One Love

[karened]

Jun leaked it, right? One Love...I listened to it but I wasn't impressed on first hearing. As compared to Wish and Love So Sweet, One Love is less catchy...

But I was rushing to do some final edits to my Korean eassy this morning and I put the song on repeat mode. Then, after half an hour, I grew to like it!!! Does anyone feel that the song, especially the chorus part, sounds like it can be put into a Chinese period movie? That chorus part which starts with 「百年先も愛を誓うよ」/「どんな君も　どんな僕でも」, shut your eyes and listen to it!! Slow it down just a little and it will be a perfect fit for a period melodrama or something.　Aniwaes, I can totally imagine how the song can be insert into the HYDF movie...The lyrics fit the plot as well!!

Oh, talking about the Korean essay, I finally handed it in during class today and it had about 30 lines. THEN, during class, my teacher gave us more details about the presentation we're supposed to do next week. We have to memorise the essay (which introduces ourselves and our family to the class) and present it in class. The presentation isn't new: the memorisation part was. How am I to memorise it???? There were so many new words I searched and used in the essay and many were tongue twisters. I'm so dead!! And there's a project we need to do - research on and write about 5 places to visit in Seoul, in both English and Korean. *dies*. It's due next Friday, our last lesson, which is always the day we have our oral test and listening test. A week after that, we'll have our Korean exam. Everything's sweeping in like a wave!!! I don't know how I'll do in the exam. =S

One consolation is that we've just learnt the days of the week today and fortunately, the Korean words for the days are very similar to the Japanese ones. Unfortunately, that means I may just mix them up. =X

Oh, I'm almost finishing my Koizora novel. I had put it down for a while before and during the exam period but picked it up again when Special Term started. Hiro has just passed away in the chapter I was reading...and this particular sms he sent out to his buddy Nozomu just 4 days before he died really felt so sad...

＜ノゾムへ。俺はそろそろ死ぬかもしれねぇ。

なんとなくわかる。俺が死んだら美嘉が一人になる。

本当は美嘉を一人にしたくねぇし俺も死にたくない。

だけどこれはしょうがねぇんだ。

俺が死んだら寂しがりやの美嘉はきっとすげー泣くだろうしすげー落ち込むと思う。

だからもし俺が死んだらノゾム、おまえが美嘉を支えてやってほしい。美嘉に現実を教えてやってくれ。

そしてもしいつかほかに美嘉を守ってくれる男が現れたら、そいつに美嘉をよろしくって言ってやってほしい。

俺が美嘉を守ってやれないのがすげー悔しいけど、俺のせいで美嘉が一人で寂しがっている姿を見るのが何よりつらいから。

最後にノゾムおまえは最高のダチだった。

幸せになれよ！　いろいろありがとな”＞

< To Nozomu. I'll probably die soon. Somehow I know it. If I died, Mika will become alone. Actually, I don't want to let her become all by herself and I don't want to die. If I died, Mika, who easily becomes lonely, will definitely cry her heart out and feel really sad. So if I died, Nozomu, I want you to give Mika support. Tell Mika about the reality for me. And if a guy who will protect Mika appears one day, I want you to tell that guy to take care of Mika. Although I'm extremely regretful that I cannot protect Mika, it is most heartbreaking to see Mika lonesome and all alone because of me. Lastly, Nozomu, you were the best friend. Be happy! Thanks for everything. >

Although I've heard people saying the movie was more touching and sad than the novel, I found it the same..both are really sad. I cried during the movie because of the music, the expressions on the cast's face, the dialogues...and I cried while reaing the novel because of the words which made quite an impact. Now I'm waiting for the dorama! I wonder who will take up the roles? Oh, I saw the koizora dvd in stores here in S'pore so fellow S'poreans, go grab a copy! Angeline, help me buy at Japan k? XP

haha I didn't want to too, but somehow I just clicked on the song. hehe...You know, the first time I heard DAL was just during the past weekend! It was good! YES!! If they would include those scenes into the dorama..it will be darn sad. Maybe it will bring 1/2 litre of tears ne. But in the novel, Mika didn't get to see Hiro for the last time..as in, she went home after visiting him at the hospital and that was it. The next day, while she was on her way to the hospital, he died. =( I don't think such a love exist na...Although this novel is based on a real story, some stuff must have be added/exaggerated to give the effect ne. *shrugs* Such love is just too sweet ne.
Nino?
JUN JUN!! heh

Yup. By her. Yes, there's a few things that are different and I found the novel much more touching...I think most of those stuff they left out in the movie will be put into the dorama so it'll be good!!

Yup. I just finished the novel and at the end, there was a note by Mika where she gave a brief explanation why she wrote the novel, and also something like an epilogue. In the novel, Hiro was allowed to discharge from the hospital for three days and after that 3 days, when he went back to the hospital, Mika and him made a promise. Mika said that they were separated for too long and too much things happened to each of them which the other party didn't know about. So she made a promise with him that they will write down these incidents in a notebook and exchange it when he recovers and is discharged from the hospital. However, he died so that promise can never be fulfilled. So by publishing the novel, to her it was a different kind of way to fulfill her promise. When Hiro died, Mika received his notebook so I think that was how kimisora came about - that's the novel about Hiro since they broke up.
TOUCHING ne...
Oh, on a side note, Mika got pregnant again (a result from a date they had during the third day Hiro was allowed out of the hospital) but she only got to know it after he died...but it seems like she didn't manage to keep it. I think. =/

touching indeed >.<

 

so that means, she didnt keep the baby?

karened replied to 金言’s comment:
May 28, 2008
I don't think she aborted it. I think something happened..maybe another miscarriage or something but during her first pregnancy, after the miscarriage, the doctor told her it was difficult for her to get pregant again..but she did! Maybe she didn't manage to carry it to full term T.T

thats sad, if nothing happened to the baby... if she ever bear the child... that would be good, to see a child that reminds her of hiro...Ü
