Hi everyone!!! I spot some familiar names from my Last Friends D-Addict discussion days!!! ^____^ bmwracer, miznagase, flamethunder85 and vege-okonomiyaki!! I'm a bit late to the discussion again but I'll try to hop back in sync with u guys. At first I really liked the show - the idea behind it, it ...

sleepyzzz

Just watched episode 1! Was great! It's been a while since I've watched a drama with this level of suspense and its fairly fast paced too! The thing that really caught my attention was the music! I loved the piece they used at the closing scene where At the school reunion, Ryoji tells the world that...

sleepyzzz

Oh dear...I also clicked thru all the spoiler tabs!! Aaargh!! Thanks Lakay for the update! I'm downloading ep 9 now so hopefully I'll be able to catch up soon. Btw, just wanted to ask, with the music box, what music does it play? Is it the hymn or is it Eternally? thanks heaps! btw, those spoilers j...

sleepyzzz

@Lakay: Just rub it in!!

ahaha I'm patiently waiting for subs...in the meantime, I've tracked down the piano piece that Kitigawa plays in episode 4! For those interested, you can go here for a listen!

There's a link on the homepage - you can also just go straight to here - have fun!! hahaha

sleepyzzz

OK - let's bring back a bit of light heartedness to this thread!! I've posted up the piano version of Eternally on my blog! Check it out!! So how many people are thinking of buying the OST? I'm thinking about it cos CDJapan is currently giving out 500 yen coupons...tempting...hahaha :lol http://yasa...

sleepyzzz

Ok people - I'm like only a click away from ordering the OST!! I'm starting to quite like the music! BUT, I just want to ask everyone - in the drama, there is an instrumental version of Eternally - it's a mix of strings, xylophone and piano. It doesn't seem to be on the OST! Does anyone know where w...

sleepyzzz

Episode 7 was WAY bizarre!! The bit where Kiyoka is crawling to the kitchen was crazy/scary and almost funny. I didn't actually laugh but it just seemed a bit too extreme. I didn't really like this episode - probably because of the attention on Kiyoka etc. However, I did note that Kitagawa was impro...

sleepyzzz

Me too!! I couldn't help it and read all the spoilers...talk about a lack of self control! hahaha

But I only need to wait another 2 or 3 days for the chinese subs to be out...hehehe so it's not so bad for me!! ^_^

sleepyzzz

Ooooh westlake! They're my favourites too!! More details below! On the part in Episode 3, I felt it was the first time we saw the real side to Junya. Plus I felt Kitagawa did a decent job expressing the emotions at that point. I though this was Kitagawa's best scene. As for Maki, my favourite for he...

sleepyzzz

I'm sitting on the fence a bit with the OST...the other tracks have not really caught my attention but I LOVE this track!!

Btw, do anyone have a favourite scene so far?

sleepyzzz

@Lakay - I know what you mean! I was thinking of getting the music box too but it's pretty pricey! Just to let people know, I've translated the website's preview of episode 7 on my blog. I don't think there are major spoilers. I'm also really into the instrumental version of Eternally at the moment!...

sleepyzzz

I'm tempted to get the music box too...I'd rather it played Eternally instead though. The hymn is starting to get to me... :glare: Fuji TV shop won't send it but you can you a 3rd party like i-TM4U (link below). I've used these guys before and they're good. I added an extra item to the order and the...

sleepyzzz

Hi all!! Sorry a bit late to the game. Read basically all the posts! Dedication! LOL I've been sitting on Innocent Love for a while - initially a bit put off by the heavy story line and the weak ratings. HOWEVER, I am glad I started it! I just watched episode 5. It had a slow start and Kitagawa was ...

sleepyzzz

Prisoner will be out on 16 Nov!

Too far away! hahaha

sleepyzzz

Hey people! Kou and Masaharu were on Music Station a few days ago and performed the theme song to the movie, Saiai. I've uploaded the segment of the show on IMEEM. You can find the link on my blog here Sorry guys - I struggled in deciding whether to post the direct link to IMEEM or my blog but I cho...

sleepyzzz

according to the official website there seems to be no intention to release a single (at least at this stage)...

sleepyzzz

OMG!!! THANKS for the CM!!!

