My 2020 in K dramas (+1 J drama)

I began watching k-dramas in 2018 but I’ve never watched as many shows, Korean or otherwise, as I have in this one. 2020 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I think what helps me really enjoy this over Bollywood+Malayalam+ American pop culture I grew up with is that a smirk on the wrong character’s face doesn’t make me seethe with rage and want to burn everything down. It’s not like growing up with SRK on screen and then having SRK wannabes leave you with lifelong trauma in reality. I can just move on. It’s removed enough from my everyday life but still familiar in a generic Asian family way. Does that make sense? It’s not perfect and it’s not free of its own harmful stereotypes and narratives, but there’s enough of the good stuff to make you stick around. This year I fell in love with Nana, Kim Hye Soo, Han Yeri, Park Eun bin, Ahn Eun jin, Kim Bum, Kim Yong ji, Flower Boy’s Go Dok Mi and Search:WWW’s Bae Tami. Cancelled Ji Chang wook (bye). Desperately missed Kim Jae Wook. Had thoughts on Hwang In Yeop, which were mostly heart eyes. Discovered J dramas and fell in love with Cherry Magic’s Adachi.

My year-in-review below:

LOVED

Into The Ring - I am so glad I saved this for a rainy day because it’s exactly the kind of upright citizen shenanigans my unemployed ass needed at the end of the year.

Goo Se Ra thinks the govt should work for the people but that doesn’t mean her own moral compass always points north. Her purpose is to make steady money, and I love seeing her go hard to survive and cobble together what she needs. The thing that really works for me is that she wants to be good, but she isn’t always. And you get to see her be disappointed, upset, embarrassed and hurt from being publicly kicked in the gut as she navigates a job where she appears, on the surface, to be a supremely confident, self-serving, accidental politician. What you see as her naiveté is mostly just her being a regular person in an environment dictated by backhand deals and rich people politics. She gets hit again and again, and you see what it does to her sense of worth to get back up again, how she grapples with her self. And through all this the show is funny?! Se Ra is what writers of manic pixie characters think they are doing and not doing at all. Love her friends, and Jang Hye-jin is *chef’s kiss*!

Hyena - Kim Hye Soo’s Jung Geum Ja is perhaps Se Ra’s older and darker contemporary.  Geum Ja is a survivor and will get what she wants and where she wants to, however many hells she has to cross. She’s single-minded about her success, ruthless and has no qualms about bending morals to get the outcome she needs. She’ll never compromise on who she is or justify how she lives, can build people up and also tear them down, but she also knows care and kindness.

I turned to Signal for more Kim Hye Soo but was disappointed in how the first few episodes seemed to shortchange her. May try again in 2021.

(Highly recommend @saltr0se​’s  fic series which just GETS Geum Ja so well. Fic writers are the best)

Search: WWW (Finished in 2020) - It took me half a year to finish this. I started watching Search in Oct 2019 and raced through the first 6 episodes because I couldn’t take my eyes off the rollercoaster of Bae Tami’s life. And then I had to take a break because it was a little too close to the frenetic pace of my own industry. As @drivingsideways wrote, a lot of Search is premised around ‘patriarchy? who dat?’, which is why watching its politics play out is so fascinating.  It’s also deliciously turmoil-y to watch a very clear-sighted, weathered Tami put on rose-tinted glasses for her romance and then frequently peer over them to evaluate whether it could actually meld into her life.

Catch The Ghost - Kim Seonho oozes charm and perhaps Startup was a showcase of how effectively he can be a typical male lead. But Catch is exactly not that. Go Jiseok and Yoo Ryeong have moulded their lives around to meet their most desperate wishes in life and in the process also left parts of themselves untended. There is guilt, pain and need. Now guess who will tend to whose wounds? Their dynamic is electric even when the central mystery flags towards the last few episodes of the show. I really hope Moon Geun Young is doing well and gets more amazing roles soon. She is so good here.

(Highly recommend @melonatures​‘s fic for putting that sizzling on-screen chemistry into words. HOW?!) Cherry Magic - Stories about painfully awkward people are my jam and Eiji Akaso gets Adachi’s shy, nervy energy so right. Cherry Magic is straight up just 12 hours of 🥺🥺🥺. 

Stranger/Secret Forest - I’ve been devouring the entirety of Agatha Christie’s work this year after Stranger reminded me how comforting murder mysteries can be. I love Bae Doona. I also love characters who don’t get social norms, not always because they are out to flout them but because that’s just not how their mind/brain works. (have to watch S2)

Flower Boy Next Door -  Honestly, the opening scene introducing Park Shin Hye’s character Go Deok Mi sold me on this immediately. An introverted, penny pinching copy editor living alone and working from home thanks to extreme social anxiety? Love. All the side characters are a lot of fun and I’ve never loved Kim Seulgi and Go Kyung Pyo more. It’s a warm show, slowly rounding off the sharp edges of every character.

JUST FUN

The Spies Who Loved Me -  It’s been a year of disappointing rom-coms and Spies kind of quietly turned it around for me. I want to be the fly on Yoo In Na’s wall as she figures how to play her characters. I’ve only seen her in 3 roles but somehow she always manages to be in character arcs that don’t short change her. Spies could’ve been and sometimes is the regular heterosexual fare, but In Na ups the ante over and over again, coming out on top as the smartest person in the room.

ENJOYED WITH *RESERVATIONS*

I have to watch A Piece Of Your Mind again because I don’t understand how Jung Hae In and Chae Soo bin built SO MUCH warmth and crackling chemistry with barely a kiss. I was iffy about how the whole AI thing started off and the tortured musician plotline (angsty male artists will forever be an eyeroll for me).

Park Min Young is a queen who never disappoints and When The Weather Is Nice is everything you want in a winter romance. My reservation was in how they explore so much of domestic abuse and the complex ways its traumatised the women in this family. I’m ok with the characters having imperfect ways of processing and understanding the violence, I welcome it. I’m not ok with the show dancing around whether the pivotal crime was justified/ self defence (it was).

A lot of dramas did this. I loved Han Yeri and Choo Ja Hyun in My Unfamiliar Family, I didn’t like the free pass the show gave their dad’s abusive character. 

Hwang Jung Eum’s comedy style is generally not my thing but she was pretty great in Mystic Pop-UP Bar. But I’m side-eyeing the sanctity surrounding motherhood. Maybe I should read more about babies and Korean folklore.

Hospital Playlist was my comfort watch through June and July. I think its wholesomeness and non-plot writing came at a good time for me. But I noticed then that the throughline for all main characters was moral superiority and hence what I then saw as *wholesomeness*. It’s kind of what makes it a grating rewatch in parts. Plus the real life of misogyny of Yoo Yeon Seok makes me want to push his angelic catholic character off a cliff. (For context, i was raised catholic). I want to continue loving Chae Song Hwa, and for that the showrunners need to stop cornering her with overbearing romantic interests (let that woman breathe! she literally ran away to another city!) 

Hospital is good at creating moments of comfort, so much so that I went to watch Reply 1988 after it, but had to drop it coz I couldn’t get into it. Maybe I’ll come back to it next year.

Once Again is what I call joint family propaganda. What it does well is lay bare the mechanics of living in a society that prizes the heterosexual family structure, the loops you have to jump through to hide when you break its rules and what happens when you are found out. I love the characters, their fights, their frustrations. I just don’t love the validation of joint families. (context: i grew up in an oppressive joint family lol). In my au, Nahee and Gyujin don’t get married again or immediately have children, but take the long route to figuring out how to love the person the other is. Gahee is openly dating Hyo shin and her parents have to figure out how to process her success and her romance. Young dal and Ok boon have to learn to stop dictating their children’s lives.  Joon sun runs his company from home, so his wife Hyun kyung can work on what she wants. Choyeon, Joori and Ga-yeon go back to being flamboyant AF and the market learns to not judge. Gyujin and Jaesok have to actually work on the relationship with their mother and what sent her into depression. Just a lot of learning involved.

Just Between Lovers was a nice watch, i just don’t get how Kang doo and Ha Moon So’s relationship will survive his constantly simmering anger. 

Crash Landing on You was so much fun until the main romance turned angsty, but it gave us North Korean soldier shenanigans and the epic romance of Seo Dan and Alberto Gu that we needed more of.

Tale of The Nine Tailed is probably what Goblin wished it was. I, however, will never be over Lee Rang. (Also, when can gods stop meeting their love interests as babies? Asking for my sanity)

I literally ignored everything in Oh My Ghost except Park Bo Young and Kim Seulgi and it was amazing. 

NOPE

Goblin, Dinner Mate, Oh My Baby and My Secret Romance were a whole lot of NO, NAHI, ILLAAA. 

I loved hate-watching The King:Eternal Monarch with the rest of k drama tumblr but someone please take away Kim Eun-sook’s access to gigantic budgets and all-star casts.

It was painful to watch Do You Like Brahms squander away its potential but I’m glad to be introduced to Park Eun bin. Age of Youth is next on watchlist.

More than Friends to me is only Ahn Eun jin. Someone give her amazing lead roles asap.

Why did Record of Youth do that to Park So Dam and her clothes? Just why

WANTED TO WATCH, BUT COULDN’T BECAUSE *INTENSE* 

World Of The Married, It’s Okay Not To Be Okay, Sweet Home, Extracurricular, Penthouse, Flower of Evil, Lie After Lie

WILL WATCH NEXT YEAR

SF8, Stove League, Birth Care Centre but I’ll start the new year with School Nurse Files coz it looks very good.

Ok, but Alastor being an old man that doesn’t know technology being boyfriend’s with a Victorian man that taught himself how to craft lasers and code *his own damn ship computer/pocket watch phone* is so damn hilarious. Pentious tries to teach him how to use a mobile phone and he either locks himself out of the damn thing or he presses too hard on the screen and ends up skewering the damn thing with his talons.

HONESTLY. HONESTLY in the sequel to CDIH I plan on doing so much with the fact that Sir Pent is keeping up and Alastor ain’t.

