Currently stuck in San Diego airport with no idea when my plane will get here... ;_;
Luckily there's free wifi...
I have to admit that I've only been following this drama peripherally, but as I was half watching the live stream for ep 9 early this morning (while I was working) I became completely enthralled at that last scene. I have to say, this show has some amazing endings... Just an awesome scene...
erm... at least until the very ending of the ep....
Ha....
Now I gotta get the rest of this ep to figure out what I wasn't paying attention to... ^_^;

i don' t know why you put it under the spoiler tag but yea i agree. this should be a group thing. i told my friend about you guys and how i'll be bringing stuff too and she's like omg it's just a drama it's not real. i just told her that yea that's true but you'll act the same way if you watched the whole thing.bmwracer wrote:roon wrote:

Maybe we should have a Sosuke bonfire... With him as the fuel.
The drama is off the chain. That means in ebonics " kool as ****". "hyped over the top". I'm a newbie from the U.S.A. Thanks to all of you for your videos and translations. The only justice in this drama, would be for All of the friends to open a can of whup-ass on Sou. !!!!!!!!!!! A large can of whup-ass. Don't kill him just provide him with a long period of suffering .

Yeah, we should... It'll possibly be the first time a drama was decided by the viewers, not the writers.avieamber wrote:haha we totally should..like give them the idea of ending him up like this, on fire.bmwracer wrote:Should we e-mail the pic to the writers as a suggestion?avieamber wrote:Let's just all imagine it's him.
heheh i'm in the US too but i don't represent like you. well sadly there's only 11 ep so unless they make the special all bout sousake's suffering i doubt the fans would be satisfied.bherd wrote:The drama is off the chain.

only 18%? i thought it would reach higher than that.. if i were in japan, i sure will make it higher and higher, by forcing all of my family and friends to watch it.sleepyzzz wrote:Hey everyone!! Rating was at 18%!!
I think there is a chance for it to hit 20% in the next episode!
once more, we can't judge a drama only by its rating, right? because this drama deserves more that that!!
As for your first question bherd... I have no idea, but I don't know if I could last through a second season of this show...
Though it is completely addicting to the point of me being beyond help, it's mentally exhausting to wait for and then watch the episodes. If I had to spend another season of going insane all week until the new one is available, followed by my yelling at the screen for an hour, I'd drive myself crazy.
Then again, I'm such an addict I'd gladly welcome the extra mental drain just for more episodes... I don't want it to end!!!

so true! I was expecting it to at least be around 19% since the last episode got 18.8% (right?)sarah117 wrote:only 18%? i thought it would reach higher than that.. if i were in japan, i sure will make it higher and higher, by forcing all of my family and friends to watch it.sleepyzzz wrote:Hey everyone!!

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 feel terrible and probably grab a bat and give Sousuke some serious thinking...(with a few people alongside....)
I'd be really annoyed if she didn't get a shock from this all and did something about it...!

Why did Ruka go over to Souske apartment?
Hi Hikaria.
You make some excellent points.
1) I also think that Ruka knows that Takueka is really in love with her. And had it not been for her introducing him to Michiru and telling him to protect her he would not have gotten a beating.
( Remember Takueka also knows that Ruka is truely in love with Michiru)
2) She was also standing up for a second time for herself and her feelings , being true to herself and no longer hiding.
3) I think she know or had an idea what Souske was going to do, but the emotional pain in her life was far deeper and more painful than any pain one human could dish out.
4) Last but not least Ruka loves with such passion and conviction that again she felt that she must protect the ones that she deeply loves..
I would love to write a story with such worthy context and substance. You very seldom experience this in the movies and TV business. Bravo to everyone involved

Thank you very much for translating. I was really curious about what they said.
I think though that there's enough tragedy in the drama and the writers should bring more sunshine back. Some happiness to make you feel that there's good also and justice. And, concerning Ruka, some well deserved reward for her years of constancy, loyalty and love!

Agreed... This show puts you through the grinder...Hikaria wrote:As for your first question bherd... I have no idea, but I don't know if I could last through a second season of this show...

At times though, I think the show could've been a lot better without the DV plot point: the all-around angst would've been more than enough... The DV makes it just unbearable.

So am I... It was pretty traumatic.sytyue wrote:bmwracer wrote:sytyue wrote:So I went onto the Fuji TV site and checked out the summary for next week and it roughly translates to the following
Well, I'm still in desperate denial of what could be the possibilities of the ending of episode 9, so I'm trying to think good thoughts ><
And frustrating, since you're an observer, yet you can't do a thing.

I must be very honest, it doesn't grip me as much as Life did, though Last Friends is also super intense. (maybe because I have to wait for each episode, whereas in Life I watched it all in a few days because I had to) I haven't seen the 9th yet though, I expect the worse is yet to come.
I sort of dislike Michiru sometimes though, since she always seems as if she thinks her own problems are the greatest and then feels sorry for herself because she finds herself egoistic for thinking that or.. Well, I do like her for caring much about people though! Well, except for Sousuke (such a change from 1 litre of tears.. still sort of having trouble seeing him as total evil!). Ueno Juri is such a great actress! Total different from Nodame, although there's still the pretence and stuff. Ruka is so much like a guy that I don't really see her as a woman even though she obviously looks like one. Which is great, because you can see the difference between her and Michiru so clearly. I also love Eita very very much. I love his big ears! I dislike his clothing style here but well, it suits him I guess.
For the next eps I really hope Ruka will find that she's okay the way she is, and that the rest will accept her.. Also that Michiru gets a bit more of a backbone (I can really see her working on it!) and I really hope Eri will find a good love for herself! And I hope Eita is okay.. he better be ;o!

Saw ep9 at last. Teaches you to never underestimate things...just when you thought the worse thing that would happen in the episode is Takeru's beatdown...they gave you something plenty times worse~! Probably why the ratings were not as high as we thought. If they had shown the other beatdown...I think next ep will be through the roof. Btw, in case you guys didn't notice, the times that the ratings spiked is those that foreshadows Sosuke possibly dying. The fake suicide in ep5 and the train one for ep8. You'd think that should be a hint to the writers eh?
Pass me a flamethrower as well.
Anyway, I think I need to get the last scene out off my system before talking about anything else from the episode. I loved and hated it.
As for the non-preview preview, I think that's a hint in itself. Notice the images they show along with Sosuke's line?

LOL. Too bad they don't go into details. But you know they like to keep those kinds of surprises under wraps so I'm hopeful~ See if he can turn the eye patch into a weapon next...bmwracer wrote:Oh, and thanks for the updated info!
Btw, notice when he opens the door, there's a calender there. It says 6th June 2008. Wow, they really timed it to happen as it airs or something? Haha.
Edit: Oh, wait, that's like 1 day AFTER it airs...o.o
can someone explain something to me
About Takeru's cup, from ep1, when he crashed with Ruka, we see the handle broke...then when he returned the cup to Ruka in the bar that night, the cup's fixed but had a crack near the handle. So here's my question, did he fix the handle and like glue it back or something?
Then in ep9, it broke again?

yea no kidding. i've been moping around work all day with a pissed off expression. sadly besides the people here i have no one else to vent my frustration or even talk about the drama with. i'm so glad for you guys. so now this is my speculation^Yuuki wrote:I just read the synopsis for ep10 from another source(JP TV mag). The first line certainly sounds very hopeful to me:
I think I can breathe easier now...
