[Discussion] Last Friends - Nagasawa Masami/Ueno Juri/Eita
Is the... er, fast version on the single?
It's the one that played at the end of Ep06. REALLY love this version. Played it over a few times.
edit Never mind, I got it. It's actually the Quiet Version on the single zD

This is really not turning out like I want it too, where is the eri love?
Well I have resisted for 6 episodes, but I shall resist no more. *starts fanboy rant*They hav e a wii in the sharehouse!!!! they were playing mario kart on wii, I f-ing love that !!! Screw the drama, screw the DV, they are playing wii!!!!!!*ends fanboy rant*
Well I wish that takeru just said "that quote" to take ruka's mind off of michiru. I think he understands her "true feelings", but at the same time, why would she have to "confess" like that? Anyways, I'm am done thinking about this series, as its not going my way (max eri exposure), so I'm just along for the ride now. And 71 pages and we are only on episode 6 is sickening. Why wasn't this drama given sub-threads? It is growing ridiculously fast... but I'm very glad to see more juri fans!

fayenatic: Yep! They're releasing a soundtrack!! How can they not? They've even got S.E.N.S up their sleeve to help them out and they do good background music (the emotional kind) - i love them! Here's the official site introducing the OST and THEY'VE UPDATED IT!!! We can now preview the ENTIRE soundtrack!!! HAHA Before there were only 2 tracks.

Good thing you raised it otherwise I wouldn't have checked the site again!! hahaha
Oh and to the cup/mug lovers: Ruka's mug was available on Fuji TV's webshop a few days ago but it's SOLD OUT AGAIN!!! Aaaaah!!! I just want her mug!?! Why is it so hard to get???

The "POL (Quiet Version)" and the karaoke version is just HEAVENLY....now can't wait til the OST comes out with the POL instrumental version.
Thanks for the link to preview the OST sleepyzzz
I guess it's a little ridiculous to keep up with 71 pages...then again I am fine with it. Probably because I try to keep up with this thread almost every friggin day! I can be so tired and drained from work, but this thread totally revitalizes me. What are we to do once this drama ends???

andd GROSSS about takeru's stalker.. anyone have spoilers on wat reallyy happened b/wn them?
last friends is so freaking good! haha ppl are saying the domestic violence is getting old but it really gets me tense and scared haha.. it was definitely the hook to get ppl interested. now the core emotional problems are coming out but showing that at the beginning wouldn't've attracted as much attention..

Must say, though I really did love the whole start of this drama, I can feel my enthusiasm fading. Emotional/touching scenes are good but I really want a pure straight happy scene between Ruka and Michiru. Not just a small window of happiness in the park but a long one like one genuine deep hug between Ruka and Michiru....*sigh* that would be nice. If only they will let Ruka honestly show her feelings. But we all know that's not going to happen. I think ep 7 is going to be one of the worst ones for Ruka. That shower scene looks baaaaaad.......

I've enjoyed this drama very, very much.
I usually watch comedies, but since two of my favourite actors,
Eita and Juri, are in this drama...I couldn't pass on watching it.
Personally, I didn't like the first episode because of the whole baby-thing and etc.
If that is how the drama will end, Im not gonna like it at all.
I demand a happy ending! xD

LF is only half-way through. If they resolve even a few issues now, then people would have nothing to come back to week after week. Even though this is a drama it should function like a film. Introduce the characters and conflict in the first 3rd, spend the second 3rd working towards a resolution, and finally resolve the conflict only slightly before the end.bmwracer wrote:I don't mind that...

Seeing as how there are many conflicts and storylines going on here, I think the writers are doing a decent job of giving us puzzle pieces each week. At episode 7 things seem to move away from Michiru going back to Sousuke at least. We are going to see more of what is going on with Takeru and Ruka will be forced to make some decisions.
I don't know what you want by a "main course." Have you ever watched a movie wherein the conflict was resolved halfway through? Hell no! Who'd stick around for the end?
Where Last Friends is not as good is when it tries to push the plot. Psycho Boyfriend becomes a cartoon of a domestic aggressor, and the other characters react almost mathematically. (Ruka says "he bad!" Takeru looks "thoughtful" Michiru makes "wrong choice number 15)."
However when Last Friends is good, the story beautifully, beautifully articulates Ruka's gender/existential dilemna by not patronizing her personal conflicts within the geometry of a love triangle. It's not at the level of a Shunji Iwai film in its piercing honesty or droll wit (and of course it would be unrealistic to expect so) , but Takeru, Michiru and Eri are also expressed with a lyrical touch and wellput pause. The show knows when to stop to let a moment sink in. Per episode, the generational mosaic is not so much a puzzle being complete, but one complete picture becoming clearer. That is, each episode we begin to see them for more who they really are and what they may yet become.
The quieter the show, the more you can hear the deep beating of hearts longing for change.

