This year has been really great for J-dramas. I started on Hanzawa Naoki and you'd think a drama about a bank losing money would be really boring, but this entire thing is so tense and crazy that I'm hooked already. And I've only watched one episode.

Go watch it if you need a new drama to obsess over \o/

 

 

 


Never realized Miyano Mamoru released a song this year

Me, either. I kind of forget about him (but I don't mean to :cry: ). It sounds okay, but I've heard better from him.

Sakai Masato is amazing as Hanzawa.  :stare:  If he's not up for any kind of award for this role, he needs to be.

 

I'm only a few episodes in, so I don't want to talk about it until I'm all caught up. >< Have only 5 episodes aired so far?

This is only Hikki's so far. Haven't gotten through her dad's yet. Sorry it's taking me a while. This is hard.

 

 

 

 

On the morning of August 22nd, my mother took her own life.

 

There's been lots of speculation going around, so please let me say a few words on this.

 

For the longest time, she had been suffering from a mental illness. Due to the nature of situation, it was very diffcult to convince her to get treatment. As a family we wanted to do what was best for her in the long run, but it was very stressful.

 

I've watched my mother's illness progress from a time when I was very young. Her symptoms worsened, and she began to distrust people, including members of her own family. The distinction between delusion and reality became blurred, and she lost control of all her behavior and emotions. I felt like I was just flailing about, unable to do anything.

 

While I hope that mother has been released from her years of suffering, her last act was just too heartbreaking, and it fills me with regret.

 

Although she was often misunderstood...she was actually a very shy person in spite of her image, she had a strong sense of justice, she loved to laugh, she had a quick wit, she was very protective of her children, she was a bit of a scatterbrain, and she was the most beautiful person I knew. I have many sad memories, but when my mother comes to mind, I remember her smiling.

 

I am proud to be my mother's daughter. I'm very thankful that I met her.

 

I have recieved so many warm words from countless people, and I'm reminded again that I have a lot of support.

 

Thank you very much.

I took the day off of work today, and since I had some free time I decided to try getting into Shiina Ringo. And I have liked what I have been hearing so far.

Does anyone have any major recommendations of her less well known tracks that I should check out?

What have you heard so far?

Random. 

 

I think the theme of the show was the year 200 hence the Sydney Olympics stuff.

 

OMG I forgot embarrassing this was, the audience was not having it

I'm still angry at her hair.
