Annie had saved up enought money to get to Japan for one whole week. She filed her vacation leave once she haerd about the exhibition in Omodesanto Hills. It was a miracle that Jamie-chan was able to join her and even got them a place to saty for free.

"Annie...are you up yet?" Jamie tapped on her friend's shoulder as Arashi's song, Blue began. Nino's voice was dreamily filling the air, followed by Satoshi's rich voice. Jamie knew that it was the only song that could wake her friend up in the morning for some weird reason.

"Huh..?" Annie stirred nad groggily got up , "O-ohayou..."

"Ohayou gozaimasu, Annie-chan!", she smothers her friend with a big hug.

"Ne, Jamie-chan, you're overly excited ne"

"Its our first day in Tokyo, Annie!!"

"Mah..mah..don't strangle me please.." she giggled.

"Ah...gomen ne..." lets go of her, "haiyaku ne...we'll be late for the exhibit!!"

"Hai..."Annie repleid as Jamie bounced out of the room and down the stairs. It was really a dream come true for her to see Ohno Satoshi's work up close. Being the artist that she is, it meant a lot to her. She wished Nana could come too. But Nana, has her thesis to finish and as they always said..."School/Work first comes first before fangirling". so she had no choice but to back out.

Breakfast, as well as the trip to Omodesanto hills, had been a blur compared to the events that followed. The line to the exhibition was really long and they learned that they were only going to be let in by batches. It seems like they were going to be in the fifth batch. Jamie, being the crazy and agressive person she is, pulled Annie by the arm.

"Where are we going?" Annie asked, "we might miss our batch..."

"Sssshhhh...not so loud, Annie...", her friend tried to get her to walk faster towards the side of the building.

"Where are we going?", the puzzled girl hissed at her curly-haired friend. Jamie stopped at the chain-linked fence and pushed the gate. It hadn't been secured properly apparently, and Jamie being the ever curious girl wandered and found it ajar. They crept in and made their way into the exhibition hall without any hitches.

Inside the hall, Annie and Jamie marveled at the artpieces. Annie was examining a particular piece as Jamie wandered to the paintings near a side door when it suddenly opened and the tall girl was taken by surprise by Satoshi and Sho. Annie heard the familiar voices and turned slowly to see what was happening. Jamie was explaining to Sho what on earth they were doing inside as Sho was interpreting it to the Satoshi and the camera crew they were with. Sho was supposed to cover the exhibit for News Zero. Jamie kept apologizing as Annie froze at the sight of Satoshi coming towards her and asked her in Nihongo what she thought of his workd.

"Its wonderful" she found herseft saying in japanese after what seemed forever.

"Really? Ihope so, I want to make people happy with my artwork. And for my family to be proud of me." Ohcahn said, "your friend said that you're an artist."

"H-h-hai", she managed to say, "I'm a graphics designer for video games"

"Really? Games? Uwah!! Sugoi!! You should meet Nino-chan" he smiled broadly,"but would you have time though?"

"Hai, she has time," jamie chimed in as she was followed by Sho, "Annie!! Sho asked me if we could join them tonight for a party to celebrate the exhibit."

Sho spoke to Ohcahn in Nihongo. Annie understand part of it to tell She was merely translating what Jamie was saying.

"If you would please have time for us, we'll pick you up tonight..say..10pm?" Sho said in english. His smile very engaging.

"Hai. Please join our party. its nothing fancy just karaoke with the rest of the guys,"Ohno said, "Annie-san, onegaishimasu."

"Onegaishimasu" the two bowed slightly

"Who am i to refuse?" Annie said.

"Great!!,"Jamie tapped Sho's shoulder and motioned, "we're going with you two later"

