君子報仇 延遲閱讀，十年未晚！

十幾年前買咗呢本書但從冇將佢由頭到尾連續讀完過…直到先排！而今晚終於畀我睇完嘞！好開心終於可以對自己有所交代！(⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠) 亦都可以話我總算喺呢本書上冇嘥到錢！(笑)

當時買呢本書時係全因為畀當年嘅日劇 《新參者》 影響到。多得嗰齣劇我先對東野圭吾呢位作家嘅作品開始多留意幾眼。之前雖然都有同佢嗰個 《嫌疑犯X的獻身》 嘅作品接觸過，又好鍾意嗰齣福山雅治主演翻拍戲，但係只係睇咗 《新參者》 之後我先開始真正欣賞到東野先生嘅作品。

睇我呢本書嘅封面都可以估到同查得我到底幾時買到呢本小說㗎啦！(笑) 除咗呢本之外，我仲有多幾本東野先生嘅作品，當然包括 《新參者》 在內。但係，當時多數係一時衝動～當年冇得選擇，想讀由日文翻譯過嘅東野作品，就只有中文翻譯版可揀～先買咗咁多嘅嘞（東野當時係喺日本同其他東亞洲國家最紅嘅時期嘛…雖然已經以作家嘅身份出道好多年嘞～呢本 《沉睡的森林》 亦都係佢其中最早嘅作品之一，故仔期間係發生喺80年代，而睇下出版日期亦都係1989年初印），但憑我嗰時嘅中文水準，真係冇信心可以順利睇完一本實質嘅小說…結果一年拖一年，買咗都係嚟擺靚㗎！(笑) 咁多年嚟，冇抖過幾次！(囧)

而家仔細睇翻封面先留意到，封面上嘅描述詞有啲好笑添！「獵犬般的名偵探」…「《新參者》 帥哥刑事過往大公開！」…「獵犬般」 就可以講得通，但係 「帥哥」就有啲誇張啩？(笑) 講到底，我哋嘅刑警靚唔靚仔完全都（應該）係要靠讀者嘅想像力先嚟決定嘛！唔係咩？(笑) 睇嚟，寫出呢段簡介嘅人太畀���部 寬（演飾偵探加賀恭一郎嘅演員）受到影響嘞！亦都對佢有啲偏心眼喎！雖然話我都覺得阿部 寬真係幾靚仔嘅！(笑)

總之，睇完咗呢本 《沉睡的森林》，而家唔單止想繼續睇埋其他擁有嘅幾本，我忽然間又好想再睇返當年所睇過嘅電視翻拍劇！嗰次嘅翻拍版本仲有我當時所鍾意嘅寶塚歌劇團嘅演員添！但係而家好似好難搵得返囉！(⁠｡⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠) 而家諗起，今年啱啱係呢齣翻拍嘅十年週年喎…有咁耐嘞！(⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠！真係似水流年呀！

tamanyan h46mode uni excerpt

"i couldn't [as in, would not be able to, due to one's own volition - i will not allow myself to] say something like 'it's difficult' in such a blessed environment"

the schedules during the 'shinzanmono' rehearsal period were very challenging. after we finished the fukuoka leg of the 2023 happy train tour, the following morning, i flew back to tokyo and went to university straightaway, and right after that, i attended the shinzanmono rehearsals....... every day was hectic, but enjoyable.

everybody in the 4th generation was facing forward with the same feelings, and, despite the rehearsals that went on for a long time, there wasn't a single person who let up [become less intense; relax one's efforts], which made me believe that i shouldn't be complaining feebly either. that atmosphere reminded me of club activities, where everyone's doing their best with a feeling of "we absolutely HAVE to win this!", which is youth! once practice was over, all of us gathered in a circle and we reviewed the day's rehearsal, going like "today, this thing didn't go smoothly, which is why we should do it like this tomorrow", and this strengthened our will, as well as our bonds.

and once again, i realized just how blessed i am. i'm sure that there have been senpais who've had to give up taking up higher education. in comparison, [this is something that is able to happen now, also thanks to their past efforts] i'm able to be a member of hinatazaka46, while going to university, while my manager-san is working with all their might to put together a schedule [which would be able to accommodate going to university, along with everything else that is expected of an idol] too, while having a family that supports me, as well. i wouldn't be able to say something like "it's difficult" in such a blessed environment! i don't know how many years it will take, but i want to do my best and definitely end up graduating from university, someday.

