Although I am still very very very disappointed with it, I wanna watch Yankumi! =( And imagine Odagiri as Shin.
For my own record

I think sensei's drawing really improved alot. Shin, who has been looking better and better as the manga progressed, looks so hot in here. With the 'promise' to focus on the shinkumi relationship in the two extras, I'm really looking forward to the two issues! I've missed the past issue which illustrated their first kiss, but no way am I missing this!
omg you cannot imagine how happy I was when I read the title to this news post
Gokusen Manga to Return in 2 Installments Next Month, Tuesday June 16, 2009 Japan
Kozueko Morimoto revisits manga to mark July movie finale of high school comedy
This year's 13th issue of Shueisha's You magazine has announced on Monday that Kozueko Morimoto's Gokusen high school comedy manga will return in the next two issues, which will ship on July 1 and 15. Morimoto had ended the manga in 2007 after seven years, but she is revisiting the story to mark the July 11 opening of Gokusen the Movie. The movie will serve as the theatrical finale to the three live-action television drama series based on the manga. The upcoming two-part manga side story will center on Kumiko "Yankumi" Yamaguchi — the high school teacher with yakuza ties — and her student Shin Sawada.
Media Blasters released the television animated version of the Gokusen manga in North America from 2004 to 2005. Morimoto has been serializing a new detective manga called Deka Wanko in You magazine since last year.
OMG I'm soooo excited, especially after reading that the two installments will focus on shinkumi. Well well, is our sensei here helping to compensate us shinkumi fans for a lack of that in the movie??? OMG. In the special published outside the books, shin was seen kissing yankumi, or rather, her him. I would so love to see the development from there, the foolish yankumi vs the witty shin! And I know my hopes are too high, but I sorely hoped sensei would continue beyond 2 installments, for after the movie, there seems to be little milestones for her to write about them again.
From here.
With "Gokusen: The Movie" less than a couple months away, a new announcement has revealed that six more actors from the drama's earlier seasons will be returning, including Shun Oguri and Mocomichi Hayami.
The movie is already known to focus on the cast of the show's third season, which aired in 2008. It was previously announced that Yuya Takaki, Haruma Miura, and Yuta Tamamori are part of the main cast. At the end of last month, it was also revealed that the second season's Kazuya Kamenashi was added to the cast.
Now, the number of returning alumni has again increased, adding three students each from the drama's first two seasons. Oguri will represent the first season, along with Yuma Ishigaki and Hiroki Narimiya. From the second season, Hayami will be joined by Teppei Koike and Keisuke Koide.
Although all six played delinquent students in their respective seasons, they have grown up to become respectable members of society. Together with Kamenashi's character, who has become a teacher in training, these graduates will lend their support to the beloved teacher "Yankumi," played by starring actress Yukie Nakama. This movie is said to be Nakama's last time to take on this role.
Filming for the movie finished on May 13. The picture opens in theaters on July 11.
Oguri and Hiroki Narimiya! Mocomich and Teppei and Keisuke! I can die die die! So happy! But it's odd to have Kame back as teacher in training...this is a role I would expect to be for Jun...no offense, but really...he has what it takes to be a teacher. Brains to teach and to deal with delinquents and the heart to do so. Plus, he's like the main guy from the whole gokusen story! Why isn't he back??? I'm so disappointed! Well, at least they brought back a few of the oldies. XP
Omg, I just watched the trailer over at Tenjostyle's side. It looks good! Would have been perfect if it was Shin back as teacher in training...lol they even brought back the police officer from season 1...why not shin?? =( Or maybe the police can at least bring an explanation as to how they 'resolved' the love rectangle back then....and why does Kame look so awkward in front of the class? Maybe he's reminscing about his past as a student like those in front of him?
I feel kind of sad with gokusen officially ending...this was the drama that really affected me and got me thinking, "ah..teachers should be like that. I shouldn't be spending my junior college life like this...I should change a bit..."
OH MY GOSH.
=) After working hard at something (more about it later), I decided to check my results for the last Special Term. Results were available online from 12 midnight but I was busy with something so I checked it just now, while waiting for pictures to be uploaded.