Must say that it doesn't quite have the same spark as Last Friends - probably because it doesn't have an equally catchy Prisoner of Love tune...

Looking forward to it!

sleepyzzz

Pori-chan.com just posted a short preview clip of Hana Kimi SP! it's not much but better than nothing. Plus it will broadcasted on 12 October!! Can't wait!

Guys! There's a new song sung by Kou!

It's the theme song to Galileo (movie version)! It's pretty good! But then I've got like heaps of her cds...

sleepyzzz

No worries!! hahah I was quite excited too! Can't wait! Not only does he have good looks but his acting is great too!! ^_^

sleepyzzz

New drama starring Tetsuji Tamayama!!

Hold your breath!!

A remake of PRISON BREAK!

I've translated the short article here:
http://yasashiisekai.wordpress.com/2008 ... e-version/

sleepyzzz

Same here! This is the only drama in the next season that has caught my eye! As for her hair, I suspect that it will still be on the shorter side - she was only recently filming Hana Kimi so probably not enough time to grow it out long?? We can only speculate....hahaha

sleepyzzz

They better give us some "outcome" between Utsumi x Yukawa in the movie! I was a bit annoyed with the ending of Galileo. I was like "that's it???" Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the drama. Can't wait for the movie but yes, a very LONG wait....*sigh*

sleepyzzz

New SP for Galileo and will star Masami!! Can't wait!!! hahaha :wub: "Galileo" gets SP on same day as film's release Fri, August 22, 2008 (12:59am EDT) Fans of the drama series "Galileo" have one more thing to look forward to. Anticipation is already high for the "Yougisha x...

Thanks for the translation ^Yuuki!!

sleepyzzz

sarah117: No worries! I like Last Friends so was keen to find out how they did in the Awards.

I'm with you there - can't believe Ryo got it! So should be Eita!

sleepyzzz

Guys! I found a few sites claiming that results of the 57th Japanese Drama Academy Awards are out!! I haven't been able to confirm this from the official website/yahoo etc so not 100% sure.

Check it out:

Some of us will be angry - and some happy...

sleepyzzz

sarah117: hahaha I was going to mention that the thread had dropped to 2nd page too but I thought ppl might think that's a bit silly!! hahaha Clearly there are people who think like me!!! WELL! Results out tomorrow!! Let's see whether anyone finds some news!! Btw, I was quite pleased that my random ...

sleepyzzz

Has anyone heard anything more on the drama academy awards? I know the magazine with the results will be released on 20 August but surely there will be a TV slot for it. Any ideas??

This is so sad....our Last Friends discussion thread is now v quiet.... =(

sleepyzzz

sarah117!! I recognise you from the Last Friends thread! haha Good to see a familiar face! Btw, I also really enjoyed Liar Game! I thought it was fresh and quite different from all the usual dramas. I guess it helped the fact that I accidentally came to watch it and had little expectations to start...

sleepyzzz

Aaah! Things have gotten a little fiery around here! Anyway, thanks to bmwracer for those updated pics!! Great stuff! :thumleft: As for what I think of the drama, though I agree with many parts of awrittensin's review (but maybe not to the same degree), I think it is overall a drama worth watching. ...

sleepyzzz

There was an updated posted on the official website yesterday which seems to say that the voting has closed and results will be published in the weekly magazine on 20 August and in the monthly magazine on 23 August! So far, still no news of when it will be broadcasted on TV but I guess it’ll be befo...

sleepyzzz

An update on the Drama Academy Awards! The voting will end on 22 July so I'm expecting the actual awards to be later this month. But, looking at previous years, it might be in the 1st week of August. I'm going to keep an eye out for the date. Btw, nomination list is out...I've posted it up on my blo...

sleepyzzz

Great to hear Juri got best supporting actress! CONGRATS!!! But I really want her to make a mark in the real acting awards!! Any idea when that's coming up?

sleepyzzz

Part 3 of the manga is out!