Like. Like just picture. Alastor gets dragged kicking and screaming into using ~modern technology~. Once he has been dragged into using ~modern technology~, by golly, he’s going to use it to have some fun! He’s going to decide he wants to watch music videos on YouTube, which is a web site that he has heard exists. He is going to go to the URL bar. He’s going to type in “http:\\www.google.com”, he’s going to look at it thoughtfully, he’s going to squint at the two different slash keys on the keyboard, he’s going to leave the room to ask somebody which direction the slash is supposed to tilt if you are trying to go to Google Dot Com—

“you’re sure that’s the direction the slash mark is supposed to tilt SPECIFICALLY to go to GOOGLE DOT COM?” “yes, I know what I’m doing,” “no, you don’t need to come help me,” “no, I am PERFECTLY capable of going to Google Dot Com without you holding my hand, I was the king of the airwaves back before most Americans HAD radios, if I could handle the radio I can CERTAINLY handle an overpromoted typewriter, THANK you”

—and then he’s going to go back to the computer and delete the entire URL by clicking “delete” 21 separate times, he’s going to retype it as “http://www.google.com”, and then he is going to click enter.

(And please… if this is how slow and difficult it is for him to navigate to google, imagine how much time and effort someone must have spent to slowly teach him how to turn on a computer, how to open a web browser, what a web browser is for, how to highlight the address bar in order to type in a URL, what an address bar IS…)

And then he is going to click in the search bar on Google Dot Com, and he is going to type in “Hello! How do I reach You Tube?” and he is going to puzzle over the little square that says “I’m Feeling Lucky” for a moment before deciding, no, perhaps he doesn’t feel lucky today, and he’ll click on the little square that says “Google Search,” and google is going to be like,

An actual link to YouTube does not appear anywhere on the first page of results. Alastor is lost. He’s adrift at sea with no sign of shore. He will never find his way to YouTube.

He looks at the little list of tabs up top like,

and he dubiously clicks on Videos, because yes, the You-Tube he has been shown had videos, that’s kind of its thing. And the results are like,

And he very dubiously clicks on the first one.

First it plays an ad—oh, he succeeded, he found a video!—and then it plays another ad, Alastor has no ad block, the concept of “ad block” does not exist anywhere within his understanding of the universe, and then it starts playing what looks like an old black and white movie like,

Oh it’s a picture show! He found a picture show on the Internet! How wonderful! He doesn’t recognize the movie but it’s in black and white, it must have been made in his time—

And then a minute and twenty seconds into the video it FINALLY starts playing music and he’s like I DID IT I FOUND THE MUSIC VIDEOS I WAS PROMISED. He pats himself on the back, he’s great at using modern technology, he’s got this all figured out.

He’s got a little yellow pad and pencil he keeps next to the computer to jot down the “Internet addresses” of songs he likes so that he can type them into the “Internet address bar” when he wants to watch them or listen to them again later. He’s found that you have to write them down fast, even though they’re very long, because when the song ends it will move right on to the next one—just like the radio when a song ends—so if you dawdle it will vanish and you’ll never find the song again!

Guess what feature Alastor hasn’t noticed exists and doesn’t know he can turn off.

Guess what other features Alastor doesn’t know about.

Making an account so he can save videos.

Back buttons to go back to a song if he missed the URL.

The controls on a video.

If Alastor likes a song and wants to hear it twice, he clicks on the search bar and types in the whole URL one letter at a time and clicks enter to get it to re-load and play again.

And he’s got no control over this mad unhinged machine that is the YouTube algorithm system, its autoplay is like a car with a brick held down on the gas and nobody holding the steering wheel, it’s just taking Alastor wherever the fuck it wants and if it starts ducking into weird fucking videos Alastor is just going to assume that that’s how YouTube works, it’s no different from the radio, sometimes you’re scheduled for music and sometimes you’re scheduled for ads and sometimes you’re scheduled for interviews or a talk show or news or whatever.

Which means eventually if he lets this untamed shambling A.I. behemoth keep careening around wherever it wants to go, it’s going to start meandering into the niche/weird stuff. EVENTUALLY it’s going to stumble onto something off of Sir Pentious’s channel, and he’s going to open up the video sounding like a Boomer trying to sound cool, like,

(I told the link to load at 5:33 but I think it’s not going to do that on tumblr, I know you all are capable of going to 5:33 yourself because y’all are five million times more competent with computers than Alastor is, just skip to that time ok cool thanks good job)

Video opens up on Sir Pent like that and Alastor is absolutely flabbergasted that Sir Pentious is on the You Tube and then Sir Pent’s like “so I broke into another church to take a joy ride on their pipe organ, per my last video this is the song all four of my followers requested for me to play!” and he takes off like,

and Sir Pent’s trying to sound cool, ends like “Sssmasssh those like and subscribe buttons if you’d like to sssee me illegally play someone else’s pipe organ! :>” and Alastor is sitting there going I HAVE NEVER WANTED TO SMASH ANYTHING SO MUCH IN MY LIFE BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THAT.

He’s so completely shocked and awed to see a video with Sir Pentious in it that he doesn’t even remember to write down the URL, which means he will never ever find the video again.

So: Sir Pent is extremely embarrassingly trying to sound Hip & Modern while playing a 22-year-old out-of-date meme song and he’s only got four followers… but like, but like, he KNOWS the Hip & Modern lingo; AND he knows how to make, edit, and upload YouTube videos and curate a YouTube channel; and he knows how to read the comments on his videos, at least minimally engage with viewers, and keep up with who’s following him…

And meanwhile Alastor doesn’t even know the comment section exists.

Sir Pentious only looks behind the times and out of date until he is compared with the alternative.

NOT SO SUBTLE

REQUESTED FOR: @www-imbored-com

SUMMARY- You and Drew have grown close filming season 1 of obx, you think you’re starting to love him and you think he likes you back because he is very touchy and he always makes sure he is sitting close to you.

⚠️WARNINGS⚠️: cussing.

A/N: this is just a bunch of fluff, happy reading :).

☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎ ☮︎

While filming season 1 of obx drew was one of the first people you got close with dont get me wrong you were friends with everyone and close with everyone but you and Drew’s friendship was a bit more then the others, you noticed how in the first month of filming season one Drew got a little flirty complimenting you every chance you got “wow that dress looks beautiful on you” which always led to you blushing. By the third month of filming he would open doors for you and always offering his water to you.

6 months into coming you guys held hands hugged and cuddled. In public the people who didn’t know you guys thought y’all were dating but you were not you never went on dates and he never asked you to be his girlfriend. Of course you hung out outside of filming but it was mostly with the group every now and then you two would go out alone.

Currently you were on set filming season 2 you had already done your scenes for the day but decided to stay back just in case they needed you to help or, or help madelyn take pictures and funny videos for tomfoolery, “hey did I show you the photo of Drew I took this morning in the trailers?” Madelyn asked after taking a photo of the sunset with the silhouettes of the pogues in the background looking like shadows “no, but now you said it I need to see it” you said she handed her camera over flicking to the photo and there it was Drew practically passed out in his breakfast burrito “oh my god that is gold he isn’t living that down ever”

Who isn’t living what down?” The man who uses a burrito as a pillow muses at you “oh nothing dearest drewseph” Maddie said laughing and putting her camera away “how was your day?” You asked calming down from laughing so hard you barely saw him today “it was good I missed my lady around, oh did you drink enough water? And eat? I know how you get when you don’t eat food” Drew reprimanded but sweetly you rolled your eyes “yes Drew I ate food dont worry they beast is in hibernation from a food coma” you said Maddie and Drew laughed “ok good we don’t need you to break another window” Maddie said remembering how you were starving you all were but you had it the worst and were so mad at Rudy and chase for messing around you punched a window and broke it then immediately apologized for breaking a window and said you were just really hungry Austin walked to you and literally shoved a hamburger in your mouth and you were so quiet for 20 mins while you at his hamburger feeling so much better ever since then everyone makes sure you ate so you don’t end up splitting them in half.

“Yeah yeah I’ve gotten a lot better” “yeah because we all remind you to eat or shove food in your face” jonas walked over to the three of you “hey guys so we just need the pogues for the rest of the day so it’s a wrap on you guys if you wanted to go and stuff” Jonas said and walked off quickly to direct what’s happening next “I was thinking of going out to this lake where you can rent paddle boards and canoes and stuff, do y’all wanna come?” Drew asked “yeah that sounds like fun I’ve never been paddle boarding before” “I would but I promised I would help out around with everything you guys have fun tho” Maddie said you guys said goodbye and hopped into a car.

Once you arrived you immediately took a picture of the view because it was so beautiful “Drew this is beautiful, how did you find this?” You asked amazed “aww yanno just some tourist site thing” you walked up to the people at the booth for the paddle boards once you got the paddle boards you and Drew started to paddle in the lake “so am I your lady or is there a secret women I need to know about?” You asked Drew laughing “oh it’s definitely you but i dont know one of the set members dog looked really good today” you both bursted out laughing “you’re such an idiot” “oh yeah well can an idiot do this?” Drew questioned before throwing himself off the paddle board and doing a flip landing perfectly into the water.

“No I guess an idiot can’t do that, you’ve proved me wrong starkey im quite impressed” you said clapping for him “good because I’ve actually never done that before and just hoped it would look cool not gunna lie I was trying to impress you” Drew said getting slightly red “well you’ve succeeded tremendously” you said you guys continued talking and paddle boarding deciding to race you lossed tho because you fell into the water.

“Drew look at the view it’s soo pretty oh my god” you said taking out your phone and snapping a bunch of photos you stopped when you heard a camera shatter and looked at your phone confused since you put your silencer on so it wouldn’t disrupt your time with Drew you looked over and Drew is looking at his phone smiling then he showed you the photo it was of you in the paddle boat taking a photo of the view “should I post this and be basic and caption it “she thought the view was pretty but I thought she was prettier” ?” Drew asked making your laugh “oh of course I’m trying to turn you into a white girl that should be the first step” you said you sighed “thank you for saying I’m pretty” you blushed and looked down at your reflection in the lake you guys paddle board was side by side so it was easy for him to take his hand to your chin and make you look at him “youre so welcome, honestly you’ve made this whole experience so great and I just want to tell you that I love you a lot and uh do you want to officially be my lady?” You laughed but said yes and you guys kissed it got a little heated because of all the sexual tension that had been built up you had tongues in each other’s mouths your hands in his hair and his on your bare hips on of the paddle boards almost flipped “maybe we should head back to set, also we took the only car for them to get home in” you suggested drew nodded not being able to form words and off to set you went.

When you arrived you saw everyone waiting all in their normal clothes “dudes did you really kidnap my car?” Austin asked “I wouldn’t say “kidnap” I just borrowed it” drew said air quoting kidnap “whatever you’re not riding shot gun for that and neither are you Y/N” Austin said getting in the drivers side you shrugged “SHOTGUN” chase belted out him and JD made eye contact and JD touched the handle first and sat down “gotta be quicker then that” JD said to chase you rolled your eyes and got in the back Drew got in right after you and you both intertwined your hands together the rest piled into the car and off you went to the apartment buildings.

