My Thoughts:
Warning!!! 
This movie DOES in fact contain a rape scene….Which is really quite graphic
So…nudity (obviously)

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

Okay, I really liked this movie, but I was a little disappointed and angered with Kei and his  “methods” for attracting Yuuki, CLEARLY this guy has been reading waaay too much Yaoi Manga if he thinks that the way to an “uke”‘s heart is to force them into having sex with you.
Kei, as much as we don’t want it to be true, unfortunately situations in manga can almost never be applied to real life.

I found Yuuki’s infatuation for Kawashima to be a little annoying….I’m not sure if that’s because I wanted to see more (consensual!!!!) action between Yuuki and Kei, or if I just found it annoying.
I was probably more annoyed at the fact that Yuuki didn’t return Kei’s feelings, as I’ve said many many times I hate one sided loves, and this movie had 2 of them!!

Something else that I really liked about this movie was how…circular it was (does that make sense?!) It was so effective how it started with Kei joining the group and ended with showing why he joined…love it.

I read the manga….and a lot of it is very similar to the movie, so that’s good.
The only problem I found was the ‘rape scene’ and aftermath in the film was very different to the manga.
In the manga, Kawashima actually told Kei that Yuuki was gay…so Kei (I’m guessing) saw this as a green light to proceed with his…plans(?!)
I thought that that was a pretty key detail to miss out.

Can I just mention: RYOMA BABA.  He totally nailed the part as the (sexy) police officer and in my opinion he made the whole film. I’m happy.

On a superficial note: Yuuki looks soooooo much cuter without those glasses, anyone agree?!

This movie contains way too many conflicting emotions, but it was really good, I’d encourage you to watch it but, watch out for that rape scene, its not very nice to watch

Incredible acting though!!!

I’d rate it:
7/10

Tomoe – Souichi’s little brother…who happens to be gay, moved to America with his boyfriend
Kurokawa – Tomoe’s boyfriend, moved away to America with Tomoe

Detailed Episode Guide:

*~.INSANE AMOUNT OF SPOILERS.~*

Episode/OVA 1 
Morinaga Tetsuhiro has a huge crush on his mildly homophobic senpai who he works with, Souichi Tatsumi, but he’s already realised that Souichi could never love him back
One day Souichi comes storming into the lab, raging about how gay marriage was legalised in San Francisco. Souichi recognises the coincidence of his younger brother, Tomoe moving to California with his boyfriend, Kurokawa and San Francisco legalising gay marriage.
Souichi believes that “homos are joining forces around the globe” to harass him….Oh Souichi :L Morinaga tells him that he’s just being delusional.

Morinaga is out with his friend, Hiroto drinking and chatting about how Morinaga’s 5 year crush is a bit sad, and tells his friend of the story of Tomoe and his boyfriend running away to America together…apparently ever since then, Souichi has become even more hateful towards gay people….Oh Souichi
Hiroto gives him a sympathy present….a bottle of while…but not just any bottle of wine, this bottle contains something, like viagra I guess
Hiroto tells him that even though Souichi knows that Morinaga is gay and is in love with him…he still hasnt cast him away, maybe Souichi is refusing to accept his feelings?! He then proceeds to force this bottle of tainted wine onto him. Which Morinaga eventually accepted and vowed he’d never use it….ever, and stored it right at the back of the cupboard.

That evening Souichi calls up his brother in America and tries to make his opinions on gay marriage very clear but unfortunately for him, his phone call led to an indirect proposal by Tomoe’s boyfriend…LOL

The next day, Souichi goes to work and rages about how he’s going to wipe out America, get a greed card and become the Governor of California to re-ban gay marriage.
To calm Souichi down Morinaga invites him to his place for a drink.
The two obviously have been drinking a LOT…Souichi more than Morinaga as they’re not out of alcohol.
Souichi orders Morinaga to go out and buy more, while he’s gone Souichi raids Morinaga’s place in search of any form of alcohol he can get his hands on THE TAINTED BOTTLE OF WINE!
Morinaga returns and freaks out after he sees Souichi sitting in a messy room drinking the wine…
…Morinaga cautiously asks Souichi if his body is okay, when Souichi says he’s fine Morinaga assumes Hiroto pranked him.

