Trapnest left Japan since last chapter and it’s now Christmas. Nana now have a cellphone and use it to call the ones she loves and who are apart from her. Ren was really surprised to have a call from Nana. Even if he wasn’t having an affair with Reira and made her quiet. Reira stay in his room to check on him, since he have a strong addiction to drug. She’ll wait for him to fall asleep before leaving. Nana also text message Hachiko. They both have separate Christmas. Nana naration said that even if they are separate, they can’t share the good Christmas memories together later. She thinks it’s good, as long as it maintain their relationship. Nana have become more positive and have a strong will to keep her relationships.

It’s now the day of the “Thank You Party” that Blast is giving for their fans. Misato and Mui meets. Misato is not going since she is now a part of Blast staff and can’t make the other fans jealous (since she was a fan as well). Their talked a little and Miu said that the other Misato Uehara (Misato #2) is also going at the Thank You Party. Somehow, Misato was really upset about it. “Why her? There is others fans than her” sais said. Of course, there is not specific reason why she was choosed. She wanted to go the the party to “stop her” or something like that. Miu remind her that she have a party that Misato have to go with her boss or she might get fired. She told Misato to tell her what’s wrong and she’ll help. I think it’s pretty weird that Misato new the name of Nana’s step sister when Nana don’t. She searched Nana that much?? Or it was as she said, that a fortune teller told her to use that name… but I don’t think that’s it. Hehe. So Misato knew, and now she don’t want them to meet. Why? It will be bad if Nana meet her step sister? She might be worried that Nana get sad about being remembered about her past. Or she might be jealous that her mom abandonned her and not her step sister?

At the party, Nana was wondering why there is only 7 old fans on 30 fans that at attending the party. They wanted to do the party for the old fans who been supporting them from the start. They are the best selling CD in Japan and the old fans left them?

Misato #2 (Nana’s step sister) also arrived at the party. Everybody thought she really lookes like Nana. She was really excited to think Blast will be performing few songs in front of her eyes. Of course, she took the first place in front of Nana’s mic. The band member all noticed her as well since they look so much a like. Misato was really impressed by Nana. Yes they look a like, but Nana has a very big charisma that she don’t.

Miu met with Yasu and told him that Misato didn’t say why but, Nana and Misato #2 shouldn’t get too close. Yasu didn’t understand a thing, but after some thoughts, he might guess?

In the last part, we have the cameraman waiting for Hachiko who is leaving to see her parent I guess. He didn’t say much, he just asked if she knew that Nana’s mother was still alive and just left. Hachiko was schoked and went after him. In the back, he had some satisfying smile. We don’t see more of this part. I wonder why he went to ask Hachiko? Why not go to Nana? What will be good to tell Hachiko?? Because Hachiko will go talk to Nana??

In the ending naration, Nana say that she wasn’t hurt because her mom was still alive. She was just very disappointed by the fact that she became some “boring ordinary woman”. “I’m really a pathetic person” she said.

I don’t really understand that last part. What she hoped that her mom will be? A criminal? An unhappy/regretful woman? Since Nana struggle a lot because she was abandonned, she might wished that her mom wasn’t happy.

Hachi called her mom to know about the money. Her mom said it was like a wedding gift. Hachi was confused since she is not getting married. Her mom said, “but you eloped”. Hachi was blushing. Even if it’s true, it’s not something her mom is suposed to know. Then her sister took the phone and said it was the all know she left home to go after a guy. Her mom finish by saying that she have her hands full with the other sisters, Hachi is a big girl now, she can do whatever she wants with the money, but “don’t come back” she said.

Still at the “Yasu is back” party, drunk Nana was laughing so hard. How cool Hachi mom is! Then Yasu came back. Nana was all happy, jumped on him, kiss him, tell him she loves him, then collapse. Hachi was really excited, still thinking that they are both deeply in love.

At night, Hachi was remembering her big dream: to be a beautiful bride, have a big house with a garden, etc. Since Shoji is in University for the next 4 years, she knows they won’t get married before that. Since she can’t accept to live poorly, she was very motivated to find a job. In the morning, Nana found Hachi all dress up for a job interview.

vlcsnap-187455.jpgvlcsnap-189454.jpgvlcsnap-189842.jpg

At the university, Shoji and Junko talked about the “famous” Sachiko. Shoji was very desparate. He didn’t want to hide the fact that he was already dating Hachi, but it seems like Sachiko likes him. Junko told him if they keep seeing each other, he’ll hurt her more and more. Junko told him to end it once and for all. Junko also said that Hachi is an exhausting girl and being with Sashiko probably make him feel more relaxed. Thats exactly how he felt. As they separate, Shoji saw that Sachiko was near and hear everything! He felt really bad and just end up running away. As he was thinking, he decided to end it since he decided that he’ll marry Nana and go to the grave with her. He promised he won’t betray her!

