-How did you feel singing Hadakanbo?

It was funny! There are so many people who keep hidden theirselves but this song tells to talk honestly opening your heart.

-What kind of kid was the one we saw on the jacket?

My mom said that I was always walking stuck behind her.

-What is the imaginary behind the lyrics of Aoi and Friday night?

I wrote Aoi when I was 19 yrs old. Aoi is a sad, lonely song. Friday night is a song about a boy who tries to approach the girl he likes. I think that the images pop out naturally listening to them.

-When do you usually write songs?

There are times when I put myself down to write but sometimes they come out from simple humming.

-Tell us about your GOOD and BAD sides.

The GOOD is that I hate to lose. The BAD is that I can't wake up early.

-Do you like girls with double personality?

Girls always have a strong side and a weaker, cute one, right?

-What is the musical genre that had an influence on you?

Everyone. Music is experience too. Everything you listen leaves an inconscious echo in your head.

-What is your objective, musically speaking?

I want to sing with all my might! It uses to say "Heart, tecnique & physique" so as you can see heart always comes first.

[Term to describe the three qualities of a sumo wrestler]

-Recently you've sung again "Seishuun amigo" as "Shuuji to Akira", how did it feel?

It was exciting! So funny!

-Which is the song most funny to sing live?

Everyone! (lol) I think that Party don't stop is perfect for a concert.

-Give us some highlights for your solo tour.

Swords! We're thinking to use illuminations that looks like katanas.

-What did the members do during the last of the year?

Tegoshi was always playing videogames. Koyama was reading or studying, Shige was writing something at the computer. Massu probably was eating nikuman (lol). Ryo-chan on the last of the year was super busy between NEWS and Kanjani8.

-Tell us a funny episode from the shootings of Ashita no Joe.

They're over! (lol) I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. Looking back at it now it was a good experience, though.

-During the shootings there was a food you were craving for?

Rice and noodles.

-Do you have some point in common with Joe?

I'm not as cool as him. Joe is able to stand up after falling thousands times, he never gives up, he's really cool. I think that I have only this kind of will as him.

-You worked out to build a wonderful boxer's body, give some advice to people who want to diet.

Don't ever do a diet! (lol) While you're young it's better if you don't.

-What do you like in your new forged body?

The abdominal muscles. I did my best with them!

-You're hungry of what?

Work. For the rest I'm ok as I am now (lol). There's something I'd like to eat now though.

-What would you like to do for your girlfriend?

I would do anything!

-She's late for a date, how much long would you wait?

I wouldn't wait. I would call her, right. If I can't get in touch with her I'd wait for around 1 hour.

-What are the words that would surprise you with pleasure if told by a girl?

Something like "Don't worry!", words that express encouragement and care.

-What do you have absolutely to do before going out?

Look out for fire (lol) Honestly, just closing the door with keys. If it's for work I try to wake myself up the most possible!

-What is your favourite food this winter?

Hot pan.

-This month it's out Velentine issue. Even if you're an adult now do you still get nervous and excited for Valentine day?

I do. Even as adult I'm nervous (lol). If I receive chocolate from people who work with me I'll be happy. From the very morning it will be a day kinda different from the others.

-Confession from a girl, yes or no?

YES! I think that in love there are no rules. An approach or a confession from a girl are possible. Of course the results will depend only to the other person though.

***

Q. You wake up and it’s already the meeting time! What’s the first thing you do?

For the moment, I’d call my manager. But I wouldn’t panic. If you panic and then forget things you’d end up getting upset right? But I’m never this late in the first place. The one I always end up doing is doing it half-assed with being 10 minutes late (laugh) I somehow always end up being 10 minutes late. It doesn’t work even if I wake up 10 minutes earlier. My sense for those 10 minutes are probably off.

Q. Imagine you’ve returned to being a high school student. You were confessed to by a girl. Please turn her down while trying to hurt her as little as possible.

“I’m sorry, it’s impossible now but….can you wait for me? I mean, this is really rushed”. Hmm but fi I do that then the girl will still have some affection left. Turning someone down is hard!

Q. The person that you’ve been together with lately?

Probably my computer. Eh, that’s not a person? Well, well (laugh) I just leisurely surf the web and I always catch a big wave every day (laugh) I also watch people’s performances a lot. Foreign people have such a high level. I feel really moved and I tell my friends ‘Hey, look at this! Isn’t it amazing?’. I don’t want to lose to that!

