SUBBED VERSION by akirashocksubs

This new release from NEWS was hyped for so long because of their Russ-K commercials. Honestly, I didn't really think much about it. I thought that it was going to be one of those overproduced PVs like KAT-TUN's LIPS or something kind of eccentric like weeeek ( though I did love that PV) But I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong.

[It kind of makes up for the fact that I waited til dawn for this PV's release in Break Point! but it didn't happen. WTF, Kitagawa! Whats with that faulty schedule?]

 

nice healthy boys

Romeo and Juliet" is about a female college student Juri Kihira and an injured young man (Hiromichi) she meets on the street. They fall in love, not knowing that the girl's police detective chief father is in the midst of a manhunt to find the young man's physician father, who is wanted for murder.

Its a human drama that stars Takizawa Hideaki from Tackey and Tsubasa. ( Of course, a senpai of Johnny's Entertainment) I watched this mainly because I saw that he acted in it. I justa wanted to see Mr. Takizawa's acting skills and angelic face. ^.~

Alright, so he wasnt that HOT as an actor. I prefer him belting out songs on stage and acting like the dork he is. It's more natural for him. His acting in Romeo and Juliet seems forced and unnatural, his face registers almost no emotion. needless to say, it was boring. The only thing that got me through it was the fact that I was bored and there was nothing else to do and taht there was Tackey on my screen.

The girl was a little better though, though amateur. I swear I have seen her in another film before.Thats right. She was in Proposal Daisakusen and Dragon Zakura. She was better in DZ. I dont know about Prodai. I havent finished it.

Anyway, I liked the ending set of Romeo and Juliet. The scene by the church with falling autumn leaves. It's so romantic. The story flowed slowly...and its good enough for a TV special. Its a good watch for when you have nothing much to do and want a little romance and human drama in your life.

I give it 3 stars, because Tackey was cute.

This is a story about four friends find themselves the last virgins left at school. During the summer holidays, a girl they knew as children 11 years ago, moves back to the neighborhood. Despite their childhood attraction to her, they realize she is a mere shadow of the "princess" they all thought they knew. This story of summer - love, friendship, school, family, the hypocrisy of adults, complications of life, experience and failure is set in an everyday shopping district and shows the clumsiness of children who have developed a little later than their peers. It's a bright romantic comedy that both young and old can appreciate.

I thought I should watch it just because some of my favorite actors and actresses are there in the drama. It was Oguri Shun, Narimiya Hiroki, Arashi's Ninomiya Kazunari and NEWS' Yamashita Tomohisa. The plot didn't interest me, but I watched anyway because I wanted to see how these 4 unlikely actors would have chemistry on screen. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a fun drama to watch, especially when you are sick and there is nothing to do.

Ninomiya's innocent face was convincing. Yamashita was a little bland, as he acts the same way he does in all his dramas. Oguri Shun was funny and Hiroki was... well Hiroki. I think they played each role pretty well.

Suzuki Anne ( I watched her in Ganbatte Ikkimasshoi!) was pretty good too. She wasnt as pretty, but she had quite a charm to her. Overall, its a good enough summer drama to fill up time, but its not anything mind blowing.

Though, fans of Yamashita Tomohisa may like this drama. Also, I bet Ninomiya's fans too. I never really liked him until now. ^_^ Well, I'll check him out in Yamada Taro Monogatari and see if I was right about him!

Yamada Taro, a freshman on a scholarship at Ichinomiya Private Senior High School, is high-achieving, strikingly handsome, and truly athletic and seems perfect. But he is actually extremely poor. The story humorously portrays Taro, who tackles problems that occur because of his poverty, and his six younger brothers and sisters.

This story is one that I really enjoyed. In fact, I marathoned it for 2 days and decided that this is a keeper. I love the flow of the story. The drama and the comedy were very tastefully and creatively done. Plus, the kids were adorable.

The main stars were from ARASHI. Sakurai Sho ( Mimura) and Ninomiya Kazunari ( Yamada Tarou) they were adorable. I really was never interested in ARASHI except for Jun but lately watching Nino, I fell in love with his acting ability and sweet face. Sho was sophisticated and cool,and he was just right for the role. I think the girl they had this time was adorable and did so well.

