The conclusion of Doramitsu's Trip to Okayama

Draken and Mitsuya managed to win over Hansen, Hansen admitted his defeat, and then they both ended up going to the Ryusenji Temple in Okayama.

I think, they prayed there too, sort of making a wish from the context I get from these conversations.

(Please keep it in mind that I rely on Google Translates, feel free to correct me or add more context to this)

Mitsuya asked Draken what he asked for, and Draken said that if he's telling Mitsuya then they (the wishes) won't come true. Mitsuya agreed by saying let's keep them a secret. Then, Mitsuya said, It's getting dark, so they had to go home.

In Love and Deep Water

Movies watched in 2023

In Love and Deep Water (2023, Japan)

Director: Yusuke Taki

Writer: Yuji Sakamoto

Mini-review:

I enjoyed this a lot. It's far from Yuji Sakamoto's best work, but even his lesser scripts still have above-average quality. I must admit I didn't really care for the murder-mystery part of the story, although the final twist did surprise me more than I expected. That being said, I definitely liked the romcom parts way more. The writing is as witty as one could expect from Sakamoto, and Ryo Yoshizawa and Aoi Miyazaki know how to play off each other. The banter between their characters is delightful. The rest of the cast is also great, and it's clear the actors had fun making this movie. On top of that, I also loved the social commentary that permeates the plot without overwhelming it. Overall, I had fun with In Love and Deep Water.

上星期因為看了「初戀」、我突然決定來我初戀的高中找一下我的初戀..... 結果早上4：30起床開始出發、馬不停蹄的趕路....搭車、搭飛機、轉JR、轉新幹線、最後再租汽車直奔我的初戀....的高中. 因為大塞車我到學校已經天黑了。但是初戀沒找到，因為我唯一知道的名字是‘奈津子’. 以上都是真的只是我沒跟這位女生交往過...如果她也喜歡我的話劇情就可以照電視一樣的演法了⋯⋯ 好啦 ,其實是呢...因為92年我剛好來這地方交換留學生,我住了一個日本人的家,然後日本媽媽姊姊妹妹很照顧我,請不要誤會劇情喔 ,因為英文真的是叫Host family, 所以日文就理所當然叫媽媽跟姊姊.然後因為換過無數次手機跟無數次住家,我就把所有資料都換到不見了。只留下一個日本地址，然後因為天時地利人和、快速的幫全家更新護照還有新辦護照我決定第一站就往日本家衝了⋯⋯ 晚上7點多一點,我去敲門了,結果日本媽媽就出來了,完全沒變也馬上認出我來了！ 馬上來個外國人的擁抱、我就帶著一家五口直接衝進別人家。(其實日本人不太喜歡這樣)但是也沒辦法，因為外面實在是太冷了(4度)。瞬間留學時期的記憶湧入滿滿的回憶。 很開心但是時間很不夠、我們有滿滿的話題可以聊、最後我交換了姊姊跟妹妹的line已經足夠、再也不會失聯了。 這次這麼成功其實要感謝我一位日本秘密好友的幫忙、（我們就叫她安井小姐）剛好認識當年教我日文的Ken老師（現在是該所高中的校長）還有另一位工藤老師突然聯絡上可以趕上這次的快速聚會、剛剛好30年而已。 然後Ken老師幫我聯絡到我的host family說他們還住在同一個地方、我才有辦法直接去敲門⋯⋯一切都要感謝這位神秘日本朋友安井小姐。下次見面一定要讓我請一頓好的。 廢話不多說了、上圖片了。（在 Okayama-shi, Okayama, Japan） https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSjxqCA--f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Saiai (Dearest): Seberapa Jauh Takdir Bisa Mempertemukanmu Kembali…

I’m crazy for you

Oh, someone who can upend my whole life

Ah, this feels like endless deja vu

I’m losing my mind, I’m so crazy for you

Musim gugur tahun 2021 dipenuhi dengan deretan drama-drama papan atas. Menurut saya pribadi ada tiga drama Jepang yang membuat saya jatuh cinta di musim gugur tahun 2021 ini: Avalanche, Japan Sinks dan Saiai. Nah langsung saja berikut ini review singkat mengenai Saiai.

Saiai (Dearest)

Director: Tsukahara Ayuko

Writer: Okudera Satoko, Shimizu Yukako

Network: TBS

Episodes: 10

Release Date: Oct 15 - Dec 17, 2021

TV Ratings: 8.7%

Cast: Yoshitaka Yuriko, Matsushita Kouhei, Iura Arata, Yakushimaru Hiroko, Mitsuishi Ken, Okayama Amane, Sakou Yoshi, Asai Daichi, Sakuma Yui, Tsuda Kenjiro, Tanaka Minami, Oikawa Mitsuhiro, Takahashi Fumiya