"Kataru Nara Miraiwo..." by Keyakizaka46, as performed by the third generation of Sakurazaka46, at Shinzanmono, Dec. 3, 2023

The third-generation members of Sakurazaka performed "Kataru Nara Miraiwo...," a 2017 B-side from the group's days as Keyakizaka, as their very last song for their very last scheduled performance in Shinzanmono. The 10-day program featured live shows performed by each of the three Sakamichi groups whose line-ups were made up exclusively of their respective latest generations.

Since their reformation in 2020, Sakurazaka46 has laid to rest their older songs from their days as Keyakizaka. To date, the group has reserved those songs from that past era for a special occasion, performed mostly at a show dedicated to a graduating member who was active during those days. A presence of a Keyaki song in a live set has become increasingly symbolic, especially now that only two members from the first of its generation remain in the current line-up: it grants a rare moment for the group to look back at their own history, in particular a period they've swore to never return to.

But this revisit of "Kataru Nara Miraiwo…" marks a different, new occasion. The clip you see above doesn't include the intro speech given by Miu Murayama that really prefaces the choices made by the third gen to perform a Keyaki song and this Keyaki song in particular. To swear their commitment to follow the legacy built by their predecessors, they picked a song demanding, "if you're going to talk, talk about the future." They give it their all singing lyrics entirely dedicated to how dwelling on what came before is meaningless and looking forward is instead the right and only way.

How Keyaki is that? As shown by those who came before them, the third-gen understands to revere their own legacy means staying irreverent to the past and focus instead on what lies ahead. If they got what it takes to fulfill it is another story, but this performance is a promise to eradicate the previous generation and their successes, for that's what those who left would have wanted. They're doing right by the texts passed down from those of who built the group -- a text they are of the first generation not to have been around for in real time to truly feel its meaning. It's one of the best live performances I've seen in recent memory.

Kiken na Venus | Dangerous Venus Stars: Tsumabuki Satoshi, Yoshitaka Yuriko This is based off a novel by best-selling author Higashino Keigo, whose works had been the basis for cult classics Shinzanmono, Byakuyakou, Ryusei no Kizuna and Galileo (as well as a whole bunch of movies). The reviews for the book is somewhat mixed - some enjoyed it a lot, and spoke of the "Venus" in the title as an analogy for human infatuation with their obsessions - which could be anything. Some felt the twist at the end came out of nowhere and the overall story was unexciting. I went into this for Tsumabuki - I always had a good impression of him, although I can't think of why since I don't think I've actually watched many of his movies. He is very natural and endearing on variety shows. Once the camera rolls, though, it's easy to see why Nino said he had always wanted to work with Tsumabuki. Teshima isn't a very likeable character - he's sleazy, indecisive, easily influenced, not steadfast in his beliefs, somewhat immature in his reading and judgement of social interactions. In a way, he's a man who has never really grown up past his childhood trauma and his difficult years in a home that never accepted him, but at the same time, he also didn't take any steps to make the situation better for himself. In a way he's symptomatic of the modern era - he has accepted the role of a victim, and instead of growing stronger so he can leave it behind, he carries it everywhere with him and pities himself. This is where Tsumabuki's impressive interpretation comes in. He actually makes this weak-willed guy likeable. The way he has his small temper explosions at the rest of his "family", the way he looks at Yoshitaka with fascination and suspicion, and the way he looks simultaneously embarrassed and proud of himself as he takes a stance. It's the subtlety that says "I know my vices, I know I might be being reckless or immature or gullible, and I guess I deserve what's coming". It's not something that all actors can pull off and he manages it with ease. Yoshitaka's role surprised me because I half expected her to be a femme fatale by the title, but she is her usual cute self - and perhaps that makes it more realistic for a man to feel like he needs to be the hero and protect her. Certainly but Tsumabuki and Yoshitaka are now big screen veterans, and it's such a pleasure watching their expressions shift subtly with the exchanges and interactions. By contrast, Fujioka Dean's acting comes across as much more exaggerated. Fortunately he's in a rather exaggerated villain role so it's less of an issue. I do recommend this, but I think revenge dramas are not overly popular these days and it's ratings will probably stay around 11%. Shichinin no Hisho | The seven secretaries Stars: Kimura Fumino et co Coming from the team who produced the unrealistically idealised Doctor X series, this appears to be a drama about a group of serving and former secretaries in a number of important organisations who band together and...it's not entirely clear what they do. They use unusual methods to ensure that society runs smoothly? They quietly remove all evidence of adultery? They stop other secretaries committing suicide? It's smoothly produced and led by a number of beautiful women in what appears to be quite strong and smart roles, but (perhaps not entirely unexpected from the Doctor X team), the first episode stumbles a bit in establishing what exactly their motivations are. The idea of top secretaries from big companies/corporations/government organisations doing cover-ups and tampering with evidence and trying to access confidential information, while not extraordinary, would be the start of many a conspiracy theory and I think it's important to establish quickly that these secretaries are doing it for a good cause, doing it out of their own volition, and are not being controlled by some dark schemeing hand. It's an easy watch but I really hope the team doesn't fall down the pit of Legal V where the characters just became annoying caricatures who never grew and were always in the right, even when they were doing something highly questionable.

