Paradise Kiss - Live Action Movie

I won't deny it, I'm a HUGE fan of Paradise Kiss the manga. And I love the 'pre-story' Gokinjo no Monogatari (Neighborhood story) as well. I heard they would make a Live Action of the manga last year but haven't watched it until now since I heard a lot of bad reviews about it.. And I was really disappointed by the poor quality of the anime as well, so I really wondered how a live action would turn out. But to my surprise, I really liked it!

Even though it's different than the manga, and they changed the story, I still quite liked it. I especially really liked how they made the studio look almost exactly like the one from the manga, from the entrance to the room, the couch where Yukari wakes up, and the bar and stuff (◕‿◕✿)

I know a lot of people might have complained and disliked it from the beginning due to the difference in character appearance from the original story. I was a bit disappointed as well, but I still think the actors managed to bring out the characters' personally well which I think is the most important.

Aaaand! Yusuke Yamamoto was in it as well so I HAD to watch it at some point lol *slaps self* Well I was a bit surprised by him playing Hiro, but it was cute ♥

Keiko Kitagawa that plays Yukari is sooo pretty as well （*´▽｀*） I think she fits Yukari pretty well.
Aya Oomasa that played Miwako was cute, but I would have imagined Miwako a bit smaller and 'child-like'.
Isabella was quite surprising!! I was REALLY wondering how they would portray Isabella, but I think that was really well done.
I'm not quite a fan Osamu Mukai, but it wasn't too bad with him as George..

The filming, scenography, and music was good as well I think, especially compared to other live actions which I think tend to be produced a bit cheap.

Well, I'm a sucker for those kind of love stories as well and I really enjoyed it! Although the original story will always be the best ofc (∩_∩) I'd say the movie is somehow shallow as they don't have time to get in depth with the other characters which is a shame. Especially the story with Miwako, Arashi and Hiro is really touching, but the movie kinda 'skipped' that pretty fast which is really sad (´∩｀。)
But I guess that's typical with many stories made into movies and so on.

Did anyone else watch it? And if so, what did you think??

After I watched the movie I felt like reading the manga once again lol (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

And this scene!! Lol Yusuke ♥ I'd never dump you!! （●´∀｀）ノ♡ lololol ok sorry I'll stop now >_>;

I'd say this is one of the best live action movies I've seen so far, especially with filming and stuff (∩_∩)

lolol and TWO J-drama/movie reviews in a row.. says a lot about what I'm doing XD

きみがいるから

Outfit from saturday. 

A bit hostess-inspired i guess lol.. I considered wearing a black hat matching the outfit to complete the look but I figured I'd just end up looking like a total pimp haha.

I went to Jeongie's to warm up that day, but in the end we didn't go out at all and just ended up talking and having a nice and fun evening (∩_∩)

It was actually kinda fun to wear a classy style like that again since I've only been wearing casual/street/amekaji-inspired outfits like this lately →

Well I guess I still prefer that kinda style since it feels more like 'me'. Yes I'm childish like that hoho.. But in the end, my mood decides what kind of style I want to wear a certain day （￣∀￣）

Soo, do you usually dress/prefer a certain style, or do you also change/experiment? (∩_∩)

Yesterday I watched a Japanese movie called "Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac".

Well the synopsis of the movie (taken from mysoju):

"If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn't have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn't have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn't have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Mirai, keeps calling her 'Chief'. She'd know about her mom's new family. She'd know about her dad's fiancee. She never would have met Yuki, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn't have wanted to kiss him back. But Naomi picked heads." 

Anyone watched that before? I thought it was a complete Japanese movie happening in a Japanese school and so on, but was really surprised with how many Americans that took part in the movie and how much English that was spoken. I kinda liked the movie and was really caught in the story Ô.Ô Well I'll recommend it to anyone feeling like watching a love story~ ♥

This was the ending song for the movie "kimi ga iru kara". I thought it was kinda cute (∩_∩)

That's all for now! I have to leave for school in a couple of hours as well *sigh*

Thanks for reading ♪♫

Frosty.. Ice cold

*:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:*

 

I went out with my little sister this Tuesday to watch Disney's Tangled. I was really surprised! It was soo good! I really liked it since I hadn't expected much ♥

And then I bought this hat and the legwarmes (and some white fur legwarmers as well) ^^ Actually my mom suggested me to buy the hat, and now she wants one too bahahaha!! She was like.. "It's soo soft and looks soo warm!! o.o".. So I'll get her one next time >w<

  

Btw.. I went to H&M the other day.. And suddenly they got a lot Usamimis and a big orange fake fur tail!! Ô.Ô Go Japan-crazy ne? Haha!

*:--☆--:*:--☆:*:--☆--:*:--☆--:*

 

BAHAHAHAHA!! And I find this too hilarious!!!

Love SHINee! But this just made it even better!! I can't listen to the song anymore without laughing XD

Yankee-kun to... fake nails!

Yesterday's outfit..

Curled hair and more natural looking lashes (even though you can't see them unless you're close >.>)
Yesterday I went out on a little "date" with my bf. We wanted to watch the new movie "Legend of the Guardians - The Owls of Ga'Hoole" and only Cinemaxx showed the movie that day so we went to the shopping center Fisketorvet before going to the movies. I bought a cardigan and a sweater/dress (it's actually navy even though it looks black)

I fell in love with both and they're also really warm and comfortable <3
After that we went to a restaurant to eat - and realized I'd dropped my cellphone ∑(O_O；) I was almost certain that I dropped it in the shop where I bought my clothes since it was the only time I took my jacket off.. I remembered hearing a "clock!" but when I looked on the floor there was nothing.. -_-' So annoying - but luckily I got it back today.. My mom wrote an email and told me they had called from the shop and my cell phone was there *phew*

But otherwise I LOVED the movie!!! I didn't really have any expectations even though I hated Happy Feet - but it was SO beautiful, epic and lovely at the same time that I was mesmerized from the beginning ^^' I'll definitely buy it when it comes out on dvd ♡＼(･∀･*)

Friday my bf played a concert and I decided that this was the day to try wearing fake nails ＼（－－）／

I got these from my friend Rose.. I found out I love fake nails - but hate the fact that I can't really do.. anything ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ But I'm getting more used to it.. And I wanted to do some big hair so I made a high ponytail, back-combed it and made a big side fringe :3 However I'd forgotten it was "J-dag" and I went out to the concert place alone....... But nothing happened besides lots of stares ζ~（∂_∂）~ζ
There were some REALLY mean and annoying people at the concert place -.- It was a rather small place and 4 bands played in total. It was all some sub-genre of rock but nothing like the music my bf's band was playing - so people were shouting things like "Go home and cry!" or just booo'ing.. Kinda astonishing thus I felt like beating their sorry asses... Fine if you don't like the music - but you don't need to act like a fucking retard... Anygay....

Today I finally finished Jo's top - I'm really pleased with the outcome! But I'm still a n00b since it's my first homemade cosplay >_>' And I have to color the fabric for the pants again in some other way since it turned out rosy-colored after drying.. Not stressful at all since there's less than a week for J-popcon and the pants is the most difficult part (*゜Д゜*) *cries*

I'm watching this J-drama right now "Yankee-kun to Megane-chan" it's really funny! And with one of my fav actors Narimiya Hiroki *fangirling* Based on the manga with some title (I haven't read) and kinda the regular highschool goes Yakuza crazy story with cheesy messages.. But I still enjoy it ヽ(*￣o￣*)>

Hope you all had a nice weekend! ♥
