Maou/Hanadan Filming Locations?

So... I just finished watching the 7th episode of Maou which.. I am sort of getting tired of this drama (sadly), this episode was just a bit to dramatic for a drama I expected to not be dramatic at all. Oh well, Oh-chan's done a good job and I'm going to keep supporting him.

Anyways, main topic of my post ... while watching the 7th episode of Maou I noticed something VERY interesting (in my opinion) and that is the hospital they used to film this particular drama.

Vlcsnap-3791059

This is the part when Ryo (Ohno) is visiting his sister after she listens to the CD-R from Ikehata.

 

Now... look at this picture from Hana Yori Dango...

Vlcsnap-3812171

 

I have other shots of the hospital but I swear they shot both of these dramas in the same hospital... I know it's sort of a random thing to notice but I couldn't stop squealing for some odd stupid reason. (aside from the fact that I am a extreme lover of the HYD dorama) *cough*.

Anyways, just thought it was an interesting thought that people (fans) would like to know about xD

Although... one thing I also noticed. If Domyouji stayed in that hospital.. you'd expect him to have a really nice room since he's totally rich and all, but Ryo's sister's room in Maou is SO MUCH NICER than Domyouji's =P Excuse me. I notice weird things, give me a break.

EDIT::: - Haha you know.. another funny thing.. I kept typing out "hotel" instead of "hospital" o_O *shoots self*

MaoTsuJun fangirling

001-4

What does the above photo suggest for you? Want to know my first thought when I saw this photo? MAO AND JUN ARE FINALLY GETTING MARRIED!! YAY!! and then.. my logical mind took over and I realized it was for Hana Yori Dango. This promotion took place on August 21st at Ebisu Garden place - there was no earlier announcement of this event and YET 600 people STILL came to see those two. (No they are not getting married... unless... they are, secretly but are covering it up by typing it up with Hanadan?) Ignore the mind of an crazed MatsuJun fangirl =D

and another video (in which MatsuJun acts like a complete dork) =D

Last Event

yay! Ok, I'm done posting...

Oh and recently saw a gif of the kiss scene from Hana Yori Dango Final and... OMG I screamed. Actually. I screamed.

1st - It was AN ACTUAL KISS
2nd - They looked so... into it (well Jun did anyways xD)
3rd - ...*brain fizzled and died* - I'm sorry... my through process died... sadly you cannot see this gif. anymore as the owner doesn't want it let out (I don't blame him/her honestly, and I was honestly just lucky to catch a glimpse of it)

so.. as said above I will not show you people the gif. because it's not mine... but seriously LOOK FORWARD TO THE KISS SCENE IN THE MOVIE!!

Smile

Have you all listened to the song Smile that was added into the Truth/Kaze no Mukou E single (forgot which edition xD)?

HOLY CRAP! The first time I listened to it I became so HIGH it was like I was on drugs xD. I have to say, I like things that make me feel all high and happy and listening to Smile does that to me so I seriously love the song =P

I'm not joking, the fi

 

Smile

rst time listening through, my first thought was honestly "These boys on drugs?" cause it was just THAT happy of a song. It's such a corny song though, the lyrics and all but... blah, I never cared about lyrics anyways and I've listened to the song so many times I can virtually lip sync it (and I never read the romaji version of the lyrics yet o_O)

 

I could really compare the song to Happiness and if they made a PV for it.. I can imagine it to like the Happiness PV, pure cracky Arashi just having fun ^_^

Music Lovers

I watched the Music Lovers performance with Arashi thanks to the clips on Tenjo Style's vox. ^_^

I have to admit those fans who got to attend were pretty lucky, it was seriously like a mini-concert that ARASHI held with only 5 songs.

The songs by the way were

-Oh Yeah!
-A Day in our Life
-Love so Sweet
-Kaze no Mukou e
-One Love

although the One Love performance was cut and they just played the song while showing some other videos apparently.

Everyone looked really nice, although I was mostly only paying attention to MatsuJun xD My god there was a moment when the members walked into the crowd (not literally there was probably a walkway or something) and the fans were all like reaching out to touch them xD Lucky lucky girls... I would love to have a grab at Jun =P *cough*cough*

edit -

I watched the talk portion.. laughed so hard xD Members complaining about MatsuJun's huge ass rings and then complaining about Sho's fake jeans. (Sho's thing is totally hilarious... you'd expect an idol to wear something more cool but no, he wears fake jeans that are actually sweat pants).

Ao no Honou (The Blue Flame)

I watched it, Ao no Honou (The Blue Flame). Truthfully I actually don't like watching many of Nino's dramas because they are.. to serious in my opinion. (Yamada Taro Monogatari was COMPLETELY fine). It's definitely NOT because he is a bad actor - from the few works I've seen I can say he is an incredible actor. I don't mind watching stuff like Yamada Tarou but anything more... serious then that I sort of shy away from.

