I want to come up with a list of my best memories of 2009! Here is what I will remember 2009 by… Dramas

Jin, with out a doubt, I was glued to the TV screen. The characters were awesome. I loved the bromance between Ryoma and Jin. It was one hell of a love quadruplet or something like that… And the foetus… just when you thought you could sleep at night the foetus made a reappearance. Great show, but I hope that they make a special because I want the ONE question answered. Not the one about Mikki, the one about who the hell…. Runners up: Buzzer Beat was more about the change room than the basketball, and Tokyo Dogs was amusing too. Also, to check out what I actually watched in 2009, as far as my memory can remember, check out my Watched List, 2009. Opening Music/Sequence for Dramas

Jin again. I always got goose bumps whenever it played and wouldn’t think about using the fast forward button/using it as a toilet break. Runners up: Liar game, I always enjoyed the quick opening sequence for that show and the feel of the music. With Season 2 they’ve left it short and sweat but still bouncy. Also loved Tokyo Dogs opening (even better than Liar Game…) – the closing music was rubbish but the opening theme was upbeat and made me look forward tot he show. Also love the graphic sequence! Movies I didn’t watch as many movies as I would have liked this year, so by default it is Ballad. It stars SMAP’s Kusanagi Tsuyoshi and Aragaki Yui. I can’t wait to see it with English subs to pick up on some things I missed, and it wasn’t a perfect movie either, but I enjoyed it and it was great seeing it at the movies. I hope I will make an effort to see more movies in 2010.

Best Song Bz’s イチブトゼンブ, theme song of Buzzer Beat. Nice upbeat and catchy song! Here’s the lyrics, in Japanese, so you can practise your reading skills and get ready for some karaoke!: Show ▼

「アナタは私のほんのイチブしか知らない」 勝ち誇るように笑われても　それほどイヤじゃないよ 生まれてくる前　聞いたようなその深い声 それだけで人生のオカズになれるくらいです すべて知るのは到底無理なのに 僕らはどうして あくまでなんでも征服したがる カンペキを追い求め 愛しぬけるポイントがひとつありゃいいのに もしそれが君のほんのイチブだとしても 何よりも確実にはっきり好きなところなんだ 困った時　少しまゆげを曲げてみせたり 抱きよせるとホッとするような柔らかさだったり すべて掴んだつもりになれば また傷つくだろう ほんとに要るのは有無を言わせない 圧倒的な手ざわり 愛しぬけるポイントがひとつありゃいいのに 君にしかわからないこと　僕だけが見えていること どれもホントのこと すべて何かのイチブってことに 僕らは気づかない 愛しい理由を見つけたのなら もう失わないで 愛しぬけるポイントがひとつありゃいいのに それだけでいいのに

Maybe it’ll last, maybe it wont, but here’s the video:

SMAPxSMAP Episode Air Date: 09-03-09 Rate This Episdoe: Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it. I really enjoyed this episode! It had a lot in it. Paris Hilton, Mei-chan no Shitsuji cast, Horikita Maki, Kamiji Yusuke, and someone who I assume is some baseball player. Lots of laughs, lots of fun

First we have Takuya Kimura dressed up as a girl. He’s very pretty. He and some friends meet Paris Hilton. She gives Kimura some glasses. In return they give her some presents. Except the presents Kimura gives aren’t very nice presents.

You can tell most of it was set up and that Paris is a really bad actor. She’s good at just smiling. That’s about all…

In the end she went off with Kimura because he promised her she would be introduced to the guy in the photo below at a party.

Next section was SMAP Bistro, with the Mei-chan no Shitsuji cast. I love these guys, they are so cute! Smap all picked on Takeru which was cute, and someone, I forget who, accidently called him “Wataru” or some such, and the other guys jumped in “Wataru?”

Yes, I think Takeru is adorable. What a little cutie.

Katori dressed up as a sheep. Highly amusing.

Of course Katori and Kimura won.

  Next was a quiz with Horikita Maki and Kamiji Yusuke. Nakai wouldn’t let Yusuke promote his new special that’s airing, “Kamiji Yusuke Monogatari”, a documentary about himself. Instead he kept allowing Maki talk about her show, “Chance”.

Now, Maki-chan, this is your real smile! Wear it more often!

  The guys then threw balls which who I assume is a baseball player. They tried to guess the speed they would throw the ball at, and in the end the base ball guy got it. For some reason, Katori was dressed as a cow.

  Lastly they sang some song but I am not sure what it was because I feel asleep and conveniently woke up when it was over…

yawn. Lucky the rest was good.
