J-Drama: Piece + Theme Song Lyrics

As-Salam! (To Muslim readers)
Hey guys! Ohisashiburi desu! It's terrific to meet you guys again! At the first place, I didn't know that I would get any readers at all, but guess what, I've got 2214 pageviews by the time I write this! Well, minus 20 pageviews because I've cheated a little bit earlier, but I still got around 2180 pageviews! Well, for an amateur blogger like me, it is an exciting news, you see...

     Okay! I don't want to waste any more time, so I'm going to proceed with what I'm going to write today.

     Today, I want to talk about my favourite J-Drama, Piece! Yayy!~ *Throwing confetti*

     First of all, I wanted to introduce the main casts. The hero and heroin are in the middle of the picture above, the heroin is Suga Mizuho (Honda Tsubasa) and the handsome hero is Narumi Hikaru (Nakayama Yuma)! 

     Oh! I forgot to warn; if you haven't watch this drama and hate spoilers, PLEASE SKIP THIS AND MOVE ON TO THE SONG LYRICS AT THE END OF THIS POST. Because this time I'm going to conclude everything that I remember about this drama TO THE ENDING OF IT. 

     Okay! Now let's move on!

     This drama is about Suga Mizuho, who is a college student, got a call from an old high school friend, telling her that a classmate of them from the high school had just died by a cancer. They attended the funeral and met almost all of their schoolmates there. Before the ceremony started, a classmate named Narumi Hikaru came and from there, one by one flashbacks came into Suga Mizuho's mind.

     Suga Mizuho and Narumi Hikaru were just classmates, and Suga's seat in class was behind of Narumi's seat. At first, Suga, a serious student, wasn't interested at all towards Narumi, who was the famous playboy student in school. To her, she hardly understand Narumi and has no idea at all what was Narumi thinking.

     But after he kissed Suga and she get to see the side of Narumi that nobody had seen before, they started to date in secret after the school time ends every Friday. I tell you, they were very sweeeettt!~ Suga came to Narumi's house, but they never do anything except hugging and kissing and sleeping. I think that it was the sweetest way of dates! You know, not always the sex relationship is the best way of dates...

     However, their relationship was suddenly over after Suga accidentally saw a video from Narumi's past, and he suddenly say that he doesn't need Suga anymore. And after they met again at school, Narumi treated her like nothing happened, and started to invite other girls besides her to his house.

     Back to the funeral, (which I started to get less interested) Suga suddenly informed by the mother of her dead classmate, Origuchi, that she got pregnant in school days and Suga started to investigate the mystery life of her dead schoolmate. At first, she was just trying to help Origuchi's mother to find out who's the boyfriend, but then she herself started to get interested in it.

     One by one then the truths revealed, including the hardcore secret admire of a pretty classmate, the closeness of a teacher's son with Origuchi, and also that a famous cool senior was actually a secret admirer of Origuchi.

     Meanwhile, Suga was also started to visit Narumi's house again. They spent every date like it was used to be. Suga came to Narumi's house to clean it, and they would spend the whole day with laughters and Narumi slept beside her.

     However, Narumi started to suddenly being missing, and Suga doesn't understand why. Together with some friends and her senior, they also uncovered the truth behind Narumi's playful life. They get to know Narumi's dark past, the existence of his parted elder brother, and how they were being treated as an experiment by their mother, who is a professor, since they were small.

     They also uncovered the facts that Narumi's elder brother, Narumi Hiro, was the one who had almost killed a bully, and also the one who had dated Origuchi. And with that, they solved the question that started their investigation; that Origuchi was actually not pregnant. Instead, she was actually helping a classmate who was pregnant, and that classmate was also a close friend of Suga. Narumi Hikaru came and he passed Origuchi's last letter to his brother.

     That means that Narumi Hikaru was actually the last person who met Origuchi before she died, and he wanted to fulfil her last wish. He also wanted his brother to move on.

     The end of the investigation! Hahaha.... Why am I laughing...