For Korean Level 1 (which was darn easy since Korean had vocab that sounded a lot like Mandarin and grammar similar to Japanese), I scored A+!!!!!! So, is that a hint that I should just forget about taking Jap next semester and just continue with Korean Level 2 instead? Honestly speaking, that sounds like a very good idea to me. I've totally got no morale for studying Japanese now.
Now then, what was I busy with?
Photoshop!
It has been a long while since I last worked on photoshop for so long! I spent like half a day on photoshop although I had told myself to study Japanese. crap.
The result: a vector, very tired eyes, no progress in my revision
I started from this:
And ended up with this:
Because it took me very long to finish this, it's n-locked and scaled into smaller dimensions. I think it looks nicer bigger, so click on it for a slightly bigger view! DO NOT REPOST WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, even if you give credit.
- I really love Shin's hair, in the manga, anime as well as the live-action. However, while doing this vector, I hated his hair. It was the part which took most of my time as I had to lasso his hair strand by strand., while leaving space to outline his hair in black. O.o My eyes started seeing dots (since the original scan had his hair filled with dots).
- Shin's hair colour here follows the manga/anime.
- I managed to sneak in a bit of Jun-Shin. XP The purple sweatshirt!! Jun's colour!
- Is the pinkish tint on Yankumi's cheek because of her injuries or is it because of the kiss? What do you think?
- Is this good enough proof that I love love LOVE shinkumi and gokusen?
- Is this good enough proof that I hate hate HATE to revise for the placement test?
=) I've finally read the 2008 SP...and well, the highlight of the SP is this kiss. I've always enjoyed reading about shinkumi goodness, rated or otherwise, via fanfics. However, I didn't enjoy this kiss as much as I had expected to. In fact, I was kind of freaked out! Maybe it's because the kiss was too..tender.
I'd prefer it to start off as a humourous thing, with Shin suddenly turning serious and then Yankumi freaking out. The he kisses her. Caught off-guard and embarrassed, Yankumi ends the scene by saying/doing/saying and doing something dense. That's my perfect kiss scene for them. This one seemed...too out of character for Yankumi.
WHATEVER! SHINKUMI KISS!!!!!!! At least the mangaka understands our needs. XP
Oh, I was still pondering if I should watch Zettai Kareshi, after all the posts from Jen...and then I stumbled upon this post with really awesome caps of ep 1...So I've decided to watch it, just for Mokomichi's sake! Jen said that the ending sucks..so...I'll be mentally prepared.
Ok, I've gotta sleep already. Have to go shopping for STUPID non-black skirt suit tomorrow and study two days' worth of Jap. cya around, people!
I got sick of Korean so here I am, posting about my favourite song of the moment. I haven't even watched G3 yet! It gives me the very jumpy feeling. The lyric is beautiful and the whole song suits the whole Gokusen theme, just as V6's Feel Your Breeze and D51's No More Cries did.
I did a rough translation. It sounds weird but..nvm. I need to sleep already....
It’s all right, if you look up
It's all right; look! The seven-coloured bridge
At last we laugh under the same sky
It’s time to fasten the shoelace
The wind pushes at our back
The sky spilled beyond the light
Let’s continue to sketch that dream
The left side of my chest beats fast
Hope and anxiety strike the pulse
I hope that it’s really all right
I wonder if we can overcome everything
It’s all right, if you look up
It's all right; look! The seven-coloured bridge
Tears fall and hang in the sky
Hey, it can be seen right? At that distant place
It appeared to me too, the one same as you
The two skies now have become one
At last we laugh under the same sky
Separately we’re waiting our sky to be born
The sky that reflects our memory
For you there’s your own story
I have tears you don't know about
Maybe, by some chance, during the time when I laugh
You might have been crying
Similar joys exist. However
Definitely there is no similar sadness
"Promise" borders the future
Words decorate
You certainly want tomorrow [to come]
More than anyone, for sure
The moving seasons' one
The sad moments stay sad
Don't rush into becoming happy
It’s all right, because [I] exist here
It’s all right, [I] won't go anywhere
When I start running again, it will be with you
“In a world without tears,
Will the seven-coloured bridge also be hanging?”
