Quiet Room ni Yokoso (2007)

After stopping and continuing it for a couple of times I've finally finish watching this movie. Each one of the characters portrayed it very well.
I guess the first half of the movie wasn't that interesting maybe that is the reason why I stopped it and continued it for a couple of times.
It's a kind of movie which you want to watch it to know the reason but also lazy to sit there to finish the whole movie and just want to skip it to the end.
But I do find the 2nd half of the movie pretty interesting, especially the part where Asuka finally knows the truth from the letter.
Overall the movie was pretty good.

synopsis:
28 years old freelancer writer Sakura Asuka (Yuki Uchida) wakes up tied in a white room. The white room is a protected room located in an isolated ward of a psychiatric hospital. Sakura first became unconscious because of heavy alcohol use and a druge overdose. She’s confined in the single room because of her high risk of committing suicide.

Sakura tried to talk to the nurses and doctors but they didn’t listen to her. Under the circumstances another patient Miki (Yu Aoi), who suffers from an eating disorder, leads her to understand the unknown world. But, Sakura is looking for the way to get back to the real world as soon as possible.

Chinese version of Prince of Tennis Live-Action

I was kind of expecting this to come because long time ago I read on the newspaper that a group of boys will act in a famous manga Prince of Tennis.
Lately I came across a website and there was news about the live-action and when it will be on.

There will be 20 episodes in total and will be broadcast during 2008 June.

Prince of Tennis was one of my favorite anime and it is still now, I only liked the TV series but not the whole National OVA. Right now I'm collecting the manga of it too.

I think they already got everything out of Prince of Tennis they could already, first there was the manga being released, then the anime version, then the muscial, then the live-action movie and now a Chinese version of the TV drama.
And I have seen all of them except for the upcoming TV drama, I might have got bored of the storyline already but I have to admit I'm a little curious about this Chinese version TV drama of Prince of Tennis.

By the looks of the official website, it seem like they have put a lot of thoughts in this and want to make it big. I was looking at the guy's profile from DramaWiki and was surprise by each one of their height, most of them were above 180cm. So when did guys from China has this kind of height?

I'm curious how this will go and how well they implement the CG effects.

Lead - Feel The Vibes

Haven't blog here for a long time, lately I've been listening to Lead's 5th album "Feel The Vibes". I was actually looking forward to this album ever since I saw the album cover.

I think all of them has improved a lot in their vocals, because I couldn't recognize their voices sometime (especially Akira). In Track 1 The Vibes and Track 16 Feel they have guest artists Chris Gatsby and IO Hustle, no wonder I heard an unfamiliar voice but both of those songs were cool.

In this album Lead's songs has mature a lot compared to their last album, there's more of the R&B taste which you can immediately identify when listening to Track 2 Baby What Turns You On.

Track 5 Tani☆RAP is Shinya's solo rap song because I really like listening to Shinya's rapping so I really like this song. But the song reminds me of Fonk's Ohayo Sunday.

Instead of Lead singing ballad songs I prefer them singing R&B/Hip Hop songs. Somehow it just suits them more in my own opinion.
