The L Word in the Jdrama World – Part 2: The Story

June 15, 2012 — 1 Comment

In the first part of this re-imagination of The L Word in a Jdrama universe, we saw my dreamcast.

 I’m still a little unsure on one of my main details, though, and that’s whether I want Meisa Kuroki as Carmen — the hot Latina who sizzled people’s screens and made Shane go Loco (I’m sorry for the cheesy bad writing, but The L Word deserves this cheese)… or whether she should play Molly — the no-longer-straight law student who wouldn’t fall for Shane’s game, so I’m hoping to be able to make a reasonable mish-mash of the both of them.

Because I only have this one series [1][2].

The L Word in the Jdrama World – Part 1: The Cast

June 14, 2012 — 3 Comments

I guess it must be the Blogathon week, I just couldn’t shake that feeling that I had to talk about The L Word one way or the other… again. What better way to talk about than combining it with MY FAVORITE topic as of lately~ JDRAMA!

A while back [1], I found a post where a fan talked what Japanese stars they would pick if they ever wanted to remake The L Word in Japan. Of course, I went a step further. I thought about the HOW TOs in the adaptation of a Japanese The L Word… because, well- for starters, Japan in not the USA. Also, I can’t show Showtime content on Japanese television. Not if I want to use my dreamcast~~~

 

I made this Jdrama character chart because I take this sh!t seriously. LOL

Cocoon’s Grid-It!

June 11, 2012 — Leave a comment

FML! Of course this amazingness had to be Japanese.

I’ve been looking for a proper way to store things in my bag (and elsewhere) — travelling is now a nightmare while one tries to figure out where to put cameras, phones, ipads, ipods, memory cards, cables, usb cables, chargers, and whatever else you travel with…

Coccon’s Grid-It! is… a pad, an elastic pad which you can use to strap things on. Sh!t doesn’t fall. You can stick it in your bag, or you can hang it on the side of your desk. You can shake it… it doesn’t freaking fall.

There seems to be 8 different sizes — from B6 format to A4 and a long format one — raging from $15USD to $45USD (1299 JPY to 3399 JPY).

You can check all info here.

April 2012 TomoTomo Hair

Obsession with hair is obsession. xD

I think I might cut my hair like the first one, though without the colors. My hair can’t take the dye any longer. Maybe highlights… I haven’t done things to my hair in ages.

Okaasan to Issho: Itou Mayu, Bye–bye~

May 29, 2012 — 2 Comments

I haven’t really been properly following Okaasan to Issho — this means I haven’t been practicing my Japanese much — so I was really REALLY surprised: first, when they changed the weather mascots so soon. I suspect it didn’t suit well with the whole Tohoku Earthquake. They seemed to have lasted just a couple of years compared to some of the others…

Anyway, the second thing that surprised me was… Itou Mayu is no longer there! Apparently she did her last show by the end of March. Sadly, I haven’t found any clip of that online.

From the Vault: Super Young Miki Nakatani

While searching for photos of Miki Nakatani, I ran into this picture of her as a kid — she can’t be topping 15 years old in here. She looks like she’s between 12 or 14. Because, MY GAWD. She looks different but not different, you know? This is the first EVER time I’ve seen her like this.