Once you got on the highway JD plugged his phone in the aux and played music Rudy, chase, and both maddies were singing so loudly you got a lot of confidence from no where and unbuckled your seat belt and straddled Drew’s lap “what are you doing?” He questioned wide eyed “you’ll see just go with it” you mumbled and then started to lean in he surprised you when he met you half way and you continued what you had stopped at the lake his hands were squeezing your ass making you want to moan but you didn’t and you tugged on his hair “uh guys ? Can you like I don’t know maybe not do that?” Rudy questioned looking at you guys he was seated right next to drew one of Drew’s hands moved from your ass and waving off rudy. His hand immediately went back to where it was you felt everyone’s eyes on y’all now Rudy groaned annoyed “Ok you can borrow my car from now on” Austin said chase turned the song louder hoping you would stop Madelyn and Madison laughed you heard Madison say “that explains his insta photo she said showing everyone that he did in fact post it madelyn decided to take a picture and video recording “hey guys you gonna come up for air? She asked you just flicked her off you could hear the video replaying “dude this is gunna be so good for tomfoolery”

You guys pulled up to the apartment but you wouldn’t know cause you were still making out with Drew his hands in your shirt this time and you leaving slight hickies on his neck then going back to his lips and pulling his hair making him lean to the side so you can get better accesses chase turned around when no one got out of the car “yo love birds we are here” chase called but you still didn’t move Madison giggled “wow” Madelyn pulled her phone out again and recorded knowing the look on Rudy’s face meant he was about to do something funny “ok that’s it” Rudy stated frustration obviously on his face and tone because he was squished two on one of his side and then both the maddies to his left side keeping him from getting out of the car “I’m fucking hungry and squishedl” he complained turning towards you and drew who were still kissing you felt a hand on your forehead and then suddenly you were being pulled apart from Drew you opened your eyes to see the same was being done with Drew you moved your eyes from Drew’s to Rudy who was literally pulling you apart by your face “we are here it’s time you stop so I can get out” Rudy said his tongue out so he can focus on pulling you apart once he was satisfied he looked at you since you were closest to the door “now get out so I can get out and get food before I lose my shit” you got out and thought drew would follow but he wasn’t fast enough for Rudy’s liking “oh fuck it” Rudy said before climbing over Drew’s lap and then running to his and chases apartment door.

“Yeah don’t mess with Rudy when he is hungry he gets mean” chase said “much like Y/N just not physical leash not yet” chase mumbled “I’m going to my house to watch tv and for Cheetos” JD said “wait I’m coming, everyone out of my car” Austin said catching up with JD drew got out of the car and came straight to you “I guess this is goodbye” he said sadly “yeah I think it is” you said back just as sad “oh my god you live in the same apartment building 3 doors down calm down” chase said going up the stairs Madison followed to get her shoes she left the night before madelyn still there laughing at the video she got of Rudy pulling you and drew apart.

You hugged drew and went in for another kiss, Madelyn had left by now leaving the two of you out there you both pulled apart and said your goodbyes “goodnight drew I’ll see you tomorrow” “goodnight my lady” drew said you went to move out of his embrace but couldn’t he was latched on you tapped his shoulder but only got a hmm “babe, you gotta let go” you said laughing “I did” “yeah for 2 seconds” you literally had to pull him away from you and turned him around and slightly shoved him in the direction of his house he went to come back to you which led you to turn around and run away from him “Drew I love you but if you hug me one more time I won’t let go” you shouted as you got further away from him you heard him laugh and went into your apartment with both maddie’s you heard your phone ding and saw drew texted you saying that he missed you.

Search WWW Episode 01-10 Review

This is going to be a long review, guys. After all, we are 10 episodes in.

This show is amazing. AMAZING. And if you are not watching it, I urge you to at least give it a try because the three leads are everything you want from Dreamland ladies. Everything from the set production to the surprising cameos, the writing, the acting and the fashion it’s so well thought that nothing is at miss on this show. Every detail enhances the experience. Some shows feel very much like tv drama, but some feel like a film and every episode is the new installment. Search WWW definitely belong to the latter category.

Bae Ta-mi (played wonderfully by Lim Soo-jung) is an incredibly first leading lady. She is strong, smart and kind, outgoing but guarded. Most importantly, she is at a point of her life where she knows herself and the things she wants, this doesn’t mean she’s not open to change but she will do it on her own terms. Whatever is running into an ex boyfriend (Lee Dong Wook!), starting a new relationship with a younger guy (Chang Ki Yong!) or changing her career path, she is more than willing to do her best in order to have no regrets. She doesn’t have to explain herself because everyone can see what she does it what matters, and yet she goes the extra mile to make herself clear knowing misunderstandings are inevitable when you are in a situation of power and have to make hard and fast decisions.

Ta-mi’s relationship with Park Morgan is sweet and straightforward but at the same time rather complex. She’s knows the age difference will inevitably play against them. Eve though Ta-mi is in her late 30s, unlike more conventional leading ladies, she has no wishes to get married and this has been a point of contention in all her past relationships. I respect it, if that’s what she wants for her life, good... but I can also understand where Morgan is coming from. His family life has hurt him, so he dreams of having a more conventional family unit than the one he has experience so far. He wants her to change for him, because of their love for each other, but why should she? Why can’t he change? At this point of the story I don’t see how they will be able to work things out in the long term but I hope they do because they are truly really good for each other.

Cha Hyun (badass Lee Da Hee) was instantly my favorite. She’s smart, outspoken and hardworking, takes no prisoners and stands up for herself... even if it means having a criminal record, which she does. But in all fairness it was for beating up a pervert who sexually harassed her. He had it coming.

Hyun’s relationship with Tami started as frenemies who respected each other professionally, but when they were forced to start working together you can see how with every episode they get to understand each other more and more. Building up a personal and profesional friendship where they grow to like each other, to have each other’s back.

She’s also a really sweet person, willing to go the extra mile for the people she cares about. Whatever is an old friend, a co-worker or even an unknown actor from her favorite drama (What’s wrong with My Mother in Law). Seeing her be a fangirl it’s one of the highlights of the show, mostly because she inevitably runs into said actor and unofficially becomes her number one fan and president of his fan club. Hyun’s scenes with Ji-Hwan (Lee Jae-wook) are some of the best in the entire drama for me, you can see they have feelings for each other. That he cares and respects her, that he’s waiting for her. It’s not like she hasn’t had relationships before but it seems like they were mostly superficial and this might be the real thing. I hope she takes the leap of faith!

The third leading lady of the story is Song Ga-gyung (veteran actor Jeon Hye-Jin). She is definitely one of the most complex characters in the series, unlike Ta-mi and Hyun who are open books, Ga-gyung is in a situation where it’s important that she keeps things to herself. Basically forced out of filial duty to a marriage of convenience to save her father’s company, she spent the last ten years of her life dealing with a powerful mother in love, who is also a CEO, that controls everything around her. So she had to bear through every impossible situation, bottle up her feelings, her desires and dreams, but it won’t be long until it all comes bursting to the surface.

It’s clear the show has been building up, since day one, the moment she finally and truly breaks free from her mother in law. I wonder if it will happen this week Despite her marriage being a show, her husband Jin-woo (Ji Seung-hyun) actually has her back at all times and has been secretly helping her out to find a way out of their unhappy situation. It’s a unusual relationship, the one that they share, because you can see they have a clear understating for one another and even, maybe, care for each other but they have to get a divorce in order to be able to break free from mommie dearest. Sometimes I catch myself wishing they could find a way to stay together when everything is over but I am not sure that is their story. They have both been under the thumb of other people’s wishes for many years and right now I think it’s more important they both get their freedom. If there’s a chance for them in the future, let it be on their terms.

I have to mention CEO Jang (Ye Soo-jung) as the fourth leading lady of the show. This woman is a wonderful nightmare, it’s not that she’s evil, that’s not it and she’s not like any other Dramaland mother in law you have seen before. This is a woman from another generation, a far more conservative, that has managed not only stay on top of everything but also bend and break everyone to her will. I know she’s giving Ga Gyung, Jin-woo and even Ta-mi and Hyun a hard time but you have to admire her drive and willpower as a woman. I don’t like her but she’s got my respect for effing up the patriarchy and live her life exactly the way she wants it.

Now that Ga-gyung and CEO Jang are in an open war things will start moving more quickly, this won’t only affect UNICON but I’m guessing BARRO will also be under fire and with CEO Min out of the job, I’m not sure everyone is safe.

Whatever happens, I’m really looking forward to see how the show develops the last six episodes of this show. It’s going to be a wild ride!

180908(?) GQ Interview

(t/n: it’s an audio interview!)

cxk: hello everyone, i’m cai xukun. really happy to be a guest here, thank you.

what will you be busy with in the month of september?

cxk: in september i’ll be preparing for <wait wait wait>’s mv, as everyone likes the song quite a lot, so i hope to not leave any regrets. even though it’s a little late but we’ll still hope to film the mv for <www>. this time we also invited an exceptionally outstanding director dave meyers, it’s also his first time working with a chinese artiste. both our sides value this collaboration a lot and want to do it well. around the end of september i’ll also be going to LA to have a meeting with him, then film (the mv) in october.

how old do you think your mental age right now is?

cxk: i actually don’t know either, if there’s a chance i can take a (mental age) test. but it’s probably older than my actual age.

why?

cxk: hm.. because of dakui. dakui’s mental age is pretty old, he pulled up the average age of dakui and xiaokui’s mental age.

hahaha that’s an interesting explanation. talk about a really sad* moment you had recently? *t/n: can mean dejected/downcast/gloomy, i just summarised it as ‘sad’.

cxk: a really sad moment.. it’s actually (been) alright. but sometimes when i’m alone at night resting, listening to music or composing i’ll feel a bit of loneliness.

then are there any moments that you feel really happy (blissed)?

cxk: recently there was a moment i felt really blissed, if you watch my stage (performance on idol hits) this time you’ll see that when i heard them (ikuns) cheer for me below the stage, i think, it’s the most blissful moment i’ve had in this period of time.

can you hear what they were saying when cheering?

cxk: they sang <you can be my girlfriend>, and i think they did some fan chants as well.

if time could turn back, which moment would you want to return to?

cxk: i’d want to go back to.. maybe middle school? riding on bicycles in the forests, going to school everyday, listening to music, then playing basketball after school.. i think i miss those times quite a lot, it was very innocent (/pure) and cute.

like the feeling of youth?

cxk: yes, it was just very simple & natural, and comfortable.

previously someone asked you to describe yourself with an animal and you said tiger, has that changed now?

cxk: hm.. probably not. it’s either a tiger or a lion.

why a lion?

cxk: because i’m a leo heheh. so tigers and lions are more similar to me.

which characteristic of a leo do you think you fit with?

cxk: when i’m on stage i’m most like a leo. but leos originally also have a pretty introverted side. maybe they’re more calm (‘stable’) in daily life, but on stage he’ll be very confident and ‘arrogant’.

i thought of something funny that your fans really like recently, do you remember the time you accidentally dropped your plastic bag? then you calmly kicked it to one side before picking it up later.

cxk: i actually don’t know why this came about, i’m quite surprised because i don’t actually remember myself doing this 😂 just.. yea i don’t know why either, i’ve forgotten.

a lot of fans think it’s very old-school, and that a contrast like this is really good.

cxk: ’m usually quite thrifty heheheh.

