Yup. I'll be watching this too. In fact, I'm dropping HanaKimi to make time for this. Goggle eyes

Wow, first episode's rating is 17.3%! I think this is probably my second favorite show this season... so far.

Just in the middle of watching this, but gosh, Haruka's become so pretty. Every scene that focuses on her, I can't help noticing how smooth and clear her skin is. Even in that scene where she's just getting out of a bath, her skin is perfect. I don't see how she manages that. Most people's skin would be kinda puffy, and there'd be a sheen from the sweat, but with her there's always a velvety smoothness. Just amazing. Supernatural even.

Anyway, her character's kinda made-up, but I'm enjoying the drama all the same. I hope this drama doesn't end up getting too sappy or corny as it continues. This is definitely one of the dramas I'm going to keep watching. uhh, yeah, if only for the skin*.

*If you're watching this on a LCD screen you might not see it too well, but on a high quality CRT her skin really is amazing.

Ok, I just noticed something else. For a girl who wants to do nothing more than to roll around at home in sweats, her sense of fashion is too tastefull. What she's worn so far at work is always subdued without being demure. Classy without being too chic. Delicate, but modern. IMO, dead-on perfect. I LOVE every outfit she's worn. To go from that to bright yellow and reds at home is too much of a stretch. Clothes reflect our personalities and judging by what she's worn so far, she's mentally ill.

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I think the contrast in her clothing is done on purpose. At home she's lazy, a little messy, and totally doesn't care what she looks like or how she acts. At work she's professional and dresses to make a good impression but that's not the real her.

That's the point I thought they were trying to make, but then again... I only understood maybe a 5th of what they were saying so what do I know?

I love her character.... but her house freaks me out a little. I'm normally messy but she's just... beyond messy.

Ok... looking over the translations Ayaka sent me today. It looks like I was right. It is a thing about her two different worlds and two different personalities. Which is why he freaks out so much when he first sees her at home. It's a "who are you and what have you done with Hotaru?" moment.

Looks good so far.
I love the parts where Ayase Haruka mumbles a series of meaningless words when she stretches/exerts her body around the house...
11:30 / 13:50 / 24:11 - "dokoshoichitto"
11:41 - "gatsuishimatsu"
ROFL! Rofl
Oh, and "ittadakimambo" @ 24:15, which reminds me of Matsuyama Kenichi (in Sexy Voice and Robo) saying "ittadakiMAX" Laugh
Man, I love Jdramas. pinch


In fact , it is "Dokkoishouichi"
and also I heard she speak the words more like "arinsu" & "aiyo"

I watched the first episode yesterday, it's fun.
Himono-onna is so interesting. I rated it as one of the best drama this season.
cute , cute , cute

One of the better pilots this season; I hope it stays this way!

"who are you and what have you done with Hotaru?" moment.


That's a perfect translation. The conversations between Hotaru and Takano are really cute, like the one starting around 15:07 where they were talking in circles:

[sorry for the slipshod translation, my Japanese isn't very good, even with a transcript]

"I've decided to reflect on my life by living by myself, which is why I've come back to my life's starting point, my parents' house here."
"Oh, if you're going to live by yourself now, you'd better start looking for a place!"
"Listen to me! I've come to live HERE."
"But I'm the one living here now."
"Even if you are living here now, this is still my parents' house."
"Even if this is your parents' house, I'm the one living here now."
"NO, even if you are living here now, this is my parents' house, so I will be living here alone from now on! ALONE!"
"Come on, a man your age should stop whining like that."

Looking forward to more Tongue

Pretty sure she said a "~tto" at the end but w/e right? You got the gist of it... Roll Eyes

"Arinsu" seemed like a lazy-simplified "arimasu", so it does have a meaning. No idea where "aiyo" came from or what it means. scratch
