - 2013  8/10 ]

( A story about music and struggles ) )


Overall: I definitely needed more Sato x Kubota in this xD but I really enjoyed thiss greatly and I like how it was about music and the darker themes of the music industry, it's a sweet story, amazing voices and a few tears were dropped.





The Magic Hour [ Japan - 2008  9/10 ]

( High praises to no end! ) )


Overall: This was amazing! This is a VERY highly produced and high quality movie with amazing acting and visuals and music and the comedy and the story was so good and entertaining! Amazing cast and acting too! This director knows what he's doing!







Udagawachou de Matteyou [ 2015 - Japan  6/10 ]

( Cuteness! ) )



Overall: This was so cute and I love how Mario's character was just the sweetest and so supportive! I really like the topic they dealt with and I like how they dealt with it. I wish there'd been more time so we could've learnt about the characters more and I wish we'd had more time to develope their relationship, some parts did feel a bit rushed.

PS. Subs for this are not out yet and I'm currently working with those that ARE making the subs.





Senpai to Kanojo [ Japan - 2015  8.5/10 ]

( The pureness! ) )



Overall: Yoshine's face annoys me, it's has a standard Japanese HS romance plot, and the ending let it down but everything else was so cute, so pure, so heartwarming!! I related immensly to the main girl character which enhanced my enjoyement of the film, and JunJun is just so <3333 in it! I enjoyed this a lot!! I already wanna rewatch this.





Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai SP [ Japan - 2015  8.5/10 ]

I thought I'd already revied this on my blog but for some reason I cannot find the post about it at all! Did I fuck up? Oh well here it is coming to you like 4 months late!!


( Too sexy xD ) )


Overall: I loved every moment of this! It's hilarious, ridiculous and all so sexy <3 I love all the characters and the actors in this and it had me squealing like a fangirl a LOT! In a way this plays out every girls fantasy of being outright fought over by two guys xD I found every moment of this and I could not wait to watch me. << I have since watched the film xD


---

And that's 6 more reviews done!! I think I have ONE more batch in this series to do before I've fully caught up so long as I don't watch and finish anything before them xD Let me know all your thoughts, opinions and fangirlings below!

Not gunna lie, minus the anime, I watched all these in the past 3 days! Becareful for SPOILERS and don't forget my massive 14 part review that I did last time, here. All my other 'Last Things' can be found under this tag.



( Some beautiful Nijiro caps btw ) )



---

And that's it! I hope you enjoyed those reviews xD I do apologise for the language. I think I'm gunna try and do a non-swearing review next time as a challenge xD I am now going to go and watch Assassination Classroom and Kabukichou Love Hotel I think now. it's only 8pm and on my day off so I can easily fit in two movies right! ^_^

Have you seen any these? Want to see? What did you think? Any recommendations?

Rating: 8.5/10

Overall Thoughts: Ahhh man I want so much more! Give me 3 more episodes with Mita and her at the end!!! =[ where to start with the dorama.. it's set in a bookstore <3 it has Chiba and Daito <3 the romantic relationships are great <3 the character and plot developements are great <3 I freaking love whoever styled Chiba!! <3 I thorougly enjoyed this even though I couldn't stand the MC. But that was the only negative to it; her -_- BUT I do feel like I need about 3 more episodes xD It was so enjoyable and I had tears and it has cuteness and shocking twists and is just so good! Also, Riko is just THE ideal woman!!

Did you watch this? What is your verdit?! What do you feel about these watch-a-longs overall? Love them? Hate them? Want more?

PS. Next watch-a-long accouncement will probs be up within the next week!! So look forward to it!

Today almost didn't happen! I'm so tired and was about to get into bed when I remembered I had to watch the episode by tonight!! xD So here it is luckily! Glad I did watch it tonight cos OMG!! So turns out this discussion wasn't suppose to be due til Sunday... Oops? O well, here it is! Episode 9 will go as planned and won't be out til Sunday!



SPOILERS!



( Who's the world's cutest cinnamon roll?! ) )



---

I don't apologise for the swearing nor the smilies nor how long this entry is!! xD


Overall Thoughts: How can this be the penultimate episode when so much shit is still going down?! I want at least 3 more episodes - please!!! I hath finally decided that I cannot stand Aki, like HARD ROCK HATE I have for her xD The development with Tashiro was shocking that I actually yelled 'Oh shit!' in RL xD I seriously have no idea what is gunna go down in the last episode but omg am I excited!! OH! Also Mita is the cutest cinnamon roll <33

Did you watch this episode? What did you think? On a scale of 1 to Mystical_Powers, how much do YOU hate Aki and the actress?

Episode 6

( Meanies ) )


Episode 7

( What is going on... ) )



---


Overall Thoughts: I'm glad we got a more work-romance balance this time around! It's great to see both romance developments, character developments and work developments going on all at once and now we're reaching a stage where all of them are affecting each other's outcomes which is great! I think the main point of my fangirling this time around was; I love Mita's costume director xD and something still isn't right with Tashiro and it's like 'I MUST KNOW NOW!'

What did you think about these two episodes? What about the costumes?

SPOILERS


( A slower episode this time ) )




---


Overall Thoughts: This one was a lot slower and much more serious. There was less focus on the romantic developments and more focus on the serious aspects of the dorama. But of course it still had it's 'oh shit' moments and that ending was a bit 'omg' xD I am still amused and enjoying this dorama! Already half way there and I already don't want it to end!!

We are at episode 4! And the heating is starting!


