I have to Admit..

That whenever I'm in a bad mood, the Japanese shows always cheer me up. Lately, I've just searched "Arashi" [G no Arashi, A no Arashi ect] and I find some of the funnest stuff. This link is towards a video of Aiba [Arashi member] {he tends to create all these board games that result in putting stockings on your head, or drawing on your face with black ink} trying to speak english, which he does fairly well... >:).

Something a tad bit random

So, lately I've been really into manga and JDrama, and so I went to search on ONEMANGA to read something Shoujou-ish [everything that's in Shonen I've either read or dont wanna read cause it looks stupid], and I found this manga called "Absolute Boyfriend" aka "Zettai Kareshi". I loved it. Then, I found out there was a JDrama about it. Of course, I had to watch it, so I get to EP 8, where the new robot dude comes in, and I have to stop... the new robot is the only actor I hate: Abe. He plays Akira in Hana Yori Dango, but he's Chinese-Japanese [and looks more Chinese than Japanese]. It took me about 3 hours to get through a 45 minute JDrama. Bleh.

Another random point is that I was forced to create another LoGD website for someone, but it's oddly fun, and slightly still in the making: If you wish to join it the link is here:

Bai-bai. :)

Huzzah!

I found something that I'm actually gunna use! Seeing as there's no classes for Japanese ANYWHERE near where I live, I did a google search for "Free Online Japanese Classes" and Voila! The first one is the charm. So that's what I'm doing *nods*. I'm reading it over, taking notes on the vocab and the grammar and whatever, and making flashcards, and seeing as I have a buddy [Rachel] who wants to learn Japanese with me, I sent her the link, and we're going at the same pace. *grins* that way we have study buddies! XD

Actors, Arashi, and some YouTubed videos to keep you laughing all Day

This time I'm really going to try and stay on topic so bear with my horribletastic ramblings if I tend to go into them, kay?

Actors: I have four favourite Japanese Actors, that I love to death, and the best thing is: They've all somehow worked together in one way or the other. These guys are [in order that I'll explain them in] is Oguri Shun, Ikuta Toma, Hiroki Narimiya, and Matsumoto Jun. This is how they're related in work:

Oguri, Matsumoto, Ikuta- Hana Yori Dango 1 and 2
Oguri, Ikuta- Hana Kimi
Oguri, Matsumoto, Hiroki- Gokusen
Oguri, Hiroki- Stand Up!, Azumi [1]

Oguri Shun: Is my #1 top Japanese Actor. Why? Because I said so. He plays some of the best characters in all these dramas, and sometimes in movies, and does an AWESOME job on them. The role that I fell in love with him was when he plays Hanazawa Rui from Hana Yori Dango, and then I looked into Hana Kimi, where he played Sano Izumi. In Gokusen, he plays Ucchi, a kid from 3-D who causes trouble, while in Stand Up! he plays Ko-kun, the captain of the soccer team who has a problem talking to girls because he tries to be cool but in a totally horrible way. He also guest appears in Fire Boys as a graduated senpai of the main character, and, like Stand Up!, was the captain of the soccer team, who had a horrible accident and tries to start himself on fire.... >.<;. He plays Nachi in the Azumi movie, and ends up dying in the first 20 minutes. Ikuta Toma is my number 2 because he's not in as many dramas as Shun, but when he is around, it's usually funny. The drama I fell in love with him was Hana Kimi, where he played Nakatsu Shuichi and then proceeded to do all these funny things [Ore-wa homo ja nai ;)]. He's besties with Oguri Shun and loves hanging out with him. In Hana Yori Dango 2, he plays Oribe Junpei [one episode, I believe]. Hiroki Narimiya is my third because he's in a lot of dramas, but isn't that funny as Ikuta. I first saw him in Gokusen, where he played Noda, a member of 3-D who's always doing stupid stuff. He plays Udayan in Stand Up!, a kid who wants to be a rocker and has no self-confidence because he always tried to see under girls skirts, but gets beaten up because of that. Matsumoto Jun is my last favourite actor, not because he's bad or anything, but because he's not extremely funny, except in Hana Yori Dango 1 and 2, where he plays Domyouji Tsukasa. He plays Sawada Shin in Gokusen, the leader of 3-D and the only one who knows that Yankumi is from a Yakuza family. Matsumoto Jun is one of five members of Arashi. Arashi: is a J-Pop boy band, consisiting of five actors and singers. The only two guys I know from this band is Matsumoto Jun, and the guy who plays Shohei in Stand Up!. They're really good, ya know. They sing the theme songs for Hana Yori Dango, Hana Yori Dango 2, and Stand Up! and their songs are catchy. I'll upload some at the end with the Youtubed videos.

The Youtubed Videos: here are some of the funniest videos that I've found of my favourite actors in their J-Dramas, and when they're just being silly. There's also the Arashi videos at the end. There's also one of the Hitachiin twins [Ouran High School Host Club] meets Jack Sparrow, that's funny as heck. >:). [the J-Dramas are in Japanese with English subs, while the music videos arent. Sorries xD]