Saiai bercerita tentang Sanada Rio (Yoshitaka Yuriko) yang di tahun 2006 hidup di desa kecil di Gifu, ketika suatu saat terjadi kasus hilangnya seorang mahasiswa di Universitas tempat ayahnya, Asamiya Tatsuo (Mitsuishi Ken) bekerja sebagai juru masak. Di malam hilangnya mahasiswa tersebut Rio samar-samar mengingat sebuah kenyataan mengerikan. Selanjutnya, ia diminta ayahnya untuk ikut ibunya di Tokyo dan setelah ikut dengan ibunya, Sanada Azusa (Yakushimaru Hiroko), Rio belajar ilmu farmasi di perguruan tinggi dan kini di tahun 2021 ketika ia sudah menginjak 30 tahun, Rio menjadi CEO muda dari Sanada Wellness, anak perusahaan dari Sanada Holdings yang dipegang Sanada Azusa. Rio menjadi pusat perhatian karena pencapaiannya menjadi CEO di usia yang begitu muda dan sosoknya yang cantik. Namun suatu hari, Rio lebih menjadi dari sekedar pusat perhatian karena ia menjadi saksi dalam sebuah kasus pembunuhan yang ternyata berkaitan dengan kasus hilangnya mahasiswa di tahun 2006. Pengacara keluarga Sanada, Kanichiro Kase (Iura Arata) berusaha melindungi Rio apa pun yang terjadi. Namun seorang detektif, Miyazaki Daiki (Matsushita Kouhei), berusaha mencari kebenaran atas kaitan kejadian di tahun 2021 dan 2006 sekalipun Sanada Rio adalah cinta pertamanya.

Saiai menyuguhkan drama misteri berbalut romance, dengan banyak kenangan campur aduk ditunjukkan lewat waktu yang pas. Cara penulis menulis cerita maju mundur di tahun 2006 kemudian maju kembali ke tahun 2021 di seluruh episode membuat Saiai semakin menarik. Judul Saiai sendiri sangat tepat untuk menggambarkan cerita ini, karena seluruh misteri yang menyelubungi kisah yang mengkaitkan kasus di tahun 2006 dan 2021 semata-mata merupakan cara seseorang melindungi orang yang ia sayangi.

Sutradara dari drama ini bukanlah orang baru dalam dunia drama. Ya, Tsukahara Ayuko juga merupakan sutradara kondang yang mungkin bisa dianggap kesayangan channel TBS. sebelumnya ia mengerjakan drama Kikazaru Koi niha Riyuu ga Atte (Why I Dress Up For Love), MIU 404, Unnatural, dan salah satu drama favorit saya, Second Love. Untuk dua penulis naskah sayangnya saya kurang mengenali karya-karya Okudera Satoko, tapi Shimizu Yukako mungkin cukup dikenal karena menjadi penulis naskah adaptasi drama Korea Selatan She Was Pretty (Kanojo wa Kirei Datta) yang tayang di musim panas 2021 dan diperankan oleh Nakajima Kento serta Fuka Koshiba dan Eiji Akaso.

Duet Maut Yoshitaka Yuriko dan Matsushita Kouhei

Menurut saya, Saiai tidak akan berhasil tanpa permainan peran hebat dari 4 tokoh utama di masa depan: Yoshitaka Yuriko, Matsushita Kouhei, Iura Arata dan Takahashi Fumiya. Menariknya, tiga aktor dan aktris yang disebut di awal adalah para bintang papan atas Jepang, tapi Takahashi Fumiya terbilang baru dalam wajah industri drama dan film Jepang. Itulah sebabnya saya yakin Takahashi Fumiya akan semakin laris manis ke depannya.

Yoshitaka Yuriko adalah aktris terkenal Jepang yang selalu ciamik membawakan karakter yang ia perankan. Saya ingat menonton perannya pertama kali dalam film Bokura Ga Ita (We Were There) bersama Ikuta Toma, sebuah film cerita cinta SMA yang manis dan hangat dan juga dipenuhi oleh rasa rindu. Penampilan keduanya berhasil membuat penonton tersihir atas chemistry mereka. Yoshitaka Yuriko juga termasuk aktris yang hebat karena ia bisa dengan mudah dirias sebagai anak SMA/kuliah dan juga menjadi seorang wanita eksekutif muda secara bersamaan.

Kali ini, ia dipasangkan dengan Matsushita Kouhei, yang memerankan cinta pertamanya. Saya sudah pernah melihat penampilan Matsushita Kouhei dalam drama musim gugur tahun 2020 berjudul Remolove kala ia dipasangkan dengan Haru dalam kisah cinta virtual di tengah kondisi Covid-19. Menurut saya, Matsushita Kouhei pintar membangun chemistry dengan lawan mainnya, karena ia sangat ekspresif dan tatapannya benar-benar penuh penghayatan. Ah, kalau bermain peran dengannya sudah pasti baper!

Tidak lupa, peran hebat Iura Arata sangat mendulang keberhasilan Saiai. Saya sudah melihat kehebatannya dalam drama Rich Man Poor Woman dalam kisah cinta segitiga antara Oguri Shun dan Ishihara Satomi. Jika dalam Rich Man Poor Woman saya terkesima melihat Iura Arata berebut kekuasaan dan hati Ishihara Satomi dengan Oguri Shun, dalam drama Saiai saya takjub melihat kehebatannya memainkan peran pengacara penuh kepiawaian dengan lagak utamanya poker face.
