ingtkan kembali nape prologue end is one of my favs... my most fav mayb... reminding me so much why i love this guy so much... a reason why look doesn't matter... yasu needs to recover soon or i'll start to play every single thing from janne da arc & acid black cherry every single minute...
Until now, how many important things do you suppose I've lost?
Without even realizing it, I suppose I've hurt someone over and over again, haven't I?
If we assume that it's just fate for people to sin over and over from the moment they're born
Do my own mistakes repeat over and over as well? Along with this sorrow...
Can our past really disappear someday?
Can I really become strong?
Is it all right, even if I cry sometimes?
Having met you...changed me
Do you suppose my meager courage...could have saved someone?
Do you suppose in the time I can't turn back...I've restored my faith in something?
If we assume that one who can be saved just by knowing the love of another is weak
Can you forgive me now for loving you? And this joy, too...
Is it all right for me to dream again?
Is it all right for me to move on?
Is it all right, even if I cry just a little?
Closing my eyes, I am touched by what it means to live
Since I swore to love you
Since I swore to live my life with you
Since I swore to protect you
I will pledge my whole self to you...
In our fleeting lives...so that the sad times...never leave you in tears...
Even if all I can do is save you, do you suppose that makes me a little stronger?
For the sake of your happiness alone...
With the voice of the gentle breeze
And the tenderly green colors around me
Under the bright light of the sun
With the strength you gave me, I can carry on
Since I swore to love you
Since I swore to live my life with you
Since I swore to protect you
I will pledge my whole self to you...
Noriyuki Higashiyama, Yoshino Kimura headed for marriage?
Shonentai's Noriyuki Higashiyama (43) has reportedly found love. He is said to be seriously dating actress Yoshino Kimura (33), with the prospect of getting married next spring.
Based on multiple sources close to the couple, their relationship started in March 2008 when they acted together in Yukio Ninagawa's production of "Farewell My Concubine." At that time, Higashiyama had broken up with actress Rina Uchiyama (28) about half a year earlier, while Kimura had barely broken up with Yusuke Iseya (33).
The two are said to frequently be spending time together, and Higashiyama has even shared a meal with Kimura and her parents. Kimura has also reportedly informed a few of her close friends that they are getting married.
The additional cast members of the "Koshonin" movie have been revealed. The movie, first announced in July, is based on the popular TV Asahi drama series that is currently in its second season.
Like the drama series, the "Koshonin" film will star Ryoko Yonekura (34) as a police negotiator. She will be joined by the other main characters from the show, but six new names have been added to the cast of the movie: Takashi Sorimachi (35), Kento Hayashi (18), Hiroki Narimiya (27), Toshiro Yanagiba (48), Isao Hashizume (68), and Masahiko Tsugawa (69). One of them will be the criminal responsible for a bombing and a hijack.
Some details about their characters are known. Tsugawa is a former leading journalist; Hashizume is a politician with ambitions of becoming Prime Minister; Narimiya is the president of an IT venture company; Yanagiba is the pilot of the hijacked plane; Sorimachi and Hayashi are passengers on the plane.
The "Koshonin" movie will open in theaters on February 11.
MOSCOW -- A 10-year-old Japanese actress has been chosen to star in a new film directed by Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov.
Bodrov, 61, best known for his 2008 Oscar-nominated film "Mongol," selected Chika Arakawa as a leading actress for his latest film, "Yakuza's Daughter," to be introduced at the Berlin International Film Festival in February next year.
Bodrov's new comedy features a little Japanese girl (Arakawa), a granddaughter of a notorious yakuza boss, and her friendship with a young Russian (Vadim Dorofeev), whom she meets after her plane to Rome makes a crash landing in southern Russia and she becomes separated from her bodyguard.
The Russian director has also worked with Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano, 35, who played a main character in "Mongol."
"Arakawa's cheerful and curious personality matched the image of the heroine," said Bodrov, adding, "She was brilliant, just like Asano, and her performance was natural."
