Rukia’s Hair: Short Hair among Girls become Trends in Japan Nowadays

Based on post on my previous blog, 2011, I will repost again about this because i love rukia so muchhhh




Notice how Rukia’s short hair, the main heroine of manga Bleach so lovely!  It actually has become trends in Japan, can see it especially Japan drama (JDRAMA) since couple years ago in Japan. When she reappears again in Bleach this year of 2011, say hoorayyy she is very cute with short hair! Her hair is cut until neck (her hair not fully- boyish cut). For me maybe she is inspired by hairstyle trending in Japan today. Whoever says she looks like a boy, say BOOOO. Go to Japan and looks the Japan girls looks very awesome and brings the hairstyle very wonderful. You want proof, ne? Then tell me how the heroin(in red circle) in this 3 super Jdrama that bring the almost same hair cut performing very good ratings and popular in Japan! Warning, all this japan drama quite popular in ASIA.

1.    Hanazakarino kimitachi e (2007)



Based on manga also, the live-action for Hana Kimi turned to Japan drama which brings very highhhh ratings and views, also very popularrr in ASIA country. Don’t believe? Sue me. The main heroine is short hair and flat-chested! This drama is very recommended for people who want to start into Jdrama. Very famous drama in ASIA. She surrounds by a lot of (huge) hot guys.


Please take notes that the actress (Horikita Maki) is loved by Japanese and she always at the top in term of beauty voting by japanese=)

The actress is Tokimoto Miori, so cute! I love her.

3.  Ouran High School Host Club(2011)



I don’t watch the anime version and read the manga. But the anime is quite popular around the world. Yes this drama live action is good and funny, and the heroine is short hair and flat-chest. She surrounds by hot guys.


The actress is Kawaguchi Haruna, so young and kawaiii =)

Ahh, I forgot to bring this drama, sory!

4.   Mei-chan no Shishuji



This drama also features heroine with short hair. But her hair close to boyish cut. Also popular drama. She surrounds by hot guys. It’s fact.



Performs by Eikura Nana, she rocks with short hair! Her hairstyle not 100% same with Rukia, but most important it’s short!

Eh… still don’t believe it??


Or you want I bring the most popular shoujo manga, Hana Yori Dango which turn to live action drama until up to 3 version (Japan, Taiwan, Korean)? And, which the heroine has cut her hair? But unfortunately is just in manga and anime only.


5.   Hana Yori Dango



Who don’t know Makino Tsukushi in Hana Yori Dango. She’s a tough and strong girl.  I like her personality, and her attitude a little similar with Rukia (not all). Now she has short hair but a bit longer than Rukia. And she also surrounds by hot guys. Haha

Okay, what I bring next is popular actress of Japan who her image in short hair at beginning of career, totally loved by Japanese. Always at the top in term of beauty voting by Japanese people, lovely character and becomes most wanted commercial queen in her country.

Aya Ueto
 

I love you girl!! So kawaii with short hair, ne?



HENCE, CAN WE GUESS WHAT THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN MAIN HEROIN OF BLEACH AND HEROIN OF JAPAN POPULAR DRAMA ABOVE?


1.    Short hair.
      -       Certain has long hair at the beginning, then cut it as the series progress.
2.    Black/dark brown color of the hair
      -       parallel with ASIAN cultures that preferred women with natural black or dark brown color of              hair in term of beauty.
3.    White, fair and pure skin. Japan beauty.
4.     Flat-chest is an ATTRACTION in ASIA culture.
5.    Skinny and slim.
6.    Surrounding by a lot of hot guys (okay, I am really envy this).
7.    There are girl that jealous to heroin.
8.    Protected by a lot of guys.
9.    The hero (except no 3 and 4) unconscious has feeling to the heroin. He keeps denial and too cocky       to admit it. NOTICE, THIS IS NORMAL IN JAPAN CULTURE, Korea, Taiwan and ASIA too.
10. The second hero obvious has feeling to her, while the main hero pretends to cover it to become           not so obvious. Normal in Japan and ASIA cultures.
11.  Her personality becomes inspired by a lot of ASIAN girl.
12.  She’s cute. Nobody refuse it.
13.  She makes friends by guys.
14. She stands at the same level with the guys.
15.  She has sleep the same room/place with the hero, but not over than that. People respect her.
16.  Everybody loves her. Yet adore her.

It is quite awesome Rukia with short hair, near to her country culture. It is symbolism of cuteness, beauty, strong, tough and fresh among girls in Japan nowadays. What I see couple years recently people in Japanese like girl with short hair and become hot to act in Japan drama as heroin, yet adore ASIAN girl. Yes, I am proud to be ASIAN. Short hair is rocks!