     At the end of the drama, Narumi's elder brother parted ways with them, and left. Yanai-senpai, their senior shook hands with Suga (which I can't remember why) and told her to talk to Narumi. Suga told Narumi that she still loves him and said that she would wait for him. She hugged him and they parted ways.

     Now, that's a lot of pictures. It's my first time to put that much of pictures. Hahaha... ;P Whatever. It's easier, anyway.

     I'm actually not a fan of love dramas, but this drama really makes me quite a girly. Narumi and Suga were so cute! This drama also made me started to be a fan of Honda Tsubasa-san who played Suga Mizuho, and made me fell in love for Nakayama Yuma, the one who played both Narumi Hikaru and Narumi Hiro.

     But it made me feel frustrated that they actually parted ways at the end, and I can't help myself from writing the continuous story of it, but I mixed it with Great Teacher Onizuka 2012 (where Honda Tsubasa played the role Kanzaki Urumi, the genius student of class 2-A). *sigh* I just can't help what I am...

     But sorry, I WON'T SHOW IT TO ANYBODY.


     Okay! Now I wanted to write the lyrics of the drama's theme songs, Missing Piece and Mizu no Kaeru Basho, both sang by Nakayama Yuma.

     At first, I liked Missing Piece, the opening song of this drama, because it was cool. But now I liked the insert song, Mizu no Kaeru Basho better because it was emotional. (I hardly like any emotional songs, so consider that this song is actually pretty lucky because I like it) It has an interesting melody and fast emotional tempo. And so, I will also put this song's translation. Because I like it. Okay. Let's start this already!

MISSING PIECE (Opening Song)
By: Nakayama Yuma

You're my missing piece?

Suki datte omoeta shunkan ni obieta
Love me, love me not, love me, love me not
Itsuwatte irareta kantan ni jibun mo
Love me, love me not, love me, love me not

Egao no mama kimi no namida ga
Ochiru made wa

Daremo ga ibitsu na piisu sa
Muriyari tsunagatte kowashite kizutsuite
Ima kokoro wa kawaki tsudzuketeru
Tadashii kotae nado iranai
Kimi ga ireba

Kanjou wa itsumo reisei no shihaika
Truth or lie, truth or lie
Kattou wa mujun wo mitomenai osana sa
Truth and lie, truth and lie

Kawaru koto wo osoreru boku wo
Kimi ga kaeta

Bokura wa yoku nita piisu sa
Hitori ja nani hitotsu mienai shimesenai
Kedo hodou ni machi no hi ga kaku
Hajimete tsunagaru kasukana
Futatsu no kage

You're my missing piece

Mada daremo ga ibitsu na piisu sa
Muriyari tsunagatte kowashite kizutsuite
Ima kokoro ga kawaki kiru mae ni
Daijina mono dake kono te de
Dakishimeru yo
Kimi no koto wo


MIZU NO KAERU BASHO (Insert Song)
By: Nakayama Yuma

Iro wa sunawachi kore, sora to natte kie yuku
Hito no itonami subete misukasu you ni

Fuan wa hito no kokoro tamesu tame no kousaten
Naze ni sono hougaku wo machigau no desho

Yukidoke mizu no you ni 
hajimaru monogatari
Chiisaku yowai kara 
iro ni somaru no ka na

C/o1:
Kanashimi wo dakishimeta hito wa dare?
Nikushimi to akushu shita hito wa dare?
Ochite yuku jibun ga itoshi sugite
Afuredasu iiwake ni oboreteru

Nee, sono kokoro ni tamatta kuroi mizu wo
Ima hakidashite itami wo tsuchi ni kaesou

Yurari kobune wa nagarete umi wo mezasu kedo
Kidzukeba mizu ga yodomu basho de nemutteta

Karada wa ugokazu
sora miageru dake
Tooki kawa wo yuku
kousha no funetachi

C/o2:
Kurushimi ni nigekonda hito wa dare?
Shitsubou no tobira wo aketa no wa dare?
Negai kanawanu to nakisakebu no wa
Kajou na kitai wo mi ni matou kara

So long... Sayonara wo aishita kuroi mizu ni
Genjtsu ga kowaku tomo kokoro wo kaze de araou

Repeat C/o1 and C/o2

Nee, sono kokoro ni tamatta kuroi mizu wo
Ima hakidashite itami wo tsuchi ni kaesou

Iro wa sunawachi kore sora to natte kie yuku...