Yeh~ I hear ya Belleza. Love Letter is my favourite Shunji Iwai film ever. =) The quiet moments speaks the loudest eh? For Last Friends, I still feel that the acting and writing is getting better by the episode. I think the initial excitement might be fading a little because we're now in the pool instead of just gingerly testing out the waters. We're getting used to the pace and more familiar with the characters that it's harder to surprise us now. But the puzzle analogy is true enough. We already have the frame to work on since the beginning of episode 1. Just need to fill it with the pieces from each episode. Dunno if I wanna look at the finish product though...haha.

That sentence is true no matter how you interpret it. Wait, I guess I meant Ruka and Sosuke. Haha. It seems as though they're trying to portray Ruka as the 'healthy relationship' choice compared to Sosuke from the opposite-ness of their choices. And yet, they are also the ones that seem to know the other best.Salz wrote: in the 2nd pic Ryo look kinda small standing next to Juri^^"
Asami is totally looking out of place there. She needs Ogurin~

I've yet to watch it. Dreading the "poor Ruka" that's for sure going to be going through my mind again and again~
But hey, here's a happy picture:
The Television[24/5]
Just Juri and Masami playing around with 'yes' 'no' cards. First question was "Can the two of you share a house?". Both answered 'Yes' and seemed to have some interesting ideas to offer. Now that's something I'd like to see happening. Heheh. >=3
Chinese translations here.
Maybe someone can help translate it into english...*pokes sleepyzzz* ;)
P/S: A rantfic I did from Ruka's POV. Takes place after the end of ep5. It's kinda bad, but humour me anyway: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4273007/1/L ... Liberation

Just watched episode 7!!! Just when I thought my enthusiasm was dying, it's ALL BACK NOW!!! hahahahahaha Well the episode was definitely not funny but I'm happy in that I'm all into again =)
My views on Episode 7:
I'm basically dying to see episode 8 now....AAAaah!! Another week to wait!
^Yuuki: I got this one - LEAVE IT TO ME! hahaha I'll translate the interview...btw, how the heck do you find all this stuff?!?!?!
Oh and just to update people on my latest splurge - I got all three cups!!! Including Ruka's!!! hahahahah FINALLY got it! It sold out like twice! But will have to be June before I receive it. I will take a pic of it when it arrives. hahaha Stuff like this is therapy for me - balances out my crazy work.

As promised - below is the translation of an interview with Masami and Juri...
They are playing around with Yes (o) and No (x) cards, answering the following questions:
Q1. Do you think the two of you can live together?
Both Yes cards
M: I could live in a place like the Share House.
J: Yes - I would want a room that is mine.
M: I'm quite independent and easy going. Living with me should be relatively easy.
I will even cook for you - Japanese food.
J: Aaaah! I want to have some! If we were living together, we could watch movies together! We could go and buy a heap of movies!
M: Sounds good! Could watch movies, listen to music and make a bit of a racket!
Q2: About the other characters, do you think there's anything to admire?
Masami - yes & Juri - no
M: I feel that Ruka's physical abilities are great. She's independent and attractive/good-looking.
J: Mmmm....Ruka's thinking style has completely changed to that of a guy - so to a girl (i.e. Juri herself) there is nothing to admire about (I actually don't quite get what she's saying....)
M: How about if it's Takeru?
J: Takeru? Nothing to admire *laughs*. If it's Sousuke, then I would say he's lucky to have gone out with Michiru. But we shouldn't be talking about this now!
Q3: Is there anything you want from each others personal belongings?
Both answers Yes
M: I would want Juri's moisturizer! It smells very nice! When we first started filming, Juri was always carrying this fragrance (*laughs*).
J: For me it's Masami's candle which she carries with her all the time. When it is melted, it can be used as a moisturiser - I'm interested in that!
Q4: It's your birthdays coming up - what do you have in mind?
M: I do have some ideas but cannot talk about it. If I said it, then there'd be no surprise.
J: I want to play with fireworks!
Q5: Do you personally think that there is love between Michiru and Ruka?
Masami - yes and Ruka no
M: We don't know what's going to happen next but I am hoping they will be able to understand each other heart to heart - that's why I picked yes.
J: For the average girls, it would be yes. But in Ruka's case, there's no way she can go love Michiru and is in excruciating pain - so can't really say anything...
Q6: Has Ryo opened up? (Is Ryo Sousuke's real name? Not familiar with this guy...)
Both Yes
M: He's opened up.
J: But he's just very shy
M: It's like, he hasn't seen you for along time and is a little nervous. In the morning he is a bit uptight but by night he's on a high!
Q7: In the last episode, do you think you will find happiness?
M: I am hoping for a happy ending so YES.
J: That's a secret!!
Here you go! I skipped a small bit about Ryo making fun of why Masami is so cute - but I can't make out her response - 那个,超让人不爽!(笑)- this is a slang term that I don't quite get...