At that email addresses and mobile numbers were exchanged and they were asked to step aside as the News Zero team set-up and filmed for sho's report the next night. Soon the boys bade goodbye and the girls bought their freestyle goods and went home happy.

~~~♥♥♥♥♥~~~

It was really something to be invited by Arashi to karaoke but Annie didn't keep her hopes up. Jamie had the same sentiments but they dressed up a bit all the same.

"Annie if they don't show up, let's just go out anyway" Jamie smiled, trying to keep genki.

"Hai," Annie nodded. At htat point, the doorbell rang and Jamie's cousin called them fron downstairs,"Jamie-chan, you have company"

The two girls' eyes lit up and stifled their shrieks of joy. Trying to compose themselves before proceeding downstairs. They found them sitting on the sofa being interrogated by Jamie's nephew about the Jimousho. Jamie was for once in a dress. A maroon one that she hardly ever wore with black boots to match the piping on the knee-length dress. Annie was in a pretty sapphire blue dress and white calf boots. The boys got up and greetings were exchanged as well as last minute reminders to the girls. They left in Sho's white Toyota, Jamie sat in front with Sho as they were disputing on politics, environmental issues and all that boring stuff. Satoshi and Annie sat at the back of the car.

"Ne Annie-san, you said that you're an artist deshou?" Satoshi started.

"Yes," Annie smiled.

"Do you paint too?" Ohchan asked, looking into her eyes.

"Yes, I use acrylic," she answered feeling a bit giddy with his gaze, "I also sketch and sculpt"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"You're talented ne. Did you bring any of your work with you?"

"Not really, I left most of them at home back in our country but I do have pictures here in my phone"

"May i please see them?" Satoshi asked.

"Douzo," she opened the file in her mobile and they beth pored over them. Their head close. Annie could smell his Burberry cologne and it made her heart flutter. Satoshi was saying something while looking at her, his face near hers. she turned to look at him and for a split second their lips touched. An electric shock went through her body, dropping her keitai and looked away.

"Sumimasen" , they both said at the same time and started laughing. Jamie turned from her debate with Sho one the use of ethanol as gasoline, "Ne you two alright back there?!"

"Yeah, we're fine.", Annie giggled. Then the van halted in the middle of nowhere. Sho couldn't fix it and when they triend theri keitai none of them were working. There was no signal anywhere.

"I think we're over a blind spot,"Jamie said.

"I was about to say that", Sho smiled at her.

"Well lets just make the most out of the clear night sky...I love star-gazing" the curly-haired girl said.

"I have a big tatami in the trunk, we could lie on that" Sho suggested.

"Uwah!! Amazing!", Annie cried.

"Is that the same one we used for the picnic?" Satoshi asked

"Hai" Sho answered

They foun a good spot near in a nearby field just off the orad and laid the tatami. The girls beside each other and the guys at each end. Sho pointed out the constellations to Jamie. She sneezed and Sho pulled her closer. Ohno and Annie talked about how he would love to go out fishing with her or just paint with her. Annie just smiled up at him as he told her how he caught his first fish. She was dozing off and he pulled her into his arms. annie wasn't sure but before she closed her eyes, she thought she heard, "Suki daiyo Annie-chan."

cousins are the best, they make you laugh and feel like living again.

Well, watching Return of the King and eating booze-filled chocolates, banana milkshakes with vanilla ice cream plus snarky comments on how XJ's so childish to play gunbound at this age helps.

Having tons of lames jokes also lightened the mood tons, other than trying to explain plot points and talking about awesome things to cousins.

Most of the time, I do wonder what kind of image I present to my cousins and relatives. A suck up? Someone who's too obedient? Too cool-y distant? Funny? Lazy? Rebellious?

should I run the nike marathon with melody? I really do need the exercise!

I take your life forever, you take my life forever.

I can shut people in and out of my life anytime I wish so. I'm tired to taking the first step, so people, please come and meet me halfway.

Talk to me, give me your name.

THE MAOU OF THE RINGS

nobody@vox.com(dunadan) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:25:52 +0800

