Now, Buzzer Beat, a new drama starring Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa), Keiko Kitagawa and Aibu Saki.


The beginning immediately went to showcase this Championship and how they managed to win the first playoff. (whatever that is, I'm not familiar in basketball). So anyways, to make it short, I am pretty satisfied with how they coreographed the moves, tactics, passings among the players, but of course, One Tree Hill still offers the best visual for me. Nonetheless, for an Asian production, i guess this will do.

And the characters are one by one introduced, no rushing here, just slowly we are brought into their troubles and slowly we are revealed to their true selves. It's only the first episode though but i think we're slowly getting where this is heading.



For ONCE, I am fine with Yamapi's character this time. Oh Thank God, he plays a non-cool character here. After the Kurosagi and then Code Blue, he gves me this vibe that makes me wanna strangle him every single time I see him frown. But not here though.

Why? Because his character is different. He's much cheerful here, smiles a hundred times MORE than he did in the ENTIRE Code Blue drama in ONE episode. What else? And oh...finally he has a girlfriend in the beginning of the show, even PROPOSING and COOKS GREAT TOASTS for his family, plays decent basketball and the list goes on.

He's entirely different, which brings fresh air for us all, viewers. I don't know how his fans would react but this is looking good for me. He is actually WORRIED SICK of his future, his SALARIES, and for ONCE, he is not this some EGOISTIC character. So good for him! It's always good to change characters. Shows how versatile one is.




Don't know about this one though. No doubt Aibu Saki has evolved from an innocent character to a more ' not-so-innocent' girl in one episode, I wonder how this change will evoke the viewers out there who already have been 'annoyed' by her before. And yeah, the other guy lol...when i first saw him appear, i was like what the hell...coz he looks like some walk-in drug-addict. SERIOUSLY.

Of course, with a basketball or any sports show, we are always given the chance to sneak into their locker rooms or baths wahahahaha....and yeah, body show offs!



Funny stuffs...

Now, to this actress who I've not seen before in dramas, basically coz she's not much in dramas, even if she was in, they're the ones that I didn't watch. Ok anyway, for a first time viewer, I am fine with her i guess. She's decent. And I do like her better than Aibu Saki, at least. And she reminds me of my cousin. No, seriously, they look alike! And when I first saw her in this drama, I was like...where have I seen her before? She looks damn familiar! And then it hit me that one of my cousins looks like her. @_#

Well at least she does well so far in the humor department. Together with this actress from Love Shuffle, it is win.





One to One match. No need to know how loses and wins here. Look at him Frown.



SMILES BACK!!!

Good episode. I am watching this till the end. ^^

Upcoming Japanese drama starring Yamashita Tomohisa, Aragaki Yui and Toda Erika featuring them as medical service using helicopters to quickly reach those in need during emergency.Yamapi play a young doctor in training, under the guidance of an experienced doctor played by Toshira Yanagiba. This show will start airing on Thursday nights on Fuji TV right after Last Friends. (which should be beginning of July) because Last Friends SP will be on June 26th. Basically i might be able to catch the first episode of this series, just before i go back KL to study.


Now, i have a feeling that Fuji TV is aiming for young generation viewers particularly on Thursday nights. Looking at just how successful Last Friends is doing with the steady increase of ratings so far, i think this prompted them to show Code Blue after that. As we all know, Yamapi from JE is a major fangirl magnet. Whereas for Aragaki Yui and Toda Erika, they have their own fanbase as well. But i have to say that i'm not a fan of Toda Erika though. (i've only seen her in Tsubasa no Oreta Tenshitachi and Engine) Both of which is enough for me to crack my head as to WHY she has a lot of fan??? I can't seem to see what's so special about her that makes some people go gaga over her. I can understand about Yamapi though.
Well, he looks fine in those blue outfit. He definitely seemed more mature. At least MUCH MORE MATURE than this one from 1 Litre of Tears Special where Ryo Nishikido has become a doctor. Seriously, he looks like a KID dressed in an OVERSIZED white coat. HELLOOooo~ this is not a Happy Halloween~~ well okay i can't find a picture of him in that white coat.My sis apparently is borrowing my 1 litre of tears SP so i cant get the screencap. But anywho...here's one that can sorta make it easier to imagine the whole image. This is Koikei Teppei (WaT) who landed the same role as a doctor in Iryu 1 and 2. He looked like a kid to me.