Souichi wakes up in the middle of the night feeling….*cough* really freakin’ horny! He tries to walk to the bathroom but falls and wakes up Morinaga. As Souichi struggles to move he tries to think of ways to get Morinaga leave….Doesn’t work though and Morinaga finds out ;D
The two fight for a bit and Souichi accuses him of drugging him,..this goes on for a bit, until Morinaga decides to take things into his own hands….literally

Episode/OVA 2
Morinaga has the guilty feels
Now that he has finally erhmm ‘had his way’ with his senpai….he suspects he will die, by the hands of Souichi….and he’s right.
My favourite part is from 2.20 – 2.40 when Souichi comes at him with a smashed bottle xD
Morinaga tries to defend himself by saying that Souichi was insensitive to his feelings, the two right and Souichi orders him to leave….even though its his room. 

When Morinaga returns, Souichi had left just like Morinaga told him to.
Souichi wont answer his phone, so Morinaga decides to call his house phone, Souichi’s little sister answers and gives him the phone, Morinaga just wanted to know if he got home safe and was all right!!! Morinaga says that he’ll do his experiments until he returns and then he wont see him at the university any more.
Morinaga fills out a resignation form and gets on a train.

On Monday, Souichi returns to the university and sees that Morinaga isnt there….
Someone comes over to Souichi and asks him if he’s seen Morinaga because he hasnt seen seen for a week…He finds out that Morinaga wanted to fill out the resignation form but turns out he only went on a temporary leave.
Souichi goes to Morinaga’s place, but he’s not home…
No one can get hold of him and Souichi is getting a little worried…

Souichi calls Morinaga’s family…but they haven’t heard from him in years..
After talking to one of Mori’s classmates he realises that he doesnt know anything about him.
Souichi is now becoming obsessed with finding Mori….he goes to Mori’s house everyday to check to see if he’s there but he never is 😦
Its been 2 weeks since he last saw Mori and is thinking about calling the police.
He also rages at a young couple for mistaking a mannequin for being a corpse.
Souichi realises that even though he’s the one who wanted to ‘cut ties’ with Mori…he actually misses him?!

When walking home he sees a light at Mori’s place!!
He just runs in and yells at Morinaga for leaving without telling anyone. Mori says that he went back to his home town for a few days.
They argue for a bit…..its kinda sweet in a way 🙂
Mori tells Souichi that he plans on moving out of his apartment….Souichi thinks he’s blackmailing him….Don’t you just love this guy!?!

After realising that his absence upsets Souichi he decides to use it as ‘leverage’ 
If Souichi tells him to stop…Morinaga will resign….Ohhhh how cruel

“I don’t need the commentary! can’t you do it quietly?” <– I died 

And there you have it!!

My Thoughts:
Okay firstly WARNING this is….kinda graphic. There is a sex scene in each OVA so, if you’re not into that then (….well i’m not sure what you’re doing here but…) This may not be for you! 🙂

I really enjoyed this anime!
I found Souichi to be pretty funny and i loved Morinaga….i got bored of typing out his name so i switched it to Mori. (my friend has a cat called Mori…..)
I recommend you watch it, It kills a good hour (unless you’re writing about it then its waaaay longer!) 
I kinda wish that there were more OVAs though

In regards to the Manga….READ IT!
It’s really good!!

My thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

 

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

This is a really nice movie!
I know I’ve said it before, and I will say it again: Girls in these films annoy me BUT I actually really liked Aihara! I thought she was awesome, when she kicked sand at Ito and Yoshida, so cool.
The moment when Yoshida said that he couldn’t fall in love with a man because he’s ‘normal’ unlike Ito, and Aihara trashed his garage. LOVE HER!
This is the kind of character we need in BL films, a grounded female role…not someone who just gets in the way.

I’ve seen the ‘confession scene’ before, and I originally thought that Yoshida completely rejected Ito. But Yoshida was actually quite lovely…
Although I didn’t like how he was like “Fine kiss me…..NO don’t! Okay, do anything you want…NOOOOO!!!” I’m getting some serious mixed signals here, no wonder Ito is confused. However, I feel like this shows Yoshida cares for Ito, he wants to help him – He does love him…just not romantically like Ito hoped.
As for the scenes at the end, my feelings were mixed.
While Yoshida was confessing to ‘Aihara’ (actually Ito dressed as Aihara) while the real Aihara was hiding and asking him question like “would you still like me if I were a man?” she makes a very good point: she believes he doesn’t like her, he only likes her because she’s a woman.
But then the annoying bit comes.
Aihara takes Yoshida 10 metres away and is all like “do with me what you will.” And he does…well, tries to. I couldn’t help but think that the other guy, you know, YOUR FRIEND ITO is completely upset over there..and no one is paying any attention, the focus is on Aihara and Yoshida and Ito is seen as an afterthought.
I found the behaviour of Yoshida really frustrating, but when he stopped, I liked him again, as if he realised something and hated himself for the way he behaved.
Aihara tells Yoshida that Ito could be drowning, but there was a lack of urgency in her voice, I felt. When Yoshida pulls him out of the ocean, she stands back and doesn’t get involved, perhaps she was in shock or thought she couldn’t do anything to help? I don’t know, her behaviour just annoyed me.