My reason for watching Ao no Honou is actually because I read comments that said Nino turned into a physochotic killer xD I have to admit I was intrigued... although it's not completely true, I am glad and not glad after watching it. Many said that it made them depressed at the end for various reasons... I too became depressed but... not for any particular reason. The thing about the movie Ao no Honou is that at the end... it just GIVES you a depressed feeling. I'm not joking. After finishing I realized... I was feeling quite... down, not extremeley depressed persay - but I definitly wasn't happy. There was no particular reason for my depression it's just... the feeling at the end, the way it ended, everything leading up to the last minute. You just... feel sad. It's sort of complicated xD.

I enjoyed the movie, I've never seen Nino like that. Yelling, angry... the scene with him holding a bat about to hit his dad was wonderful. I have to admit I was sort of... afraid of Nino at that moment. Jun might've played a violent Domyouji but I was never afraid.. watching Nino in that scene honestly... it terrified me a bit.

It's a good movie to watch, honestly, if you're a fan of Nino or Arashi I seriously reccomend watching it because Nino does an EXCELLENT job - also it's his first role with Suzuki Anne. =P

The story is very straight forward. Nino plays a teenage boy (I think the last name is Kushinori? Don't remember, gomen ^^'') who's alcoholic abusive step-father returns home and starts... well.. causing bad stuff. After his step-father harasses his little step-sister (Suzuki Anne), Nino takes it into his own hands to get rid of his step-father and hatches a murder plan. The boy Nino plays is very interesting, at the beginning I noticed he was... a bit un-stable already, but by the end of the movie you could sort of see (if you think about it) that Nino's character wasn't very ... his wasn't mentally stable by the end of it. (not like he's a retard but... how should I say... ). It's hard to explain. You'll understand if you watch the movie and I really hope you do because I really enjoyed it ^_^

Arashi + This Week = AWESOME

How can I start off? This week has been filled with some awesome Arashi stuff so far. First there is their appearance on Utaban which was HILARIOUS. My god... I've never laughed so hard at watermelons and waterguns before xD It was really sweet, they celebrated Nakai's birthday... although... *snickers* I'll leave it to you to figure out what happened =P.

Next off, of course we have... *drumroll* the "Truth" and "Kaze no Mukou E" PV's that came out.

FIRST - The "Truth" PV... oh my god.... I nearly died in a puddle of my own goop after seeing this PV. It's so god damn hot, I am sure you've all already seen it but I need to flail about it at the moment. I've seriously replayed the PV so many times over and over and over again it's not even funny xD. One thing that SERIOUSLY got me in this ENTIRE PV... MatsuJun's random KICK. I was like... "dude... wtf?!" and laughed my ass off for the longest time wondering what the point of it was. But I have to admit, he has one NICE kick. Hahaha. =P

Here's some random screenshots. The angst.. the angst!!!

Next I'm gonna talk about the "Kaze no Mukou E" PV to. I find it hilarious... it's a COMPLETE 180 degree turn from the "Truth" PV. It's all light, and happy... but there's no real dancing, but I still love it a lot. We get beautiful shots of Sho's arms and.. in general they just all look so hot xD *obviously I cannot produce a straight thought*. One thing though... if you think it looks like a "backstreet boys" PV - I seriously don't blame ya. =P

I don't really have as much to say, although... what MatsuJun was wearing, it looked retarded but surprisingly it fit him very well =P Haha. That's MatsuJun for you, looks good in anything.

Now.. some random screenshots. 

Obviously.. you can tell I liked how they looked in Kaze no Mukou E more... haha nah, I'm just kidding. I thought they looked awesome in both but the pictures that came out for Kaze no Mukou E just look better than the ones for Truth.

Back from HK

Mah.... well I'm back from Hong Kong.

It was quite fun spending a month their I must say (although I was a bit stressed from being slightly Arashi deprived). I have come back with many videos to download and watch. Maou being a major one, there are 4 subbed episodes released (soon to be 5) and I can't wait to start watching =D

Then of course I am feeling excited for Jun's upcoming birthday and the 24HR TV program on NTV that will be on the 30th/31st of August. (as well as Jun's birthday)

I'm very excited to watch Jun's new drama SP (Myu no Anyo Papa ni Ageru yo) and am SOOO happy to learn that Nino is going to be doing a new drama to... with Nishikido Ryo!! (who I do like quite a bit ^_^) called "Ryuusei no Kizuna" for those who had not heard the news yet.

I did lots of shopping while in Hong Kong, one of my main things to get were... go figure... ARASHI STUFF!! And I succeeded in mostly getting what I wanted. I bought the Time Concert, AAA+In Dome Concert, Dream "A" Live limited edition and I was looking for the Time Limited Edition but I only found the regular. *sigh*. Ah well, I can't be picky and I should be lucky to find SOMETHING. By the way, the packaging for the AAA+in Dome Concert is INCREDIBALLY nice in my opinion. ^_^ I'm very happy. Was thinking about buying HanaDan to but I went against it. I'm an incredibally stingy person... haha... sadly.
