i just finished reading the sequel ( kindan no koi de ikou ) of zoku - kindan no koi wo shiyou and had to blog. it was undoubtedly one of the most purest, sweetest and all-conquering heterosexual love that i have read. it wasn't particularly dramatic, but the mangaka did a great job in portraying the classic type of love that is unshakeable and everlasting incorporating both emotional and physical intimacy. after reading this series, i can definitely see the different takes on how emotional and physical intimacy are portrayed in josei and shojo manga. anyways, this blog wasn't meant to be an indepth analysis of the series. i just really wanted to mark down how i felt after reading the last chapter. it was truly a bittersweet ending, though calling it 'bittersweet' is somewhat unjust. the theme of different lifespans between human and wolf had been prominent throughout the manga for awhile now, but i guess i didn't want to believe that the mangaka would conclude the series ...

only one word can describe how i feel about this episode - DISAPPOINTED! i was anticipating this episode for one whole week because -finally- we get to see mao and jun coupled together. but to my dismay, the episode was just okay, not fantastic and not particularly interesting either. it had its funny moments, but my overall impression was that arashi, mao and their producers played it extremely safe . jun was right in pointing out that 80% of mao's graph ended with SP and movie promos. this doesn't tell us a lot about her private life. i agree that some things should be kept personal but COME ON!! they could have given us something!! people were excited to see mao on himitsu arashi chan because they wanted to see some mao-jun LOVE! i personally, wanted to see another side of mao. i mean, she revealed even more on 5LDK for god's sake! i thought she would do the same for arashi but i guess not. and jun was quieter than usual. "quiet" might be the wrong ...

so i felt the urge to translate something and decided on the ending song for howl's moving castle 'cos i've been listening to ghibli songs for the past two weeks XD~~ 歌手：倍賞千恵子 作詞：谷川俊太郎 作曲：木村弓 涙の奥にゆらぐほほえみは 時の始めからの世界の約束 いまは一人でも二人の昨日から 今日は生まれきらめく 初めて会った日のように 思い出のうちにあなたはいない そよかぜとなって頬に触れてくる 木漏れ日の午後の別れのあとも 決して終わらない世界の約束 いまは一人でも明日は限りない あなたが教えてくれた 夜にひそむやさしさ 思い出のうちにあなたはいない せせらぎの歌にこの空の色に 花の香りにいつまでも生きて ~~~ my translation~~~ Baisho Chieko - The Promise of the World The wavering smile in the depths of tears is the promise of the world since the beginning of time Even though, you're by yourself now From the yesterday of our lives The 'today' will come into this world and shine Like the first day we met You are not here in my memories Feeling the gentle breeze on my cheeks And also, after the parting of the afternoon's sunlight shining through the trees The promise of the world will never come to an end Even though, ...