"Yakuza's Daughter" was shot in Japanese cities including Tokyo and Kyoto, as well as in the Ukraine, and filming wrapped up in mid-November.
"Russian movie makers would not give up until they were fully satisfied with their work. But, they were fun, kind and cheerful people," said Arakawa, recalling her experience with foreign filmmakers.
In Japan, she is known for her appearances on kids' TV programs including NHK's "Minna-no-Uta."
I loved you...and that gentle voice, too
I loved you...and your slightly wavy hair
I loved you...and your chestnut-colored eyes
I love you...even now, I still love you
When I close my eyes, you're laughing
Just like that day, I want to pull you close
Those beautifully happy times are over
Even looking back, you're not there
Those wounds that consumed me are still hurting
Your tender voice echoing, even now
Please, let me cry a little
"Goodbye" to the one I loved more than any other
I loved you...the one who cried more easily than anyone
I loved you...pouting when I got up to my old tricks
I loved you...your willful, blazing jealousy
I love you...even though I loved you like that, too
Saying "I hate you so much", you're laughing
When we embraced, you became dear to me
Even at those times, with your usual tenderness
You gave me a kiss
Even so, I got used to 'love'
Taking your tender lies for granted
Still so selfish
I abandoned you and left you all alone
That day, you held back your tears
I hate you...I really hate you, you said, pulling me into a trembling embrace
Even though I knew it was a lie
In my dishonesty I pretended I didn't notice that at all
You said it, that final lie
You shed them, those last tears
I told you it was over, before dawn
Outside the window, the cold rain
That day, you held back your tears
I hate you...I really hate you, you said, pulling me into a trembling embrace
Even though I knew it was a lie
In my dishonesty I pretended I didn't notice that at all
These wounds that consumed me are still hurting
Since these will be my last tears for you
Please, let me cry, just for today
"Goodbye" to the one I loved more than any other

At 'PS mobile', the official mobile website of record label PS COMPANY, fans can view blogs written by the artist managers for free.
Recently one manager recounted an interesting incident that happened among the GazettE! Do you want to know what it was about? Let's have a look...
Sakai [artist manager] "Today a miracle occurred. It all happened with [drummer] Kai-kun appearing at work in his car. He arrived a bit earlier than scheduled, so we chatted inside the room. That was when I received a phone call from [the other manager] Mr. Saito!!"
[The following conversation is Saito, Kai and Sakai talking on the phone]
Saito: Kai-kun, why did you park your car out in the streets?
Sakai: (What?) Wait, I'll go get Kai-kun.
Kai: Hi this is Kai. What's up?
Saito: Why is your car left out beside the road?
Kai: Aargh! Uh-oh, I forgot!!
Saito: I feel sorry for you.
Kai: What! Why?
Saito: You're fined for illegal parking!!
Kai: No!!! That can't be trueeee!!
Kai dashed outside to have a look. He found a ticket slapped onto the windshield. [Technically in Japan it is illegal to park cars anywhere beside designated parking lots.]
The people around him were quick to point out to Kai "It's your own fault."
Everyone, be careful not to get caught parking illegally!
Actor Funakoshi Eiichiro (49) and actress Fukada Kyoko (27) both attended the stage greeting prior to the preview screening of their movie called "Ululu No Mori No Monogatari" (A Tale of Ululu’s Wonderful Forest) that will open on the 19th.
The story is about a baby wolf named Ululu that helps to tighten the bonds of the family that adopts him. This movie is going to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the HoriPro agency. Funakoshi about the movie: "The animal is cute of course, but also the family gives off a very nice feeling. Overall it’s quite a heart-warming movie." Fukada liked the animal as well. "It’s like a dream-come-true for me to work together with an animal. I’m really happy."
Yuuka (29), Ishihara Satomi (22) and other signed talentos also came to appreciate the 50th anniversary of their agency.