(Translation)

The colours suddenly turn into void and disappear
As it seeing through people's lives

Insecurity is the crossroad to test people's hearts
Why ever would their way be wrong?

Like water thawing snow,
the beginning story
Small and weak as it is,
will it stain the colours?

C/o1:
Who is the person who embraced sorrow?
Who is the person who shook hands with hatred?
Their falling selves are too lovely
They are drowning in overflowing excuses

Hey, the black water these hearts have gathered
Now spit it out, and send back the pain to the earth

The swinging boat flows, aiming for the sea
But it's too late, they have been sleeping at the stagnated water

Their bodies cannot move,
and they can only look at the sky
As their boats
go to the distant river

C/o2:
Who is the person who ran away from suffering?
Who opened the door of despair?
They are crying and screaming for unfulfilled wishes
Because they are clad with too much hope

So long... Say goodbye to the beloved black water
Let the wind cleanse the heart, scared of reality

Repeat C/o1 and C/o2

Hey, the black water those hearts have gathered
Now spit it out, and send back the pain to the earth

The colours suddenly turned into void and disappear...

     Okay, guys! That's a wrap for today/tonight. It's 3;30 in the morning now, and I need to sleep. Or else I would get very sleepy in the sunshine... I put an omiage for you guys (the image above). If you haven't watch this drama yet, he was saying "Oyasumi. *chu*" in that animated picture.

     Like Narumi says, oyasumi! Oops, I should say "oyahayou", isn't it? (Oyasumi+Ohayou= Oyahayou) Since it's midnight and almost morning here... Sore jaa, oyahayou, minna! C'ya again later!

*Creepy sounds started to be heard, so I need to get to sleep ASAP.
**The pictures and images above are all credited to the real owners, guys, I'm just sharing them.

Malaysian Entertainment: Classic VS Nowadays

I've quit KYPJ last month. I decided to enroll in Kolej Poly-Tech MARA (KPTM) in Kota Bharu instead. Well, maybe it's because of I like the course they offered better than KYPJ's; Diploma in Tourism. It might be more distant than KYPJ to my home, but... Oh well. This is the time to get more experiences, isn't it?

Okay! If you had already read the title, you must have known what I want to write today. MALAYSIAN ENTERTAINMENT: CLASSIC VS NOWADAYS.

If you had read my previous posts, you can guess how much I am into Japanese entertainments and Western/European. Because I'm not really into local entertainments which we called as "Buatan Malaysia (Made in Malaysia)" There are lots of reasons why I'm not interested in them.

However, I really love our classical movies, like around passed P. Ramlee's days. No matter how many times they were being showed on TV, I will never get bored with them. How much our passed P. Ramlee was genius in making movies...

Classic movies... They were full of secret and good messages. I can take a lot from classical movies as advices to let me continue my daily life.

Such as... Let's see...

Labu Labi! Yes, yes... One of my favorites of all time. This movie was really funny and I enjoy it no matter how many times I've been watching it.

Somehow it taught me on how we must stop dreaming once in a while. Dreaming is good, but don't let it ruin yourselves. That's what I thought when I watch this. Other than that, don't let love crushes your friendship. That's what I see, when Labu is willingly to steal his best friend Labi's bride, Manisah just because they were both in love with her since they started work at Hj. Bakhil's house.

Besides, I know that this movie is trying to say how we cannot be greedy, as it put that greed personality into  Labu and Labi's master; Hj. Bakhil. Anybody, whoever that watched this movie, and saw Hj. Bakhil, would say "Oh, we cannot be as greedy as Hj. Bakhil." That fact might sounds a little bit childish, but that's the truth.


Classical songs. I can't say the titles of the songs particularly, because I listened to them randomly on radio. So, I don't know the titles, but listened to them until the end. Because I can't help myself. I have to know what does it tries to convey.