Q. During a concert or a play, your mind becomes completely blank. Well, what do you do?

I’m really bad at trying to not get people to notice these things. They always look like ‘Ah, he’s forgotten’ (laugh) That’s why I wouldn’t try to fix it, I’d just wait until I remember or I’d get someone to help me? But miraculously, when it comes to dancing I never forget the choreography.

Q. If you were told to sing the closing song at Karaoke, what song would you sing?

The chances of it being ‘~senorita’ or ‘~amigo’ is high. For ‘~amigo’ there’s usually a person who’ll do Kamenashi’s lines. If it was a NEWS song then ‘Weeeek’ or ‘NEWS NIPPON’. My advice for singing ‘NEWS NIPPON’ is when you’re singing the line ‘To the north!’ don’t ease up. I often try my best in this part.

Q. You’re sitting alone at a café, and the people at the table next to you are talking about you. And, they’ve misunderstood something (* as in, talking about them and have mentioned something about them that is wrong) What do you do?

It would depend on what that misunderstanding is. If it was really bad then I might correct them but 99% sure that I’d just leave it that way. This sort of experience? It’s happened before! They were saying nice stuff about me though. In my heart I bowed and said ‘Thank you very much’ (laugh)

I watched Yamapi Oshareism few times ago and it'

s hilarious XD I think you might found it on Here and some other Yamapi's video. Enjoy! And again, credit goes to uploader! >_<d

Free Days, Movie I Recently Watched and Random Talk

Woaa, I haven't update this blog for a while, I actually kind of forgetting it XD

Well, first of all, I've finished my final exam about a week ago, and currently waiting for the result in a month, hoho~ wish me luck >w<d

Thought I am free, I still studying stuff for my university entrance, I'm planning on taking scholarship and it's really not easy. The math is killing me, seriously, I wonder what kind of genius who created those horrible question *sniff* The exam will begin in 8 days so again, please wish me luck >_<

Anyways, I watched Iron Man 3rd today and it-was-awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously!!! Tony Stark is so cool!! >///< For those who haven't watched it yet, I suggest you to watch it ASAP and don't worry, i won't give spoiler here, hoho~

And now that I'm here and making another post, prepare yourself because this is going to be a very long post ;p

Now, talking about movies, to kill time lately I have watched a lot of movies, they are; 'A Monster in Paris', 'Brave', 'Beginners', 'Hangover 1st', 'Olympus has Fallen', 'When I Kill Myself' and some random videos. And because I'm too lazy to make those movies reference right now, I'm just gonna gave you my thought about this movies and /maybe/ make the reference later~ ;)

• A Monster in Paris: Uh...I'm usually an animation lover but not this one. The story is boring and um...weird (?). Not the type of movie I'd like so much and recommend, but some of you might enjoy it, so it worth a shot :3 My rate: 2,5 out of 5 Stars
• Brave: Another animation movie, but this time I enjoyed it. The story is great, animation is great and also, great ending! It's like watching brother bear female version. And no, it's not 100% similar to Brother Bear of course, it's..should I say, slightly better? Anyways, this movie is really worth to watch~ My rate: 3.5 out of 5 Stars
• Beginners: Japanese movie with my new favorite actor as the main lead, Fujigaya Taisuke. Some of you who likes Japan and likes Kis-My-Ft2 must know him~ the movie is funny and fun to watch. It's about a male named Tappei who get into police school because he have promised his friend to become a policeman. By the way, Kitayama Hiromitsu is also in this movie as  the antagonist chara hoho. What disappointed me is Taipi's skin is soooooooooooo dark, he look like a homeless *sniff* still, worth to try :D My Rate: 3.7 out of 5 Stars
• Hangover 1st: Weirdly awesome, super funny, adult rate. If you still too naive to watch 'vulgar' movie, better don't watch this one ^w^ My Rate: 4 out of 5 Stars
• Olympus has Fallen: Another awesome movie with Gerard Butler as the main lead. Awesome awesome awesome!! WATCH IT BY YOURSELF!!! My Rate: 4,5 out of 5 Stars
• When I Kill Myself: Japanese movie, the story is about research about teenage suicide rate. A  bit boring at the middle, good ending. My Rate: 3,2 out of 5 Stars

That's it about the movies, now shall we have a little chit-chat? hihi

Uh well, I have been thinking about this for sometimes. It was about changing. Me and everyone around. Friends, people, etc.