So after work, he decided to talk to her and end it. He felt really weird “how to break up with a friend”. When he was about to talk, he saw Sachiko with tears all over her face. She said she won’t go between him and Hachi, being friends is fine, let’s not break up! He was really touched, he also remined that he really like being with her, that he is really relaxed with her… he couldn’t help it he hug her.

In the meantime, Hachi was trying to reach Shoji. Nana said “maybe he is cheating on you!”. Hachi wanted to tell him that she have a new job. She thought she was getting closer to her dream of having a house with a garden. Nana said she’ll buy one for her one day with one of her song.. and it will be dog house.

In Hachi naration, she was saying that if Nana was a guy, she would be the love of her life. There won’t be always happy times, because love and pain goes together… then the last pictures we see Sachiko and Shoji making out naked on a bed…

Funky Forest: the First Contact

IMG_0021.jpgIMG_0050.jpgIMG_0052.jpg

Last Sunday was pretty busy. Since I am going in a two weeks vacations on the beach, I had to go shopping. I had tickets to see Funky Forest: the First Contact at Fantasia Festival. I just had enough time to go downtown for the movie. I was planning to go ealier joining my friend in the line since there is always a long line in this festival. But arriving near the Jarry Park. It was tons of Italians on the roads; walking or in their cars, they all had their flags. Yep, they won! I thought I would be OK if I don’t go in the Little Italia.. I was few blocks from there. Anyways, I was late because of that. I miss few minutes. >_< Since we were stuck there for 30 minutes, we took some pictures... hehe.

So here about the movie: Funky Forest: the First Contact

Fantasia description: If you look at them just right, the most mundane elements of daily life can seem utterly bizarre. Conversely, the strangest, most inexplicable things can seem perfectly ordinary. That’s the lunatic logic behind Funky Forest, a sprawling omnibus of the obvious and the oddball, the casual and the completely insane. If you’re reading this in hopes of being handed a sensible synopsis of a straightforward story, you’re out of luck - Funky Forest’s daringly disjointed narrative is a mish-mash of blackouts, non-sequiturs, flashbacks, lucid dreams, magical moments and so much more. Awkward stumbles on the path to romance, and others of life’s little disappointments, are woven together with all sorts of extraterrestrial freaks and incomprehensible biological curiosities, music-video mayhem and mind-bending theatrics, and psychedelic surrealism of the finest grade, delivered with a deadpan shrug.

Korea
2006 | 110 min | 35mm
Korean language, English subtitles

Director: Son Jae-Gon
Cast: Choi Kang-Hee, Park Yong-Woo, Jo Eun-Ji

Fantasia description: “College lecturer Dae-woo may be a pretty smart guy, but in the romance department, he’s helpless. He hides his fear of the opposite gender, and timidity in general, behind a thin façade of cynicism and superiority, listing off the reasons that he can’t be bothered with women. But love comes for everyone, and Dae-woo’s developing a serious crush on Mina, who lives in the same building as he does. Literally shoved into asking her out on a date, Dae-woo is stunned when she accepts, and soon finds himself tumbling head over heels into love for the first time in his life. Their future together looks bright – so bright that Dae-woo is blinded to all the clues that something’s not quite on the level with Mina. Her claims of intellectual and artistic knowledge don’t seem to hold up to scrutiny, and she shows up to meet Dae-woo covered in mud, for some odd reason. Then there’s the ex-boyfriend, whom Dae-woo sees as a rival, who seems to disappear from one day to the next. And what about the giant kimchi fridge in Mina’s living room – with no kimchi in it? Dae-woo’s going to have to wise up to Mina’s mysterious ways, before he ends up in that fridge himself!” Read the rest of this entry »

Shuurei have been kidnapped! In the previous episodes some people were trying to put poison on her tea and some others things like that… but Ryuuki was always checking for her. She didn’t know he did that. They received a message from the kidnapper: Ryuuki most met them alone. Of course it’s a trap, but he still went by himself. Some ninja were waiting for him. Lucky is is good with sword. At the end, the had to trow his sword because it was a trade for Shuurei… but the Shurei they showed him in the dark was a fake!

In the meantime, Seiran found out that  the Grand Guardian was the culpit. All he wants is to be superrios to Shou. Now that she know that Seiran is Ryuuki’s brother, the prince Seien. He wants to kill Ryuuki and make Seiran’s the new emperor. I think it’s really weird to think that Serian will play the puppet like that. -_- Of course he refused, the Grand Guardian said he’ll force him so some ninja attacked. He was save by the legendary killer, the Black Wolf! Which is Shuurei’s father!