What surprised me about the series was the father, Kazuo who was played by Matsuoka Mitsuru who was also a singer. He looks too young to be a father of a college age kid. ( and he's hot) hehe. ^_^

I liked the series. That's about what I can say about it. Its a great feel good series. If you like ARASHI and this kind of drama. Watch it

Based on the novel by Kiyoshi Shigematsu. - it is th of Shuuji, a boy who lives in a reclaimed land. He is a gentle boy. His parents are openly more proud of Shuuichi, Shuuji's elder and musch clever brother. But Shuuji loves him too. Many things occur around him. Whe a yakuza guy called Oniken moves in the land, Shuuji befriends with him. BUt he suddenly dies. Oniken's mistress Akane makes him realize his sexual desire for the first time. A little romance with a lonely girl named Eri, who doesn't beleive anyone since her parents committed suicide. A new Father comes to the church. He believes his brother committed a murder because of his fault. And one day, Shuuichi experiences serious failure which leads him to set fire on their house. It's the beginning of the collapse of the family...

I had feared there was something fundamentally wrong with Sabu's work, because there still remains few example of his work available officially with English Subtitles for people to pick up and watch. Amazing though, that this film, if not in itself considered by fans to be as good as previous works, is something truly worthwhile - a tragic love story told with great skill. A real gem, and I hope people choose and manage to catch it.

It was first feared to be a religious statement as there was a Catholic Church in a generally Shinto or Buddhist region, then as the movie wove its way through the two-hours, I found myself admiring the subtle social commentary, the tragic love story, the thriller and even the artistic way that only Sabu can do.

THe film remains down-to-earth, soulful and incredibly insightful, original. Similar films of this ilk, the slice-of-life dramas that are relatively frequent, sometimes manage more focus or clarity, but they're rarely so obviously packed with ideas to be pealed away and revealed. Smartly constructed.

The love story of Eri and Shuuji was creatively packed into this small but powerful film that captures you and keeps you guessing until the very last moment. It is powerful and attention grabbing so that you will not dare multi-task in this film.

The main character of this movie wasTegoshi Yuya from NEWS, and he was the reason why I dared to watch this movie. Most fangirls tell me that that this encaptulates his emo character and the peak of his acting career. I could not agree more. He was really great in this movie. Albeit, he was very young. this was an awesome break for him and i was glad to see this movie.

Although, if you are weak with blood, gore, sex and the like... you may want to.. well... keep that in mind.

two thumbs up

Shounen Club Talk Segment 2005.7.10
"Dear My Friend Letter"

OMG. I am flailing seriously. I have been watching SHOKURAS nonstop and dling them and translating them and I cant stop flailing. Here are some thoughts as I watch this.

 2001.11.11 SHOUNEN CLUB Feat. Nishikido Ryo

Hoshi wo Mezashite!I love seeing them perform this, over and over, which is exactly what they did in 2007. These past few  months, they have been promoting the CD and single. The song  Hoshi wo Mezashite is the theme for the Japanese version of  Happy Feet which Tegoshi Yuya is the voice actor for Mumble.  WHeee! Can you imagine our Tego-nyan a penguin?!

I cut out the talk part since I am mainly just reviewing the  actual performance itself. I have cut some of these myself! Please download them and watch NEWS perform with me.

The other night,  when my brain is most alive. (Like at 2:00 am or so)  suboshiyuiand I decided that we should go ahead and PV Perv ( my term on obsessing over PVs). Anyway, we decided to watch all of NEWS PVs and all of Yamashita Tomohisa's PVs. (yeah, we are that obsessive). This is the list of PVs we watched for NEWS below in the cut, are our observations and notes we made on each one. I have researched each PV and put it up here. I have uploaded each so you can download and watch with me! Caps can be downloaded as well as provided by suboshiyui.Give her some love for that. I will be updating this post everytime NEWS releases a new video or new information is found with each video. I hope you enjoy reading it!!
