can someone translate this: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/Last_Cinderella/spe_movie/index.html are they going to make a special movie?? :wub: I can't exactly translate it (somebody else correct me if you can understand this ad better than I can), but from what I can decipher it looks to me like it's talk...

FOM

After a really annoying delay (the weather knocked out our internet service literally about an hour before this episode got uploaded, and it didn’t come back on again for a day and a half… *sigh* ;) I finally got to see the final episode… First thing’s first: KYAAAAAA!!!!!!! Holy crap, I actually ca...

FOM

My hair is just as long as Sakura's hair. I tie it up back all the time to get it off my face. You may call me crazy. I could have just chopped it all off and made it easy for myself to comb and take care of. But just for the 10% or less time I don't tie it back, I just kept it long. If I cut it sh...

FOM

I don't find anything wrong with having long hair. Sakura likes long hair probably. (Shinohara Ryoko seems to like long hair. I've never seen her cut it) The most important thing is how she keeps it. Previously she just ties it up messily. Now it looks tidy, combed and tied up in a pony tail. I don...

FOM

^The make over I was referring to was especially aimed at her hair. I think that was really weird. Dressing wise, she is dressing the same way as she was before. Well in that case we agree. ;) Although I would argue that while she's basically wearing the same pieces, she's wearing them in a slightl...

FOM

To stay within the Cinderella story, I realized that the makeover happened internally for Sakura. Honestly I was thinking they would have a styling make over sooner or later, but that didn't happen. Way to play with my expectations, writer team. To be honest, I’m not completely surprised that there...

FOM

Well, having seen this penultimate episode, I have finally given up trying to predict the outcome of this series. I honestly don't know which way it's going. Part of me still sort of figures it's heading toward Rintaro, but there's still enough space left to have real hope for Hiroto, and that's sur...

FOM

Wow, you two really wrote long posts here. I think it is very simple. Even though it was all really fluffy in episode 9 between Sakura and Hiroto, they won't stay together or there will be an open end: She doesn't choose, but there is still a possibility for each Hiroto or Rintaro. As soon as Hirot...

FOM

Well, of course she's only getting one proposal unless someone else stands up to ask her. After all, she's only dating one person. Was it wrong for Miki to accept her husband's proposal? Miki only got proposed to once. She didn't have much of a choice. Should Sakura get proposal from 10 people or s...

FOM

Tell that to Shinohara Ryoko whose husband is way, way older than she is. With their huge age gap, is she settling? It seems like their age difference isn't rocking their marriage. Age is but a number. It's not important in love. It's not like Sakura is marrying Hiroto for money. Sakura accepts Hir...

FOM

That's the thing. Some people just want to get married so badly, they'll just settle for the first thing that comes their way. Compatible age? check. Financially stable? check. Maturity? check. Okay, time to get married. Their life would be boring and it doesn't mean they'll be happy with each othe...

FOM

I must be one of the few hoping (in vain, I realize that) that the 'prince' would be Rintaro. I don't really think Rintaro's been in love with Sakura for ten years. ... The main reason that Rintaro didn't realize his feelings is because he didn't view her as a woman. The moment the 24-year old came...

FOM

I don't think Hiroto ever wanted Sakura to find out about his initial intentions. He didn't want to leave her with a bad impression of him since he already has so many things he needed to change about himself. Maybe after they were married, he would tell her. ... For me, true love is willing to ris...

FOM

After ep 9, I'm really questioning why people think Rintaro is compatible with Sakura. Rintaro is so clueless. I don't think he would make a good father at all. He wouldn't even notice if his kids had problems. He just realized Ken was gay? O_o. I felt vibes from Ken that he was gay when he first a...

FOM

Thanks :D I noticed that my list was missing rich man poor woman! I've seen it and liked it a lot! And because it was on top of your recommendations, the others must be good as well. I think I'll start with one pound gospel. ;) Lol -- I thought it was odd that you hadn't seen that one, given the re...

