im loving this drama :] when im watching this i always wonder...how hard was it for the actor who played the dad to act like a high school girl and vice versa. xD and i feel they are doing a really convincing job of acting out their parts :thumleft: hahahaha yeahhh it would be huh! he can act so fe...

sakurachan

It was so funny when the dad did the DONDAKE. haha. You just don't see that from old guys.

Has anyone else read reports about these two? It's hilarious how much they hate each other!

Do you have sources to back this up?

@ lsqB, Not sure if you'll ever see this post, but I just want to express my gratitute for your hard work in subbing this show so far. My experience with your works has been with this show only, but they had so far been both prompt and of the top quality. I will miss your subbing. :-( On another not...

@Yotsuba,

Love the ringtone. Thanks.

sakurachan

Sadly, it appears that the third placing match will take place AGAIN during Juken's time slot, ... Well, let's hope Japan has an equivalence of TiVo over there so that viewers can stay with the storyline. Otherwise, it begs the question: is a two-episodes gap large enough for a show without the meg...

sakurachan

Hmm... the 2nd week's rating is already below 10. This is not a good sign. In Juken, the message of each episode is presented in your face. The good being nobody will miss the message, minor characters are better developed. The bad being some might deem the drama as too preachy. It is almost never a...

sakurachan

I believe her ringtone says, "oi, denwa da yo." Although I'm not 100% sure. I deleted ep. 1 and 2 already. lol there's no "oi" in the beginning. just "denwa da yo" and "meeru da yo" oi is so...old man-ish! :P Yea, I got that from the beginning of ep. 3 when s...

i wonder if anyone would have koume's cellphone ringtone when she receives mail and phonecalls...it's so cute this drama is so funny. love the papa!!! It's not too hard to do it yourself. For example, on Mac OS X, you can download the free program iSpeak to convert any text into mp3 file. Then you ...

sakurachan

I think the mom must've picked up something. Remember she commented that Koume had used a different shampoo? She must've also smelled it in her husband's hand the night before. Now that she's beginning to suspect him of cheating, she would start to observe him more frequently. And that's when she wi...

sakurachan

Well? Can you share some love by sharing where you've found it?

EDIT: Thanks, Noi.

sakurachan

@IsqB,

But wouldn't it have been funny if it were that particular week of the month?

sakurachan

On the other hand, the reason that the manga might not have been as popular could be because the main character Hotaru in the manga is of 28 years old --- an age that is likely beyond the age bracket of the majority of the manga readers in Japan.

sakurachan

Please don't ban me for saying this: (hidden for possible censorship, not for spoilers) But if I ever become a guy, I would be quite curious as to how male-organsms would feel like. Of course, for a daughter to be touching her dad's body like that would be quite yucky to say the least. :pale: But st...

sakurachan

Hmm... The cast is certainly interesting enough, but I wonder if the plot is worth seeing though. I mean, the manga doesn't seem to be popular at all.

sakurachan

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'm wondering for which pairing I should be rooting for, though...

Hotaru/Seiichi?

Hotaru/Makoto?

...I'll go for the first one for now

Why not consider Seiichi x Makoto also?

sakurachan

Most charming is probably matsushima nanako.

She carries the charm, beauty and acting skill. I can't think of any other actress who looks better in commercials and magazine scans. She's the only actress who had kept me in a show sheerly for her presence alone.

sakurachan

Just saw ep1 on tv.I prefer this drama than hana kimi. I second on that. Finished two episodes of HanaKimi already and it's nothing new. The only thing that kept me going was Maki's ultra-cuteness. But that alone won't keep me in the show. And the boys are ok but not great. I much prefer YamaPi and...

sakurachan

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

sakurachan

I assure you that I'm not into the guy X guy thing, but somehow I found the kiss between Sano and Nakatsu somewhat hot.

sakurachan

Can you imagine the horror if someday the mom walks into the bathroom seeing her husband back-scrubbing her naked daughter? I wonder if the writers will go that far. haha.

sakurachan

Does anyone think that the Mom has already caught wind of the situation in episode 1? The speech she gave to them near the end of episode 1 seems to suggest that. Not sure though, just a feeling.

sakurachan

Just for kicks, we should try to get TW's version of HanaKimi to be the chinese drama of the month while this version of HanaKimi is still airing.

sakurachan

Alright, someone has to say it ... at the conclusion of PROPOSAL DAISAKUSEN, we have

DAI SEIKOU!

:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

sakurachan

i cried too when the spotlight was shifted to Rei. When she eventually realized everything, Those where the great moments of episode 11 I agree with you. Rei's inner-monologue was to me a the biggest surprise in the episode. It was also the most touching part of the episode to me too. I tip my hat ...

sakurachan

but isnt Rei already married to Tada? Because the ceremony is already finished or I am wrong. Yes, the ceremony is finished. No, you're not wrong. So, does that mean it's over then? Well, the yousei asked Rei this very question, 「今からでも、間に合うと思わないか？」 which translates "Even as of now, don't you t...

sakurachan

To lunargen san,

No word can express my thanks to you. If you happen to be in New York, I will treat you to a nice meal anywhere you ask.

oyasumi nasai.

sakurachan

Just wanted to say this:

sakurachan

Sakurachan, I'm sorry, but we'll just have to agree to disagree on this. In Japan the divorce rate is not yet as high as it is here in the U.S., but if more garbage like this filters into their popular culture, they will eventually catch up. Here in the U.S., the reality is grim: Exactly half of al...

sakurachan

First, I fully apologize for misleading what Tada was saying to Rei in the preview for episode 11 when I suggested that what Tada said was 「駆落ち」. Someone's else original guess of 「賭け」 was indeed the correct guess. mina san, gomen nasai. *bow* Regarding the ending, I love it! It is as it should be. K...

sakurachan

I doubt it was 「賭」 or a bet that he was saying. I'm hearing "ima kara, kakeochi shinai [ka]" or in English "aren't you going to run away now?" or "aren't you going to elope now?" Make more sense this way, no? Rei tells Tada she's still having feelings for Ken, and so T...

sakurachan

Will someone be doing a play-by-play during the finale for the impatients? onegai shimasu.

sakurachan

So it was actually a question "Kake wo shinai ka?" But of course, the Japanese omit the last syllable to confuse the westerners! How diabolically clever. And see how they completely fooled our subber. "賭" wasn't even on her list. Tsk Tsk. Now let's see them come up with a clever...

sakurachan

Regarding to what Tada was saying to Rei in the preview for ep. 11, I'm hearing

「今から、かけおちしない。」

which is somewhat vague to translate without the context. My best guess is

"From now on, don't run away."

sakurachan

pretty sure that gust of wind was just symbolizing the yosei's presence in the building...even though he's outside on the balcony looking at ken in the next shot. of course, the rules of time and space don't apply to him. similarly, the very first shot of the series is a gust of wind blowing curtai...

sakurachan

Well in two more days we will either be A: Happy as a tornado in a trailer park, or B: mad ass hell! I too will leave the end of this drama in the hands of the trusted writters! Good luck Kenzo!!!!!!! Well, I'm pretty sure the writers will not have this story end up with Rei staying married with Ta...

sakurachan

@joe Have you watch the "dark episodes" yet? Its Friday already here in Japan and you know what that means.....3 more days until Tada gets dumped and Ken become the winner just like he predicted waaay back in episode 3! I don't know. It's very hard for me to see how Rei can, in one episod...

sakurachan

Oh, you're in good company then. I think almost every guy here is pushing for Kenzou to win for the Team. Or at least Tada to explode in a ball of flames. :D Not me. I'm hoping Rei stays her course in having a happy marriage with Tada.* Ken will finally learn what it is that he doesn't understand a...

sakurachan

Totally out of point, but I've actually turned into Ken. The girl I love just told me that she's getting married next sunday. Any fairy willing to help me? :cry: Um... This is just a show; it's not reality. Don't do anything stupid. It's over. Get over it and move on. But if you truly cannot accept...

sakurachan

But that is the problem he said ore to kekkon suru. A really rough marry me. not let's get married, will you marry me, just marry me. He said I don't wan't you to go and marry me. It sounded more like he will be lonely then he really loves her with the words he chose. I see. Can you tell me what is...

sakurachan

He still didn't say he loved her, just "why don't you marry me", he needs to say I love you and I will protect you. that is what she wants to hear Hmm... At where I come from, a life-long marriage proposal "marry me" speaks much louder than a non-committal line like "I love...

In episode 10 in the flashback in the hospital he said that he would protect her from then. That is what she means.

If so, then Ken had already asked her to marry him in ep 9. What gives?

sakurachan

Ok. So it's 10 episodes already into the story with just 1 last episode left, but I'm still quite clueless as to what it is that Rei said that Ken just doesn't understand. Does anyone want to throw out any hint?

sakurachan

What I think is that episode 11 will require Ken to act in the present time --- possibly at the wedding-reception right there. I know they already exchanged vows; but hey, if there's one lesson the fairy is trying to teach Ken, it's that all assumptions and dispositions must be discarded to go afte...

sakurachan

僕も何もわかってない！ I mean this time he said it. In fact, he went as far as asking her to marry him. What more does she want??? If I was Mikio, I would've inserted a few more photos and at the wedding-reception ask Ken to lookup past week's lottery numbers. :D Somehow I don't think Episode 10 will be Ken's ...

sakurachan

Just a curious observation: At the beginning of episode 8, the fairy misquoted Abraham Lincoln with 「あなたが転んでしまったことに関心はない。そこから立ち上がることに関心があるのだ。」 which can be translated as ``I am not concerned that you have fallen. I am concerned that you arise from it.'' However, I googled it up and the actual Abraha...