I thought the end was really good though, when they all sat together, and then the shots of them alone. It was a nice way to end the film

I really liked it though, I did feel really frustrated and confused at some points as you can tell, but I believe that is how the viewer is meant to feel, since when is teenage life straight forward anyway? 🙂
I would recommend watching it!

I’m rating it:
6/10

Release Date: 2006
Language: Japanese

English Subs? – Yep

Cast:
(actor – character)
Kenta Kamakari – Mikoto Yutaka
Ray Fujita – Yuujirou Shihoudani
Takeru Sato – Tooru Kouno
Yuchi Nakamura – Otoya Hanazono
Takumi Saito – Shuuya Arisada
Osamu Adachi – Sakamoto Akira

Basic Summary:

10 Episode series.
In an elite all-boys school every year 3 students are chosen to become the schools Princesses, because the boys aren’t able to see girls. The princesses must attend events cheering and encouraging the clubs, dressed as girls.

The story focusses on Mikoto Yutaka who was chosen along with other students: Yuujiro Shihoudani and Tooru Kouno to be princesses. Mikoto initially refused to be a princess but after being convinced by the other Princesses he eventually agreed and accepted his role.

Otoya Hanazono transfers into the school and immediately starts wreaking havoc. He is completely unsatisfied with the Princess Systems and accuses the school council president, Shuuya Arisada of neglecting the feelings of the students wishes. So he creates his own Princess Team: The Dark Princesses, and the rivalry between the two Princess Teams begin….

My thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~* 
May contain Spoilers!!! 
And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

I liked it.. I mean attractive guys dressing up as girls, What’s not to like?!

Also I was a little disappointed about the lack of Boys Love content though, it was only overtones *sigh* I should have read the small print, eh?!

I haven’t seen the anime yet or read the Manga, but apparently the live drama added the relationship between Mikoto and Otoya. Mikoto had a girlfriend in the anime and the manga !

I loved seeing familiar faces though!
Takumi Saito – the one and only Ray Fujita ❤ – the incredibly attractive guy from RH Plus (Closely following Rakuto Tochihara, of course xD)
  And KENTA KAMAKARI!! From the awesome J-Rock band Cocoa Otoko!! ( Which is a band I really really like and am completely heartbroken that they have disbanded -.-” – But i digress….)

When Shuuya does his thinking poses…i love it ! The synchronised swimming team is my favourite. They are so weird… to be honest, this whole drama is weird.

I have reason to believe there is around 30 people in the whole school and they all wander around in groups of 3’s… even at the Princess Event thing that Otoya crashed, there was only 15 people hanging around

Something that kinda annoyed/confused me was: I’m pretty certain in the precredits…y’know when MidnightPumpkin’s song VEGA was playing….there was a kiss…I swear in the whole drama there was not ONE SINGLE KISS!!! I demand to know where this kiss went?!!!!  Was i just not looking???? Was it not there????

Movie Summary [Sukitomo]

Title: Suki tomo / スキトモ
Release Date: 2007
Language: Japanese
English Subs? – Yep

[Image taken from here ]
Cast:
(actor – character)
Takumi Saito – Tomokazu Aoi
Hiroki Aiba – Yoshiki Saitou
Airi Komatsu – Misao Aoi

Basic Plot Summary:
Ooookay…
Tomokazu is a college boxer, in his final year in University, his bestfriend Yoshiki and his step-sister have always been supporting him. Little does he know both his friend and his sister have been harbouring secret feelings for him. Misao realises Yoshiki’s feelings and becomes jealous, believe he’s trying to steal her beloved brother from her.

One day, while Tomokazu is training for his big competition, Yoshiki, Misao, Misao’s friend and Yoshiki’s classmate visit… Tomokazu finds out exactly what everyone thinks of him.

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

Throughout the entire movie I was sat there trying to work out where I’d seen the guy who plays Yoshiki…at first I thought it might just be a friends that he looks like….THEN IT HIT ME!!!!
He’s the violinist that Takumi admires in Takumi-kun 1 – Shoshite, Harukaze ni Sasayaite!! Woo!