SPOILERS


( Ah shit! ) )




---

Overall Thoughts: There was a twist I wasn't expecting! Well it's a slight twist which might not actually be a twist but I really hope it ain't true! Daito was HELLA cute in this episode and once again I just wanna curl up and read a book til I fall asleep!! (But gotta finish that bitch of a drama Age Harassment first). I feel like the main character is starting to learn and mature but it's at a snails pace and she's still as stuck up as alt and still very punchable, which reminds me: Was is Okada Masaki's birthday today? Someone spammed loads of his pics on tumblr today...

What did you think?! Do you think he's really doing that?! What do you think of the main girl?

Here we have discussions for episodes 2 and 3!!

Check out when discussions will go up here.


SPOILERS

Episode 2

( Way too cute to be real! ) )

---


Episode 3


( Look at this bitch. Hey Aki, What's Good? ) )


---

Overall Thoughts: I am still enjoying this! The romance developments and stuff are definitely juicy and exciting to watch! But I hath decided that the main young girl is annoying and rude with no manners, and what makes it worse is that I've learnt she is an AKBer and I don't think I loathe anything much as in the world as I do with AKB -__- BUT! Chiba and Daito are just the CUTEST!!!!! Like holy hell crap it's cutenss overload with them <333 I am interested in seeing how the relationships will work out and develope, and more importantly the bookstore! We've only had little mentions about the store but some shit is definitely building xD

Overall Thoughts: A VERY pleasng first episode! I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was very funny and OMG the cuteness of the all the guys! *dies* and I'm happy the bitch from AG isn't a bitch in this <3 I absolutely loved doramas that revolve around bookshops so this an ideal dorama for me!! I can't decide on the romance yet or not... but we'll see! Also, not sure on whether the main girl is annoying yet or not. But I am very happy with this first episode and seriously want to watch more!


What did you think? Let me know below!!

The second Watch-a-Long is here!



[livejournal.com profile] tbscreenrider has some time off and we were talking about what doramas we should watch together. Tb suggested this and after much searching I finally found two places that have all the episodes (one with raws and one with subs) so I am happy to announce that: THIS IS A GO!

You are welcome to join us!

Before we get into the details can I just mention something? The bitch from Age Harasment is in this -__- and I'm only calling the character here cos she is a very nice and good actress! Just her character in AH is just... ugh! xD

Aku no Kyoten [Japan - 2012] 8.5/10

( Movies Galore! ) )

Daito Shunsuke as Rei

Chiba Yudai, Nishii Yukito, Mitsuya Ryo or Tsuchiya Shion as Nagisa

Taguchi Junnosuke or Miura Shohei as Makoto

I have no idea who I'd cast here. I couldn't think of someone that I could put in such a hateful role... any ideas guys?

And finally....

Hongo Kanata or Suzuki Katsuhiro as Haru-chan!!

So whatcha think? Any you agree with? Would change? Let me know as I reblog reply or message me =]

Well I went back to university this week and I am shatter after having to run around helping 1st years and being the the Japanese Society Comittee... But now it is finally saturday and I can now relax for 2 days - YAY! So I thought I'd have a fangirlism and picspam and stuff today...

So firstly... here is the Japanese society comittee and me minus our president who doesn't like pictures and took the picture for us! xD

P1070335

Secondly... due to watching Beginners I have fallen back into my Kis-My-Ft2 and Kitayama Horimitsu, Tamamori Yuta and Fujigaya Taisuke obsession for the time being so little picspam! ^_^

FujigayaKitayama1

(( credit to ALL the rightful owners - enjoy! )) )

I've been listening to Kis-My-1st this morning and so far my favourites are Kickin' It and Take Over xDD
And it's so nice to finally hear Studio/CD versions of 3D Girl, Me, My, Mine and FIRE BEAT! =]

You can tell my KisuMai bias pair is Fujigaya/Kitayama ne! xD

Thirdly, I came across some actors I'd seen now and again the past but really caught my interest (either for the first time or again) today so here's a picspam of: Yamada Shintarou (who looks like Igarashi Shunji sometimes seriously), Kawano Naoki and a good old favourite Miura Riki! ^_^

Yamada Shintaro 2


(( picspam prettiness )) )

And my dream was SO weird last night. All I remember is needing to read Percy Jackson Book 2 and the 2nd movie trailer was out and called Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters and Gold(en) something. Then this girl decided to defy Brik from The Middle so I challenged her and then kicked her really hard (I must have been angry, I only ever take my anger out in my sleep o_O) and then I was moving a load of Japanese novels from my dads house to my house (I was in my element being surrounded by novels written in Japanese! xD). THEN a Pagan train went past near a club where me and my friends get together (in the dream, this pub does not exist in RL as far as I'm aware xD) and it was SO long and had a rodeo game on it and loads of beer and people dressed in purple and lace and one was dressed as a witch xD Which I know pagan is really about! haha Finally, Takagi Shinpei and Takagi Manpei came to the pub! *insert picture*

TakagiTwins1 (2)

(( pictures inserted )) )

And my friends were like 'you can't tell them apart!' and so I spent the rest of the dream telling them that you can tell the difference and what was different between then xD

Btw did I ever tell you about that vampire dream and the Ouran cast turned up and Chiba, Shinpei and Manpei were crossdressing!!!

ouran9close
ouranchiba

I think that's all....

Finally Minna san, have a good weekend!!! =D

Final picture <3 Gotaa end it with my husband Kamenashi Kazuya ne! ^_^