(t/n: sorry i don’t know the interviewer said, but it’s still about being thrifty!)

cxk: right now I’m actually working with sina weibo on volunteering. usually my mum also teaches me a lot to live life ‘simply’, from using water to consuming food, that i have to be frugal (on such things).

what’s the most healthy thing you’ve done recently?

cxk: the healthiest thing.. actually recently i’ve been quite unhealthy 😅

sleeping really late?

cxk: yep, been sleeping pretty late recently.

after 12?

cxk: yes.

a trait you’d want to change about yourself?

cxk: hm.. i think i’m a little skinny, i’d want to eat & gain a little more weight.

host: woah, a lot of girls want to slim down hahaha. your troubles are.. pretty blissful troubles!

cxk: thank you 😅

host: what do you think the staff that follow you around are most afraid of you doing?

cxk: probably that i won’t talk, sometimes i’m a little quiet, and they don’t know what to do either.

host: but i see that the you right now is pretty bubbly.

cxk: it differs with the state (i am in). for example when i’m listening to songs or reading books i’d prefer not to be disturbed.

easily getting immersed in your own world?

cxk: there are moments where i need to be immersed in my own world.

when there are no work schedules what do you do?

cxk: hm.. i’d probably watch a movie, drink a cup of milk tea or coffee, then read books, listen to music, chat with my friends, just simple things.

about movies previously you mentioned you like <my old classmate> and <so young> etc?

cxk: yes yes, i love it, i still love it a lot. like i said just now i’d want to go back to the times of cycling to school, actually i have such sentiments.

do you have any worries recently?

cxk: recently the biggest worry (i have) is probably sleeping late.

when it comes to hairstyles - between having a fringe, showing your forehead and using a hairband(?) which one do you like most?

cxk: previously i mentioned (i like) the middle part and showing my forehead, but actually it depends on how i feel (at the time). recently i prefer braids or maybe i’ll leave my fringe down after a while.

as someone with allergies are there any things you take note of when doing skincare?

cxk: actually i’m really not good at skincare.. but my face doesn’t get the allergy as i have the habit of using face masks. the mask that i’m endorsing is really pretty good (literally everyone starts laughing lmao).

say something to your fans?

cxk: recently i posted on weibo saying i hope that everyone can study well in the new school term, at the same time i’d also continue to put out works and work hard with everyone. i also wish a successful career to everyone that is working, you can also take reference from my motto ‘keeping one’s heart grounded in a world of temptations’. that no matter the difficulties you face at work, i think keeping a positive and good mindset is really important.

[Translation] 100% SKE48 vol.1 Shibata Aya

The last translation of 100%SKE48 vol.1 is Aya-chan!!

Yeah, she graduated longgggggggggg ago lol But still, it’s worth reading. 

I will definitely continue translating with vol.2 but I cant promise when I will post them. *just like this one*

PS. Aya-chan talking about her brother is cute. www

Sister is top idol, brother is batter no.4 of university baseball team.

This kind of siblings only exists in manga!

Due to many feelings that overwhelmed Shibata-san recently,

We changed the atmosphere by taking her to see a baseball match.

But, it became an in-depth talk.

 Baseball field in a sunny day, sister’s cheering sound echoes in the sky.

Watching her brother’s match for the first time

(Aya’s younger brother: Shibata Yoshiki, Hosei university baseball club, no.4, first base)

 Members of Shibata family

 - Today, it’s the first time we interview while watching baseball match.

Aya: And the weather is nice today, this is good.

- That’s right. Anyways, how is your relationship with your brother?

Aya: It’s ordinary. When I come to Tokyo, we would go for a meal sometimes. The last time we met may be around new year. We both quite busy recently, so we don’t see each other much.

- I see. February is the time of training camp for university baseball team, so he doesn’t have time. Are there times you two quarrelling?

Aya: Though our study class is 2 years apart, but we are actually 1 year apart (Shibata Aya was born on 1 Apr.) So, it doesn’t feel another one is older. We weren’t quite close when we were teenagers, but we played Yu-Gi-Oh card game together when we were kids.  

- Now, your brother is no.4 of Hosei. Has he been good at sports since childhood?

Aya: He played football in kindergarten. He also started to play baseball around that time. In primary school, he was tall and ran very fast. He’s a regular in sport events. Shibata house is good at sports. My dad had played baseball until high school. And now he plays golf often. He said his best score is 81. He’s also good at skiing. For my mom, she’s also sportswoman. Looks like she also played some sports when she was in school.

- Sportsman blood passed on to daughter, too.

Aya: For muscle strength, maybe yes. *laugh*

- There must be many fans who like Shibata-san’s calves. *laugh*

Aya: Fufufu Recently, I started to play golf. I started to understand that only practice will make it better but I don’t like sports *laugh* I didn’t get good grades in P.E. Well, I don’t like sweating.

- But when you are in Koen, you sweat like hell *laugh*

Aya: That’s it. I truly sweat for the first time when I entered SKE48.

- Back to your brother a bit, there were times you kept quiet about your brother.

Aya: Yes. I just think that it’s not necessary to tell anyone. He’s ordinary person. I don’t want to cause him any trouble. Anyways, one day it’s revealed.

- Why was that?

Aya: It’s from people at my brother side. When sports reporters knew this, they asked him “SKE48’s Shibata Aya is your sister, isn’t she?” and my brother didn’t refuse. Then, he got on the news *laugh*

- But isn’t it something to be proud of? Sister is an idol who gets to Senbatsu in election, brother is batter no.4 of Hosei.

Aya: Yeah. When the news said about him, he didn’t seem to be bothered or anything.

- Have you ever come to cheer your brother at stadium?

Aya: Never, this is the first time in my life to watch him play.

- First time!?

Aya: When Yoshiki was crazy about baseball, I was busy with study that I almost never go out. I basically don’t like going out. Only when Yoshiki was competing for Koshien (national high school baseball tournament), I watched him on TV a bit.

- I did some research. When he was 3rd year high school at Toho, his team went to play-off round in Summer. But they were narrowly defeated by Aiko Daimeden 3:2, they even cried. However, going to play-off round of Aichi prefecture was great already!

Aya: I had practice on that day, so I only watched half way. Seemed like he cried real hard.

- Getting eliminated from play-off in summer of 3rd year high school, anyone would cry *laugh* What about sister being an idol, has he ever said anything about it?

Aya: At first, he kept it quiet. It’s a pity that it got revealed so fast *laugh* After that, it seemed that his friend told him “(Your sister) She’s on TV today” Come to talk about it, he also voted and had my election poster hanged in his room. It’s funny *laugh*  

- He’s a good brother.

Aya: But he always tells me “You can’t do anything at home, people must be shocked” because I can’t do housework. So, celebrities he likes are all the type that’s opposite to me.

- Maybe, you are a bad example *laugh* In Koen, you once said that “my brother’s oshi is Saito Makiko” right?

Aya: He said that her appearance is his favorite. He also said “that’s cutest! So beautiful!”

- One more question, how do you call each other?

Aya: “Aya” and “Yoshiki”. I never have the feeling of being older sister and he always behave like he’s older son. Anyways, he’s different from me. He’s friendly type.

- But sister conversely is isolated type.

Aya: Everyone in Shibata house is friendly, good at sports. Only me who is timid and always study *laugh*

- Has he ever gone to Koen or concert?

Aya: In concert “Minogashita Kimitachi e” (at TDC hall in 2011), I invited him. In fact, he also came to theater in Nagoya *laugh* it was “Saga Akari” stage (Team E period). I felt a bit guilty for leaving him watch in standing area.

- If there’s someone looks that similar, fans would notice.

Aya: Really?

- You both really look similar.

Aya: Do we? I’m more like my dad, Yoshiki’s more like my mom. But maybe, both our parents’ eyes are distinctive.

 Drinking companion

  (Now players are warming up)

Aya: Here they come!! Whoa, people look tiny from here. He was a catcher, so his shoulder is big.

- Since he got shoulder pain, he changed to play base instead, right?

Aya: That’s right. But this is not the first time I watch baseball. In the past, I went to watch Chunichi Dragons match with dad many times. Around the time of Gomez.

- The time of Gomez!

Aya: No.1 Lee, No.2 Fukutome, No.3 Kazuyoshi, No.4 Gomez, I was still in primary school. That time Hoshino (Senichi) was head coach. I also got his autograph! It’s still hanging in my house.

(5th inning, Hosei offense, Keio is 7 points lead)

- …Never thought it would come out like this.

Aya: Even though I came to watch…let’s get a drink!

- Then, I’ll order now! Excuse me, beer please!

Aya: *gulp* Ha! This is angel of victory!

- How much can you drink?

Aya: That’s not the point. I can drink but I restrain myself.

- What if you get drunk?

Aya: I would keep smiling.

- There must be people invite you to drink often.

Aya: Fufu However, I won’t go with men. *gulp* Ha!

(Now, batter hit the ball to the left)

Aya: Yossha!! They hit!! But I like drinking while listening to other people stories.

- What about drinking with members?

Aya: That’s right. Who should I go with…

(the next batter hit the ball but too light)

Aya: Whaaa!! Ah! It’s Gettsu!