Hal yang Saya Pelajari dari Film Shinzanmono (2010)

Halo temen-temen, mungkin ini tulisan pertama saya yang agak lumayan panjang dari sekian lama saya gak pernah nulis lagi di platform ini. Dari tulisan ini saya berharap bisa berbagi tentang hikmah yang saya dapat dari film yang saya tonton. Berhubung kita semua masih harus diam di rumah, semoga diamnya kita, membuat kita tetap bergerak menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik hari demi hari yaa. Ya minimal dari hikmah yang kita dapat, bisa menggerakan hati kita untuk terus cenderung pada kebaikan.

Sekilas tentang film Shinzanmono

Jadi, film ini berupa drama series yang sebenernya diangkat dari Novel dengan judul yang sama karya Keigo Higashino. Shinzanmono bercerita tentang beberapa detektif Polisi yang sedang menyelidiki kasus pembunuhan seorang perempuan paruh baya di Nihonbasi, Tokyo, Jepang. Sebagaimana kasus-kasus kriminal pada umumnya, para detektif harus mencari tahu siapa pelaku pembunuhan dan atas dasar apa (motif) pelaku melakukan perbuatannya.

Film ini diperankan oleh beberapa orang diantaranya Hiroshi Abe sebagai Kyōichirō Kaga (Tokoh utama detektif Polisi), Meisa Kuroki sebagai Ami Aoyama (Wartawan amatir dan kekasih dari anak korban), Osamu Mukai sebagai Kōki Kiyose (Anak dari korban), Junpei Mizobata sebagai Shūhei Matsumiya (Detektif polisi), Yuichi Kimura sebagai Kazumichi Kojima (Kepala detektif polisi), Takashi Sasano sebagai Yosaku Kishida (Teman dekat dan konsultan pajak perusahaan dari suami korban), Mieko Harada sebagai Mineko Mitsui (korban), Tomokazu Miura as Naohiro Kiyose (Suami korban) dan Izumiya Shigeru sebagai Ueshugi Hiroshi (Detektif polisi).

Film ini sangat unik, sebab dalam 10 episode yang penuh drama, saya pribadi dibuat salah menebak siapa pelaku pembunuhan sebenarnya. Kalian semua juga harus nonton film ini, sungguh detail-detail ceritanya itu keren dan banyak pelajaran yang bisa didapat terutama yang berkaitan dengan hukum.