The graffiti carved on the wall
Really resembled someone's handwriting
When the grief is kept away
You built the bridge
However, now as you throw away the umbrella, you ignore it
It’s all right
It’s all right, if you look up
All right; look! The seven-coloured bridge
The tears has stopped falling, in your sky
Hey, it can be seen right? From the brilliant colors
It appeared to me too, the one same as you
The rainbow called "Bond" has been hung
And then, the two skies finally, finally become one
And makes us start to move on
Kanji lyric from gillie
大丈夫だよ 見上げれば もう
大丈夫ほら 七色の橋
やっと同じ空の下で 笑えるね
靴ひもを結びなおすとき 風が僕らの背中を押す
空がこぼした光の向こうに あのユメの続きを描こう
左胸の奥が高鳴る 期待と不安が脈をうつ
本当に大丈夫かな 全て乗り越えてゆけるかな
大丈夫だよ 見上げれば もう
大丈夫ほら 七色の橋
涙を流しきると空に架かる
ねぇ見えるでしょ はるか彼方に
僕にも見える 君と同じの
二つの空が いま一つになる
やっと同じ空の下で 笑えるね
別々の空をもって生まれた 記憶を映し出す空
君には君の物語があり 僕の知らない涙がある
もしかしたら僕が笑う頃に 君は泣いていたのかもしれない
似たような喜びはあるけれど 同じ悲しみはきっとない
「約束」 で未来を縁取り コトバで飾りつけをする
君は確かな明日をきっと 誰より欲しがってた
巡る季節の 一つのように
悲しい時は 悲しいままに
幸せになることを 急がないで
大丈夫だよ ここにいるから
大丈夫だよ どこにも行かない
また走り出すときは 君といっしょ
「涙の無い世界にもその橋は架かりますか？」
壁に刻まれたラクガキは 誰かの字によく似てた
悲しみと遠ざけることで 君は橋を架けようとした
けれど今 傘を捨てて 目をつぶる
だいじょうぶ
大丈夫だよ 見上げればもう
大丈夫ほら 七色の橋
涙を流し終えた 君の空に
ねぇ見えるでしょ 色鮮やかに
僕にも見える 君と同じの
「絆」 という名の虹が架かったね
そして 二つの空がやっと やっと一つになって
僕らを走らせるんだ

♥ I got Sawada Shin from Gokusen for【Christmas!】♥ ♥
That's enough to give myself a boost, I hope. I'll try my best! I can't give up and sink into despair now. I still have 5 sems to go! GANBARE!!
我要做只蟑螂・因爲它打不死
I read from Jen's vox about Gokusen 3.
Without Shin.
Damn.
Maybe with some HSJ people. Demo, Yamada wouldn't be able to act as a High Sch student deshou?
I can't even find a (superficial) reason to watch.
Well, will have to wait for the cast to be confirmed first before I decide whether to give it a miss.
Since it doesn't have Shin, it had better have a good plot. (I would have played doube standards and accepted another similiar plot if they brought Shin back LOL)
[EDIT] I may still watch it, but with less zest, because I do miss Yankumi. I miss Shinkumi most, followed by Shin and then Yankumi. XP I missed Sawatari kyoutou too! His hair and expression, and his hidden concern for Yankumi. <3 Oh well, at least they're brining him and the Oedo clan back....
It has been such a looooooong while since I last posted artworks. =.=
Aniwaes, I chanced upon a LIMS community and decided to join the next round for fun. So I started surfing around to expand my collection of brushes/textures. I had to try them out because they looked so pretty. And the result - 4 avatars. I'm too lazy to do more (Wanna go watch Tantei Gakuen Q 探偵学園Q already!!!!!) gomen. The credits are as follows:
textures [meleada & ewanism]
avatar 1 artwork [Merukuriusu @ DA]
avatar 2 artwork [AnyValt @ DA]
avatar 3 picture [google]
avatar 4 screencap [cap_it]
Comments are love. Credit karened.vox.com when used!
OMG choooooh kawaii ne??
