YUI Reads - Galileo/ Yochimu

Album: GO!GO!7188 - 569 (Go Rock!! Woot!!)

We all know that dear YUI loves to read novels, she just finished Higashino Keigo's Yochimu recently.



I would like to read those books she mentioned if there are Chinese/ English versions available, since reading novels in Japanese can be quite a challenge for me T.T Btw, in B-Pass magazine interview, she said that she reads those bestsellers such as Harry Potter and Da Vinci Code too.

At least me read Harry Potter yay.

Back to Yochimu (foresight dream). Apparently this novel is adapted in one of the latest autumn jdrama, Galileo. Basically Yochimu is the second installment of Detective Galileo series.

According to YUI, she picked this novel because she wanted to have a try on mystery novels, she thought that such genre would be slightly difficult to digest but Yochimu seemed to be quite an easy read.

Even though I have not read the novel, the drama, Galileo seems to be quite entertaining, and pleasant on the eyes as well.



Fukuyama Masaharu (physics professor) + Shibasaki Kou (cop) = Hohohoohohohohoho

Apparently Shibasaki Kou was the producer's 3rd selection, after Takeuchi Yuko and Sawajiri Erika. They said Takeuchi Yuko still has this divorce problem, and Erika is too controversial plus too young to be a cop. In the original novel, Kitamura Kazuki should be the one who investigates. Due to certain reasons, male + female combo seems more interesting than 2 guys combo (two very hot + charismatic guys though). Hence Shibasaki Kou.


(New character instead of the one in novel, acted by Kitamura Kazuki. Someone is too disgusted to eat after some corpse-sighting lol)

Better haha, been waiting for so long. Finally another drama of Fukuyama and Kou (some more together, even better). The guest actors line up looks awesome too, first Karasawa Toshiaki, episode 3 will be Hirosue Ryoko, then Smap's Katori Shingo, woah.

If you want to know more, discussions are going on at D-addicts and Jdrama.

This drama reminds me of the days when I was still a science student. Maybe I should watch English subs since I learned all those terms in English lol. Minus the calculating + posing part whenever Fukuyama figured out the reason scientifically (too cheesy), I really like it, so far. Especially every time Professor Yukawa says: Omoshiroi (interesting).

Theme song, even though it was written by Fukuyama, sung by Shibasaki (and Fukuyama, technically), should have been something more related to the drama imo. Maybe I expected too much haha. The ending credits was nicely done though. Cute.

I'm watching Dream Again, Hataraki Man (Kanno Miho~) too. Iryu 2 and Abarenbo Mama are in the list as well.

Guess I should stop staring in front of computer screen and continue my 'reading', which I am supposed to do at the first place.
