YUI watches: Seito Shokun!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Misc YUI Hearsay:

Every time I read how these people in entertainment industry on their encounters with dear YUI, I always wonder: Is such nice person exist in this world?

Apparently this guy (keyboardist of a band called midori) fell in love with YUI at first sight, when she came to see his band and GO!GO!7188 live. Something like a bassist friend of YUI's has something to do with GO!GO!'s guitarist Yuu san, so both of them came yada yada...

When this guy saw YUI at the backstage (surprised), he went to greet her, exchanged a few words. Since YUI consider as a big star, the most we can do is just...have small talks. According to his 'writing tone', he was mesmerised by YUI's voice, especially when YUI complimented his performance, using THAT voice.

That reminds me of the time when YUI called my name LOL \(≧▽≦)丿 (<- stole from his blog).

When YUI was going to leave she even returned back and say good bye to the guy. So nice. One thing though, YUI had to 'camouflage' by wearing sunglasses. Someone saw her wearing it in the concert. And I always thought that YUI is one of the few artists who seldom wear sunglasses. She is getting popular...must protect herself from unnecessary disturbance. Kinda makes me sad.

Apparently this guy (Hajime san) has a thing for Otsuka Ai, Base Ball Bear's bassist, Polysics keyboardist.....etc etc too. I like his taste in women LMAO.

PS: Don't believe in everything I wrote. Just take it as a gossip corner. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seito Shokun!

Despite it's low ratings (7.6%), overall I like it. Maybe because I'm into motivational stuff lately. All the lessons, values I've heard since I was little starting to make sense. I wonder why I never take it seriously back then.

And of course, I watched this drama because of,

YUI and Horikita Maki. My Generation acoustic and orchestra versions are NICE (anyone has the OST??), and Maki chan is nice to look at too.

At first I thought it was yet another high school drama with troubled, lost kids and saved by their sensei. There is something deeper than that, the education system. How it slowly corrupts people's mind, people start blame each other, ignoring what matters the most....the root of all evil.

With teenagers so full of themselves, who seem to think that they are the unluckiest person in the whole universe.

Kinda remind me of myself *hides*

Back then when I was in secondary school, I always think about myself. Everything is about me, ME, I. I used to be part of a group, but one day they started to ignore me for no apparent reason. I thought they were the ones to blame, since I didn't do anything bad, and I started to throw tantrums, hitting the tables, hoping that they will notice me. But you know what? The more you tried to gain attention by ventilating your temper to people around you, they will ignore you even more. Once I thought of committing suicide to make those people regret forever.

Luckily my willpower was not that strong back then lol. That's why now I choose to be as an individual instead of under one clan. These so called brothers and sisters cannot be by your side forever, you have to save yourself.

As I was watching this drama (while ironing clothes), I kept on imagining what goes on in YUI's mind when she was writing the lyrics of My Generation. I wouldn't say that it fits the drama perfectly, but every time the ending rolls, or instrumental version of My Generation was played, I will start recalling the lyrics and tried to connect the drama all together. The result? Inspiring.

It's just that I can't express my dream with words
The time I hurt others not mattering who, and cried the whole night....
I don't expect people to understand
I was controlled by the weakness of not being able to believe in my own dreams.
Sixteen My dream

This drama reminded me of certain teachers who have taught me back then, how disrespectful I was, spent most of my high school days sleeping in their classes, playing online games, TV, feeling insecure, lost...good times? Not really. But these experiences taught me valuable lessons, let it be good or bad.

Still, we cannot give up or find someone to blame just because such misfortunes kept on happening to us. Try to...embrace it?

Ignore cliché, unrealistic parts, so-so background music (not YUI's) and Seito Shokun! makes one of the better high school drama around.

Now, if Namidairo will have such impact....
