Hikaru Utada - Prisoner of Love (Long Version)
Nothing special about this video despite the amazing theme song for Last Friends. It’s mostly scenes of the singer either struggling to compose a song or in deep thought.
Last Friends: Sneak Peek
At last! I was waiting anxiously for this drama to come out. No seriously, as soon as I entered my room, I dropped my 20-something kg backpack and ran towards the computer, knocking anything that came in my way. All for Juri Ueno (Nodame Cantabile) and Manami Nagasawa (Proposal Daisakusen).
So what’s the big deal, you say? Last Friends highlights on the problems affecting today’s Japanese generation. Well, not all problems (obviously, or we’d be glued to our seats for hours). From what I understand, there’s a tomboyish girl who falls in love with a feminine girl but there’s a boy who likes the girl who is in love with the other girl but can’t accept her love because he has a sex phobia from a really really angsty trauma in his earlier years. Oh, and the feminine girl is a domestic violence victim.
Uh, I can see you are bilwildered and shying away from the potential angst overload. Admit it.
The intro is quite beautiful even though it reeks of angst. Check it out.
About Idabi
Clearly I’ve got to introduce myself properly. The last introduction was harsh in my opinion so here’s another failed attempt to describe myself.
I am a Canadian-born Bengali who dropped into the whole spellbinding world of Asian dramas by accident. If it weren’t for my otaku anime obsession, I would have totally missed out on the whole shebang and remain obsessed to 2D pixelated motion. Yarrh. Despite the garbage that the Bollywood industry is spewing out recently, I am still attached to them since birth. It’s sad no? Who knows, maybe the Bollywood industry will do a 180 and go back to its glamour and charm. Whenever that happens, I intend to chronicle whatever catches my interest. As of right now, Asian soap operas, movies, Youtube videos and digg are my sole reasons of flailing.
When I’m not blogging or surfing the net, I could be found stressing out in your local exam room, singing my happy heart out as if I were a cast in Broadway, meditating in your library with contemporary classics on one side while videogaming or just lazying around under a tree.
I’m a champion at lazy blogging too.
What can I say.