Anyways:
Now, I reaaaaally dont like one-sided love, I’ve said this countless times. But I could deal with this one…kinda. I was really hoping for Tomokazu to just….kiss Yoshiki. But that never happened! The only REASONABLY close piece of BL stuff that we got….was when Tomokazu knocked Yoshiki down and was on top of him, and I just found that a little bit awkward ehehe

So this is a VERY LIGHT Boys Love movie…in fact, the BL is so light….it might not exist at all
The movie was alright…as far as things go. I didn’t like the Misao character, honestly, sister loving the brother….it was a little weird. Especially at the beginning, when we had no idea WHATSOEVER that they are actually step brother and sister. The fact that they aren’t related makes everything…a little bit better. But still, I find it a bit strange.

Can we just take note of how attractive Takumi Saito is…!
He must have had to get into amazing shape for this movie…because all that running, and boxing is just….wow
Hiroki Aiba is really cute and has a fabulous jaw line.
With 2 lovely actors, it’s a shame nothing went down…ah well. The story was good, I liked how Yoshiki is always there for Tomokazu.

But despite all that, we are a Boys Love film blog, and even though the storyline was nice and the actors were fabulous…

I rate this movie:
3.5/10
Don’t get me wrong it was a good film…but on this love we favour BL quality and quantity – which this film really lacked

o.5 for Takumi Saito being hot, and Hiroki Aiba being in Takumi Kun movie
They deserve the credit…I’m sorry!

Umm, just quickly:
I’m unsure of the correct English title but….
Suki = to like
Tomo = makes it certain
So, going by this…I believe the movie to be called “Of course I like you” or ‘It’s certain that I like you” or my personal favourite “I like you..duh!”
….oh I don’t know!!~!

Avaliable on YT!

My Thoughts:

 

*~WARNING!!!~* 

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

 

Ohh its such a good drama!
Whhhhy…?! Because it has Rakuto Tochihara in!
What’s not to like?! 4 really attractive guys living together in one huge ass house fighting crime….Perfection!

Admittedly….the ‘Boys Love’-ness is virtually non-existent.
Despite the fact that they are all incredibly close…nothing really happens between any other them… Ahh well!!!
But saying that there are some….undertones of Boys Love-ish-ness….but they are only undertones.
We can just sit here and enjoy Rakuto Tochihara’s facetime 😀 Admittedly, that’s probably not what you guys are here for….well….we cant always have it all xD

Its super cute!
Ageha is my favourite, interestingly that’s the character Rakuto Tochihara plays…hmm

I rate the drama

Movie Summary [Junjou – Pure Heart – ]

Title: Junjou ~ Pure Heart ~ / 純情
Release Date: 2010
Language: Japanese
Enligsh Subs? – Oh Yes!

Cast:(actor – character)
Rakuto Tochihara – Keisuke Tozaki
Yuta Takahashi – Shousei Kurata
Mitsuyoshi Shinoda – Miyata Kazuomi

Basic Plot Summary:
Keisuke Tozaki is a freelance writer who, by total chance meets his high school crush, Shousei Kurata.
After the two go out drinking, they end up in bed together…. is this just a one time thing? Or could it be more?

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

OMMMGGGG!i’ve been waiting forever to do this one! I totally love this movie!
Okay, I am a little bit biased….why?? Because I am completely in love with Rakuto Tochihara, ever since I saw him in RH Plus and One Missed Call 3…I’ve been a Tochihara Fangirl. It’s shameful, I know. But have you seen that man?! Ah he’s wonderful.
So you have been warned this part might not be 100% unbiased.

They are both really good actors! Really very talented. However, I think that they weren’t able to show off their talents in this film, which was a shame really. I hate to compare films, but I have seen a lot of BL films and to me the interactions between the two guys felt a little awkward. I did find the kiss between them – when Kurata invites himself to Tozaki’s place….well…it wasn’t the best kiss I’ve seen
…I think more practice is needed /winks/

Usually I really don’t like the guy/girl who gets in between the perfect couple, but i didn’t hate Kazuomi…he was pretty cool,  and you could tell that he really does care about Tozaki.
I mean, sure, I was screaming at him when he tried to kiss him but, hey, the guy likes him! And Tozaki stopped him, so….no harm done!