I've uploaded it at my blog. There's no translation so it's just a scan. If someone can offer any insight on the contents then that will be great!!

http://yasashiisekai.wordpress.com/

sleepyzzz

Ok - Malika is out meaning that the 3rd part to the manga is out! There's quite a bit of conversation so I can't tell whether we're getting anything "extra". Pictures wise, it looks like about the same as the drama and this one ends at the point where Mr. DV is found sitting in the rain ou...

sleepyzzz

Great post zeiroc!! hahaha That tree and hairstyle cracked me up!! LOL Btw, I'm planning to check out whether the next Malika is out this weekend. If so I might get - no promises particularly when the last one wasn't very exciting at all. If I do post it up, I'll put up a message here. I think I wil...

I'm glad there are people who take interest in the mugs!! hahaha I got a bit desperate and ran out of things to write on LF so I wrote a post on my mugs!!

sleepyzzz

Yep it's Code Blue - a medical drama starring Erika Toda and that guy from Proposal Daisakusen. Btw, it looks like they now have mug keyrings!! http://shop.fujitv.co.jp/daiba/category/lastfriends/?Banner=1 Oh and here are my mugs!!! hahaha :D I've hidden it as the picture is a bit big... http://yasa...

sleepyzzz

If that article was true then I'm pretty annoyed. Oh well - we can't do much about it. I guess we should just be happy with what we got in the end - which was still quite a breakthrough. D&MN SOUSUKE! Well one good thing came out of that article - this thread came alive again!! It was sad to see...

sleepyzzz

bmwracer: Looks like Sosuke's got a new girl (Sawajiri Erika) to beat up. I haven't watched 1 litre of tears before but when I saw that picture, my first reaction was the same - I was like - "OMG! He's going to bash her up!!!" hahaha I think I'm suffering Juri/Ruka withdrawal symptoms... ...

sleepyzzz

^Yuuki: Malika is a monthly magazine so I guess it'll be say another 2 weeks before the next LF manga release. I'll keep an eye out for it but I'm kind of disappointed by the whole SP etc....they should have just left it at ep 11 rather than give us false hope!! Hmm...do you think there's any chance...

sleepyzzz

GEEZ - the SP sounds total SHIAT and I was looking forward to it so much! That really sucks. They're better off not telling us that there was a SP! It gave us hope. I think I would be much more satisfied if I knew the drama just ended where it was last week. AAAAAH!! I'm REALLY PISSED NOW!!

sleepyzzz

^Yuuki - my choices are the same as yours!!! hehe EXACTLY the same!! haha

sleepyzzz

PEOPLE!! I've uploaded the 2nd release of the manga!! I've uploaded it to my new blog so you can download it from there http://yasashiisekai.wordpress.com/ Don't get too excited though as it's basically episode 1... Btw, I think I screwed up on some pages so if someone is translating and wants some ...

^Yuuki: I'm collecting Juri's vids like storing nuts for the coming winter LOL That COMPLETELY CRACKED ME UP!! Ok update: I took the manga to work so once people start leaving and the scanner is free...I'll do it!! hahaha Hmm...what do we want to see in the SP? I mean we all want more of Michiru an...

sleepyzzz

rulan: I just checked out your vid!! Great one! Looks pretty damn good for a first try! When I first watched it I thought you had stolen the chance for me to rewatch the kiss scene from ep 1!! I was like "NOOOOOO!!" but you didn't! *PHEW* I liked how you tied it back to the closing! Nice ...

sleepyzzz

Spyefox: Could it too much hoping for another kiss either from Ruka to Michiru or Michiru to Ruka in SP That would be JUST PERFECT!!!! HAHAHA :wub: Honestly, if they don't give us some decent Ruka x Michiru one on one time, I'm going to be really annoyed....pissed....and ANGRY!!!! :cussing: Just ki...

sleepyzzz

Just finished watching episode 11!!! I LOVED it! Though the whole atmosphere of this episode is very different from the "let's keep the audience on the edge of their seats" previous episodes - I enjoyed this one very much!!! Must admit it was a little too sweet at times compared to prior e...

