誕生日おめでとう、ヒロくん!!!*

I totally forgot that 2 weeks ago is Hiro's birthday. What kind of fans I am? Haha.

Actually recently I don't remember dates. You know, if you still a high school student, I'm sure you always remember the dates and days, since everyday you must be wrote something. When I was a college student, most of the time I only remember the days, not the date. When I was an employee, I almost always forgot both, except Friday, because I can't wait for the weekend! But since now I am temporarily unemployed, I can't differ weekday and weekend, so no need to ask whether I can remember the dates or not.

I guess I totally skipped the 13th day of this month. Actually, every month my boyfriend and I always celebrate the 13th every month because it is our anniversary, at least we always remember the date and say 'happy anniversary' to each other, even if we can't be together at that moment. But I guess this April 13th just missing from our calendar and we both totally forget XP. We just remembered in the following days (but I still didn't realize that it was also Hiro's birthday). 

I realized just now. Maybe back then my mind full of ideas for the birthday present that I should give to my boyfriend in the 23th so I couldn't think about other things :D

Hmmm....it feels a bit funny that both of my favorite guys born in the same month. 

Well,  I should say that I hope all the best for Hiro (I already did my prays for my bf, don't worry), I hope we still can watch your movies in the following months, I hope someday the world will recognize you as a great actor, not only a good looking Japanese actor ♥. By the way, now you have the same age as me...yippeee! Haha. Now enjoy the cake :)

Basic Japanese (1)

Since I addicted to Hiro, I have watched many of his drama recently. So while watching, I also learn about some Japanese conversations. Actually, If I want, I can learn Japanese since I was very young. My mother is a Japanese teacher and there's a LOT of Japanese books and cassettes for me to learn from. But as usual, I just motivated when began to learn and then lost my mood to continue learning. In high school, I took Japanese extra curriculum as well. And it only last about few months. Since the facility of language lab in my school isn't too complete, many students are lazy to keep learning. Including me. Haha. I really get bored easily. 

Now since I have watched many of Hiro's drama, I feel like I wanna learn Japanese again. I don't expect too much, cause I know to be fluent in Japanese especially learning Kanji is so damn difficult. So my target is only basic conversations and be able to write in Hiragana and Katakana. Here are some sentences that I learned from Hiro's drama: 

1. Moshi moshi : Hello (phone converstation).

2. Okaeri : Welcome home.

3. Wakata/Wakarimashita (read: wakarimasta) : I understand.

4.Itadakimasu (read: itadakimas) : Thanks for the food.

5.Kareshi : Boyfriend.

6.Sou ka : I see/I understand.

7.Nan desu ka (read: nan des ka?): What is it?

8.Nani? : What?

9.Baka! : Idiot!

10.Gomen/Gomenasai : I'm sorry. 

I also learn about how to call different persons:

1. [Name]-san --> to call someone who is older than you or someone who has a higher position than you. Basically, it is the polite way to call someone.

2. [Name]-sama --> it is more polite than '-san', one example was how Hiro in Mei-chan no Shitsuji always call Mei-sama to her, since he is her butler.

3.[Name]-kun --> to call a boy/a guy, but I don't think you can call it to someone who much older than you.

4. [Name]-chan --> as far as I know, we use it to call kids, but my friend who ever lived in Japan said that you can call someone with '-chan' if she is cute. Ha.

5. [First Name] --> you can call by their first name to someone whom you already close with.

6. [Last Name] --> usually it is used in the office, or if you aren't close with them.

To your family, you call them with Oka-san (Mother), Otou-san (Father), Aniki (Big brother), Aneki/Onee-san (Big sister). For younger brother/sisters and the rest families, I haven't learned it yet :p 

That's enough for today. Do not hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong :)

Where You Can Find Mizushima Hiro? (Part 2)

Hi all....this is the sequel of Where You Can Find Mizushima Hiro, you can read the first part in here. So, let's continue!