Speaking of Tozaki, he isn’t the usual weak uke that we see soooooo often in BL movies, I find that so refreshing! That makes me love this movie so much more!
Sure, he allows himself to get pushed around a bit by Kurata, but when he was accusing Tozaki of things he didn’t do…he totally yelled at Kurata and stormed off. I LOVED IT!!!
No one accuses Tozaki of doing things he didn’t do *sassy finger snap*

Although we do have the usual boys love element: Jealousy.
O where would we be without this fundamental element.
But all is good in the end, don’t worry!

Speaking of which, the ending was so lovely. The role reversal: with Kurata waiting for Tozaki….that was pure perfection!

Another thing….That little happy giggle Tozaki did when Kurata sent him that text WAS FREAKING ADORABLE!!! And the love bite thing… Oh god I was fighting off a nosebleed.

Okay, I think I’m done with pointing out the good parts. But I really loved this film!!! 
Ah….i just….i cant say anything else ❤

I rate this movie 

10/10

why? 

Because it’s super cute and its actually nearly 85% accurate to the manga – usually when there is a film remake of a manga they either change it completely or cut out the important parts…yeah yeah I know some parts are different but the original storyline is there!

[Oh and i love Rakuto Tochihara.]

If you haven’t seen this movie yet…What are you waiting for?! GO! WATCH IT NOW!
And leave a comment telling me (and everyone else) what you thought!

Movie Summary [Ano, Hareta Aozora]

*update: 8th July 2012* *Original post: 10th April 2012* This post turns into a whole thing….beware(!)
Title: Takumi-kun 5 Ano, Hareta Aozora / あの、晴れた青空/ Sunny Blue Sky
Release Date: 2011
Language: Japanese
English Subs? – YES!

Cast:(actor – character)
Kyosuke Hamao – Takumi
Daisuke Watanabe – Gii
Ryoma Baba -Misu Arata
Naito Taiki – Shingyouji Kanemitsu 

Yukihiro Takiguchi – Akaike Shozo
Shota Takasaki – Reiji Minoiwa

Basic Plot Summary:
The 5th instalment in the Takumi-kun Series and it picks up from where the 3rd movie left off
Okay, so from what I could gather about this movie…the basic plot line is:

Takumi was going to visit his brother’s grave and Gii promised to go with him. HOWEVER…there was a snooker competition on the same day as when their visit.
Which creates some tension in the relationship (…obviously!) Takumi feels betrayed by Gii…how is their relationship going to work out?

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

*Original before Update*
So….once again, no subtitles. Uh!!!
the only parts i did understand was when Takumi was in his room and the announcer…guy was all like “Oi…Takumi…phone call” and it was his mum on the phone
Oh and when Gii asked Takumi if he wanted a coffee….
Oh and when Takumi told Gii to go away….
OH! and when Takumi was like “but…” and Arata-san was like “….but?”
lol only 4 unimportant things in the whole movie.

Takumi seems to like hanging out in the greenhouses?!
also…GII?!?!?! Since when he so blonde?!!?! Okay…its not Blonde..!  I noticed that in each movie he’s been getting a little lighter…but this…..this is less subtle that the other movies…!

The sex scene between Gii and Takumi went from incredibly sexy to incredibly sweet…How did they do that?!?! ahaha 😀

Arata-san looking fierce as usual. Nothing more needs to be said about him and his fabulous cheekbones

I dont think we’ve ever heard Takumi yell at Gii….Until now o.O He must have been so angry!!!
Soooo they are playing Snooker….Takumi is waiting at the station for the train – he has flashbacks of him and Gii together. Gii is playing against Arata-san ^o^ I think Arata-san wins….he looks at Gii and then Gii runs off
(and then Shingyouji says “Arata-san” <3)
Takumi is still waiting for a train…Gii is running as fast as he can. I swear all this guy does is run -.-” ahaha
Its a close call but….OF COURSE Gii makes it in time!!! Its Gii
He just grabs Takumi and gets on the train with him….Gii you are so casual
So they visit the grave of Takumi’s brother together….lay some flowers and pray, its cute!
And then they walk off together…

Sooo…besides the fact that i have no idea whatsoever, what is going on in this movie….I like it

I love the fact that Takumi gets pissed off at Gii…because in the past (especially in the 2nd and 3rd ones) Takumi never confronted Gii about anything… and for me that made him a weak character (I love him and all but….just being honest!) so i’m super happy that Takumi yelled at Gii

I have reason to believe that this is the final movie is the Takumi-Kun series… at least for Kyosuke Hamao and Daisuke Watanabe….thats what i read somewhere anyways

I rate:

8/10 !

