Sensei Shiranaino? September comes after August.
Sensei Shiranaino
I was surprised because I never knew about the existence of this drama. I have heard about most smap dramas from their talks in variey shows/ concert MC or from music shows or special drama promotion shows, but I'm under the impression they never talked about this one? Probably that's why I immediately downloaded it even though there are other dramas on my watch list, lol.
It took me some time to finish the first episode and I thought of dropping it at some point. But I'm glad I didn't. It's a nice and touching school drama about growing up. I loved the gradual evolution of the characters: Yusaku, the 5-2 class, and Haruna sensei. The kids were brilliant.
Among all the characters played by Tsuyoshi, I think Yusaku is the one who has the most similarities with his real personality. He is straightforward, open, sometimes childish, and gets hot headed against injustice.
Shinohara Tomoe's character was rather annoying though. I love the girl herself and her interactions with KinKi. But I just wish they toned down her variety character a bit to be less annoying for a drama.
I also love the opening sequence. We don't get this kind of openings nowadays. The theme song by Yamashita Tatsuro is just BEAUTIFUL. I kept listening to it with every episode and it's still stuck in my head.
September
It's the last month before the End of The World. Lol.
I don't know what I'm expecting. Maybe there will be things happening, good things or bad things. And maybe nothing will happen and I don't know if that would be a good thing or a bad thing.
I don't even know if september should be actually a significant deadline. There's all this theory about contract negociations. And of course there's also 9/9. But Nakai said he would talk to us in the end of the year, so maybe that's the real deadline we should be waiting for? On the other hand, Nakai says a lot of things and as much as I trust the man and his deeds, I can't really say I trust his words XD
In all cases, I can't help but see september as a big deadline before the Unknown. The idea has been implanted in my mind since January. I've been unable to imagine or plan for anything after september. Funny thing, I wasn't even able to take my annual leave from work or plan for it until now. Of course it's not the only reason nor the most important, but I have to be honest and admit that the smap situation is definitely one of the reasons.
The only thing I can say for sure: No matter what happens, I don't want to run away this time.
I spent my life running away from everything: things that were important for me, people I loved, my memories, my past, places I belonged to, things that belonged to me, my own feelings. I ran away because I was too scared, because I didn't want to get hurt, because I couldn't think of another way to survive and keep going.
I know I'm a coward, I will keep running away from many things for the rest of my life. But there is this one thing I don't want to run away from, or I simply just can't.
