Okay, so, thats what its about:
Its NOT "friends only", because when I post something "friends only" its most likely only for lilifee1989, my RL friend. Everything else is available for everyone who wants to view this blog. Its nothing special though, but if I can help you guys, I am happy ^^
I am in love with Japan, most of the stuff I write here is Japan related....

I won't tell you where I live or how I look like (though I am pretty ^^ - just kidding) because I dont trust the internet that much.
I will add everybody as a friend if you just write me a comment and tell me in 1 sentence why you would like to be friends... I dont like collecting people, but its okay if you want to say hello :D
That's it for now, I hope if you happen to drop by you find something helpful ;)

watching a JDorama, i saw a person writing "kawaii" with Kanji. I never recognized that before, normally I see it with Hiragana and Katakana only. カワイイ！ かわいい！

( 可愛い... )

hope this hasn't been posted (with pictures i mean) but i just got mail from H&M (I subscribed when I found out they are going to do something lolita-related) and thought I show you this...



its available in some hours...

so, what do you think? can you call it lolita? who is going to buy it? do you think its worth 350$? what do you think about people wearing this dress but are not into lolita?

just some thoughts...
~akyoku~

i am soooo damn angry!
today started good, but on my way home i took the tram for 1(!) station (i think it was stolen back then, because i just had it before) and someone took it out of my handbag...

its not that i liked the cellphone itself a lot (it was like, from 2006, siemens) but I had all my telephone numbers in it, and stickers from GLB and straps that i bought in japan ...

i think its not my fault, but i feel like i should have cared for it a bit more....

now i have to get a new one (something i already thought about, but not some random) and the problem is, i dont get a cellphone not bound by contract .... which sucks!

main point: I want a JAPANESE cellphone (say i am crazy, but ketai are GREAT)
i have to look for one that works in Europe and isnt too expensive because i have to pay for it myself (my parents would buy me one here, but thats not the best option in my opinion)

Therefore I am going to post in some Japan-related communities to get help (because I DO NOT trust ebay at all - yesasia sells some phones too)

thats it for today, I am thankful for any help, input ^^
~akyoku~

Only two months left and its a new year... time goes by ...
I am a bit late, because I just didnt have a lot of time (which isnt true, but i wasnt at LJ for some days) AND i was hit by a bus ... hope that gets me sympathy XD
This month I am looking for the JDoramas that started late in October or hasnt been subbed yet. And I am a bit into NEWS right now, because about this time of the year was the first time I fell for them... (Last Month was more of a Moi dix Mois month - or since Oct.21th ^^)
So I hope for some old/new Dramas of the Members (and hopefully more action as a band) ^^

Ueto Aya

Together with Maki one of my favourite actresses (i will post my top 5 here soon ^^), I am currently watching "Celeb to Binbo Tarou" and realized I didnt have a list for Aya-chan yet. Also for Maki which I totally forgot... ^^


( Cuteness and Rock Power ;) )

~akyoku

Shunji Iwai
and here goes antoher first: director.... i dont have many directors i like, but his movies are really awesome.
( but check for yourself if you like his work or not ;) )

Aoi Yuu

First girl on my list, it should be Maki-chan but i happened to get hold of some of Aoi's movies lately, so she makes the beginning of my favourite actresses (she is like, one of 5 i really like unlike the male section ^^)

( ... Aoi Yuu - a lot of movies ^^ )

I remembered doing this a while ago and thought about doing it again ...

just use google and you find lots of these tests, i did 5 just now:

DeathClock gives me until: Wednesday, May 30, 2068

DeathTimer says: Your Estimated Date of Demise (E.D.D.) is: 19 April 2070

DeathForecast isnt that specific: Akyoku's Death Forecast: It is estimated that you will die at the age of 89 Years Old.

Day4Death gives a lot of details and time: When: Sunday October 7, 2085, at age of 96. Where: Nursing Home 43.10% How: Heart disease 38.20% [I already thought キラ would kill me sometime ^^]

Bzoink is most pessimistic: Die on June 18, 2009 (!), Die of Heart Attack, and feel pain BUT if i also write my last name, i live longer: Die on November 18, 2053, Die of Laziness, and feel pain [I stick with キラ again, sounds more fun :D - who wants to die of laziness anyway?]


