Last Friends tackles issues that afflict the current generation. Michiru’s mother has brought a man back to their home and she is bullied at her workplace where she works as a beauty parlour assistant. She starts cohabiting with her boyfriend, a good young man who works at the Child Welfare Division and the only person who can give her emotional support, but ends up the victim of domestic violence and becomes fearful of love. The boyishly charming Ruka was a classmate of Michiru’s in junior high school. She has performed brilliantly as a motocross racer and aims to win the national championship, but as the story progresses, a deep worry that she can neither confide in her parents or close friends grows evident. Takeru is a hair and makeup artist acquainted with Ruka. He is a good confidant to females due to his kindness and perceptiveness, and finds himself attracted to Ruka but has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life. –jade_frost

I’m so sorry. This is a super late post. I actually found out about this in Tokyograph the same day I found out about Cirque du Freak. D: I’m totally cramming on my updates right now. I don’t know why I seem stressed despite the fact it’s already vacation. :/

Because I need to organize everything, though I will still be updating. I’m planning on fixing all the posts by artist since categories such as “News” and “Downloads” are kind of vague. Just a little patience, please, and sorry for the inconvenience for making things convinient. xD Thank you. :D
edit:
Started fixing categories. -032708
Removed ALBUM LIST, SINGLE LIST, PV LIST pages. 032708

Comments:
So, basically, his drama SP, Lost Time” Life, is going to become a butai/stage play, so this means more work for Kei! But, I’m sure he enjoys it, anyway. xD First, it was High School Musical, now Lost Time: Life on stage. Yes, I hope you have more projects in the future, Keichan! Oh, that reminds me, I have to go download that drama SP! ♥

Another header! :D This time, it features one of my favorite bands, Janne da Arc! ♥ The photo used was from a shoot last February 2006 for ARENA37 Magazine. :D Again, colors don’t really match, but that’s what makes it, well, unique. (I guess. xD) Anyway, the previous header, the one that featured Kusano Hironori, was made and put up for his birthday. This time, I have made and put it up for no specific reason. Seriously. xD I thought, “Hey, why not make a JDA banner?”. So, there you have it. :D
I’ve decided to change the headers every 20th of the month, since I changed it today, March 20. LOL. So, JDA will be up starting today, until April 19. :]

Comments:
Uhh, okay. I don’t know anything about this yet. I was poking around DramaWiki looking for a list of Domoto Koichi’s dramas and clicked Sushi Oji!. Then I read the article and under Notes, it said that there will ba a movie adaptation of the drama that will be released in May of this year. Turns out that the movie was actually announced before the drama was even aired. Weird. Not sure about the cast. I tried to look in DramaWiki but this is all I’ve got. Hopefully I’ll get some info in BNS. :)
edit: Updated the cast :D

Comments:
First Tonisen single in over 3 years! I love V6 and prefer Tonisen from Kamisen. Seriously. Because Masa and Inocchi are so great! Oh, and Nagano is great, too. :D Yes, yes. ♥♥♥ CDJ doesn’t mention what kind of song it is, but I’m guessing it’s one of those slow songs. If not, then maybe it’s a little upbeat? But, anyway, I’m looking forward to it. ♥♥♥