I've just realized how much I change in the past years. I mean I know changing is needed but I feel like I've change drastically. I used to be a tolerant person. I mean I interact a lot with people around me, chat with them, go out. But now I feel like I'm doing my best to avoiding them. I put my earphone on all the time and pretend I didn't heard them call me even thought I actually did. I making a lot of excuses just so I didn't need to see them or go out with them. I feel like I become a total bitch and well, I'm not proud or happy about it. I don't even feel like getting close to them anymore.
Uhhh..I sometimes hate myself but I keep locking myself on my house, in my room like a weird girl. I do feel bored sometimes, but I'm too lazy, maybe to scared to leave my comfort zone (read: my room). And it's not only me, some people around me is changing too. Some people I used to called friend now act like some kind of annoying bitch and being the ones I avoid the most. Weirdly, some people I never consider as a friend now become people I like to spend time with..I mean when I'm in the mood to.

I've noticed  how my best friend slowly become stranger to me and I start to feel alone. We used to have a lot of funny conversation but now it's plain. I don't know. I feel like we're forcing ourselves to spend time together. Well, maybe I've change. Maybe she did. I just don't like it anymore now. I don't even feel like asking her to go out with me anymore and  I'm pretty sure she feel the same u_u

Maybe it was because we grow up. Things change, people change. Suck. I really wish I can leave the small city where I live soon. I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of changing on this as well but I just hope this time it'll be turn out good and maybe better.

Ah I think I've said too much and I'm going to stop before I start to annoy you guys hoho~ 

Well then, see you in next post :)

• Here's Yamapi opinion denying that he's not a cheapsakte. Said that yesterday he was called a cheapskate by Akanishi Jin on national TV, and having to try to explain on the program was a little sad XD But he had to clarify that he wasn't a cheapskate, the reason was that his family was different from the Akanishi household. Pi-mama was very strict, and limited the max amount of money he was allowed to spend all the way until he graduated university. She said that a normal university student would not spend this much money, so he was not often able to treat people to meals and things. also when he went to NYC to film his PV, "Even though I had almost no time to shop, I still bought souvenirs for the staff! So I'm not a cheapskate!" And then strongly emphasized several times again that he wasn't a cheapskate. LOL
• In 2002, Yamashita and the three most popular Tokyo Juniors Toma Ikuta, Jun Hasegawa, and Shunsuke Kazama formed 4Tops who then began to host the Junior television program, The Shounen Club.
• Reason for Solo concert: The reason for his solo concert: He said that he had forgotten that sense of hunger, at the end of last year he remembered his passion and hunger for dance. When he was a junior, he would buy two bottle of juice, 220 yen, and practice dance outside the closed doors of the supermarket. To be honest, the first time having a solo concert, what kind of stage to present, what kind of reactions the fans would have, he was very worried, but still felt that first he should take the chance and try it. 
• Junior Days: He talked about the first time he stood in Yokohama arena, and he pointed to in front of C area, and said that's around where he was dancing. It was at a Kinki concert, the first time he stood on stage. Even though it was not allowed, he couldn't help it and waved to the fans. Kinki Kid's Kiss kara hajimaru mystery was the first song he learned to backdance for as a junior. And then he spoke about Takki. Pi smilingly said, Takki taught him how to wash his socks, how to dry it at the end with dry cloth to suck up the water. When he knocked over some juice on the airplane, Takki also taught him, "You dry it like this" with a cloth, and patted instead of wiped. And then he said that he would try to teach the juniors too. 
• There is a T-shirt with Yamapi's face on it, and during the encore, all the members of MAD and Mis Snow Man came out wearing it. Yamapi said that it was a bit embarrassing having T-shirts with his face on it, and then said, smiling, "Wearing this to Harajuku would totally be okay!"
• On the first day of Yamapi's solo concert, his was there, she sat in A block, and she cried during the encore.
• Read here about his Europan GF T_T

[C-Movie] You're the Apple of My Eyes

First of all, I was kinda sad these day, one of my favorite band, My Chemical Romace disband last week. I've been their fans since I was in elementary school so this is really sad *sniff* but well, all I can do is just pray all the member will got the best for them. (u/\u) << praying emot *lol*

Tonight I'll review a China Movie. Yes, China!! haha. I just watched this very inspiring and great movie and i was like "gosh! i have to share this ASAP!!!" so. enjoy~