So, I have some options: die at the age of: 20, (64), 79, 81, 89, 96

( *nakatsu, pinku aura...* )

( here you go for some great stuff ^^ )

Oguri Shun

Well, he is EVERYWHERE! I dont mind, but at first it was kinda akward ^^ No i got into JDoramas and I know how it works ;) anyway, Shun was one of the first japanese actors I knew (Hanazakari no Kimitachi he was my very first JDorama - I fell for Maki and Toma, but I also liked Shun - not to mention that I followed the careers of most of the Hana Kimi cast ^^)
(  and because I just LOVE Hanazawa Rui here is his performers JDorama List ^^ )

Matsumoto Jun
Well, I know him since - actually Hana Yori Dango because I only really KNEW him then - Gokusen 1, when it was repeated in Japan in a row. After that he happened to appear a lot and I started to appreciate his acting ability ... though he has a personal site I dont get along with - and sometime I dont like him at all - but I respect talent a lot (especially acting) and therefore I enjoy watching him in his plays ;)
(  and here we go (not as good as 山P's, but I dont use as much time for others ^^ )

A new month (and a new season) which means there is A LOT going on in Japanese TV ^^ And because I am currently starting my 3rd semester at university AND I have new acting classes I really have to reduce my JDorama list (though the limit is still 10 at once - BUT this time there are more new ones than old ones, I worked hard *lol* last month :D)

And for more: my Complete JDorama and JMovie Post :D

In "Death Note" (the first movie) Light Yagami reads the german version (therefore: the original version) of "Jenseits von Gut und Böse" by Friedrich Nietzsche.

Here is the screenshot, for everyone looking for it, its on the second DVD at 0:27:26 or if you watch the whole movie, it should be around 1:30:00 [not sure, because there are no subs on my original version and so I usually watch the downloaded one - in 2 DVD version ^^]



Though my german skills arent that bad ^^, I was looking for the same copy and finally found it :)
[also because i am really interested in that topic, thats also a reason why i loved Maou :D - and reading "Faust" again ^^]



"Insel Verlag" (part of "Suhrkamp")
pages: 391
Paperback
price: ~15$

Okay, so I just wanted to mention that, not like anyone else havent done that already ^^, but its my blog, I can do with it whatever I want and most of the time its just for me :D

Movie Quotes:


デスノート
夜神月: 「えるしってるか・死神は・りんごしかたべない」

Death Note
Yagami Light: "L, do you know, Shinigami only eat apples"

I know this one also appears in the manga (the original version) and the anime (which also aired before the movie even started) BUT I first saw the movie and therefore I decided to put it here. I am sorry if that seems inappropriate.



JDorama Quotes:

Literature Quotes:

Manga Quotes:

Death Note
chapter 16, page 17
Ryuuku: "To me apples are ... How can I explain this ... They're like cigarettes and alcohol to me. If I don't get any for a long time, I would get kind of strange ..."
Yagami Light: "What do you mean, strange?"
Ryuuku: "My body would twist around."
Yagami Light: "I don't want to see that."
Ryuuku: "That's right!"

Music (lyric) Quotes:

Interview Quotes:

well, because he is my favourite from Johnny's and I had this list hanging around ^^

( 山Ｐ is soooo LOVE ^^ ) 

Well, I started watching Fuurin Kazan today and I got really bored because that just isnt my favourite type of JDorama ^^
I thought about collecting the scenese with Gackt by hand, but than I remebered my always-available LJ and decided to write it down here :D

okay, the very first scene is at episode 24, about 30minutes after the beginning (if you dont count his name appearing - finally! - in the credits ^^ they wrote: 「ガクト Ｇａｃｋｔ」)
thats how far I am right now *lol*

Well, posting just some of them doesnt make sense, ne ^^
Therefore I took out all of them (I could find right now :P) and made a little photoshoot :D
Sadly, I cant remember where I got most of them, nor, WHEN i got them ...

( click here for some awesome bracelets ^^ )

For my new bracelet I had to browse some stuff about Chinses Zodiacs and got lost in my own charasterics for a while - and remembered that I did that some time ago, when it was our homework at school. I hate doing stuff twice, so I thought about collecting everything in a LJ post. So I can use that one in a useful way, once or twice in a while ;)

( chinese zodiac, astrology, blood type, ... )

I collect bracelets, so everytime I am on vacation or in another country, I buy one. Most of the time I pick just one I like, but I love to collect the actual trends.
This time I was lucky, my best friend brought me a bracelet from China. She didnt know the name of it, but i did a bit of resource and learned that its called "Chinese Lucky Bracelet".

It has red glass pearls, two shining pearls and one animal (of the chinese zodiac, still trying to figure out, which one that is ^^ - i guess its a rooster, because i looks bird like...)



There are also DIY's for these bracelets on the internet.

Chinese Zodiac Animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig

This reminds me, I would soo love a(n asian) trends community, to post stuff like that .... not only the sale communities. BUT, i have never been a trend person, therefore I cant create such a community ;)

wah~ my grandfather just had a little stroke...

and dont you dare to watch this post if you havent watched this episode ;)
but I was like キャア！！！　and probably woke my whole neighbourhood so I decided to do some gifs about it ^^

(  go here for more  )

Predictable, this post will be eddited A LOT~
but, though I lost all my files because my pc broke down i need a list ... i want a list
and for lilifee1989 - there you go with your exchange list ^^
as for anybody else ~ i am glad to help sharing, just leave a comment :)