Lots of classical songs give a lot of good messages. That's why there were songs in the movies. Lots of messages can be compacted into one song; directly or indirectly. There was a song which was coincidentally being played on the radio a few months ago. I listened to it, and it was about how our local women wore at the time. It tries to convey that our local women shouldn't do what Western people do, such as pull our eyebrows to trim it, wear tight outfits or wearing wigs.

Even though that song didn't say anything such as "Do something about it" directly, but it did say "What happened?" which means that we should do something about it.

And there were also a lot of other good messages in classical songs. That's why I love them very much.

And look at what happened to nowadays' Malaysian entertainments! They changed, but not all of them are good!

Have you ever watched Kapoww? Yes, yes... The Zizan Razak's one.

Okay, I need to get this Kapoww thing fast. I really hate this movie.

I think Kapoww is a very stupid movie. Um, hello, superheroes? Nowadays? Are you kidding me? Even though I don't watch Kamen Rider, but I think Kamen Rider is better. I'm not "not into" comedies, but if you're trying to make the whole movie into comedies, your movie is over. And the movie shouldn't be stupid comedies. This is not Indonesia, where they enjoy ridiculous comedies (no offense)!

Unless you're making high quality superheroes movies like Spiderman, Batman, etc...

And another thing that I hate about Kapoww is; look at those Astromans! Urghh!!! I don't even want to say that name out loud!

They look stupid. They're just a bunch of super-losers wearing Ultraman costumes! Even Atoi too! This movie was really making me sick! I just... Even though I only watch Ultramans in my childhood days, but still, wearing their costumes??? Isn't that just cosplaying in front of the camera??? Are you stupid??? Lack of idea, I guess...

However, there are also some movies that I really interested into. Umm... Zombi Kampung Pisang, I guess? That and Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah. Yeah, I like them. Even though they put comedies in the whole movie, but I don't think that they were stupid. They were spontaneously, and I love them. Like my dad says, "Nostalgic and classic".

They were village-themed, and very classic. I think that those kind of movies are geniuses, like I used to call to Mukhsin movie. Very classic, and bringing happiness when they made us think, "Ahh~ The good old days~". Isn't that fascinating?

Nowadays songs... Okay, I'm really done with local songs. 80 percents of Malaysian songs are love, heartbreak-themed, and sad songs. I tell you, I'm not interested in love songs. I'm not the kind of person who's calling a guy as "Sayang (Love)", even though he's my boyfriend. I only call that to my pet cat Toni.

And anyway, nowadays' Malaysian songs are resembled foreign songs. There are certain artists who are making their songs and MV to look like K-Pop's! I mean, stop copying! You are artists, isn't it create is what you do??? And also, there are some singers who modernized the classic songs, and I really hate them. Some people might thought that the modernized songs are good, but in my thought, they were really ruining the songs! (But maybe it's because I really hate hard rock, so that's why)

There are also songs that really gave that low self-esteemed thinking into those who sang it. Huh~ I really hate these kind of songs. I mean, if you're really that sad, can't you make a song which can motivate yourselves? If you're not the one who will motivate yourselves, then who else?

People sing, to entertain themselves whenever they feel bad. When they fell, they will do something. People like me will sing to motivate ourselves. But if the famous songs are low self-esteemed songs, how are we supposed to rise up again? Yeah, prayers. But what we say from our mouths are counted as prayers to, isn't it?

I'm not trying to badmouth my own country. That is not my intention. Actually, I'm very worried about my country's entertainments level. I'm not someone who has a high power in this entertainment world.

I'm not even an actress, a singer or whatever. I'm just an ordinary girl who is a fan of Arashi, and lots of other Japanese singers, who love to sing American/British/Japanese songs and love to watch Japanese dramas everyday online. I'm just a girl who love to write and draw, and learning new skills. That's all.

Well, I'm done. That is all I can do. I just hope that Malaysian entertainments could improve and... Well, what can I say? I actually love my own country.