5. Kamen Rider Kabuto as Tendou Souji
I just started to watch this drama today, so I have nothing to write about it yet. But one thing for sure, not only teenage girls or twenty-something women like me who idolize him, but the kids surely love him as a hero :D
I will update the review once I finish watching its 21 episodes. Aaaah...I wonder when it will be??

Update: I was wrong. The total episodes are 49 episodes! Does other Hiro fans try to watch all of them??? Blup blup blup....

6. Kanojo to no Tadashii Asobikata as Fujiki Kyouji

Wanna see Hiro being dominated by a childhood friend? Then you wanna watch this short drama. The story is about a secret game between Yuna and Fujiki who befriends since  they were a kid. Yuna is a princess and Fujiki is her servant. They promised to keep on playing it until someone knows about it.
Yuna described as a selfish teenage girl, who really demanding to Fujiki. In the opposite, Fujiki described as a very quite person, a demotivated teenage boy but he always obeys her rules. Really a princess-servant relationship in general.
Hiro's appearance is quite neat in here, his role this time is much more represents Japanese high-school students in real life, rather than his role as high-school students in other drama. Compare it with Nanba senpai in Hana Kimi, you surely know what I mean.
On this drama he looks so handsome--as usual, but he didn't talk much, and he didn't express much emotions either. I think the character is not that fit to Hiro. I can't think any figure like Hiro can be dominated by a girl like that. The conclusion that came up after I finished watching, I don't like this drama at all.

7. Watashitachi no Kyokasho as Yahata Daisuke

It is good to observe how does Hiro play different characters. But not only that, I am so glad to know he can play his characters so well in different genres. Romantic drama...check. Family drama...check. Action drama...check. Cops drama...check. Comedy drama...check. Now it is time for a legal-mystery drama.

This one is a serious drama. For those who watch drama just for fun, better not to watch it, cause you will be sleepy before the movie ends. The story is about bullying cases in  an elementary school (or junior high?--I am not so sure) . The genre itself is quite different from other genres that I ever watched. Moreover, the story about bullying is still rare to find in J-dramas.

Hiro in this drama is so weird! He played as a Math teacher. I have only watched it until episode 4, I stop watching due to technical error. Sigh. So far, I can tell that this Yahata Daisuke is very suspicious person. His appearance is quite good-looking, although I didn't expect him to be that mysterious. I think he played as an antagonist, and somehow Hiro's character in here reminds me of Johnny Depp in "Secret Window", one of very few, my favorite thriller movie.

8. Hanazakari no Kimitachi e as Nanba Minami
Like thousands of J-drama fans...I really love this drama! The story is quite good, many gorgeous actors, each role have a strong character appear, and the best thing about this drama was how it made the viewers laugh!
As I mentioned before, I started to adore Hiro since I watch Hana Kimi. Making me laugh is always become one of my criteria to adore someone. So Nanba senpai as the second funniest character in Hana Kimi absolutely made me melted. (I think we all agree the most funniest character in Hana Kimi is Nakatsu, played by Ikuta Toma)
And the best thing, I think Hiro's physical appearance in this drama was his most gorgeous one among all his drama (which I ever watched). He looks much better with his white skin rather than his tanning skin (in 'Drop' movie). I like his messy hair style, sometimes he clamp his bangs into top of his head. I like his expressions, from silly expression into the serious one. I like his fashion style, he often wear black shirts and he looks adorable! And he looks so fine even when he just wear the school uniform. 

As a playboy senpai also as a respected dorm-leader, I really think Hiro played the character of Nanba Minami so well*. He fits as Nanba (while in real life, Hiro admitted that the most similar role with his real personality is his role in Room of King). His role as the fourth-most-important character in Hana Kimi (after Mizuki, Sano, and Nakatsu) may not easy to be forgotten even to those who's not idolize him.
*I haven't read the Hana Kimi manga, so my opinion about Nanba character is only based on this drama. People said that there are some part on this drama that doesn't represent the manga, but I think this drama (the Japanese version) is really good and it absolutely worth a watch.