Singkat cerita, Mineko Mitsui ditemukan terbunuh di rumahnya tak lama dari ia bercerai dengan suaminya, Naohiro Kiyose. Naohiro adalah seorang direktur utama dari perusahaannya sendiri yang bergerak pada bidang jasa kebersihan. Mereka bercerai karena istrinya menduga Naohiro berselingkuh dengan seorang wanita muda yang dijadikannya sebagai sekretaris pribadi yang hubungannya begitu dekat melebihi dari hubungan profesional. Belakangan, wanita muda itu diketahui sebagai anak kandungnya dari hubungannya dengan pacar pertamanya dulu yang ia tak tahu bahwa dari hubungannya menghasilkan seorang anak perempuan. Drama-drama sisipan dari cerita utamanya ini lumayan bikin saya jadi amaze haha.

Sejak awal, kebanyakan detektif dari kantor kepolisian mencurigai suaminya ini sebagai pembunuhnya, sebab kejadian perceraian mereka bisa dianggap sebagai motif. Namun ternyata bukan dialah pembunuh sebenarnya. Kyōichirō Kaga sebagai detektif yang bertanggung jawab atas kasus ini bekerja dengan sangat baik mengungkap kasus ini.

Ungkapan Cinta kepada Keluarga yang Salah

Pada episode ke-7 cerita tentang Kazuhiro Uesugi muncul. Ia adalah anak laki-laki dari detektif Hiroshi Uesugi yang meninggal karena kecelakaan motor tunggal. Sebelum meninggal, ia pernah tertangkap Polisi karena mengendarai motor padahal belum memiliki surat izin mengemudi. Wajar saja, sebab ia masih di bawah umur untuk bisa memilikinya. 

Ayahnya menjenguk dirinya di kantor kepolisian dan meminta polisi yang bertugas untuk melepaskan anaknya dan menganggap kasusnya tak pernah terjadi. Hal ini ia lakukan karena mencintai anaknya. Ia ingin anaknya lepas dari jeratan hukum dan sambil berharap reputasinya sebagai detektif polisi tetap baik karena tidak ada keluarganya yang tersangkut kasus hukum. Padahal tindakan ini adalah tindakan yang sangat memalukan dari seorang polisi karena mempermainkan hukum dan keadilan. Tindakan yang kemudian ia sesali sepanjang sisa hidupnya.

Kazuhiro sering mengendarai sepeda motor sendiri walaupun belum memiliki surat izin sebab ia bergabung dengan geng motor lokal di wilayahnya. Setelah kejadian di kantor polisi tersebut, seluruh teman-temannya tahu bahwa ia adalah seorang anak detektif polisi yang bisa lolos hukum karena ayahnya. Hal yang membuatnya tak bisa keluar dari geng motor karena teman-temannya terus mengancam akan membongkar cerita itu bila ia keluar dari geng motor itu. Akhirnya ia tetap berkendara di jalan bersama teman-temannya demi melindungi reputasi ayahnya. Hal yang kemudian membunuh dirinya sendiri.

Hiroshi sangat bersedih atas kematian anaknya. Kecelakaan yang ia anggap sebagai pembunuhan, ya, sebagai ayah ia telah membunuh anaknya sendiri, secara tidak langsung. Orang yang sangat ia cintai. Ia berandai-andai, bila saja saat ditangkap polisi ia tak melindungi anaknya, kecelakaan tersebut pasti tidak terjadi. Tak seharusnya ia melindungi kesalahan anaknya sendiri. Bukan begitu caranya melindungi anak tercintanya. Ia menyesal seumur hidup, merasa telah gagal menjadi seorang ayah.

Mencari Pelaku Pembunuhan Sebenarnya

Mineko Mitsui ditemukan terbunuh dengan bekas luka jeratan pada lehernya. Beruntung bekas lukanya masih dapat terlihat dengan jelas sehingga polisi dapat merekonstruksi benda apa yang menjerat korban--sebab di tempat kejadian perkara tidak ditemukan apapun yang diduga digunakan untuk membunuhnya. Detail-detailnya dianalisis, mulai dari benda apa yang dipakai untuk menjerat, jenisnya higga ukurannya.