And what's with the NERDY GLASSES...omg. Oh, i found a good picture. Tiing, sorry but can i borrow your snapshot for a bit??? hehexD credits to Bump on The Asphalt
for this. I'm just trying to show my point.


See...see....see....
Anyway, back to Code Blue----> Yamapi finally DID something to his hair, he had this SAME hairstyle back in Nobuta wo Produce and then in Kurosagi. Although it's not exactly a HUGE change, but still he made an effort. I wish Ryo learnt something from him. Ryo, do something about your hair!!! Seriously if ryo appears in yet another drama after Last Friends and his hair is still the SAME, i'm gonna be friggin ANNOYED>
Yamapi's new curly hairstyle reminds me of Kimutaku's hair in CHANGE. i wonder if he got some advice from his Senpai haha xD

YES, your eyes didn't play any tricks on you, NOR do you need to have them checked.

That is Takuya Kimura in his new role as a candidate for Prime Minister of Japan, it's all about politics.


and i have to say, he does look nerdy here.But i'm currently DL the first episode of CHANGE, i wonder if it's gonna impress me. Because the ratings for this show has been pretty high and achieved over 20% most of the time. And that is GOOD, you know. but i'm afraid i'm not into the whole POLITICAL DRAMA. Coz personally i hate politics. the word itself to me is a crime. it's pretty bullshit in my eyes.

this must be pretty recent...coz the hosts were like whacking Ryo on the head...and talked about him being DV guy...as in Last Friends.the thing with boy groups...is that i can never get used to seeing guys...their age, dancing...and all SMILEY on camera like that. And seeing some pop songs...i get a bit...disturbed haha xD Maybe coz i prefer guy singers to be more of serious,masculine,and playing some instruments. Yeah, i like boy bands rather than groups. so sue me...xD

and especially seeing Ryo Nishikido here...dancing with the boys...i can't stand it.
Maybe that's why i can't take him seriously whenever he abuses his girlfriend in LF. He seemed too weak for those scenes...

They were talking bout Yamapi's birthday.
and the host whacked Ryo's head.

Seriously, Ryo should change his hairstyle, at least in LF. I mean, give him some SPUNK! i've been watching him since 1 litre of tears, then Attention Please...and now LF, who's his hair stylist? He's too innocent looking for the role like that. *Although i know being in JE, they have to flash innocent cute smiles all the time to lure hopeless fan girls*

But when you're an actor, then act like an actor, for goodness sake. Also, i'm not the only one who notices his walking style. He's walking like a supermodel in a fashion show! T.T Can somebody just teach him the normal way of walking? At least, walk properly in series, coz you're not a JE boy anymore when you're acting.


Oh Yamapi...and then they were talking bout April Fool's day where the oldest member of the group, received SMS saying Yamapi is leaving the group after the new song...which got him shocked. Never believe anything on an April Fool's Day, unless it's all over the news. no pun intended.
yeah...and he replied " We'll be NOTHING WITHOUT YAMAPI"

I suppose Yamapi and Ryo are like the two stars...in the group.

then Tegoshi wa s showin off his new talent, apparently...

and i was like " WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING?" with those two little fingers of his...



I'm not the only one who 's not amused...

Look at his face haha xD
and i can't help but wondering who are all those KIDS behind?! I mean...are they there just to cheer and add the merriness...or they're some artists too...trying to make it big...or are they some JE boys too...just juniors, maybe.
i love those hosts...on hey hey hey...and also utaban guys. they're hilarious.

then they showed some rare footages of YOUNG yamapi...in a movie called Shinrei. look at that boy...


NEXT---> Ryo's turn...

when he's just 14 year old...
he does look pretty even then...huh...haha xD

the host getting all cosy with Ryo...on the couch...when they're doing the Hoop/Loop games.
then the host is like dancing along, shaking his butt together with the girl...