I have decided to forego flailing about "Maou" and been rewatching "The Lord of the Rings" on television for the last three Saturdays. Oh! How I miss it. I remembered how much I was into it (and harry potter too) that I even cosplayed as a Nazgûl (it was damn hot walking around all covered in a black cloak). I have lost count how many times I watched the movies inclusive of the extended editions. The book took me some time to get into because the first part was rather lengthy. But by the end, I wanted to name my firstborn "Faramir" (as opposed to being second) and even my very nickname "Dúnadan" (pronounced as "dune-a-done") came from it. Then Arashi came and everything else took a backseat except for the name that I have associated with myself. Just something that reminded me when I was watching.

EYE OF SAURON

It is another fiery eye!

EYE OF MAOU

I also realised how much I like the soundtrack especially Gollum's Song and The Steward of Gondor.

The Steward Of Gondor

Billy Boyd

Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade

PS: I can do a mean impersonation of Gollum *gollum* *gollum* my preciousss... XD

Jun watched Maou real time
Nino and Aiba-chan had work together, so they weren't able to watch Maou on time. They were at Ageha roke... @_@ (Does that mean more Ageha on Himitsu??)
Sho-kun was busy with Olympics and did not watch Maou either.
Ohchan had watched Episode on the day before the tv airing 7/3
Jun imitated Maou *_*
Shower talk - Apparenlty Sapporo shower was very HOT
Nino staring at Aiba-chan A LOT for Sakura Sake

タイヨウのうた主題歌

nobody@vox.com(karened) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:49:24 +0800

I promise this will be the last post on this dorama. =)

タイヨウのうた by Moon Child

Taiyou No Uta (タイヨウのうた)- Band Performance (Moon Child)

タイヨウのうた by Sawakiri Erika

澤尻繪里香 - タイヨウのうた

You would definitely appreciate the song much more after watching the dorama because the lyrics to this song (as well as the lyrics to Amane Kaoru's other song Stay With Me) echoes Kaoru's relationship development with Kouji.

Here are the lyrics, from here.

震えている私の手に　初めて君が触れて
優しい気持ち　暖かさに　やっと気付いたんだ
閉ざした窓開ければ　新しい風が吹いた

furuete iru watashi no te ni hajimete kimi ga furete
yasashii kimochi atataka sa ni yatto kizuitanda
tozashita mado akereba atarashii kaze ga fuita

Having touched my quivering hands for the first time
I've finally became aware of your warmth and gentle feeling
If the tightly shut window were opened, a new wind would blow

笑って　泣いて　君と出会えて
見える世界は輝き出した
向日葵揺れる　太陽の下で
感じていた　風を　日々を…

waratte naite kimi to deaete
mieru sekai wa kagayaki dashita
himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
kanjite ita kaze wo hibi wo...

smiling, crying, meeting you by chance
The world I could see was radiant
A sunflower swaying beneath the sun
Having felt the breeze, every day...

信じること迷うことも立ち止まることも全部
私が今ここで生きてる答えかもしれない
モノクロの毎日が色付いて行くように

shinjiru koto mayou koto mo tachidomaru koto mo zenbu
watashi ga ima koko de ikiteru kotae kamoshirenai
monokuro no mainichi ga irozuite iku you ni

Beliefs, hesitation, and standing still, all this
Me, living here now, might be the answer
Just like adding color to monochrome days

笑って　泣いて　君と出会えて
続く未来は輝いていた
向日葵揺れる　太陽の下で
わたしのまま明日を歌うよ...

waratte naite kimi to deaete
tsuzuku mirai wa kagayaite ita
himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
watashi no mama ashita wo utau yo...

Smiling, crying, meeting you by chance
The continuous future has sparkled
A sunflower swaying beneath the sun
as I have been, tomorrow I'll sing...

限りにない日々も
止まらない時間も
どれなけ愛せるかな
愛せるよね
君がいれば二人さえも
逸らさないで...

kagiri ni nai hibi mo
tomaranai jikan mo
dore na ke aiseru kana
aiseru yo ne
kimi ga ireba futari sae mo
sorasanaide...

Days without end
and time that never stops
How much can we love?
We can love, right?
If you are here, only us two...
don't turn away...

笑って　泣いて　君と出会えて
続く未来は輝いていた
向日葵揺れる　太陽の下で
わたしのまま明日を

waratte naite kimi to deaete
tsuzuku mirai wa kagayaite ita
himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
watashi no mama ashita wo

Smiling, crying, meeting you by chance
The continuous had sparkled
A sunflower swaying beneath the sun
As I have been, tomorrow...

ありがとう伝えたい今なら言えるよ
過ごした季節も忘れはしないよ
向日葵揺れるタイヨウのように
私のうた君を照らすよ...

arigatou tsutaetai ima nara ieru yo
sugoshita kisetsu mo wasure wa shinai yo
himawari yureru taiyou no you ni
watashi no uta kimi wo terasu yo...

Right now, I want to tell you "Thank you"
I won't forget seasons that has since past.
A sunflower swaying beneath the sun
My song will shine for you...

私のまま・・・
君を・・・・
君を・・・

watashi no mama...
kimi o....
kimi o....

As I have been...
Thinking of you...
Thinking of you...
