I have just found my newest love from SuJu! Kyuhyun! I don’t see him a lot before with Super Junior so I never really noticed him until I saw the Marry U proposing thing they did for their mini-concert…
Here…
They’re all so cute in that vid though! I LOVE Donghae, of course! Heechul was funny! Eunhyuk’s and Hankyung’s proposal seemed real. Kyuhyun’s proposal really looked like it was taken from a Korean drama, lovely.
I just saw him in this vid today…
So now I’m really in love with him too. He’s like an even cuter version of Kenichi Matsuyama!! They should do parody of Death Note and he could be L. Hehe! Seriously! Is it just me or is he not as exposed as the other SuJu members? He wasn’t even in Attack on the Pin-up Boys (but I know it’s because of the accident), he wasn’t in SuJu Full House, and I don’t remember seeing him in EHB (although I haven’t finished watching all episodes yet). Anyway, SuJu Death Note please?!
Disclaimer: I don’t own these videos. I just saw them in youtube and thought I should share them here.

Oh my god!! Kenichi!!! Quite naughty, eh? I’m not used to it. He always seemed so wholesome in all the stuff I’ve seen him in. So this is what it would look like when L (Death Note) makes out with someone. I mean, look, besides having the L hair, you’ll notice he’s slouching and he’s very pale in the clip and the way he’s awkward and unresponsive, he’s really channeling L here. That woman is so… malandi. Hehehe!
I’ve been watching the trailer of Don’t Laugh at My Romance all day, actually (whenever I want to distract myself from this report I’m doing). But it’s because I really liked the “Let me fly like an angel…” song and I can’t find it anywhere so I listened to it over and over in the trailer until I saw the make out clip in the related vids. Enjoy!

Ah… Another Kenichi Matsuyama movie coming out this year. I don’t think there’s an exact date yet. I found this trailer last night…
I’m not sure about the story but from what I’ve heard, that woman with Kenichi (played by Nagasaku Hiromi) is supposed to be 39 yrs. old? So I guess the story is about a guy in a relationship with an older woman. But then there’s another girl who likes him (played by Aoi Yuu). I love Aoi Yuu by the way. She played Hagu in the Honey & Clover live action movie, and as I said in a previous post, she was soooo perfect as Hagu. She was so cute… So yeah, I’m excited to see her with Kenichi this time. Hmm… So Kenichi Matsuyama has now worked with both actresses who play Hagu in Honey & Clover live action drama AND movie (Narumi Riko in Shindo and now Aoi Yuu). Nice!
Getting back to the trailer, hmm… I think the music is cute. Kenichi is shirtless, and smoking… and has a make out scene, no wait, and a love scene! I was kind of shocked when I first saw this cause haven’t even seen him do like a kissing scene before. Does he have any other film or series where he has a kissing scene?? Anyway, this movie looks good. But that older woman… um… anyway, I hope he ends up with Aoi Yuu’s character.

I’ve finally finished watching this and wow! It was a very good film. Nice, moving story and characters you can relate to. Makes you appreciate the piano and the struggles of those who play. I used to play myself and I don’t think I could ever get to play that well. The just looking at them play and listening to the pieces, they all seemed so difficult but they’re so good. My favorite piece was “Ripple.” When I used to play, all that mattered was that I correctly read the notes and press the right keys, I’ve never been to that level where I really cared about the dynamics and stuff.

I am officially a fan of Narumi Riko. She was so good and very pretty. She was supposed to be only 13 then but she looked so mature. She also looked really nice together with Kenichi Matsuyama, who also did well in his role. Even though she was just 13 and he was supposed to be 19, I was hoping their characters would end up together (at least in the future). They had lots of moments of course, and hints that they liked each other. In the end, I was satisfied enough because it did feel like they ended up together (or they really will someday) but it was still not so happily ever after because it was left kind of hanging.
Well, moving away from trying to turn their relationship into something romantic, they had a nice bond all in all. Even if they actually don’t turn into something more, their friendship was great to watch. They help and look out for each other. When they’re together, they sort of learn about themselves. It was just cool how they both benefit from the relationship.
Watch it…

Finally, the official trailers are out. Only the second one has English subs apparently. At first, I thought it was a prequel, as in before the WHOLE Kira case but no, it’s about the last 23 days of L after he solved the Kira case. I think it was mentioned somewhere that he was looking for a successor. He’s trying to finish this last case before he dies since he wrote his own name in the deathnote and was supposed to die in 23(?) days. This basically picks up where Deathnote: The Last Name left off. Oh, I saw Erika Toda/Misa Amane in the trailer too. I really don’t know what she’s doing there but I’m glad she is since I like her character. So I’m guessing there are L/Misa moments? Hehehe! I like them in fanfiction (I have a thing for non-canon pairings). Ryuk also makes an appearance, yay!
The movie comes out in Japan on February 9, 2008. For now, I will get my fix of Kenichi Matsuyama hotness by watching Shindo, his movie with Narumi Riko (Honey & Clover Live Action Drama, One Litre of Tears), which is now uploaded in crunchyroll.com with English subtitles. Kenichi Matsuyama plays a 19 yr. old pianist who’s very passinate about playing the piano but apparently is not as good as the 13 yr. old girl who hates playing piano, she is played by Narumi Riko.
Here are the trailers of L Change the World.