It's Ryuu and Hayato!!!!!
So sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Sighz...why didn't they get together???
Not in the anime, not in the manga, not in the dorama!!!!!
The BIGGEST regret of the year!! *gets urber emotional*
The classic picture that appears everytime in avatars.
This is my touch to it.
Shin is love man...
He needs some love ne.
More when I have nothing better to do am free/feel creative.
====================
pssst I finally got to know another Jr other than Chinen. Yamada Tarou Ryuusuke because of 探偵学園Q. I could tell that he's a Johnny within 3 mins. XD They have this look and aura ne?
Don't mind the title ne! XD
Went out with my arashi family on Saturday. Here are the pictures:
Us outside Cineleisure at Orchard. I had wanted to take photos of the KimuTaku poster but was too paiseh because there were so many people over there! So after much pleading, my three mates agreed to 'pose for a picture'. XDD
From left: Jolie 姉ちゃん aka 二宮さん, 姫天使ちゃん aka 相葉さん, Yen aka 櫻井さん (?????)
Nah. Sho shall remain as mine. XP
Aniwaes, LOOK man LOOK! How big is that poster?!?!?! Ok not really that big, because I've seen much bigger ones of Arashi, KATTUN, SMAP etc in Japan, and I've heard from this dj on mtv channel that when he went to Japan previously, he could see a huge poster of Jun in Bambino hanging on the building opposite when he looks out of the window. The poster was said to be at least 4/5 storeys high!!! *faints*
But then, to have a jap endorse something in Singapore is something BIG ne.
But I finally threw away all my fears when we left the building after spending a few hours inside (see below for more details). XDDD omg lah look at this! Since when have you seen advertising of this scale in Singapore featuring a Jap artiste?? Oh well, I can't complain, since the majority of Singaporeans seems to be stll stuck in the early millenium that Kimura is the hottest Jap artiste. I agree that he is hot (Wait for me to dig out this urber hot photoshoot of him in Singapore's UWeekly and post it here!) but there are also other mentionable artistes! (You know who I'm refering to ne)
So I was like, "WAH He is hot!"
Angeline remarked, "Go tear it down later and bring it home!"
Me, "Nonono..later the police come catch me! I'll wait till Arashi's famous enough to be on commercials in Singapore, then take the risk to steal their posters!"
Ok as mentioned above, I spent a couple of hours in Cine with my arashi family, at this shop called Mise x*clusive, more commonly called "The JE Shop". Our usual hangout. XD The owner can even remember us already! Aniwaes, I saw this back issue of POPOLO 2002/3 and had wanted to buy it, but then just as I took it off the shelves, Yen took it from me and the rest was history. *cries a litre of tears* While we were in the shop, the tv inside was playing HIG con! And the first thing we saw was Sho's solo "Touch Me Now". I was never s fan of the song nor the performance, because it was too sensual for my liking then. But then, OMG I don't know what's wrong with me man! I suddenly felt that Sho was darn hot when he does that action - lifting the bottom of his tee slightly using his index fingers and then bringing his finger to his lips, all in one smooth action. O.O And that got me to dig out this unofficial photo of him, which I had bought out of impulse 1/2 weeks ago:
Don't you agree?? Sho is hot! XD My camera does him no justice. (I need to get a scanner man!) But like what Tery (大野さん) said, he was behaving a little like a man-whore in the performance. It was a little, but I just like that finger movement omg! Peek-a-boo!
Oh aniwaes, here's one more photo, since I'm at it. Nino's cheeky expression. Specially dedicated to my dear Jolie 姉ちゃん!
Jolie bought a lot of things from mise, and one of what was this ring file which had been there for very long! After seeing what was inside, I was regreting not buying!! I had thought that it was just a file with the guy's photos on the cover. But NO! There were dividers inside, and on the dividers were individual photos! This was what made me regret:
SAWADA SHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T.T Aniwaes, I took a photo of it (the above image) and made an avatar out of it. Please credit back if taken and used ne. sawada shinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn <3 I prefer my jun jun as kawaii kun, DoS kun, and not cam-whore kun. T.T I can't bear to watch AAA! (But I will, later, maybe..after SCP on tv wuahahahah love cable tv man!)
