I rewatched two things recently (a drama and a film) and I don't think I've done reviews for either of them so that's great! xD As you can tell again... there is a running theme called 'I cannot get enough of Yamazaki' once again xD
As always beware of major
SPOILERS under the cuts and possible spoilers over the cut!
Clone Baby [Japan - 2010] 10/10I wish there were better posters for this ='[ Also shame that I could only find SD files... just you wait til I can get a hold of Blu-Ray versions in Japan *checks amazon* holy shit there's a photobook!!
But no Blu-Ray ='[ This is a rewatch for me. First watched it back in 2010/2011. Holy crap where do I start with this one?! Does 'I fucking love this dorama so much' count as a good start and a good review? Cos it's true! Matsuzaka <3 Yamazaki <3 I basically rewatched it cos I love this dorama, not seen it in 4/5 years and wanted to see Yamazaki's role <3 Going into it this time, I could not remember the plot or story at all which was great! This dorama is just as confusing the second time as it was the first time! BUT the answers were far more unstandable this time around. It was great also rewatching it after like 300 doramas/movies and going back and being like 'HOMG HOW DID I NOT SPOT YOU THE FIRST TIME AROUND?!' and stuff ^_^ I love the opening/ending songs. Btw, did you know this was shot in Yokohama, that place I just happen to be moving to? And you wanna know why I'm moving to Yokohama? Cos all the doramas are filmed there ALL the time!! xD Clone Baby is no acception <33 Plot, location, acton, story are all amazing! It was great reguessing and trying to figure out what the hell was going on xD Just have tissues prepared seriously! Talking about it makes me wanna rewatch it again already! Please say I'm not the only one who's seen this?!?!?! Definitely be rewatching this again soon xD Also, I need new episodes, an SP, a season 2 and a movie please!!
( OMG Galore )
Wood Job [Japan - 2014] 7.5/10I know Tbscreenrider loves this film! I did enjoy it but I felt it somewhat lacking. It wasn't amazing but was definitely beautiful, funny at points and I loved seeing Sometani, once again, playing a not so serious character =] Sometani <3 Tanaka <3 This film is not blatanly comedic but it has it's moment of gold. Sometani's character is amusing, motivated by basic human instinct xD but I also love the transition and growth he goes through. His boss is hilarious! And I love the village and villagers so much. Sometani's developement with his job is very satisfactory too <3 it helps that I love trees and nature! Only negatives are it was slow but that's easy to overlook, I felt the romance was unncessary and I wouldn't automatically rewatch it. It was a beautiful, nice film! =]
Zettai Reido [Japan - 2010] 5/10I love Japanese cop/detective shows so naturally, cos this has two seasons and an SP, I had a lot of expectations and unfortaunately it fell flat and sometimes boring, also Ueto Aya -__- Ueto just seems to play the same immature, boring, stupid, bland, faking innocence character in everything she does - so boring! The crimes/mysteries were also very easy to figure out and so it annoyed me that it took the characters so freaking long to figure it out! But I do like the other characters and I like how it was set in an 'unsolved crime' department. Defo not a high standard of detective dorama at all. Ueto's character of figureing the crimes out felt very unrealistic too. I don't think I'll be continuing on this series.
Eien no Bokura Sea Side Blue [Japan - 2015] 7/10Tbscreenrider already knows my views on this SP but let's get on with it... YAMAZAKI!! <33 KUBOTA!! <33 YAMAZAKI x KOBUTA!! I did not like Yamazaki's hair in this! BUT, his character was seriously the nicest, more perfect guy in this world!! Why can't he be my boyfriend?! Saying cool, mature stuff like you did *dies* <33 Kubota's character was so cute too!! "Ar-arigatou" <33333 And I freaking love the comedian playing Buri-san <3 It was great seeing Kubota play an angry guy - shows his scale as an actor <3 But OMG I cannot stand Tsukamoto Rika -_____- her character was a total dick too! She was such a stupid ass. Bitches be crazie. I felt the choice of music was cheesy and bad but I guess using such English music is cool in Japan but just did not work for me. I felt the romance developed a litle too fast but having said that, there was no indication as to how much time had passed really =/ I felt the story was a little flat but some of the performances were great. Yamazaki needed more screentime though!
Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu [japan - 2012] 8/10Another rewatch which I watched last night and it's rating has not changed. I mainly rewatched it cos I didn't noticed Yamazaki in it the first time around and so watched it this time for his sake <3 I did not like his hair when it was tied up though -_- Down it was sexy and the colour was nice too xD was funny seeing him and Matsuzaka back together after being on Clone Baby together. But jesus Matsuzaka's wig was BAD! So glad it went after a while. If that was his real hair all along then damn he needs a new stylist! xD This film was just as good the second time around <3 Enjoyable, cute and great character development also!