One thing that stood out to me in a recent chapter was that it underlined how Asian cultures value'action over words' when it comes to relationships. I personally despise Mary-Sue stereotypes and like girls with a strong will like Rukia. Her intelligence and thoughtfulness fits well with Ichigo.

Zenkai Girl 2011: What’s so good about kisses?!

As I had posted in my previous blog, I will post again about Zenkai Girl. 

"Just finish watching Zenkai Girl. Good drama, yet entertaining. Just only by episode 1 has attract me to what the heroin says to keep watching the series."

Wakaba(Heroin):
       What’s so good about kisses?
       A KISS is just some CONTACT between SKIN.
       Nothing happens when you kiss someone.
       Kissing won’t start anything!

Supporting Cast :
      That’s not true!
      Kissing will be start of many things.          







This drama is sweets and have lot of life and moral values there. Give five stars to the child actress and actor. They are so talented and full of cutesy. And the chemistry between Aragaki Yui and Nishikado Ryo so great as the main casts. They always arguing! Also have many quotes that so attractive and touched our heart.

They say that arguing brings your closer.

Child actress: “They say Clothes make the man and Make-up covers all sins.”

Child actress: “According to scientists, the first kiss is more likely to remain vividly in your memory for years and not be erased.”

Nishikido Ryo: “Dreams are important, but I believe that looking after small rays of happiness under your own two feet is important too.”


I'm not fan of Aragaki Yui but she is so good to play her character well. Her personality in this drama is a high-demand-girl-search-for-rich-guy-only at the beginning but as the series progress she has a hard life at the past makes me like her character more. When she wears her jersey makes me reminds to Yankumi Gokusen. Huh, but i don't refuse she looks pretty and gorgeous here! While Nishikido Ryo is a sweet guy, very opposed to the Aragaki Yui's attitude. I admit he very talented actor to make his character 'life'.

Well, Japanese Drama is well-known for theirs touchable quotes. Zenkai Girl is entertaining to watch, even there are a little bit boring scenes.

Buzzer Beat 2009 ~ Romance Jdrama

If you want really romance drama, that’s it. This is the real romance japan drama that I long wait for. Nowadays romance genre in japan drama is too childish, immature and cheesy. But buzzer beat make me believe that real romance in jdrama still existed, where it have the aura of 90’s japan drama in term of romance. How can I resist the chemistry of the hero and heroin besides their hot appearance? And their angst and tension story well.

Background signboard for audience recognization, like Long Vacation drama.
The plot of buzzer beat is simple but yet entertaining. Yamashita tomohisa plays the basketball player that confuse in his future, while keiko kitagawa plays the part-time worker at library that wish to become violinist but find her hardness to achieved her dream. See, the opposite of main leaders’ interest that complement each other – sports and music – which become one main ingredient in this drama, where both of them try to understand and support each other interest. Maybe sports and music are separated in large hole in reality but this drama totally rock it just become one love story.

I love keiko kitagawa acting in this drama, she is naturally beautiful but imperfect lady, where she is untidy person compared to her roommate, Mai. I like her as Riko. While yamashita acting just okay. And I like his mature coach star by Hideaki Ito that become love rival where I also has crush in. the interesting part of this drama is naoko girlfriend, natsuki that played by aibu saki which has two faces and almost give up with his uncertain boyfriend. But if I become in natsuki place, I will also give up with my boyfriend that confuse with his future. Aibu saki shows great acting here I hate her character, despite she has more chemistry with the other twist-man basketball player, ren yoyogi where she has scandal with. I ship her with ren, where she shows more her real behavior than be with naoki.

The relationship of riko and naoki developed well in nice pacing, neither too face nor too slow. From the first series their become the strangers, riko become fan of him as basketball player, then become friends, lastly more than that. That is why the love story in this drama has nice pacing. And the romance is real romance that new japan drama should have, real kissing, real hugs and sexual tension. The most best part is where naoki hugs riko in her apartment scene, and the most conflict scene is where naoki found riko kiss ren in front of him. That was the feeling of betrayed by someone you love. The scene is so tense.

I love their friendship. It so sweet.
Besides their chemistry and hot appearances, keiko kitagawa is fashionable. I love all her outfits.
About the cinemographics of the drama is suitable for this genre type. The location – I do love riko apartmet, and I love the basketball field in front of her apartment where naoki always plays with.
And the most memorable and catchy background, the signboard ‘LOVE MAKES ME STRONG’ is just nice. Remember about long vacation drama that has catchy word on signboard too.

For the music, B'z song ~ Ichibu to Zenbu just suit well and the lyrics is matched with the story. I also entertain with the piano version. B'z also sing for Beautiful Life drama starring Takuya Kimura, adding the feeling 90's japan drama romance, song title Kon'ya Tsuki no Mieru Oka ni. 


Buzzer Beat is the romance drama that I can watch again and again without feel boring.