Okay!! I have found english subtitles!!!! *HALLELUJAH!!*
Now, for a proper and correct summary ;D
And by summary, I meant ULITMATE SPOILERS BECAUSE I’M GOING TO DESCRIBE EVERYTHIIIING!!
*I’m not even sorry!*

Takumi and Gii must keep their relationship secret, as Gii has a lot of followers and he doesn’t want them to get jealous of Takumi and hate him and all that. That’s kinda sweet..

Takumi is still staying with Arata-san. Shingyouji is in their room while Arata-san is out. Apparently Arata-san hasnt been paying him much attention, because it’s Arata-san…He does what he wants!
Takumi also denies the fact that him and Gii are going out, but Shingyouji says that he knows Takumi loves Gii, so going out isn’t that important, aw Shingyouji!

Phone call from Takumi’s mum!! *i was correct guys….i’m a genius, definitely fluent in Japanese* she checks up on him asking him how his studying is going, but Takumi knows the real reason for the phone call….on 15th June is the anniversary of his brothers death.
Last year Takumi went to visit his brother with Gii, because Gii was there he could go and visit….Takumi cant go without Gii..TAKUMI NEEDS GII!!!

Takumi has arranged with Akaike-kun to get Gii to meet him in the Greenhouses, because its hard to get hold of him.There is a Snooker Tournament to welcome the new students….or something :L
The tournament will start on June 15th….

Takumi is waiting in the Greenhouses, and Shingyouji runs in saying Arata-san screwed him over…something about not being lovers and not dating….and comics aswell…oh and apparently Shingyouji is keeping a stray cat and Arata-san is NOT allowed to find out.
Arata-san hates animals.

Gii arrives!! looking really blonde
Takumi runs at him and hugs him  *I died!!!!!*
Gii apologises for making him wait and then kisses him!!! (ah this is so much better now that i understand whats going on!)
Someone walks in(its a teacher guy)….Gii runs out. The teacher guy is looking after Shingyouji’s cat. Takumi explains that Arata-san might come looking for the cat o.O The teacher says its okay, the cat will be fine.
Jeeez everyone is making Arata-san seem like such an ass!!! I guess…he is. But shut up!!! I like him! 😀

Takumi’s mum wrote him a letter, a year ago she wrote him the same one, but at that time he resented his family, and he explains about his ‘human contact phobia’, a barricade to protect himself from getting hurt….and was broken down by Gii ❤

When Takumi comes back to the room Arata-san welcomes him.
They talk about Shingyouji, and how Arata-san is being such a tit….and how Takumi is avoiding answering the question, Takumi says that he is the only one Shingyouji can talk to about Arata-san.
I think I should be the one people should talk to about Arata-san…
Takumi goes to visit Gii….He tries to knock, but then he gets cold feet. Some guy tells him that Gii is in there as Takumi tries to leave….the guy knocks for him. Gii tells Takumi to stop flirting with first years :L

GII ASKS TAKUMI IF HE WANTS COFFEE!!!! *guys i was correct again!!!!!*

Gii says he regrets kissing Takumi in the greenhouses, because now he has no self control….ohhoh ;D
“maybe we should do it here” L;JFHAKLJFKJSAHDKJAHA!~!~!~!
He locks the door and turns off the lights and then looks at Takumi with a sexy smouldering look and asks him which is better the sofa or the bed….I DONT CARE! JUST GET ON WITH IT!!!
they listen to my personal fangirl thoughts and….got on with it ;D
Btw guys…they chose the bed ;D

Takumi tries to leave after realising what the time was, but Gii is all like “NEVERRRRR!!!!!” and grabs him and hold him in his arms.
He asks Takumi who the phone call was from…Takumi tells him.
Takumi says in the greenhouses he wanted to talk to him about it.
Gii remembers the anniversary of Takumi’s brothers death, and asks him if he can go with him.
Takumi says he meant to invite him…that he wanted him to come with him, but when he’s with Gii he kinda…stops thinking

Why was Student Affairs Section in English?! :L The students are Japanese….surely…it should be in japane-…okay never mind.

Takumi finds out that Gii is going to play in the tournament….THE SAME DAY HE PROMISED TO GO WITH TAKUMI TO VISIT HIS BROTHER’S GRAVE! GII?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Takumi appears to be completely devastated.