FOM

In need of recommendations again! I somehow have a hard time finding any good dramas... Well what I'm looking for is a light hearted romcom / romance drama. I'm currently watching itakiss love in tokyo and last cinderella but waiting a week for new episodes is killing me! They're both so good :D Ya...

FOM

But wait, a BIG reveal - Hiroto didn't sleep with Sakura - which we all knew anyway. (Why does it all have to be so predictable? Seen this particular cheat a thousand times and over!) Yeah, Hiroto's reveal came as a surprise to me only because I had totally forgotten that Sakura didn't already know...

FOM

I also don't think Chiyoko is insane, as FOM posted. Emotionally unstable and scarred, ok. But insane? No. Sorry, I didn't mean that to be taken too literally. ;) I was just making the point that I think she's been shortchanged a bit in the character development department—I don't think she's actua...

FOM

^ WHOA. Are we analysing this drama/actors a bit too much...? Wouldnt it be nice to just watch it for entertainment's sake? Surely if the producer/director wanted us to think so deeply about the drama, it'd have had a more serious theme/plot. LOL. Sorry, did I not mention that overanalyzing is my f...

FOM

I just need to make one or two points (probably as my last in this thread). I see some confusion between being a Haruma fan and his character in the drama. well, that's probably is the case with being biased for an actor where you don't see any week points in his/her character and him or her are pr...

FOM

I think she was skittish/insecure at the beginning. But lately, something always happens which leads me to conclude that she doesn't really want to be with him physically. I could be proven wrong in the next episode. It's like she loves the idea of being in a relationship with an attractive, young ...

FOM

lol. But he's better off with someone who's sexually attracted to him. Sakura always finds a reason to avoid kissing him or sleeping with him. If my guess is right, it she does eventually kiss or sleep with him, it''ll be because she's running away from her feelings for another guy. But their story...

FOM

Downloaded Sapuri and Yamato Nadeshiko, they're in my to-watch list :D HanaKimi was unsatisfying to me because like a lot of other J Dramas, the plot forced the heroine to pick the obviously worse choice of two love interests (blonde guy, forget his name, was much nicer and liked her more.) Same th...

FOM

SO. Looks like things are starting to come to a head here. Excited for the subs to fill in a few details (particularly in those two conversations between Hiroto and Rintaro), but overall it seems like a lot of things are getting interesting. (And I’m going to kill something if Haruma doesn’t get to ...

FOM

Hey guys, Looking for advice again. I'm a woman in her mid-twenties and I'm looking for dorama aimed at my age and gender (drama made for both men and women is good too but I don't want really manly or perverted dramas... If there even is such a thing xD There's no HBO Japan haha). So mainly like.....

FOM

As for the ending who Sakura ends up with. I wouldn't decide too soon. Maybe Rintaro will finally let go of his old flame and notice Sakura who is living and beside him. I kind of prefer Hiroto + Sakura pairing because Sakura is needed by someone. With Rintaro, he's too independent and it doesn't s...

FOM

Okay, so, new (somewhat self-serving but still potentially plausible) theory: Maybe Rintaro really isn’t in love with Sakura (and Haruma will get to win the day after all! ;). I've been assuming all along that Rintaro definitely had feelings for her and it was just a matter of who she would end up b...

FOM

Regarding episode 5...mild swearing ahead... Oh CRAP. Damn, damn, and double-damn—just when I thought I was 100% sure that Sakura and Rintaro would end up together and I was okay with that, stupid Hiroto had to go and start actually falling for her and making me hope again. DAMN. I hate this show. B...

FOM

I really don't understand the logic of the complaints. Are 39 reaching 40 yr olds all suppose to be clean and tidy and know how to cook and clean? So females in their 20's are okay if they act messy and can't cook and clean but 40's they should be more mature and be neat and tidy and cook like hous...

FOM

I admit that I only started watching this because of Miura Haruma (who will always be my fav J-Actor) The 1st ep nearly bored the hell outta me. I kept checking the watch and was all like "is Haruma never going to appear?" I just wanted to catch a glimpse of him and then turn it off and n...

