Awhile back, while going through some Johnny’s Junior names with a friend, I noticed that Nakajima Yuuto (Japanese wiki) and Nakashima Mika (Japanese wiki) have the same last name, 中島. I knew from before that every Kanji has different pronunciations, but did not realize at the time that there could be different pronunciations of Kanji when it’s used in names. Now that I’ve seen the first couple of episodes of Oishii Puropoozu, and watching Ookawachi (大河内) and Ookouchi (大河内) converse about the homonyms in their respected last names, I’ve realized that the same last names in Japanese, which are pronounced the same in Chinese, can be read different ways in names too. Japanese sure is weird…

He looks like Brad Pitt.

And it’a Matsumoto Jun’s birthday!!! Horray!

I actually remembered this date awhile back, always telling myself that I need to remember it this summer. A couple of days ago I was like, ‘Oh man, August 30th is coming up.. I better not forget..’ and when I came back from Meijer tonight, I remember that then in less than an hour, Matsumoto Jun would turn 24! Yay!!

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear MatsuJun…
Happy birthday to you..!

I actually wanted to record the song, but decided against it.

… to New York, Baltimore and Washington, DC.

This is a shoutout to all my dramaholic friends…

I feel that Inoue Mao is a better at acting than Matsumoto Jun is. I’ve watched the episodes of First Kiss that I hadn’t seen before with subs and just saw animated gifs of Hana Yori Dango. I tried to find what episode it was from and while watching Hana Yori Dango, in my mind I’m comparing the different main character in the two dramas that were portrayed by Inoue Mao, and the difference is striking. While Makino Tsukushi is pleasant, indecisive, and normal, Fukunaga Mio is spoilt, selfish, and quick-minded. I cannot believe that they are the same person in real life, the difference is stunning. Often, when you watch 2 or 3 dramas with the same actors and actresses in it, you begin to notice the characteristics and personality of the actor/actress with it. This usually happens with Matsumotot Jun, Yamashita Tomohisa (though not as often as Matsumoto Jun), Narimiya Hiroki, and Horikita Maki. However, when I watch First Kiss and then watch Hana Yori Dango, I feel that the main characters are completely two different people. Of course, the wardrobe plays a big part in this situation, but Inoue Mao’s expressions and body language is totally different in comparison between the two. I’m not sure if anyone else agrees with me or not because I haven’t been wandering in d-addicts lately.

There comes a time, when I feel very disconnected with the world and when people you want most to understand misunderstands, to doubt yourself and the meaning of life. It is a very lonely feeling.
