Gantzmovie

Woke up this morning with a Happy Heart Attack XDD

Super Nino chan (dream L) and MatsuKen (L) in a movie!! <- yup, sharing the sentiment with kiiroi_namida there ^^v)

Not just any movie, but a SF action manga GANTZ!!
http://yj.shueisha.co.jp/gantzspecial/
I've read that manga!! and am still LOL-ling over the fact that Nino's gonna play Kurono, a 10th grader XDD but he's a badass yo!!
EDIT!! Catching up on news.. so, in the movie version, Nino's character Kurono is 大学４年生(uni college final year student). not 10th grader like manga.. I SEE! And I just remember (been a few years since I read it), Kurono likes big boobs and there's naked women scenes in the manga.. also, ultra violent! I liked the story concept but was flipping through the pages of the rented manga very quickly since those violence gory scenes can be too overloaded lols.. wonder if they'd tone down the violent gore.. LOL more imagining Nino acting some of those scenes XDDD For those who're not familiar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gantz_characters

One of my many favorite scenes in 真夜中の嵐！

Seriously Mayonaka no Arashi has gotta be one of my most fave Arashi series ever! Except for those sneaking-into-fangirls- house-middle-of-the-night-with-keys-left-on-front-porch episodes, I pretty much enjoyed them all ^^

Some fans want to marry their idols, but some fans (maybe just me) want their idols to marry each others instead, in fivesomes xD

No self-insertion to disturb the balance, and not just concentrating on ohmiya, not just juntoshi, not just sakumiya, not just sakuraiba, not just matsumiya, ..
It's gotta be all five of them together, not one more, not one less.. us the "6th member" in millions, will just watching them and supporting them ;D

Long ramblings aside (too much cake and mooncake and memes)..

Congrats to the 10 years ~~marriage~~ anniversary of my favorite Fivesomes, Arashi <3
May you continue to be awesome, heartfelt, successful, down to earth, support and love each other!

Here's looking forward to the 5x20, 5x30,... 5x100!
Love you Arashi~!!

ps: reply and catch up soon!

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:38:36 GMT

5x10iconbag

<- waiting to be dried ;D

at the end decided to stick with just the red color as the effect on a canvas bag (creamy white color) seems to be the best... when this dried up I might paint on the other side with blue color.. following their 5x10 color theme ^^

Thanks Steffi again for the graphic!
It's fun to make but the cut up paper started to curl up a bit now due to the paint.. may need to cut a new one.

Catch up/ reply later!!

PS:
I love love love all the members' solos at kokuritsu! In particular Sho-chan's version of "tomadoinagara".. maybe due to the recording is the clearest? xD anyway, I love the relaxed hip hop style arrangement... speaking about the new arrangements, I also heart heart heart Nino-chan rock version of "kotoba yori.."!! dvd please so we can get clearer version! and of course Aibachan's version of "Pikanchi" too! So cool!! *_* and last but not least, Jun's jazzy version of Wish.. he can front a jazzy band with Arashi as backup doowob singers xD and then of course there's Kenta!Riida!! same arrangement of course but Uta no Ohnosan is always precious adorable <3

Nino Nino Nino *_*
why so... *_*
I'm hungry lols.
btw I love his young Tony LeungChiuWai hair <3
art in progress here..
I might paint it with acrylic..
at least go further with the pencil sketch...
I'm gonna make supper at 10:42pm..
not good to eat at this time but drawing that Nino is really making me hungry!

oh this reminds me of that Haruki Murakami's short story "the second bakery attack" (from "The Elephant Vanishes short stories collections).. so hungry!
I wonder what's the connection lols.
Speaking of which, "barn burning" (also from "The Elephant Vanishes") reminds me of Brunino (strangers on a train) planting the idea into Guy's mind... heh.
coincidence and connections and dopplegangers..
what a funny world.

Anyway. hungry. be back later catch up later!

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:35:44 GMT

kindly need your opinion, which version(s) is the best?
from left to right: watercolor (with pencil), watercolor (with pencil + equalizer turned on), ink.
I kind of prefer the first one.
please click on each picture to view the details and let me know... much appreciate!
I lost my natural sense of coloring ever since I attended some art classes a few months ago D:

On Vox: After Dark. (don't like the book cover? paint over it)

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:58:06 GMT

Afterdark

Which is what I did =D
Haruki Murakami is my favorite author.
I collect all his books (all english versions, most chinese versions, some japanese versions) and read and read and read. For nearly two decades now.

But.
A year ago I couldn't continue with reading "After Dark" after a few pages.
It's the Australian version of the book cover.
It's freaking distracting and severely put me off!
Murakami's stories are superb mood pieces: mundane, strange, surreal, psychological, metaphorical, metaphysical, existentialism, lonesome, magic.
so.
why a photo of an ero chick on the book cover?
I'm so not a fan of the australian versions of the current batch of most of his bookcovers.. are they trying to sell them to men with oriental chicks fetish? *shudders*
It's so misleading!
So I had to paint over the cover.

See the black acrylic paint with the minimalistic eerie texture? The jazz and black coffee in the witching hours feel? Now that suits the mood perfectly =D
And I happily read the book.
Last night. close to midnight.
Sipping black coffee with Curtis Fuller's old jazz tune "Five Spot After Dark":

(awesome remix on the left, live jazz version on the right)

Setting the mood.
Then listened to the Portrait of Jazz (selected by Murakami) cd while immersing into the Murakami world.
After Dark.
story took place and time between midnight to 7am.
the witching hours where dreams and realities swapped places, the line between physics and metaphysics blurred.
a young jazz trombonist orders a chicken salad at 11:56pm.
at midnight, statics appears on an unplugged tv set in a darken room.
a loveho named Alphaville.
a pencil, with an eraser, stamped with the name veritech.
4:09am. feeding stray cats in a small park.
a cricket running away from the past.
a deserted mobile phone ringing from a 7-eleven dairy shelf.
soon the morning comes.

Hope there's no major plot spoilers :D
Highly recommended.
"After Dark"'s gotta be near my current top favorites of Murakami's books.
All time favorite is "Hardboiled Wonderland and The End of the World".
I like "After Dark" more than his some of his other books due to it's short and concise, everything wrapped up well (as far as metaphysic is concerned).. it's a bit like Wong Kar-Wai's Chungking Express remains my top favorite film, 'cause it's short but so concised. It's not that I don't like long novels/movies. I like things wrapped up nicely sometimes ^^
Unlike "Kafka on the Shore", too ambitious (although they're all interesting ideas) and too overly trippy-wtf.. "Wind-up bird chronicles"- kinda similar "problem".. plus certain scenes a little too gruesome for my taste ^^; That aside, I still enjoyed "Kafka on the Shore" and "Wind-up bird chronicles" a lot.

Speaking of Wong Kar-Wai <- my favorite film director!
Reading Murakami definitely makes me think of Wong Kar-Wai's films;
while watching WKW's films makes me think of Murakami's stories.
Both like the element of mood, jazz/cool music, dopplegangers, and loneliness/isolation.
Bits of After Dark and its execution makes me think of WKW's Chungking Express + Fallen Angels + Days of Being Wild.
I hope these two collaborate one day in a film project.. with actors Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Ninomiya Kazunari :D Nino can be Tony's younger self, his son, or doppleganger; both WKW and Murakami love the concept of dopplegangers.
That's my ultimate movie wish list heheh.

Sorry for the long ramblings, had to do it lol.
I'm going to read "After Dark" again.
*boils water for black coffee*

take care and catch up later!