Detektif Kyōichirō Kaga sangat berhati-hati menentukan siapa pelakunya. Ia tak ingin terburu-buru menyimpulkan siapa pembunuhnya. Ia terus mengumpulkan keterangan banyak pihak, menelusuri koridor dan tempat-tempat yang mungkin dikunjungi oleh pelaku dan mencoba mencari barang yang digunakan untuk membunuh Mineko.

Melindungi Anak adalah Motif Pelaku melakukan Pembunuhan

Setelah melalui proses penyelidikan yang panjang pelaku sebenarnya diketahui. Ia adalah Yosaku Kishida, teman dekat keluarga Naohiro Kiyose yang juga sebagai konsultan pajak kepercayaan perusahaan Naohiro. Hal yang tak pernah terduga oleh banyak pihak. Tak ada satupun alasan yang diketahui untuk mencurigai yang bersangkutan sampai kemudian detektif Kyōichirō Kaga membongkarnya.

Saat berkunjung ke kediaman Asami Kishida, putra dari Yosaku, detektif  Kyōichirō menemukan gangsing tradisional milik anaknya. Berulang kali ia diminta oleh anaknya Asami untuk memutar gangsing tersebut, namun terus gagal. Padahal ia merasa cukup handal untuk memainkan gangsing. Belakangan diketahui bahwa gangsing ini adalah pemberian dari kakeknya. Dan sejak pertama kali diberikan padanya, tak pernah sekalipun gangsing tersebut berhasil dimainkan.

Tidak mungkin gangsing rusak sehingga tidak bisa lagi diputar, apalagi gangsing tersebut masih sangat bagus kondisi fisiknya. Ternyata, bukan rusak, tapi gangsing tersebut diputar oleh tali yang salah, bukan tali sebenarnya yang jadi pasangan gasing itu. Pertanyaannya, di manakah tali pasangan asli gasing tersebut? Hal ini yang membuat detektif Kyōichirō curiga hingga ia berusaha menelusuri semua toko mainan di kota untuk mengetahui dari mana gangsing itu berasal dan bagaimana bentuk tali pasangannya.

Ia berhasil menemukan dari mana gangsing itu berasal. Ternyata, tali pasangannya adalah tali yang mirip dengan karakteristik tali yang dipakai untuk membunuh Mineko. Dari sinilah akhirnya Yosaku berhasil diketahui sebagai pembunuhnya.

Apa motifnya? Diketahui bahwa Yosaku Kishida membunuh Mineko Mitsui--orang yang sebenarnya dekat dengan pelaku--karena Mineko mengetahui ada yang tidak beres terkait keuangan perusahaan mantan suaminya. Ia satu-satunya orang yang sadar tentang ketidak beresan tersebut. Hal yang kemudian membuat Yosaku tersudutkan, mengapa? Sebab Yosaku-lah yang telah menggelapkan uang perusahaan itu. 

Uang perusahaan ia gunakan untuk membantu anaknya yang sedang mengalami kesulitan dengan usahanya, terlilit hutang dan untuk memenuhi gaya hidup anaknya yang mewah. Ia terpaksa membunuh Mineko agar kejahatannya tidak terbongkar. Kejahatan satu mendorongnya melakukan kejahatan lainnya, demi melindungi anaknya, karena kecintaannya pada anaknya.

naonaoblog snippet about yamagrad

a few days ago, mizuki-san's graduation was announced.

when it was announced that i had gotten sick and wouldn't be able to participate in the jingu stop of the national summer tour, mizuki-san sent me a kind message, which, at the time, really saved me.

even though mizuki-san was really busy, she always made time to come see the lives of the sakamichi groups, the under live and the 5th generation's shinzanmono alike, so i really respect her and i remember wanting to get as close to her as possible.

before i joined nogizaka, i heard mizuki-san talking about the painful times she experienced prior to being a member, which made me realize that there are girls in nogizaka who've had a hard time before becoming members [of the group], but [despite that,] they're now shining so brightly...

that episode was one of the reasons why i decided to audition for nogizaka.

i'd like to cherish the remaining time i have with mizuki-san, and do my best for the 35th single.