• Title: You're the Apple of My Eyes
• Genre: Romance, Humor
• Soundtrack: get it here *credit goes to the uploader*
• Cast:

1. Ko Chen-Tung 
2. Michelle Chen
3. Owodog
4. Tsai Chang-Hsien
5. Seteven Hao
6. Yen Sheng-Yu 

Cerita yang mengambil setting pada tahun 1994 ini bercerita tentang seorang cowok remaja bernama Ko Ching-Teng (Ko Chen-Tung) yang malas dan teman-temannya. Walaupun 5 temannya yang lain ga semalas si Ko-Teng ini, mereka sama-sama nakal. Seperti pas pelajaran malah uhh..lomba masturbasi (yang berakhir dengan hukuman tentu saja) XD

Di sekolah mereka, ada satu gadis idola yang namanya Shen Chia Yi (Michelle Chen) yang pintar plus cantik. Awalnya, Ko-Teng sama sekali ga tertarik sama Chia Yi ini, meskipun teman-temannya tergila-gila sama dia. Tapi sejak Ko-Teng membantu Chia Yi dengan meminjamkannya buku paket yang membuat Ko-Teng harus dihukum lompat kodok 10x putaran lapangan sekolahnya sambil ngangkat kursi, Chia Yi pun memutuskan untuk membantu Ko-Teng untung belajar. Surprisingly, he's pretty good at studying and he's trying hard to study. Mereka mulai sering menghabiskan waktu bersama, dan hampir setiap malam belajar di sekolah.

Sampai akhrinya mereka lulus SMA, Ko-Teng yang sadar kalau dia udah jatuh cinta sama si cantik Chia Yi ini belum berani mengungkapkan perasannya. Setiap malam saat kuliah Ko-Teng akan menelfon Chia Yi, bahkan sampai rela mengorbankan uang makannya untuk menelfon (dulu belum ada HP btw). Suatu hari, mereka pergi 'kencan' berdua. Disitulah Ko-Teng menyatakan perasaannya pada Chia Yi, namun Chia Yi meminta Ko-Teng untuk memikirkan apakah dia yakin atau tidak dengan perasaannya terhadap Chia Yi dan disaat Ko-Teng bilang bahwa dia yakin dan Chia Yi hampir memberi jawaban, Ko-Teng malah bilang pada Chia-Yi untuk tidak menjawabnya -_-a

Ko-Teng lalu memutuskan untuk membuat pertandingan tinju di asramanya dan mengudang Chia Yi untuk datang, ceritanya Ko-Teng mau memperlihatkan kejantanannya pada Chia Yi. Namun, Chia Yi yang sama sekali nggak senang melihat Ko-Teng di pukuli habis-habisan oleh lawannya malah marah pada Ko-Teng, Ko-Teng balik marah dan akhirnya mereka berhenti berhubungan selama dua tahun.

Setelah 2 tahun, terjadilah gempa yang katanya asalnya dari tempat Chia Yi bersekolah. Langsung saja Ko-Teng menelfon Chia Yi, menanyakan apakah cewek itu baik-baik saja dan menghabiskan banyak waktu untuk berbicara pada cewek itu setelah sekian lama.

2 tahun setelah Ko-Teng lulus kuliah, dia menerima telfon dari Chia Yi yang mengundangnya ke pernikahan Chia Yi. Disini jalan ceritanya udah mulai sangat amat bagus deh, menguras air mata juga huhu.

Dua most memorable quote dari film ini menurut saya:

Ko-Teng: "Hey Shen Chia Yi, kau percaya pada dunia pararel? Mungkin di dunia itu, kita bersama.."

Chia Yi: "Ya. Aku iri sekali pada mereka...terima kasih sudah menyukaiku."

Ko-Teng: "Ya, terima kasih karena membiarkan ku menyukaimu selama ini."

Ko Teng: "Nyatanya, kalau kau benar-benar menyukai seorang gadis, kau akan bahagia untuknya saat dia menemukan orang yang tepat. Kau akan menginginkan mereka bersama dan hidup bahagia selamanya."