sleepyzzz

Hi all! Could someone pls help me out? One of my favourite scenes is in Episode 5 about 31 minutes in - it's the part where Michiru tells Takeru that Ruka has liked someone for many years but has never expressed her feelings. I'm trying to locate the background music of this scene in the OST - but I...

sleepyzzz

Hey all - I've created a playlist just for Last Friends - I've only uploaded a few tracks - I think they are the key ones that remind us of Takeru/Ruka/Michiru. As I go thru the OST, I might add some more!! Enjoy~

http://www.imeem.com/people/kZ56mwF/pla ... _playlist/

sleepyzzz

Hi all!! My OST just arrived! I'm still going thru all the tracks but I am definitely glad I bought it!! I'm a strong believer that if you like the drama that much, then we should be supportive and buy the OST. One of the main reasons why I like j-dramas so much is the effort they put into the music...

sleepyzzz

Just watched Episode 10 - some thoughts and that was another emotional ride!! This was an intense episode and really emphasised on Ruka's "Liberation" theme. The scene in the bar with her dad and the follow-up scene between the dad and Takeru were one of the most touching moments. One of m...

I've been away from this discussion board in the last few days (had a damn exam today) but finally BACK and just watched episode 9!! You guys all made me laugh!!

sleepyzzz

Hey all! I haven't watched episode 9 yet - (though I've read all the spoilers!!!) but all this discussion makes me think of one thing - how come no-one has mentioned Michiru?? I mean, how has she reacted to all this? I'm assuming she knows Takeru got beaten up by Sousuke, right?? If I were her, I'd ...

sleepyzzz

Hey everyone!! Rating was at 18%!!

I think there is a chance for it to hit 20% in the next episode!

sleepyzzz

For those interested in the mugs - neither Fuji online or Amazon Japan ships them overseas. If you want them, you will need to go thru a third party who purchases it on your behalf and then post them to you. Apparently this is common issue for many online Japanese shopping sites (i.e. they don't pos...

OMG the raw's out!! But I need to wait for HD version!! aaah!

sleepyzzz

TokyoJuice : Yeah I noticed that a few days ago (that they greyed out the old trailers) - not sure what they have in mind. But I must say that marketing wise, I think Fuji Tv is completely on the ball. Without a trailer, I think everyone's completely hooked and I bet you that next week's rating wil...

sleepyzzz

sarah117: TV ratings are not out yet - usually it takes a day for me to find it. Don't worry! Trust me - My eyes are glued to the Japanese Wikipedia website - once it is updated I'll let everyone know. Btw, in case people weren't aware - looks like Episode 10's name is 愛と死 - pretty sure it means &q...

sleepyzzz

SHITE!! I just read all the spoilers.....sounds bloody bad!!!

sleepyzzz

Ideally, I would want a deep embrace between Michiru and Ruka - maybe one that starts off with a slight awkwardness but then Michiru realises how comfortable and secure she feels and lets herself fall into Ruka's arms...I wouldn't be so hopeful as to think there will be an outright vocal acceptance ...

sleepyzzz

Thanks ^Yuuki for the update! Now that they've told us this special episode upfront, I'm hoping that it won't be one of those re-hash/flashback ones that they always do. Also, do you think that the real ending will be Ep 11 and the SP will just be going back and filling in gaps OR we can actually ta...

sleepyzzz

Thanks ^Yuuki! Appreciate the translation!!

sleepyzzz

^Yuuki: Anymore detail on the spoilers?? Thanks!

sleepyzzz

^Yuuki : Thanks for the translation! "I'll protect you"....HAHA Can't wait to watch it! I just finished downloading so let's see how much I can make out of it - probably very little. Been relatively inactive lately! I have an exam this weekend so cramming - once I'm done I'm going to be b...

Hey everyone! Great to see a lot of "new" people joining in! I joined for this drama too (but from ep 1)! haha Anyway, if someone could give us some clue as to the contents of the show - MentoreG - that would be great! I'm not so hopeful and looking for a full translation but a summary of ...