(Gettsu is “double play” in baseball term means defense side eliminate 2 offense side in a row)

- Hearing “Gettsu” from Shibata-san feel weird *laugh*

Aya: Oh right! Going for a drink with Kato Rumi-san would be good. Her stories are very funny. I also would like to know how she thinks about me. And she might teach me about delicious fish. *laugh*

- True fisherwoman.

Aya: And Saito Makiko-san. She seems to endure burden too much as a captain. So, I want to tell her “wouldn’t it be better to enjoy with it more?” even though it may not work…

(Now, first base hit a foul ball. Her brother missed it.)

- Eh! This is bad!

Aya: Ah…it doesn’t look good today.

- When they did engine, he might have said “Today, my sister comes” so everyone’s spacing out.

Aya: I don’t think he said!

- When the team’s in tough situation like this, what would Shibata-san do?

Aya: I’m the type of person “I am me” *laugh* Although we helped each other during Team E, but I was changed for real only after moving to KII.

- Spirit “For the Team” of KII changed you?

Aya: That’s right! In the past, I only thought of my own result. But after that, I started to think of team’s victory.

- Comparing to a baseball game, right?

Aya: My result wasn’t really good. In KII, team’s atmosphere was great. When the team got more attention, people also started to pay more attention to me. So, that shuffle was a success for me.

- Was there anyone told you “you look changed”?

Aya: Many! Before that, I’ve never gone out with other team members. That was the first time that I, myself, would like to invite everyone to a dinner.

- Revolution!

Aya: The present Team E is also full of energy and very steady. Now, we are performing shuffle Koen with other team’s members. It’s fun to know the other side that I’ve never known, just like CE-PA league.

(CE-PA league is a cross-region league: central league and pacific league)

- It’s nice, comparing with baseball.

Aya: Feels like WBA, maybe?

- It’s WBC *laugh* (WBC = World Baseball Classic)

Aya: Ah it’s wrong! That’s basketball.

- Basketball is NBA! Maybe, you are drunk *laugh*

Aya: No, I’m not!

- Then, let’s have one more.

Aya: …alright *smile* Excuse me, beer please. *gulp* Ha!

- It’s great to have a drink like this. Now, let’s talk about the group. Are there young members that look interesting?

Aya: Yes! The ones who perform Koen together recently and I think they’re interesting are Hidaka Yuzuki and Asai Yuka-chan. Yuzuki can show facial expression like a grown-up, very impressive. As for Asai-chan, I feel that she has potential. Saying like this may seem overpraising though *laugh* In cheerful songs, she can do better than expected, just as good as regular members.

(T/N: Yukatan was still a Kenkyuusei at the time of this interview)

- Saying like this, Shibata-san’s votes may go to Asai Yuka-san. (T/N: Aya didn’t run for election in 2016)

Aya: That’s okay. My votes can go to any members as long as they’re SKE48. But of course, I want them to vote NonMei (Kimoto Kanon and Sakai Mei) the most. I want 4th gen to get higher. There are lots of children in SKE48, of all these high schoolers, I want both of them to be outstanding. They are children who will carry on SKE48 hereafter.

- For example, Ego-chan?

Aya: That’s right! Just a little bit more for Ego-chan, she really has potential.

- Shibata-san doesn’t run for election this year…

Aya: That’s because I had already decided.

  “propriety” and “talent”

 - Next is the same question that we ask other members in this issue. There are times when the atmosphere in the group doesn’t look good, now it seems to be better, what do you think?

Aya: After Mae no Meri, the atmosphere wasn’t quite good. Both fans and members all got “Rena Loss” effect. However, another important event just has passed, it’s (Miyazawa) Sae-san’s graduation concert. There was also “Sae-san Loss” before and after the concert.

- This is interesting.

Aya: Because of Sae-san’s word, everyone becomes united. Everyone’s so ready to fight. We keep the memories in that day and continue to do our best.

- Sae-san was the center of everyone. Seems like she gave solidarity as graduation present.

Aya: It might be. It was a huge thing that Sae-san joined us…um…

(Now, another double play happens)

Aya: Wahh!! Gettsu again, how many times now!?

- 3rd time today.

Aya: Eh, where we left off?

- Sae-san *laugh*

Aya: Ah, that’s right *laugh*

- Come to talk about it, in graduation concert, after Sae-san left the stage, there was announcement about new system, right? There was captain and vice-leader appointment which let us see the next chapter of SKE48. That was great.

Aya: Yeah!

- Anyways, there was nothing like this when Rena-san graduated. That’s why, there’s sadness left inside.

Aya: That’s true. Now, atmosphere in the group is much relieved.

- One more thing we would like to ask. For SKE, the period of WMatsui is the longest period. But not only those 2, there was also the period that Shibata Aya, Takayanagi Akane, Suda Akari competing for “A”

(T/N: “A” is their initial, these 3 have the same. After JR, they compete for A. However, I think most people comprehend that A belongs to Akane.)

Aya: Including me? Thank you. *laugh*

- I think you are all can reach to WMatsui level. To be like that, what do you think is needed?

Aya: What is it…I am the rebel type, kind of like “there’s no way she gets into Senbatsu” That time, I was only competing with myself because I wanted to get into Senbatsu. I tried with all my might both in Koen and handshake event. But, you can’t just focus on handshake event. It’s completely different from being a survivor in entertainment industry.

- That’s right.

Aya: It’s very important to have many fans. But to be better, you need to have your own talent. In this past year, I didn’t care much whether my handshake ticket sold out or not. But of course, as long as I’m here in the group, I dedicate myself into it more than anything. However, I also need to think about the future, both “propriety” and “talent”. I also have to learn to broaden my perspective.

- Talking about “talent”, are there any members who seem interesting?

Aya: It’s (Goto) Rara! She’s good at English and golf. And she’s trying her best earnestly. She’s very talented. (Furuhata) Nao-chan’s also good at singing and acting. (Azuma) Rion’s also like that, she has so many charm points. I’m so jealous of them.  

- So right now, there are many juniors that could make seniors jealous.

Aya: That’s right! But we also need to have someone, whom fans infatuate with, like Yunana. There are children who are different from Jurina-san and Rena-san competing. Isn’t it what we would like to see?

(match ended, Hosei lost 1-11)

Aya: Ah!! They’re lost!

- You missed an opportunity to be “Angel of Victory”…

Aya: Um…we should have a rematch. I will come again in Fall season! I promise!

Tsukista TV Ep 6 Summary Notes

This last episode of Tsukista TV focused on Tomotsune Yuuki, who plays Shun, and Doi Kazumi, who plays Kai. (I can’t help but notice that Blue Moon beer logo on the side of the bar in the above screencap lol). These Tsukista TV episodes were a lot of fun to watch, and it gave us more insight into the actors’ lives and personalities. Also, the Tsukiusa Taisou will be stuck in my head forever... I still haven’t written anything for the first episode yet, but that should be posted next week. I’ll put links to all 6 of my episode posts on my Scans/Translations/Misc. page once I’m finished. Thanks for reading!

For the intro bit, they were all doing these weirdly serious faces/poses

(All of them being weird)

Because this was Procella’s seniors’ episode, Shuuto wanted to do the intro part that Tomotsune usually does. Tani shouted (directly into Shuuto’s right ear) “GANBARE!!!”

After that, Shuuto gave Tani the “Explain Procellarum” challenge again, but this time he was only allowed 4 seconds. (The first time it was 10 seconds and the second time was 6 seconds) Obviously, Tani did not have time to say much (lol)

Discussing a surprising aspect of Tomotsune:

Yuusaku says he’s like a professional sports player and Tomotsune silently motions for Yuusaku to continue speaking. Yuusaku says there’s various stuff like his powerful movements and his flexibility

Tomotsune said he wasn’t able to “open his legs” at first (I’m assuming this means doing a split or just being able to stretch his legs far in general) but because he stretches regularly he’s able to do it now.

Everyone calls him strong (lol)

Tomotsune’s Image:

Tani: “I’m glad he’s the leader.” Even during practices, Tomotsune would always be a leader. Tani also calls him a big-brother type.

Tsubasa was about to say something but then Tomotsune cut him off and was like, “Ok that’s enough.” Shuuto’s yelling “Let him talk~”

(Tsubasa being taken aback)

Once they let him speak, Tsubasa says Tomotsune has a lot of charisma. “Yoshiki-san [Tani] said he’s a leader, but I think it’s more than just that.” “I think he definitely has a charismatic aura.” “I get the feeling he was born to bring people together.” *Tomotsune high-fives Tsubasa after he says this*

Discussing an unknown aspect of Doi:

They call him Doi-chan (lol)

Tani: “Doi-chan is… an alien.” (Tani just said 宇宙 = uchuu, but 宇宙人 = uchuujin = alien refers to a person whose actions and thoughts are weird to you; you can’t understand why they do what they do)

Yuusaku: “He goes at a 45° angle” (meaning he does things differently than most) “As they say in baseball, he’s like a kunckleball.” (A knuckleball is a type of baseball pitch that has an erratic and unpredictable motion.) Tomotsune agrees.

Shuuto: “He’s a natural airhead.” Tani: “He really is an airhead, like an eel.” (idk what he means by that)

Shuuto: “That time it looked like the shoes he wore grew wings, (I think Doi bought some sneakers with external wing flaps on them or something) he said ‘Why is it difficult to move my legs?’ Isn't it because of those bulky shoes??!”

Tsubasa says he’s Doi is the type that’s liked by people both younger and older than him. “When I’m troubled, Doi is the person that says the kindest things.” Doi responds by saying he was once a young novice and he knows the feeling of wanting to be a better person, so that’s why he wants to see Tsubasa continue to keep working hard.

Yuusaku: “During the stageplay, I’d say ‘Doi~ Doi~ Doi~ Kazumi~’ and that projected a different image of Doi” “He has a strong [acting] talent.” “He was okay with me doing that gag, but the real Doi Kazumi and the Doi Kazumi we think he is are two completely different people. So maybe if we take these two separate Doi’s and put them together, it’ll make an even more amazing Doi.” wwww

(“Doi~ Doi~ Doi~ Kazumiiiiii” *shakes finger* This gag is in Yumemigusa)

Tani: “As was with Yuusaku’s private life, I know almost nothing about Doi’s private life. I don’t know where he goes after work or what he likes to eat. Doi-chan is the most mysterious.”

Doi: “I’ll eat anything.” Shuuto: “That’s like the opposite of Little Red Riding Hood! wwww” (I’m pretty sure he meant Goldilocks from Goldilocks and the Three Bears since she was picky and only ate the porridge that was ‘just right.’)