K-POP VS J-POP

Starting today I won't apologize for being so long to not updating my blog. So, today's apologize will include the lateness in the future. Sumimasen~!

     Okay! Now let's go to our main topic today. K-POP VS J-POP. I've been thinking a lot about it lately. Now here, my dear fella's, I want to ask you something. Between these K-Celebrity and J-Celebrity, which one will you choose, and why?

Kim Hyun-joong (K-POP)  VS Yamashita Tomohisa (J-POP)

And between these K-Band and J-Band, which one will you choose, and why?

Big Bang (K-POP) VS Arashi (J-POP)

If you want my answer, then here it is; YamaPi and Arashi. I think that the answer is already crystal clear. YamaPi is my big crush and I am a big fan of Arashi. I even personally called Arashi's Matsumoto Jun as "Jun-nii", you know? (Nii is a call for older brother)

But that is my opinion. That is my taste.

However, that is not the main point of my post today. I bet that most K-Fans and J-Fans had met these kind of comparisons so many times before. So do I. Recently, actually. And I bet some of you 'goody-goody' fans are quite annoyed with these kind of comparisons. Me too.

In my opinion, those people who made "K-POP VS J-POP" videos are either K-Fans or J-Fans. If the K-Celebrity comes out first, then they're the K-Fans. And vice versa. I somehow understood the reasons behind the creation of these comparison videos. Either they want to show how much they underestimate J-Celebs (for K-Fans) or they want to see a war between K-Fans and J-Fans. Or they just want to show their  "I don't understand why you like them" kind of feelings.

Can't you see? People got their own kind of taste. There must be a reason of why they admire them so much. Like me, I got my own reasons of why I love YamaPi and Arashi.

I love Arashi. I really do. Very much. But I didn't judge them only by appearance and looks. I judged them by every aspects. Appearance, performance, chemistry, personalities, passion and talents. To be honest, Arashi got so many talents in their group! But I will probably explain them later.

However, I am absolutely not an anti-K-POP. There is also a reason why I chose Kim Hyun-joong and Big Bang in my comparison. You see, there was a year when I was also a K-Fan. In that year, Kim Hyun-joong was my crush (but not as BIG crush as YamaPi). And actually, 2 years ago, I was a fan of Big Bang, and my favorite member was Dae-sung. See? That's why I understood both sides.

That's why, I am quite pissed-off with some of the comments I read on "K-POP VS J-POP" videos on YouTube. 

Dear fella's, everybody got their own tastes and favorites. Please DO NOT say such thing as "K-POP are dirty - plastic surgeries" or "J-POP are uglies". Like, hello, to those who said "J-POP are uglies", most K-Celebs are plastics, okay?! 

See??? As a J-Fan, I am also VERY, SERIOUSLY pissed with that kind of comments. So what was actually your point of giving such comments??? To create a war??? For most of you, probably you would say "So what?" or "Like I care" or something like that, but understand this; what is your feeling when other people saying bad about your favorite celebs? Irritated, right? Annoyed, right? Pissed, right???

Fuhh~ Please excuse me for my rudeness...

So, dear fella's, please keep any bad-thinking about the celebs in your heart. If you're trying to say anything, just think "what if they said the same kind of thing about my idol?" Unless you say it in more proper way such as "IN MY OPINION, I dislikes K-POP because most of them had plastic surgeries" or "K-POP actors are more handsome than J-POP". See? That's not so bad after all, isn't it?

I am actually not that 'goody-goody', but I hate fighting. Especially if it's about something that actually a childish matter. If you don't understand why they admire that certain celebrities, don't hurt them with your badmouth. Instead, why don't you try collecting fun facts about your favorite celebrities and capture their heart? That is actually more fun, isn't it?

Okay! Now I'm already sleepy, and it is 2:44 AM already, I think I'm going to stop now. I actually wanted to finish Matsuda Shota's Meitantei no Okite episode 5, but with sleepy eyes, I don't think I can do it. I have a gift for you, so I'm going to put it down there. With this, good night, everyone! Oyasumi nasai~
