Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge

Hayato with his worst hairstyle ever. He is always trying out different hairstyles for all his films, but this must be his worst. Anyway, I've reached a conclusion that his dramas are always better than his movies. Not doubting his acting skills, but the movies of his are always lacking.

Summary from wiki
One day, apathetic high school student Yosuke meets a beautiful girl named Eri. Eri does battle every night with an indestructible, chainsaw-wielding maniac, “Chainsaw Man”. As Yosuke and Eri bond, he eventually joins the fight. Features CG effects by the talents behind the “Death Note” series. Based on the best-selling novel by Tatsuhiko Takimoto.

That chainsaw man appears randomly and a school girl have to fight him everyday. Hayato was kinda redundant and stupid.


Ratings: 4/10. Slightly pointless and left me very confused.

Saru Lock

Any show by Hayato Ichihara rarely disappoints. Unlike the character he did in Rookies, he became a crazy monkey in Saru Lock. I'm not quite sure if I like the serious or the silly him but I really like any characters he portray.

Summary from wiki

Sarumaru Yataro, nicknamed "Saru" is an average high school boy who daydreams about idols but otherwise has no luck with girls. While working at his fathers locksmithing business, Saru uses his genius-like lock picking skills to take on dangerous cases.


So the story revolves around him pick locking, involves abit of hentai (but still PG), breaking criminal cases. The storyline sounded alittle stale, but there wasn't any bad dull moments.


Ratings: 7/10. This drama is a little unrated in Japan, just because it isn't a idol-drama.

Rainbow song

Rainbow Song (虹の女神, Niji no Megami) had long been in my want-to-watch list ever since it was released in 2006. Of course it was because of our dear boy Hayato Ichihara and it was released soon after I became all fan-girly after watching WaterBoys II. Sad to say, I never got to watch it until two weeks ago on crunchyroll, after a long 2 year wait. I remembered googleing 'rainbow song' every now and then, but nope, couldn't find it anywhere.

It wasn't really all that great but I still cried with my sister exclaiming, " WHAT! WHATS THERE TO CRY ABOUT! WHERE? EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT HAPPENED?"

It stirred my interest in filming. Not digital filming, but film filming(old school kind). After all, I'm a film enthusiatic but it had always revolves around my manual cameras (I probably own 20+ manual cameras).

In love with each other but never gotten to confess and be together was sure a bummer. I was screaming, "WHAT! thats it?!?!"

Unlike in Rookies, whereby Hayato was the leader whom everyone fears. In Rainbow song, he was a timid, soft-spoken, weak guy who was always bullied which i must say I love Aniya in Rookies.

There is a lesson to be learnt in this movie, that is to be brave and never hold back your feelings, thinking that he/she would be there forever. It would be too late to regret when he/she's no longer around.

Ratings: 6.5/10 It's hard to be un-biased against Hayato when he's so cute.

ROOKIES

I've decided that my first drama post would be my currect favourite JDrama Rookies. The only reason i started this was that Hayato Ichihara was the main lead. Other than that, my interest rate was low. Hayato oh hayato. Starting with Waterboys 2 as my first JDrama, now I can't stop.

Now, take a look at the banner. How interesting could this drama be, just judging on the poster?

1. Sports drama- baseball. (eew, i'm a sucker for romance)

2. Terrible hairstyles.

3. Yet another teacher-student plot. Think dragon zakura, GTO, Gokusen.. the list goes on.

I wish I could convince everyone that Rookies is a MUST-WATCH. The cast grew on me as how they transformed from violent violent delinquents to determined guys achieving their dreams. I cried with them as they struggled with their violent past, their strong ego, each one of them coming together to play baseball. I'm even interested in baseball now.. HAHA! And Aniya. sigh Aniya! I fell in love with Hayato Ichihara all over again.



In all of his dramas or movies I've caught (he's mainly the main guy ! even when he was a kid and in his first movie), he's almost ALWAYS the weaker one who gets bullied, like Lily Chou Chou, waterboys 2, rainbow song.



But in Rookies, despite being the shortest, he's the one whom everyone fears and listens to.

Truth about Lily Chou Chou

you would wonder how these delicate boyish-goodlooking features make taller delinquents fear him.

There you go. His voice sexy like hell especially when he shouts at anyone, even the principal. It must be those shaped eyebrows, the way he walks and his inner bad-boy aura. oh gosh, i'm talking wayyyyy too much about him.

Moving on, Hiratsuka Taira is the guy who made me laugh so hard. He's one of the most silly and funny personality ever!

Kritani Kenta as Hiratsuka Taira. He's hot isn't he? Wait till you see this...

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Just looking at him makes me laugh.

Unlike Hana Kimi(Japan), whereby the characters (apart from the main gang) are just passing good-looking guys you would forget filling in spaces. Each boy in Rookie tells a story and would leave you an impression.

GO GO GO WATCH!