Tani tells a story about when he, Shuuto, and Doi were eating dinner together at the airport in Taiwan (this was from the time they went to Taiwan for the Tsukista fan event). Everyone else had gotten Chinese food (because they were in Taiwan, obviously), but Doi was sitting in a different spot so Tani went over to him and was like “Oh what are you eating?” and he was just eating spaghetti and meat sauce. Everyone’s reactions are “For real? Eating pasta in TAIWAN???” wwww Shuuto, sarcastically: “What a genius”

Doi tries to defend himself saying since they were in Taiwan, didn’t they want to try and act all cool and stuff? Shuuto and Tani just laugh lol

(Doi said “To be continued” in English lol)

Shuuto introduces the next segment by saying it’s learning about Tomotsune and Doi’s “origins.” Tomotsune said “What do you mean ‘origins?!’”

Tomotsune and Doi do a cute segway into the next segment. (“pyon” is the onomatopoeia for a rabbit jumping)

(“It’s starting, pyon~”)

Tomotsune’s “Everyday Life” video

Doi comments about how long Tomotsune’s hair is in the video.

(He starts combing his bangs over his eyes)

Cut to him getting his haircut at the salon. He says the next day he has a filming which is why he needs to get his hair cut. He wants the length to go back to how it’s supposed to be.

(Tomotsune getting a haircut)

Cut to him after the haircut - Tomotsune in the video: “It’s finished~”

(Showing off the end result)

Before he filmed that last part of the video, Tomotsune said he ate dinner.

Doi’s “Everyday Life” video:

Tomotsune goes to play the video and says “double-click” in English (idk i just found it funny lol)

The video starts with just a large July tsukiusa visible and Doi speaking in a weird voice as if he’s talking as the tsukiusa. Then as the tsukiusa he says “Today we have Fuduki Kai’s stage actor, Doi Kazumi. Doi Kazumi-san, if you please~” And then he moves the camera further out so you see him sitting next to the tsukiusa.

Doi: “Hello~ *looks over to the plushie* Thanks, tsukiusa.” The rest of the video is him with a generic message kind of thing about being a part of Procella, them working hard on stage, and that he hopes the audience continues to support them. 

(Doi and his tsukiusa)

At one point though, his Kansai dialect slipped out a bit but he corrected himself in the video. Tomotsune made fun of it anyways lol

Tomotsune was laughing throughout the entire video. Afterwards, he said sarcastically, “That’s some normal ‘everyday life’ stuff in the video, huh”

Doi said it took him about 10 takes to get that final video (lol)

Doi: “It was all for a lonely person, wasn’t it (referring to himself). *turns around in his seat to look at the large July tsukiusa behind him on the set* Right Blue-usa? Me talking to you…”

Tomostune: “Disgusting…” Doi: “Hey!!” Tomostune: “It’s frightening [to watch him talk to the tsukiusas]” www

Reflecting on the life of actors:

Doi tries to remember some date, as in calendar date, but then he thinks Tomotsune is thinking he’s talking about a date that you go on with another person so he’s like “not that kind of date” www

Tomotsune: “There was a time when I thought I wanted to quit. But the thing that stopped me from doing so was the support from fans. It really was the voices of fans. They’re important. And the closest fans are your parents.” “When I first entered the acting world, they were really against it.”

Doi says he gets scared/nervous every time he performs on stage.

I couldn’t tell if Tomotsune was making up an example or telling a personal anecdote, but he was talking about how everyone gets nervous. Like when something unexpected happens on stage, e.g. someone forgets their line, but then in a split second you think of what to do in that moment to fix the situation.

Doi recalling becoming peers with other actors:

Doi says when he was starting out, his butai senpais taught him everything.

Tomotsune talks about how when there’s difficult songs and dances they need to learn, he appreciates the kind of person that gets angry over them not doing well enough. To him, they get angry out of love and care. Doi says he’s glad Tomotsune said that.

(“It’s been fun!”)

Tsukiusa T-shirt Designs:

While drawing his design, Tomotsune realized he ran out of space to fit the word he was writing so he’s like “sorry, everyone T_T”

(Revealing their designs)

Tomotsune thought the wheels on the train on Doi’s design were takoyaki. Tomotsune: “Takoyaki?” Doi: “Nononononono”

Doi’s design is a tsukiusa riding on the SL Ginga (a steam-powered train that’s used for special events and excursions). It says “7” and “Fuduki Kai” in the steam cloud. (I couldn’t read what’s written on the bottom-left corner because of his handwriting and it’s so small)

Tomotsune’s design says “Tsukista.” “11” “Shun,S” (He romanized the katakana so that’s why the ‘s’ in ‘tsukista’ is missing. Btw idk if the “Shun,S” part is supposed to be short for Shun Shimotsuki or if that comma should be an apostrophe so it says “Shun’s” instead)

Tomotsune: “It’s very ‘Maou-sama’” Doi: “It looks cool”

QUARTET NIGHT LIVE Evolution 2017 - 2017/02/12 - REPORT Part ①

Do NOT repost You can post the link but not the content.

As usually, not 100% accurate with the order, especially the talks, so much happened but I'm surprised with how much I remember.

Goods

I went to the Live Viewing at Saitama. They sold goods at each cinema during their open time.

My cinema opened at 8am and I got to the the place just after 7am, there was already about 60-100 people lined up.

There were Shoutan fans!! They wore the PRISM long Tshirt and had the bags, I briefly acknowledged them. I had my PRISM Itta bag with me too (and a tiny Ai-chan itta bag).

We started moving a few minutes before 8am.

I kept thinking how they are selling the goods, do we tick what we want from a sheet? Do we buy at the till and tell the staff what we want?

I was too distracted while walking in, my eyes briefly glanced at the goods on the table to my left. I kept walking on.

‼️

I realised you just pick up what you want along the way and quickly snatched the pamphlet! The next thing, oh the clothes...  It's pretty dark grey, hmm, just one left... Picks up to look at, about to put it back WAIT!! THATS THE CARDIGAN! THERE'S ONLY ONE LEFT!! I quickly held it close to me tightly. THE LAST ONE!! 。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。 Most things were gone already! 😭 Only one Live towel left, I think there was 2 bags, I'm sure there was tshirts, but again my mind was somewhere else and never picked them up 😭 The next thing I picked up was Ai-chan's brooch, there was some left along with Reiji's, barely any character towels left. Some light sticks NO BADGES?! BANGLE LIGHTS?! RING?! CHOCOLATE?!😭😭😭 The charms were all gone too, but I wasn't going for them.

There was quite a few fans left, Ai-chan's had the most. I made a last minute decision to get one to make up for not being able to get the other goods I wanted.

So, I got the pamphlet, cardigan, brooch and fan. Plus 2 random keychains for spending over a certain amount *Will upload pics later*

I opened the first random packet, Ranran came out, not too bad, next one was Camus. Ai-chan~~~~ 😭

I went to the crowd of fans to try and exchange for Ai-chan, and if possible the QN logo

I seen the Shoutan fans again, they obviously would want Ai-chan, skip. Where's Ai-chan~~~

Ah!! Ai-chan!! I asked the girl who she was looking for and she said "Camus-sama" SCORE! Put Ai-chan's one away, kinda still want the logo~

I stood for a while holding Ranran's one And then a girl came to me asking if they can get Ranran for the logo Yatta!! Mission complete 💜 And now to roam about for 6 hours or so before the live (omg I was SOOOO bored! 😩)

Came back to the theatre and went to the screen, my seat was 7th row from the front

The girl next to me was wearing the Long T! Yeyy Fan: are you Mikaze Ai's fan? Me: Yes~ Shoutan's fan? ✨ Fan: Hai sou desu (yes that's correct) Me: Yatta! XD Fan: Yatta ^^ Yoroshiku onegaishimasu Me: Yoroshiku onegaishimasu~

I asked her name, she's Yukina.

The screen was showing the Live logo and then changed to the goods

Not long after it showed the venue!!!!

Ahh!! It was beautiful!! All monochrome Part of the stage set was decorated with their character colours

We were saying how amazing it looks and she said it's very QN-like ✨

She was like "yabai yabai!!" I'm so glad a Shoutan, and a vocal fan is next to me!! For the past lives I've been to, apart from Shoutan's Osaka live(sat with a friend) Every stranger I've sat next to are SO quiet! Yeyy! It's gna be fun! XD

AHHH IT'S STARTING!! We both freaked out

Live

Op movie

Morikubo (acting as Reiji) dressed in the pamphlet suit, was waking, swinging car keys. He walked to a garage, opened the door and the green car was there!!!!! He got in, adjusted and looked at mirror cooly and drove off.

Shoutan (as Ai-chan) sits reading a book by the sea, the cover and title(in Jap and Eng) of the book was shown, can't remember the name but it was a complex book. THEY SHOWED US AI-CHAN'S VISION SCANNING, ANALYZING THE BOOK!!! Me and Yukina died as soon as Shoutan appeared XD

Morikubo arrives in the car, Shoutan looks to the left behind him, closes book, gets up unimpressed pointing at his watch as he's late (perfect Ai-chan expression) Morikubo apologises Shoutan's like, whatever and gets in the car.

Next scene was night time. A limousine drives through the night, he pours tea, puts sugar in tea one by one, (in fast motion) takes nearly half the bowl!! The camera turns to Maeno (as Camus) drinking tea.

Maeno looks out to his right, Tatsun (as Ranmaru) passes, walking with his bass on his back.

There was a cat!! He goes to pet cat!!!! and left after.

Shoutan and Morikubo reaches their destination, gets out the car.

Maeno also arrives (kinda looked Joker Trap-like where they were) He throws his jacket to the chauffeur and walks away.

Tatsun throws his bass to his chauffeur. Lol

All of them gathered, walking together FRICKEN KAKKOI AS HELL!!!

I WISH @owbababy and @maenothanks WAS HERE!!!! 😭😭😭😭

QUARTET★NIGHT

I knew they were going to start with this song!! They appeared in monochrome suits (mostly black) 😍 Maeno wore contacts! His hair was done in such a nice way!! I've never seen him look this good before!!! Shoutan!!!!!! HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL (as always) his hair was so pretty with the green bits

They all danced to parts of the song, you can tell they really practices SO hard (their performance was perfect!)

They all gave us yabai expressions from time to time Kyaaaaaa~ 💕😆

The Dice Are Cast

Me & Yukina: KYAAAAA!! 😆 They played the video on screen 💖 They danced and again you can see how much they've improved!!