Gii visits Takumi….but he’s not interested
(Perverted thought alert : Arata-san’s ass in those white trousers…dayumm!!~)Gii tries to explain, but Takumi does want to hear it. Ohh he’s so cold.
He tells Gii to go away *everyone that’s 3 correct out of 4!!!! I’m doing well!! *
Gii says he’s sorry 😦
GUYS! MAKE UP ALREADY!!! (even though i know they do….having already seen it without the subs ahahha)

Gii is SUPER UPSET
Poor guy is really pissed off at himself and just falls to the ground and sits at his door.

Can i just say that i’m really quite jealous that Takumi gets to share a room with Arata-san.. I don’t think Takumi really appreciates what a wonderful situation he is in! Ahh what I wouldn’t do to share a room with that man…

Takumi says *well….thinks* that the grave visit meant way more to him that Gii thought.

Arata-san goes to the Student Affairs section and sees that Takumi will be visiting his brother’s grave on the 15th…Arata-san, using his power

HOLY CRAP! THE RAIN STOPPED!
On this day….of all days.

Alrighty…so it’s June 15th, the day of the tournament…Gii’s opponant is ARATA-SAAAAN!!! 

And so…..It beings…

All while Takumi is waiting for the train.

ARATA-SAN I LOVE YOU!!! He found out that Gii hasnt withdrawn his request to leave the grounds…and so he will play Gii…so Gii can play without the guilt and then go meet Takumi..
Takumi says “but….” Arata-san says “….but?” ***GUYS 4 OUT OF 4 CORRECT!!;D***
Takumi says he can get the later train at 11.30…enough time for Gii to play and meet him,

Okay while we’re here, a bit of personal trivia….I really dont like snooker :L I find it really…boring! My family used to watch it on tv all the time…

The 10.40 train arrives and leaves again, Takumi is still waiting, Gii and Arata-san are still playing. OH GOD!
The 11.05 train arrives and leaves….Still playing….

Arata-san wins!!! 

やった!!!!
Arata-san nods at Gii who then runs away like a mad criminal escaping from a detention facility :L
Arata-san is lovely! SEE I TOLD YOU ALL!!!

The 11.30 train appears…..FOR GODSAKE GII HURRY UP!!!!!
Oh….there he is.
He made it!! They get on the train together.
Why the hell is this guy not dying right now?!! He sprinted for ages and he’s not sweaty and disgusting?! WHAT IS THIS?!
I go for a light jog for 1 hour and i come back, struggling to breathe, my face is red like a tomato and I’m feeling like there is no way I can’t live another second. UNFAIR!

Naoto Hayama is Takumi’s brother, apaprently his parents adored him, and they didnt really notice Takumi. when Takumi was in elementary school and his brother was in junior high, he started abusing him. Takumi didnt fight back because, because of his brother his parents noticed him more, he brother took advantage of that 😦
Takumi says how his mother had left to go shopping, and his brother dragged him to bed, his mother returned because she forgot her wallet…she saw his parents blamed him, but once they found out the truth and sent his brother to hospital, Takumi had already stopped caring. He asked Gii if he hated him now, knowing what happened.
Gii said that he loved him ❤

As we found out in the 3rd movie, Takumi’s brother had died trying to find him, to apologise, and so Takumi had lost his bitterness to him.

Takumi lays flowers down on the grave, and him and Gii pray.
When leaving the grave Gii takes Takumi’s hand as says they should visit there again next year, and ,maybe with his family too….but expecially with him.
And then they walk off together ❤

Well….I’m pretty happy that my original summary was mostly accurate!
I stand by what i wrote up there 3 months ago
BUT!!
I now rate it

9/10 ;D

Enjoy the screencaps! Please excuse me while i go and join an Arata-san fan club with Shingyouji ;D

My Thoughts

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

One of my favourite BL films and definitely my favourite Takumi-kun films.
I feel bad for Shingyouji throughout the movie…Why? BECAUSE I HATE ONE SIDED LOVE
“Treat them mean, keep them keen” is how Arata-san leads his love life.

Before i get into anything, as mentioned in ‘Bibou no detail’ this is a new Shingyouji 🙂
Personally I think he’s great, the actor definitely plays the part really well.

Yoshizawa and Izumi are adorable.
LOL that look that Gii gave Izumi when he asked him why he was here and Izumi responded “This bed is comfortable” was awesome ;D Screen capped that!

There was at least 45 minutes before we saw Takumi and Gii together!
either that or I just had my eyes shut. It’s nice to see a spinoff in the Takumi-kun universe. Don’t get me wrong, its not that i don’t like Takumi/Gii, but i loved seeing a new couple (or…whatever this is ) and Arata-san and Shingyouji were just fantastic.

