Hello!
Sorry haven't been on for awhile...
Elle! Ah yes 1 Litre of Tears was indeed heart-wrenching and very moving. I didn't expect to cry since I'm not the crying over dramas type of person, so I shrugged it when someone recommended it to me and told me to have tissue right beside me...oh boy...if only I listened.
Ryo-chan is way hot [needs a little meat tho ne?]

he has those adorable eyes, and he was very aloof in the drama at first but as the story progresses "Asou-kun" shows his true-self to Aya-chan. The story was great, her fight to stay positive and her appreciation of her family was very touching. Lots of moving scenes, they picked a great cast for this drama. I would also highly recommend it!
Now I have tons of Ryo-chan pics in my hard-drive hahaha...can you say obssessed much? Been downloading in Clubbox everyday for his appearances with his two groups Kanjani8 and NewS, in Shounen Club, Honjani and whatever else show he's been in...
I'm watching Dragon Zakura right now with Yamapi, I think this was released before Nobuta Wo Produce. I'm still on the 3rd episode, not much has gone on but I find that in some dramas it gets better towards the end but the beginning is always boring. I'm also watching Tokyo Wankei, which stars Yukie Nakama [if i'm not mistaken] who was Yankumi from Gokusen and Toshihiro Wada, which is about two lovers bound by an impossible fate, since Mika played by Yukie, is a 3rd Generation Korean living in Japan and her father will only let her marry a Korean. She falls inlove with Ryosuke, a blue-collar warehouse worker who she meets "coincidentally" checking out an online dating service. This drama so far is interesting for me since it combines Korean and Japanese which I haven't really heard of in a drama. The actors are compatible with each other and the mother of her arranged "husband-to-be" is terribly annoying she's evil

.
I'll look up the other series you've mentioned to me, and check out that Takizawa Hideaki dude you mentioned.
I have Kurosagi with Yamapi, Anego with Jin Akanishi [Kat-Tun] and Ganbatte Ikimasshoi! with Ryo-chan and Attention Please with Aya Ueto and of course my dear Ryo-chan [I'm in episode 8] in line to be watched.

I'm excited to get these done
cRySTal123 Congratulations on your new job! Hopefully it's not to late for congratulations hehehe. I'm still in first episode of Tokyo Juliet though...

I will have to speed things up to catch up on where you guys are!
sancey, you must be new to the thread. Hello and Welcome, you can call me Michelle. We're all crazy about SDY hahaha....and we all agree that he is so F-I-N-E. We're glad to have you here on the thread. Hope we see you often here. We also talk about tons of other things as you can see...TWDrama, JDrama, and various other KDramas. Again Welcome!
Finally, about SDY

teehee. He looks so young in the pics you posted Elle...maybe because of the hair-cut and the boy-scout looking get up he has. Nonetheless he is still as cute as a button. I haven't finished Spring Waltz though...for some reason I refuse to watch it hahaha....because then it'll be over...

but Aja! Aja! Fighting! I can do this! I will, will myself to press that play button. Then I'll write everything I can remember about it here! hahaha.
Alas this is the end for now...since this has been a pretty long post. Now it's nearly done...
I should also tell you guys that I will be away for approximately five weeks...since I am going back home to my native Philippines. Gosh darn it now I have to polish up on my Filipino language skills, it should be really fun...malls, malls, malls...but I will miss you guys. Hopefully by the time I get back, we'll be hearing about SDY's new drama or movie or something eh?
Take Care everyone. I'll say goodbye before I leave.