Mungkin, buat beberapa udah familiar sama film ini, but for those who haven't watch, I suggest you to watch this movie ASAP!! seriously. The story was funny, a bit cliche, romantic, and really sweet. I burst into tears at the ending *sniff* and for you all who wonder, yes Boboho play this movie as A-ho :p Oh iya, cerita film ini based on true story dari novel non fiction yang di karang oleh Giddens Ko, Ko-Teng dalam cerita aslinya. By the way, buat yang ga suka film yang agak vulgar mendingan ga usah nonton, soalnya ini film lumayan banyak adegan dewasanya gitu. Well anyway, enjoy the movie deh. Siapin juga sekotak tisu :)b

Poetry

Lately, I'm falling in love with poet, especially poetry from Chairil Anwar and Sapardi Djoko Damono and I'm gonna post my fav poet from them here, hope you like it too :D

Derai-derai Cemara-Chairil Anwar

Cemara menderai sampai jauh

Terasa hari akan jadi malam

Ada beberapa dahan di tingkap merapuh

Dipukul angin yang terpendam

Aku sekarang orangnya bisa tahan

Sudah beberapa waktu bukan kanak lagi

Tapi dulu memang ada suatu bahan

Yang bukan dasar perhitungan kini

Hidup hanya menunda-nunda kekalahan

Tambah terasing dari cinta dan sekolah rendah

Dan tahu, ada yang tetap tidak diucapkan

Sebelum pada akhirnya kita menyerah

Tak Sepadan-Chairil Anwar

Aku kira:

Beginilah nanti jadinya

Kau Kawin, beranak dan bahagia

Sedang aku mengembara serupa Ahasveros

Dikutuk sumpahi Eros

Aku merangkaki dinding buta

Tak satupun pintu terbuka

Jadi baik juga kita padami

Unggun api ini

Karena kau tidak akan apa-apa

Aku terpanggang tinggal rangka

Aku-Chairil Anwar

Kalau sampai waktuku
'Ku mau tak seorang kan merayu
Tidak juga kau

Tak perlu sedu sedan itu
Aku ini binatang jalang
Dari kumpulannya terbuang

Biar peluru menembus kulitku
Aku tetap meradang menerjang

Luka dan bisa kubawa berlari
Berlari
Hingga hilang pedih peri

Dan aku akan lebih tidak perduli

Aku mau hidup seribu tahun lagi

Hujan di Bulan Juni-Sapardi Djoko Damono

Tak ada yang lebih tabah

dari hujan bulan Juni

dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya

kepada pohon berbunga itu

Tak ada yang lebih bijak

dari hujan bulan Juni

dihapusnya jejak-jejak kakinya

yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu

Tak ada yang lebih arif

dari hujan di bulan Juni

dibiarkannya yang tak terucapkan

diserap akar pohon bunga itu

Aku Ingin-Sapardi Djoko Damono

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana

dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan

kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana

dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan 

awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada

[Anime] K-Project

• Title: K Project (K)
• Genre: Action, Supranatural
• Soundtrack: Kings-Angela; Tsumetai Heya, Hitori-Mikako Komatsu; Circle of Friends-Yuku Kaji dan Itsuka no Zero Kara-Angela
• Seiyuu:

3. Suoh Mikoto (Red King) : Kenjiro Tsuda
4. Misaki Yata : Jun Fukuyama
5. Reisi Munakata (Blue King) : Tomokazu Sugita
6. Neko : Mikako Komatsu

Nah kali ini, giliran review anime. K project atau K adalah anime yang lagi 'in' saat ini. K project bercerita tentang seorang remaja cowok bernama Yashiro Isana yang tiba-tiba saja dikejar oleh sekelompok orang yang ingin membunuhnya! Yashiro yang lari diselamatkan oleh  seorang cowok berambut hitam panjang bernama Yatogami Kuroh yang ternyata juga ingin membunuhnya atas perintah raja tanpa warna yang adalah tuannya. Bukan hanya Kuroh dan sekelompok orang itu saja yang mengejar Yashiro, angkatan militer yang dipimpin oleh raja biru juga mengejarnya! Setelah melihat video dirinya membunuh seseorang dari sebuah gang bernama 'Homra' yang dipimpin oleh raja merah, barulah Yashiro mengerti mengapa dia dikejar-kejar oleh orang-orang aneh tadi. Cowok itu semakin terkejut saat Kuroh mengatakan bahwa dia adalah raja tanpa warna generasi selanjutnya yang menurut Tuannya harus dibunuh. 