M: I would want Juri's moisturizer! It smells very nice! When we first started filming, Juri was always carrying this fragrance (*laughs*).
J: For me it's Masami's candle which she carries with her all the time. When it is melted, it can be used as a moisturiser - I'm interested in that!
Q4: It's your birthdays coming up - what do you have in mind?
M: I do have some ideas but cannot talk about it. If I said it, then there'd be no surprise.
J: I want to play with fireworks!
Q5: Do you personally think that there is love between Michiru and Ruka?
Masami - yes and Ruka no
M: We don't know what's going to happen next but I am hoping they will be able to understand each other heart to heart - that's why I picked yes.
J: For the average girls, it would be yes. But in Ruka's case, there's no way she can go love Michiru and is in excruciating pain - so can't really say anything...
Q6: Has Ryo opened up? (Is Ryo Sousuke's real name? Not familiar with this guy...)
Both Yes
M: He's opened up.
J: But he's just very shy
M: It's like, he hasn't seen you for along time and is a little nervous. In the morning he is a bit uptight but by night he's on a high!
Q7: In the last episode, do you think you will find happiness?
M: I am hoping for a happy ending so YES.
J: That's a secret!!
Here you go! I skipped a small bit about Ryo making fun of why Masami is so cute - but I can't make out her response - 那个,超让人不爽!(笑)- this is a slang term that I don't quite get...
funny that they say that Ryo is very shy...
Hey, thanks for the clarification, I think I can now combine what little I got from the Japanese text with your Chinese-English translations. Should make things clearer. I modified from yours, hope you don't mind. It's under the spoiler tag so u can just copy and edit yours if you want to. ^^sleepyzzz wrote: ^Yuuki: I got this one - LEAVE IT TO ME! hahaha I'll translate the interview...btw, how the heck do you find all this stuff?!?!?!
Oh and just to update people on my latest splurge - I got all three cups!!! Including Ruka's!!! hahahahah FINALLY got it! It sold out like twice! But will have to be June before I receive it. I will take a pic of it when it arrives. hahaha Stuff like this is therapy for me - balances out my crazy work.
In Japanese it's 'mukatsuku', something like annoying or irritating.Here you go! I skipped a small bit about Ryo making fun of why Masami is so cute - but I can't make out her response - 那个,超让人不爽!(笑)- this is a slang term that I don't quite get...
Cool that you manage to order Ruka's mug btw. Must post the pictures when you get it. =)
Salz: Really can't see it? Weird...Me and others doesn't seem to have problem...but here ya go again:
son2: Thanks. I'll see if Ruka starts ranting in my head again. It's hard work trying to make her lighten up a little though...
Thanks ^Yuuki! Feel free to edit - it makes a lot more sense now! haha I'm not very good with translation. I actually couldn't see the article/picture either. Thanks for posting it up! Aaaaw! How cute! I feel like Ruka is one of those characters that will just stick with you always. She's such a unique character - hard to forget. I wonder what role Juri would do next? Can she stay as Ruka?? hahaa Well a happy one ^_^ haha
Aha~ My bad for hot linking. Fixed. ^^;Salz wrote:^Yuuki
thanks again for the pics^^
the 1st pic dun come out and just write baidu on it
I think Ruka definitely is going to be up there along with Nodame as some of the most memorable characters in JDramas. I wouldn't want Ueno Juri to keep playing the same kinda role but I don't mind if she play Ruka for another season or a long special episode~ Haha. Oh yeah, and totally no problem if she keeps the hair style for other roles.sleepyzzz wrote:She's such a unique character - hard to forget. I wonder what role Juri would do next?

Just found something interesting. Okaeri T-Shirts!! http://shop.fujitv.co.jp/daiba/category ... /?Banner=1
Since the mug cup series was so successful, they're introducing T-Shirts with the same design to go with it. Matching Michiru/Ruka (couple~) T-shirts. Lol. No Takeru this time.
kívánok = good morning (Hungarian)
cześć = hello (Polish)
Me wants~ Lol. But I wanna see them wear it on the show first.

I forgot to mention - there were two scenes that I particularly liked in Episode 7 - not that they were such profounding scenes but more because it broke down some of the walls between the characters...
The scene was a bit overwhelming but I'm glad the invisible walls between the characters are gradually being broken down. Can't wait to see Ep 8!
Yup! I loved those 2 scenes too.sleepyzzz wrote:I forgot to mention - there were two scenes that I particularly liked in Episode 7 - not that they were such profounding scenes but more because it broke down some of the walls between the characters...
Here's some of my thoughts about Episode 7.
Ruka really have all these emotions pent up inside with no way of getting out.