FOM

I guess you're right. I just wish they pushed along all these overlapping stories more instead of just inching ahead ever so slightly and insignificantly. Fair enough. I guess that's the point at which I fall back on my "I'm happy as long as I'm watching Haruma Miura" philosophy. Love cov...

FOM

IOf course, S. wasn't pregnant, who believed that anyway? I still believe they didn't even have sex. I came to the same conclusion as FOM. (The word for siblings is kyoudai, by the way) Though maybe Chiyoko and Hiroto are half brother and sister? I want to know what happened and they should reveal ...

Oh my god I think I am the only one liking it XD I knew from the first second of this drama that it would be nothing new to see but I still wanted to see it because of the cast. (If there will be an expected events they will be welcome) I don't know if things will be exactly as expected but the alc...

FOM

I couldn't even finish ep 3. After 2.5 ep, I'm already bored of Hiroto and Sakura relationship (or rather Hiroto character.) Looking at him reminds me of Jin from Anego (but at that time there was Masaya Kato for me to drool over.) Probably will come back or maybe not. I can't hold this hot potato ...

FOM

Binbo Danshi? I already thought it was that one before your hint, but I fail at this game. :P But since it's the same network and year... Yep! I knew somebody out there had to have seen it -- I was surprised no one jumped on it once OmuOmu's flunkies were visible in the background... ;) Your turn!

FOM

I thought in episode 3 when they were searching for a model with long hair they would choose Sakura. It was the obvious solution. She has horrible long hair and Rintaro could have transformed it into something amazing. Another weird point about her character. Working as beautician and that means se...

FOM

Nope. But that’s the one I was hoping someone would guess… ;) Actually, it’s a really good guess—not just because the scene involves boxing, but because it was apparently shot on the main set of One Pound Gospel, which aired in the same year and on the same network as this drama. It’s possible it wa...

FOM

I'm rooting for Rintaro. Sakura just seems more like herself around him. Their bickering is a nice touch. I just hope that Hiroto won't bruise Sakura's heart too much. At the end of episode 3, I was a bit annoyed that Sakura was apologizing for catching Hiroto kissing his girlfriend. Geez. He's a c...

Fujiki was also in the original Hana Yori Dango! The 1995 film version. He was Hanazawa Rui. Weirdly, I knew this before I realized who he was. I read somewhere that "the guy who played Rui in the 1995 version" had made a cameo appearance in HYD Final, and by process of elimination I figu...

So, episode 3! First of all, sorry—am I crazy, or in the very last clip at the end of the ep4 preview, is that Hiroto kneeling on the floor kissing Chiyoko’s back? Cause if so, I really hope they’re not siblings… ;) The plot thickens re. Hiroto and Chiyoko’s evil plan. What’s up with her shoulder (s...

Why does Haruma always get shagging roles? Is he that much shagging material? I dont think so. I'd so prefer him as the cute cuddly boyfriend or brother. Naohito is more shagging material. xD I have zero problem with Haruma Miura in shagging roles. ;) Though I will admit I started laughing by about...

FOM

I’m really getting to like Rintaro. (Annoying views on women, yes, but clearly full of it. ;) And I’m glad, because when it first started to look like he might be the romantic lead instead of Haruma (about ten minutes into ep1), I was really worried it was going to ruin it for me. (I’ve never seen ...

FOM

After episode 2 I also don't really see real romantic tension between Sakura and Hiroto. I found it very weird that they made such a big deal of a chaste kiss under the cherry blossom trees, when they allegedly had sex already in episode 1. (I suppose it never happened anyway.....which Miura Haruma...

Maybe they're trying to do contrast of "old man" Sakura and "girly" Hiroto. I don't even see how Hiroto can be with Sakura. She already found her path in life so what can this 20 something do for her. And the worst part is 20 something Hiroto is living/acting like a teenager. Ok...