♪ Dou senaraba Number 1 ni~ They went back to back and hi5'ed! 😍

We all waved our lights left and right when they waved their hands too✨

Quick talk/Intro

Morikubo: Yoroshiku machocho! My girl and boy! My boy mo iru yo ne?? (My boy is here too right?) LOL And we heard the guy fans cheering! And Live Viewingggg! Us: YEYYYYY!!!!!

Tatsun: Are you all ready for this Live?! It's a full live, we won't be stopping So please don't leave for the toilet, but don't wet yourself Actually if you really need to go, you can go now, you've got 2 mins, but this is your only chance, we won't stop the live at all

You'll get wet anyway Omg Tatsun ��

Maeno: well yeah, like sweating 😂

Shoutan introduced himself Morikubo: Shoutan are you manly today or are you going to be cute? Shoutan: Manly!! *in a slightly rougher voice* 😂 I'm a man after all, I'll be manly

Maeno: Everyone in the audience and everyone watching the Live Viewing, please enjoy today's live Something something Fans: ... Hmm? Maeno: Is there something that you're expecting??? Fans: XD QN: lolol Maeno: Everyone please by all means enjoy this. Something, ... you think I'll say that you GUMIN! Fans: KYAAAAA!!!! QN: *there it is www Maeno: What are you being all happy being called gumin YOU GUMIN!! I'm Maeno Tomoaki as Camus

Everyone are you ready for the next performance?! Who do you think is up next?

Shoutan as Ai-chan: Reiji, hurry and get ready Morikubo: Yes yes yes!! Runs upstairs

The 3 was left and they gave their regards to Reiji/Morikubo and dashed off stage to the left

Dekiai Temptation

I'm not a huge Reiji fan, but I really loved this super genki performance! Following Morikubo, we shook our lights back and forth as if it were maracas for parts of the song 😂 He shouted the "I love you" part

Junketsu Naru Aspiration Maeno danced so well to this!! If I remember correctly he had the cane too! As mentioned in my previous post how each Seiyuu is their character, Watching Maeno perform really made me think, he is Camus. The way he performed, his facial expressions, his seriousness, it was sooo Camus-like

Innocent Wind

Me and Yukina freaked out again hearing the music start!

There was more choreography at the start and the dancing began earlier than 5th. The music was off a bit at first, and also Shoutan seemed off too, I watched him really intently during this performance as soon as I noticed. Ok, he seems fine now.

His dancing was better, but he was half dancing missing certain steps Wait, he really does seem off I wonder if anyone else noticed or if it was just me, I was going to ask Yukina but didn't at the end I was so worried, thinking either his mind was somewhere else, or maybe his condition isn't 100%? I caught glimpses of his facial expressions. He looked uncomfortable at times and then his expressions quickly changed back to being in character.

He walked up at the last part. ♪ Arigatou, soba ni itte kurete~ Smoke came out at the end covering him and he disappeared. Ai-chan!!! 😭 Shoutan: Arigatou, soba ni itte kurete

ONLY ONE

Tatsun: This is my revenge! OMGGG!!!

Sadly I couldn't pay full attention to this performance (even though I love this song!) because I was still worried thinking about Shoutan 😢 Tatsun danced the full song!! His performance was so captivating! A perfect revenge ❤️

MC

They all came back out Tatsun: We underestimated the response for this live But live viewings are held across the nation in 120 theaters.

We've prepared so much for today

Morikubo: This is the 4th time we've performed as Quartet Night We've spent so much time together, everyone even stayed over at my house before 4th Stage.

What was it? After 4th Stage we created a QN LINE group chat?

Shoutan: It would be nice to hold a proper national tour and not just live viewings.

Us: Yes please!!!!!! 😭

They went away after their talks

Photo of QN on screen

Reiji: we have prepared a surprise for you all Everyone at the venue, you where given a light stick To make sure that we have the best live, this light changes colour automatically

It's not broken! 😂

Camus: Let's practice a bit, everyone hold up the venue light *all changes colour automatically* Ahh it's amazing!!

Ai-chan: We would like you to turn off your own lights, rings and bangles too. Would you cooperate with us?

Ranmaru: We appreciate your feelings for showing your support to us, but the venue light is enough.

Reiji: My girl! Who are watching from the Live Viewing, although we can't change your lights from here, we can still feel your thoughts here, use whatever colour you like

Tsukiakari No Dearest

Shoutan and Maeno started in the center of the stage. The choreography was the same as 5th.

They walked to the sides of the stage, Shoutan left, Maeno right

Me and Yukina: Eh?! omgomgomgomg (they walked really far down! Extemely close to the audience!) Shoutan looks ok I think! Yeyy! ... Wait. No he doesn't.

There was platforms on either side, both of them got on and they were raised up!

Us: Sugoi!!

After being lowered they walked right in the tiny pathway in the audience!!!!😱😱😱😱 SO CLOSE And went to the platform held there

Shoutan... Is he hurting or something??????????

♪ Shining, Shining ima kara, gouin ni KAUNTODAUN 3.2.1 yoake made tabi o zutto issho ni iyou~

Shoutan looked really freaked out for a split second after the end, holding his chest briefly. What's wrong Shoutan????????! 😭😭😭 After thinking, I realised it might be the nerves from being so close to the audience? We all know how shy he is after all But... Although that was a possibility, to me it didn't look like that...

Itoshiki Hito e

Started off with Morikubo sitting on a chair at the right side of the stage and he danced a bit Next he walks left and the spot light hit the ground where a rose was lying there He picked it up performing with it, and dropped it afterward He went more to the left again, this time the spot light shone to an opened umbrella He picked it up and spinned it while resting it on his shoulder

BRIGHT ROAD

Tatsun danced to the song too and performed SOOOO well!

RISE AGAIN

Morikubo appears on the platform at the left, and asks if Ranran/Tatsun is ready The light shines to the right, where he is, he looked so exhausted from his performance!! and he look at Morikubu like “Ehh??” So cute!!

They also walked in the audience to get to the other platform

At the end they had their backs against each other and the Morikubo put his arm on Tatsun! THE KIZUNAAAA

Part ② to come!! Loow forward to it 💖

How To Protect Balding Edges city stateshort

Some stylists use entirely too much tension on African American females’s hair, pulling it away from the scalp when intertwining as well as turning as if to punish you for some unidentified bad deed. This is murder on the hair roots and can bring about grip alopecia as well as irreversible hair loss. This regrettably takes place so typically that several women ask yourself the best ways to braid hair without destructive sides by default, yet damage does not need to occur.But there’s one more element you could not have actually considered: your designing routines. Yes, that’s right: Something you’re performing in an attempt to make your hair look much better can in fact be making it a lot, much even worse. There are significant advantages of putting on pigtails as well as twists. Some that come to mind are: Alleviate of style; you could literally just get up and go most of the time while your hair is in braids or twists, saving time and energy on the everyday. Length of design; knotted styles tend to last two to 8 weeks depending upon the setup, care and if they are songs or cornrows.

Vitamins For Hair Growth For African Americans

The look of hair plays an essential function in people’s physical look and self-perception, so it can be ravaging to experience hair loss, especially when there doesn’t appear to be anything you can do about it. Exactly what lots of people don’t understand, however, is vitamin C can assist strengthen hair and assist it grow.

Traction Alopecia Treatment In city

The term alopecia refers to hair loss. Traction alopecia is hair loss that’s caused by repeatedly pulling on your hair. You can develop this condition if you often wear your hair in a tight ponytail, bun, or braids, especially if you use chemicals or heat on your hair. For sufferers of traction alopecia, the key to curing it begins with changing hairstyling methods. Pulling hair tightly into ponytails or braided hairstyles may trigger permanent hair loss. Dermatologist Dr. Jeffrey Benabio says traction alopecia causes scarring of the hair follicle. Anyone can be affected by traction alopecia – young or old, male or female. It’s more common within certain groups of the population, because they are more likely to use some of the hairstyling techniques listed above. If not, the next thing you’ll notice is that sections of your hair are actually missing, or worryingly sparse. You can often see this more clearly around the hairline or behind the ears, but it can often happen around the crown, too. People with traction alopecia should consider changing hair care and styling practice to prevent further deterioration. Many celebrities, dancers and models suffer from this condition due to their over-use of hair extensions and tightly-fixed hair embellishments, such as hairpieces.Once the follicles affected by Traction Alopecia have ceased to produce hair, treatment will not be effective. This will be the case if the hair has been under large amounts of strain for many years and the areas of traction alopecia hair loss are completely bald (these areas will appear shiny). However, it is usually worth giving treatment for Traction Alopecia a try for a minimum of three months to see how the hair responds.

Weave Alopecia Treatment Centers city stateshort

It’s known as traction alopecia, or hair loss caused over time by cosmetic hair stress. Avoid weave tracks that tug aggressively on your hair below. It’s not exactly understood why people suffer from different types alopecia. Some of the causes vary from excessive weave styling, taking certain medications or when your body immune system starts assaulting your healthy hair roots for no obvious reason. No one understands why the immune system incorrectly attacks the healthy hair follicles, however I have my theories.

Can Hair Loss Be Reveresed

In order for your hair to grow back, the hair follicles need to be invigorated to improve blood circulation therefore promoting more hair development. The hair edges are the most sensitive part of the hair, and the edges have to be dealt with gently. Avoiding alopecia on the hair edges can be achieved by: not using chemical hair perms, tight ponytail styles with braids, and using hair gels that consist of alcohol. hair edges

Week of March 27, 2017.  I Fell In Love With The Band At The Rock Show.

As I write this, I’m sitting on my couch with Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall on the turntable.  This is one of my favorite non-summer Saturday night albums, and definitely my favorite MJ album.  Yes, I just said that.  Off The Wall is definitely my favorite MJ album, and it’s not even close.  And yes, I’ve heard them all.  This is one of those albums that’s just perfect for kick-starting your weekend.  Take a look at this FIVE song run that opens the album.  It’s almost hard to believe how good this is.  “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”, “Rock With You”, “Working Day and Night”, “Get On the Floor”, and “Off The Wall”.  These songs deal with Bruce-like issues with a ‘70’s soul vibe that sounds like the good part of disco (i.e. TSOP) and not the lame cheesy part. If that opening run doesn’t put you in a good mood and ready for your weekend, I don’t know what will.  And make sure you check out “It’s The Falling In Love”.  What a song!