Namun karena tidak bisa mengingat apa-apa, Yashiro meminta Kuroh untuk membantunya mencari bukti bahwa dia memiliki alibi dimalam dimana orang yang terlihat seperti dia itu membunuh salah satu anggota Homra. Selain Kuroh, Yashiro juga dibantu oleh seorang siluman kucing bernawa neko. 

Anime ini seru dan lumayan lucu dan sedih. Ikatan diantara anggota Homra itu bener-bener mengajarkan tentang persahabatan sejati :'). Alur cerita yang penuh kejutan dan menarik akan membuat kita betah nonton, apalagi ditambah ikemen-ikemen yang bertebaran di sepanjang film :D.

N.B.: Buat yang ga puas dengan ending film ini, tenang aja, bakal ada season 2nya kok :)

[J-Drama] Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flower) Season 1, Season 2 dan Movie

Ohisashiburi nee, minna :)

I just get chance to on again after a lllllllllllloooooooooooooooooonnnnnnggggggggggg time. School is really taking my time :(
But now that I'm back, I'm going to made Hana Yori Dango review, enjoy.

Pasti udah banyak yang tau deh tentang Hana Yori Dango atau Boys Over Flowers. Film ini udah dibuat sebagai drama di 4 negara, Taiwan (Meteor Garden), Jepang (Boys Over Flowers), Korea (Boys Before Flowers) dan Indonesia.

Dari semua seri F4 yang ada ini, menurut saya yang paling bagus itu versi Jepang (bukan gara-gara saya fans Jepang loh ya ._.) but seriously, this version is my favorite. Emang sih semua pemainnya ga seganteng yang versi korea, but i just love the story line. Ga banyak romance tapi humornya cukup buat ngakak. Apalagi dengan sifatnya Tsukasa yang so sweet, agak bego dan suka salah ngomong tapi ga mau disalahin XD though i have to say, Matsumoto Jun looks better with straight hair :|

Awal ceritanya agak beda sama versi korea (saya lupa yang versi taiwan ._.). Kalau di versi korea diceritakan pemeran utama ceweknya secara ga sengaja bersekolah di sekolah elit tempat F4, di versi jepang ini si pemeran utama cewek memang bersekolah disana. Selama satu tahun, hidup Makino Tsukushi (Inoue Mao) tenang-tenang aja. Kehidupan sekolahnya tentram tanpa pernah sekalipun dapat 'kartu merah' dari F4. Namun gara-gara membela seorang teman sekelasnya, kehidupan sekolah Tsukushi yang peaceful dan simple berubah jadi neraka! Tapi si though weed (arti nama Tsukushi) ini tentu saja ga tinggal diam dibully oleh F4, karena kesal cewek ini dengan beraninya memukul leader F4, Domyouji Tsukasa (Matsumoto Jun). Tsukasa yang kaget dengan keberanian Tsukushi pun mulai tertarik sama cewek ini dan memaksa Tsukushi untuk pergi kencan dengannya tanpa tau kalau Tsukushi itu sebenarnya suka sama Hanazawa Rui (Oguri Shun) member F4 lain yang selalu menolong Tsukushi kapanpun cewek itu di bully oleh Tsukasa.

Setelah ini, ceritanya lumayan mirip sama yang versi korea, Tsukushi dan Tsukasa mulai saling suka tapi dihalangi oleh ibunya Tsukasa. Dengan kuasanya yang besar, Ibu Tsukasa yang nggak suka melihat anaknya bergaul sama orang miskin pun mulai mempersulit hidup Tsukushi. Dimulai dengan ayahnya dipecat, keluarganya harus pindah dari rumah kantor yang selama ini mereka tempati, mereka ga bisa mendapatkan pekerjaan sambilan dimanapun, sampai orang-orang yang berada di dekat Tsukushi juga kena imbasnya. Akhirnya Tsukasa membuat taruhan dengan ibunya, yaitu Tsukushi akan ikut sebuah kontes taraf SMA, TOJ (Teen of Japan) kontes untuk menentukan anak siswi SMA nomor 1 sejepang. Kalau Tsukushi menang, ibunya harus merestui hubungan Tsukasa dan Tsukushi. Tapi kalau Tsukushi kalah, Tsukasa harus mengikuti apa saja perintah ibunya. Dan sayang sekali, Tsukushi cuma bisa mendapat peringkat kedua dan karena itulah Tsukasa harus pergi ke Amerika untuk belajar management seperti keinginan ibunya.