And I finally bought the Gokusen Official Guidebook...20% at kino ne~~~~
By the way, I've decided to make full use of this vox and post some stuff here as well, other than just graphics, hence this post. XD I don't think I should expose my 'normal' friends to any Arashi related fangirl rants anymore (which they've gotten so used to already, they just skip it. XP)
Instead of going to Tery's place for Arashi dvd marathon yesterday, I went to MOS with my pals. >_< It was my second try at clubbing, and as expected, I hate it. ARGH. The only thing which I felt was better this time was that the place was much bigger than DXO, and so the smoke wasn't as concentrated. Hence, I didn't smell that bad at the end of the day. Please note that the following is my personal opinion and preferance, so please don't come flame me for it.
I don't get why people club.
"To see and to be seen," someone told me.
"To destress! It's dark so people can't really see. You can dance anyway you want to!"
Point 2 contradicts point 1.
Point 2 is crap.
Yeah, it's dark, so no one can really see you properly and so even if you can't dance so nuts, you won't feel so embarrassed/stupid.
But dance?! Dance my ass. So far, the two clubs I've been to, DOX on Friday night (ladies' night) and MOS on Saturday night, were so crowded, you can barely dance. MOS was big, and as long as you escape from the main arena, where RnB was playing, it's not that bad. But if you're in the RnB area, you can just die walking through it. It's so crowded. Dance what!??? Plus, basically, more than half the people are just repeating the same moves over and over again, to different songs, and they do it fopr like..3, 4 hours straight. And at least half are just swaying. Dance? Hah.
I overheard someone saying, "It's so boring, why do you pay so much to come in and get squeezed around? You can't barely stand properly, how to dance?"
I agree, and wish to add: You pay so much, go in and get pushed around, get all hot and sweaty (in DOX), get stepped on and come out reeking of cigarette smoke like you're a cigarette butt itself. And I haven't gone on to the effects of secondhand smoke. Not that I'm against smoking/smokers. I have friends who smoke (I just found out about one yesterday), and I still love them. So long as they don't willfully expose me to secondhand smoke. XD I can wait for them to get their トバッコ or anything. But I have, since young, been very sensitive to strong smells..smoke, coffee scents, perfume scents..anything strong. It's something built into me by God.
So yes, it boils down to the crowd. Maybe it's because there are too little good clubs in Singapore, so everyone seems to go to the same few ones, making them really crowded. I wouldn't mind the crowds that much, if I can spot hot guys who can dance (By can dance I mean Ohno standards and by hot I mean Sho XD) or if they played good songs. The music is totally NOT my type. If only they played Jap!!! T.T I asked if we can go to St James Power Station instead, because I've read that they have mando music rooms as well, but then, I was told that "the crowd there is older.." You get what I mean. A few of my pals are ageist. Oh well..
Aniwaes, I do think that I'm getting to mad for my own good. I had a guy friend with us yesterday, and for that one moment, I had this totally irrational thought tin my mind. "Ahh..what if he was sho/jun? Then I'll want to hook his arms (Because my other pals were hooking arms and I was kinda 'free')" It's scary..this thought...
But then again, why would Sho be there? The last time I went to DXO, I kept looking at the second storey while swaying to the music at the dance floor below. I had the Yes?No? music playing in my head and the ONE performance of this song was flashing before my eyes. And then I thought, "If Sho was here, he'll never be down here dancing. He'll be up there, sitting silently and sipping his glass of alcohol." XD It was something like this yesterday. We reached MOS early and it was pretty empty. Fresh air, cooling aircon..that was how I'd like the club to be when I dance. And so, I smsed Angeline to fangirl a little.
"Next time when Sho/Jun wants to ask me out to club, it'll be very tough on their pockets, because they'll have to book the entire club for me!"
LOL randomness.
Aniwaes, go to Angeline's vox to have a look at Aiba chan's new perm ne. It's good, better than expected! Bot too overdone. Now I'm waiting for news of his new project to be released, hopefully!!