The…sweet kiss, hell i dont know what to call it! But y’know the bit when Arata-san steals Shingyouji’s sweet (or was it a chocolate?!) and Shingyouji is all like “You’re mean! that’s mine! I’m starving” …and then Arata-san..umm….’gives it back’ :L

Daaaamn that was so sickly hot stuff, honestly it both grossed me out and filled me with butterflies ahahah

I loved it when Takumi said to Shingyouji that he could go out with him on Tanabata and Gii was all like “…what exactly did you mean by “go out with me”?!” and Takumi was all like “I said that?! Noooo you misheard!…i didnt say that! you got it wrong!” Love that.

OMG when Shingyouji’s little face lit up when Arata-san told him he had free time next week…and then fell again, *sigh*

Ohhh awkward…you’re out with some friends and you run into the guy you like having lunch with some other dude….ekkk o.O
Gii….you fantastic man, planning this, god i love you ;D

Ahh my god it got so intense when Shingyouji was leaving…Takumi went after him…Gii stopped Takumi, Arata practically SPRINTED to him….”I told you to wait, or did you not hear me, Shingyouji?” OHH I got chills! and then Gii gave Takumi a look ;D
and then the whole “You belong to me.” Woaaah, lucky Shingyouji! And then he just drags him away!!!
I love how Gii says “Takumi” in a ‘Takumi-just-stop-talking-for-a-second-xD’ kinda of way ❤ AWWW!!!

Ohhohooho and when Shingyouji and Arata are in the changing room….. ❤

There are so many sweet moments in this film, I’m pretty sure I’ve ruined most of them for you in the above paragraphs BUUUT why else do you come here~

Ryouma Baba is beautiful.

I rate it
9/10

Movie Summary [Ren Ai Shindan – Unmei no Kodou]

Title: Ren Ai Shindan – Unmei no Kodou /  恋愛診断 : 運命のコドウ / Love Diognosis: Throb of fate
Release Date: 2007
Language: Japanese
English Subs? – Yep..and chinese subs too~

Cast:
(actor – character) 
Ryunosuke Kawai – Kei Katsuragi 
Kohei Kumai  – Kanade Maki
Eiji Moriyama – Dr. Kugura
Katsunobu Ito – The Director.

Basic Plot Summary:

Doctor Kei nearly drowned in a pool until lifeguard Kanade saved him.  Shortly after Kanade is diagnosed with a terminal heart disease.

After an incident occurred at the hospital, Kei took responsibility. Mr Director threatened Kei that he wouldn’t accept Kanade if they were seeing each other. So Kei ended it with Kanade….but love finds a way 🙂

My Thoughts:

*~WARNING!!!~*

May contain Spoilers!!!

And by ‘May’ I mean does!!!

Death….its so annoying.

Kei and Kanade are so sweet together, why did this have to happen!?
Kohei Kumai is adorable..even if that is such a 90’s haircut hehe.
I hate the Director …I can’t even begin to describe how much I hate the director guy.

If someone is about to hit you with their car, do you fall down in the middle of the road and watch it happen?! Of course!! That part made me laugh…I know it shouldn’t, but it did.

Awww its just so cute! The romantic foodtime and then the kissing, completely adorable!

Ryunosuke Kawai is everywhere in BL movies….there’s no escape from him! He was also in ‘Ai No Kotodama 2’ and ‘Itsuka no kimi e’ and now this, this guy is taking over the BL film industry?! My theory is, if you act in a BL movie once….you have a 70% chance of doing it again ^^
(Do you hear that Rakuto Tochihara & Ryoma Baba!?!!)

Anyways, back to the actual movie…..
When Kanade collapsed on the beach…the look in Kei’s eyes. At this moment it was as if someone had reached into my chest and pulled out my heart.

 

Someone could have warned me that it gets very sad very quickly, I was not prepared for this!
Kei has so much faith that Kanade will get better…It’s just too sad, I cant take it any more!

 

That was the worst movie I’ve ever seen

Not in terms of quality!!! God no! it was very good!~ But in terms of being on an emotional rollercoaster…I hate feeling sad, and this film was so heartbreaking 😦 BL films need to stop having main characters die or become disabled, I’m done with the tragic trope.

But, it did all work out alright-ish….I mean they both were nearing death…so…yeah…
 -just trying to find the silver lining to this metaphorical cloud-

*cries*

I rate it.
8/10
