@userdramas event 12: loss ↳ eien no kinou (eternal yesterday)

no one remembers him as a living corpse. i cried so much, i felt like i was turning into a puddle of tears. in the end, my sadness never went away... and it probably never will.

I love you the most

A LOOK BACK at Koichi & Mitchan (Yamada Koichi & Oumi Mitsuru

EIEN NO KINO (2022, JAPAN) ETERNAL YESTERDAY

A BL with a different premise. Two high school boys become fascinated by one another almost instantly unable to avoid one another's stares.

One of these times the popular Koichi (The Fantastic KOMIYA RIO) approaches Mitsuru (INOUE SORA) asking him for friendship. Slightly cold in the beginning Mitchan agree to eat lunch with Koichi in complete silence.

Eventually they begin talking and become close. Koichi becoming very protective of Mitchan. While walking in the rain Koichi is hit by a truck and killed. Or is he? He gets up as if nothing happened (except the neck and leg thing)

Koichi is not alive exactly...he's a living corpse unable to leave his beloved Mitchan. At least not right away. Love continues to blossom for an alive human and a living corpse.

But it's just a matter of time before Koichi has to leave his precious Mitchan.

hi dee~~ pls tell me about your favorite ship (or one of them if u don’t have just one)!! what do u like about them, favorite moments, any au/headcanons for them, etc

hi hi mint!! giggling and kicking my feet at our sleepover thank you for the free pass to talk about my beloved blorbos SJFKDKFJC <33 I definitely have more than one fave, and I just talked about my current brainrot palmnueng so... I'll talk about my most recent faves mitsuru/koichi from eien no kinou (I don't know their ship name I just realized whoops)!

GODDD they are so. mwah. no one does it like jbls and specifically these two because my GOD. I watched this show in one sitting and out of 8 episodes I cried continuously for 2 and a half. mitsuru is so lonely and he's built a wall around him to protect himself but then koichi makes a door in it - and then he DIES. and mitsuru is so terrified of koichi disappearing that he literally wishes koichi back to life. and he acts like he has everything together but in reality he's just pretending because if he slips, if he shows how scared he is, koichi might disappear.

and speaking of koichi??? INCOMPREHENSIBLE SCREAMING MY BOY....... he's so sweet and he loves so so much and he's also lonely, just like mitsuru, but in a different way, and he keeps living even though it hurts because micchan wished it and he wants micchan to be happy forever. and the fact that he dies protecting micchan. he's so. my chest hurts when I think about him for too long ❤️

my favorite moments are literally every single second they're on screen, but off the top of my head their first kiss is so adorable because it's bad and silly and they laugh after it and it's very much a first kiss. it's so cute!!!

my favorite au is, of course, koichi doesn't die 😌 they live together happily ever after forever and ever and they die of old age together. this is exactly what happens in canon too guys trust me. TRUST.

I don't have any particular headcanons for them - I'm not typically a headcanon girlie - but mitsuru getting a dog is literally the most realest thing ever to me. thank you for coming to my ted talk!

The eternal dilemma: should I rewatch Eien no Kino/Eternal Yesterday, Between Us, or Utsukushii Kare/My Beautiful Man?

MADE IN JAPAN

INOUE SORA

KOMIYA RIO

[firepony67]

I finally started watching Eternal Yesterday, despite the fact that I know it’s going to destroy me 😭

The underlying threat that Eien no Kino / Eternal Yesterday is secretly a metaphoric story about the terminal illness of a loved one, instead of ho.rny zombie-demon discovering new powers with his loner boyfriend.

(don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful no matter where they go with it. One route is just way more painful)

BAM (BEAUTIFUL ASIAN MEN) meets AN APPRECIATION POST

Honoree: NIIHARA TAISUKE

Is art imitating life? Well not exactly but...

Taisuke has began a lead role in a BL called 25 JI, AKASAKA DE or AT 25:00 in AKASAKA playing SHIRASAKI YUKI.

Me personally I'm so thrilled for this young man. He has a lot of credits on his MDL page

However they are guest roles and support roles and that's definitely nothing to be ashamed of but his talent is leading man material regardless of the genre.

I watched him in support roles in 2 other BL's EIEN NO KINO (ETERNAL YESTERDAY) as well as SENPAI DANJITE KOIDEWA (SENPAI, THIS CAN'T BE LOVE) and even there his star power was apparent.

I hope all BL audiences or JBL audiences blows this up with support. I hope this is worth supporting because this actor definitely deserves it.

Taisuke plays Shirasaki Yuki along side Komagine Kiita, he plays Hayama Asami

Micchan is very warm.

[distant-screaming]

mitsuru has a complicated relationship with rain.

sometimes, when it's about to rain, you get an ache in your knee or maybe your hip or maybe your head. it's like a greeting, like a reminder - hello, hi, it's me. the rain. I'm here. bring your umbrella (or don't, if you're the kind of person who likes splashing in the rain). remember how the rain felt when you were ten years old? it's still the same. it hasn't changed. it never will. it already has. don't forget about me. be happy.

there's an old story you might've heard - rain has always existed, and it always will. it is water and life and the law of the world. there are always clouds - sometimes you can see them, and sometimes you can't. but they're always there, like the memories of a lover long gone.

and sometimes the rain comes and it's cold and wet and everything is damp and it's so frustrating you just want to lie under your blankets and maybe cry for a bit and fall asleep like that, tear tracks drying on your face. sometimes, the rain is pretty and comforting and familiar and you hum to yourself as you waltz around the room all alone. and sometimes the rain is just that. rain. you wake up and it's there.

there's an old story you might've head - rain washes away sins. it cleanses you of your guilt, remakes you into a new person for when the sun shines next. but the story also says the rain brings secrets. it drums them against your roof and walls and hands and lets them wash away after. it's better to let it go - the rain isn't meant to be contained.

sometimes -

no, not quite.

every single time, when it's about to rain, mitsuru dreams about a boy named koichi.

Guess who’s watching episode three of Eternal Yesterday yet again?

It’s maybe my favorite standalone episode of any drama, and definitely my favorite confession scene, even managing to beat out Kiyoi’s tearful, furious eruption from My Beautiful Man. I’ve even come fully around to the kiss. 

I just love everything about it: Koichi’s obvious desire to make the trip fun for Mitsuru in spite of his clear reluctance, Mitsuru’s skittering glances at Koichi whenever he isn’t paying attention, everything coming to a head in the tent followed by Mitsuru bolting, Koichi following, and both of them confessing, the way Koichi’s hands shake when he reaches up to grasp Mitsuru’s shoulders...the way that soft, tentative first kiss floors both of them, and how happy they are that they now know they both feel the same. 

I just adore them so much.