On Friday night, I had the pleasure of seeing The Menzingers play a sold-out hometown show in Philly. Oh my lord.  What.  A. Show.  I have not been to a rock ‘n roll show like that in a long, long time. The energy.  The sense of community.  The band totally rocked the show, and the crowd, including me, rocked just as hard.  There was lots of movement throughout the entire set, and it’s shows like this that are my reasons for exercising as intensely as I do.  Sure, I could scale back on my workouts which would mean I would have seen the show from further away.  But when you are in a pit with hundreds of people singing and dancing to some of the best new rock ‘n roll, you realize there’s no other way to enjoy it than being in that pit.  

This show was a real treat, and if you haven’t seen The Menzingers on tour yet, or heard their fantastic new album After The Party, I cannot recommend it enough.  Run, don’t walk, to your local record store right now and buy the album.  Stop reading this, and immediately go to their website and buy tickets to their show.  You won’t regret it.  The band has such a great time on stage.  And the crowd does too.  As I told everyone I would, I went absolutely nuts during “Lookers”.  

This was a special show for me.  It felt like the old TGA days for me.  There were so many of my friends at the show.  It really hasn’t been like that since TGA went on their break.  It was fun to watch my friends in the pit, rocking as hard as possible.  This is one of the things I like most about music.  I love seeing everyone else so happy.

It’s crazy to think that I nearly missed this show.  Let me explain.  In 2012, TGA was touring their great album Handwritten, and I went to a ton of shows on that tour.  The Menzingers were opening at the Philly show on November 27. At that time, I had never heard of them before.  A few of my friends told me that I needed to make sure I saw The Menzingers, so I did. And nothing happened.  I didn’t get it at all.  Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t think they were terrible.  Not by any means.  They just didn’t do anything for me.

Flash forward about seven months, and I was talking to a great friend of mine about music.  We both love TGA, so were talking about them, and then started talking about other bands.  He mentioned The Menzingers, and I told him that I had had trouble getting into them.  He stopped me dead in my tracks and insisted that I buy their third album On The Impossible Past.  I did so.  And I LOVED it.  It hit me so hard, and I was instantly in love with the band’s music.  I’ve followed them ever since.  After the show on Friday, as I was literally out of breath from singing and dancing and fist pumping so hard, and counting down the minutes until I got back to my hotel so I could change out of my sweat-drenched clothes, I felt so lucky that my friend and I had had our conversation almost four years ago.  Imagine if we weren’t talking about TGA on that day.  We may have never discussed The Menzingers, and if that had happened, I might have continued to write them off.  I might have followed their new music.  And worst of all, I could have decided not to go to this show.  That would have been a terrible decision!  I’m glad the opposite happened, and I’m glad I have great friends who are not afraid to be persistent about telling me about truly great music.

The next day after The Menzingers show, we had a few hours to kill in Philly.  Hm.  A few free hours in Center City.  I think I know how to fill those hours….RECORD SHOPPING!  We ended up at Long In The Tooth, one of my favorite stores in Philly. They have a great selection of new vinyl and you can find some real used gems if you spend the time digging. Luckily, we had the time to do some digging and as a result, I found some really great gems, a few of which were on my want-list.

Dave Hause – “Time Will Tell” 7-inch This comes with two non-album songs, including a cover of the Souls’ “Ghosts On the Boardwalk”. Not a bad deal for under $4.

Blood Orange – “Dinner” b/w “Bad Girls” 7-inch I didn’t even know this existed.  I LOVE Blood Orange, and neither of these songs are on any Blood Orange albums.

Miles Davis – Tutu What an album!  This is a great late-night Saturday night album. I was doing some research on this album and I read that this was originally planned to be a collaboration with Prince.  Can you imagine an album with Miles Davis AND Prince?!

Angel Olsen – Burn Your Fire For No Witness

And now the fun begins. Long In The Tooth had a TON of Prince vinyl.  Unless I already had it, or there were visible scratches on the used vinyl, I bought all of it.

Prince - Batman My Dad got me into Prince, and he loves this album.  We listened to this on CD all the time when I was a kid.  Check out “Trust”.

Prince And The Revolution - “Anotherloverholenyohead” b/w “Girls & Boys” 12-inch

Prince - “Letitgo” 12-inch

Prince And The Revolution - “Let’s Go Crazy” b/w “Erotic City (‘Make Love Not War Erotic City Come Alive’)” 12-inch

Here is a list of some of the music I’ve been listening to the past week.  Format: musician – album title, or musician – “song title” (album title).

Bob Dylan – Triplicate

Ryan Adams – Prisoner

Kendrick Lamar – “The Heart Part 4”

Craig Finn – We All Want the Same Things

Laura Marling – Semper Femina

Dave Hause – Bury Me In Philly

Conor Oberst – Salutations

Crystal Fairy – Crystal Fairy

The Shins - Heartworms

The Menzingers – After The Party

The Menzingers – “Lookers” (After The Party)

The Pretenders – Learning to Crawl

Counting Crows – “A Long December” (Recovering The Satellites)

Camp Cope – Camp Cope

The Cure – Three Imaginary Boys

John Mayer Trio – Try!

Wilco – Summerteeth

The Cure – The Head On the Door

Miles Davis – On The Corner

Miles Davis – Tutu

Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop – Love Letter For Fire

Bob Dylan – Fallen Angels

Bob Dylan – Shadows In the Night

Wilco – A.M.

Ryan Adams – “Do You Laugh When You Lie?” b/w “By the Way” and “I’m In Love With You”

Ryan Adams – “Blue Light” b/w “On My Life” and “I Lost My Fucking Mind”

Michael Jackson – Off The Wall

Prince – Batman

Blood Orange – Cupid Deluxe

Lissie – Back To Forever

Nina Simone – Let It All Out

Hootie & The Blowfish – Cracked Rear View

Music is not only fun to listen to.  It’s also fun to read about!  Hear are a few articles that I’ve read recently, which I think are worth your time.

-          JM (John Mayer) has a new album coming out on April 14, called The Search For Everything.  The NYT did a feature article on him on March 26.  The link to that article is below. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/23/arts/music/john-mayer-search-for-everything-interview.html?ref=todayspaper

-          (F)JM (Father John Misty) has a new album coming out the week before JM’s new album.  It’s called Pure Comedy and I can’t wait to listen to it.  The NYT did a feature article on this (F)JM, and the link to that article is below.   https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/14/arts/music/father-john-misty-pure-comedy-interview.html?ref=todayspaper

-          Dave Hause’s new album Bury Me In Philly is one of my favorites so far from this year.  I discovered his music in 2012 when I saw him touring in support of his debut solo album Resolutions.  He recently did an interview with Xtra Mile Recordings about that album.  You can (and should) read that interview by clicking the link below. http://www.1.xtramilerecordings.com/dave-hause-on-resolutions/

-          Last week I mentioned Dylan’s Q&A with Bill Flanagan.  I think it’s so good, and hilarious, that I will mention it again. Carve some time into your schedule to read this.   http://www.bobdylan.com/news/qa-with-bill-flanagan/

-          Jack White is one of those musicians that you just have to love if you’re a music fan. I wish all musicians had his passion and love for music.  The New Yorker did a feature article on him recently, appearing in the March 13, 2017 issue.  The link to the article is below. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/13/jack-whites-infinite-imagination

-          New Miserable Experience by the Gin Blossoms was recently reissued on vinyl.  It is a great summer album (check out the song “29”), filled with catchy choruses and ‘90s guitar riffs (never a bad thing).  A lot of people know some of the Gin Blossoms hits, but not many people know about how they were close to never being popular at all, and yet at the same time had the potential to be one of the world’s biggest bands.  This story explains some of that. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/gin-blossoms-new-miserable-experience-at-25-w473690?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=daily&utm_campaign=032917_12

-          The New York Times Style Magazine recently included a feature article on Tom Waits, Kendrick Lamar, and Beck, discussing their creative process and the urgency and emergency they feel when creating.  That’s quite the group of talented and creative musicians right there. A feature article of each of them discussing their inspirations and creative process is bound to be worth reading. I’ve read it, and it is.  Take some time to read it.  Here is the link. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/01/t-magazine/beck-tom-waits-kendrick-lamar.html?_r=0

Now I am listening to Dylan’s great new album Triplicate on the turntable.  This is an album that was meant to be listened to on vinyl.  And it’s a great Sunday album.  So after you listen to MJ’s Off The Wall on a Saturday night, you can listen to Dylan’s Triplicate on a Sunday.  You can always find the connection in music!

Traction Alopecia In city

The term alopecia refers to hair loss. Traction alopecia is hair loss that’s caused by repeatedly pulling on your hair. You can develop this condition if you often wear your hair in a tight ponytail, bun, or braids, especially if you use chemicals or heat on your hair. For sufferers of traction alopecia, the key to curing it begins with changing hairstyling methods. Pulling hair tightly into ponytails or braided hairstyles may trigger permanent hair loss. Dermatologist Dr. Jeffrey Benabio says traction alopecia causes scarring of the hair follicle. Anyone can be affected by traction alopecia – young or old, male or female. It’s more common within certain groups of the population, because they are more likely to use some of the hairstyling techniques listed above. If not, the next thing you’ll notice is that sections of your hair are actually missing, or worryingly sparse. You can often see this more clearly around the hairline or behind the ears, but it can often happen around the crown, too. People with traction alopecia should consider changing hair care and styling practice to prevent further deterioration. Many celebrities, dancers and models suffer from this condition due to their over-use of hair extensions and tightly-fixed hair embellishments, such as hairpieces.Once the follicles affected by Traction Alopecia have ceased to produce hair, treatment will not be effective. This will be the case if the hair has been under large amounts of strain for many years and the areas of traction alopecia hair loss are completely bald (these areas will appear shiny). However, it is usually worth giving treatment for Traction Alopecia a try for a minimum of three months to see how the hair responds.

Some of the causes vary from extreme weave styling, taking certain medications or when your immune system starts assaulting your healthy hair roots for no obvious factor. Nobody understands why the immune system erroneously attacks the healthy hair roots, but I have my theories.

Can Hair Loss Be Reveresed

Thinning edges loss of hair does not need to be long-term. It can be a distressing experience, particularly when you are unsure of how to treat them. Thinning edges can be caused by hairstyles that pull the hair too tight, continuous friction on the edges, and incorrect hair care practices. It can be rather aggravating, but it does not have to be any longer. Below you will find eight temple treatments that will assist to restore your edges.
