Arashi ni Shiyagare 25102010

While waiting for Natsuniji ep 10 to download, I started on Arashi ni Shiyagare (25/10/2010 ep). And I discovered this:


While the table was being pushed onto the stage, it got stuck a little.


This jerked the table, causing one of the baseball stands to topple over.


But soon, we see someone reaching out for the toppled stand and the baseball.

I didn't have to guess who the hands belong to, because I had, right at the start of the episode, noticed the interesting prints on his jacket.


There. The baseball stand is back upright.

Nino, our meticulous Nino.
Nino, our down-to-earth Nino.
You who give such witty remarks on tv and on paper.
You who made me feel so touched on the recent SCP.

I love you!

I'll continue watching the episode another day. My eyes are shutting!

[EDIT]
Finally finished Natsuniji. It was a nice ending, and I especially liked the part where Taiga had his stage greetings. When he raised from his bow, he saw his father at the back of the hall. My eyes got watery at that moment....because, more than a love story, the drama was about a son proving himself, working towards his childhood dream, and exploring the potential his father saw in him. It was too late, because his father had passed on...but...surely, somehow, his hard work would have made his father proud.