Di season 2, Tsukushi yang rindu dengan Tsukasa yang tidak pernah menghubunginya sejak pergi ke New York, pengeeeeeeeeeeeen banget pergi ke New York dan kebetulan juga ayahnya memenangkan tiket perjalanan ke New York untuk 1 orang dari undian, maka pergilah Tsukushi. Di NY cewek itu dengan bodohnya tersesat, plus semua barangnya dicuri, untung aja ada 3 member F4 yang ternyata pergi menyusul Tsukushi ke NY dan menolongnya. Di NY, tanpa sengaja Tsukushi bertemu dengan Tsukasa. Namun, Tsukasa yang ditemui Tsukushi di NY sudah berubah, cowok itu ga perduli dengan Tsukushi dan malah memintanya untuk segera pulang ke Jepang.

Setelah tepat setahun di NY, Tsukasa pun pulang. Untuk merayakan kepulangan Tsukasa sekaligus ulang tahunnya, diadakan lah pesta. Tsukushi yang diundang oleh ibu Tsukasa datang. Di pesta itu ibu Tsukasa mengumumkan pertunangan Tsukasa (yang tentu aja ga diketahui Tsukasa) dengan seorang cewek dari keluarga kaya bernama Okwahara Shigeru (Kato Natsuki) yang super ceria dan supel.

Tanpa tahu tentang masa lalu Tsukasa dan Tsukushi, Shigeru meminta Tsukushi untuk jadi temannya. Saat akhirnya mengetahui tentang hubungan Tsukushi dan Tsukasa dan tau kalau Tsukasa ga akan pernah jatuh cinta padanya, Shigeru membatalkan pertunangan mereka dan kembali ke New York.

Tapi masalahnya belum selesai sampai disini aja, karena pertunangannya dibatalkan, kerja sama perusahaan Domyouji yang diambang kebangkrutan dengan perusahaan Okwahara batal, akibatnya banyak perusahaan cabang Domyouji yang akan ditutup. Karena merasa bersalah, Tsukushi memutuskan untuk tidak lagi bertemu dengan Tsukasa dan ikut pindah dengan orangtuannya yang hidup di kampung setelah ayahnya di pecat dari perusahaan. Tsukasa yang nggak mau begitu saja kehilangan Tsukushi pun menyusul Tsukushi ke kampung itu tapi tanpa sengaja malah kecelakaan dan kehilangan ingatan. Saat kehilangan ingatan, Tsukasa malah mengira kalau dia pacaran sama seorang cewek yang ditemuinya di rumah sakit dan melupakan Tsukushi. Alasan kenapa Tsukasa bisa ingat Tsukushi lagi dan kenapa ibu Tsukasa akhirnya merestui hubungan mereka terlalu panjang, rumit dan bakal jadi spoiler, jadi tonton sendiri saja :p

Nah yang terakhir Hana Yori Dango Final. Di movie yang setting waktunya sudah maju 4 tahun dari HYD Return ini bercerita tentang Tsukasa dan Tsukushi yang akan segera menikah. Ibu Tsukasa memberikannya hadiah sebuah mahkota mewah yang bernama Venus Smile. Namun saat Tsukushi dan Tsukasa berada di kamar apartment Tsukushi, mahkota itu di curi. Maka dimulailah perjalanan Tsukasa dan Tsukushi untuk mencari mahkota itu dan tentu aja perjalanan itu ga mudah buat mereka. Mereka mulai sering bertengkar gara-gara masalah kecil seperti Tsukasa yang cemburu melihat Tsukushi berbicara dengan cowok lain dan menuduhnya berselingkuh, tentang Tsukushi yang mencurigai 3 member F4  mengetahui sesuatu dibalik hilangnya mahkota ini, dll. Tsukushi pun mulai ragu apakah dia masih ingin menikahi Tsukasa setelah semua yang mereka lalui di perjalan mencari mahkota itu. Namun sebelum pulang ke Jepang, mereka malah dibius dan terdampar di sebuah pulau tak berpenghuni. Tentu saja, survival di pulau itu ga gampang, ditambah lagi, pertengkaran-pertengkaran bodoh mereka membuat mereka semakin jauh dari satu sama lain.

Nah segitu aja  deh reviewnya. Ending Hana Yori Dango series ini bener-bener climax dan memuaskan, salah satu film yang bisa bikin kita senyum-senyum sendiri pas mengingatnya lagi :)b.
