Well, I think itLs not her fault but more the producers and songwriters. Were the first 3 albums from others than License and the new single?

Yeah, the producer for the new single also worked on License ("1 million thanks" only, I think)

I wonder if she'll be singing the theme song for "Hotelier" :fingerscrossed:

Thanks for the upload gloomy!

Even though I don't know what the song is about, I still like it, except for the background singers at the end repeating "heaven..." :sweat:

I put a rip for download on kizuna :victory:

It reminds me of SMAP's "Dear Woman" (same producer), not what I usually go for but I quite like how she sings it ;D
can't wait to see the dancing :hehe:

Here are lyrics (parts in red I'm not sure) to go with it:

fukinukeru kaze haru wo tsugeru dakara arukidasou wow oh...

Just learnt from a magazine that aya's new song is a dancing song (that's why she mentioned in her blog some~ days before that she's taking a dancing lesson). So, what ak6 guesses may be correct. :applaud:

@Thy-san, your mom's really great!!!!!! She can translate Rikouran from Jap. to English? :shocked: :shocked: And most important is that she'd like to do so for her son! :shocked: :shocked: Mom's love is really very GREAT!!!!!! :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: There're about 2-3 Chi. sub teams (all should come from the mainland), 'Subpig' is always the fastest one among them. On average, it can release subs in about 2-4 days after release in Japan. Sugoi!

Thanks for the song link Gloomy! It sounds nice but i'm a little disappointed.. I was hoping for something "new." I think a techno/trance dance song with aya would be great! lol no hope for that though... I was hoping the fans would go out of the box but it looks like they let dance win. darn them.. Only 1 unknown song to go.

My mom can't translate japanese lol she translated thhe subbig version! Cause she knows Chinese. But yea, she cares about me a lot! I mean, who else would just keep translating the ENTIRE show, and talking non-stop. It's like watching a movie at at theatre and having to talk out ever piece of dialogue. Gotta love her =)

Her smoking scene looks like a real smoking scene but i hope it isn't. She lights up a cigarrette, real smoke comes out, she blows smoke, and then she starts coughing XD

And if anyone watched Rikouran, did you see that woman dressed up kinda like a man (wearing army clothes). It's SOOO CREEPY! She tells aya that she wants to be called brother WTF#@*#&!*&#!?? I thought Rikouran was gonna be a lesbian love story.....

Yeah mom's love for their son can be freaking powerful sometimes too... :naughty: This is something to be experienced :beaten: That's cool for u thygriever-san.

About chinese teams, It's very good, for sure chinese people know how to focus on a thing. I like how work is taken serious by them. Really. I don't know which other ethnicity can do the same.

btw thy-san, can u explain me the scene that begins at episode 2, 00:26:41 ? Why does the chinese girl break her friendship with Li Xiang Lan ? What does she say ? (I truly think that girl is the character that has the most a mandarin accent in the drama, along with the judge). (Hm and it's the scene where aya speaks the worst mandarin, in my opinion :beaten: )

Sorry, I havent watched part 2 yet. Only 1 lol

I think the smoking scene was real. Would be a bit much to use effects for this.
But as she looks extremely unexperianced when lightning the cigarette so ILm totally sure that she doesnLt smoke on real life :mrgreen:

o_O translating sub pig version LOOOOOOOOOOL :applaud: U got a real chance having a wonderful chinese'speaking mom :mrgreen:

Well the cigarette probably doesn't have anything in it. I mean no tabacco, no nicotin and all. At least I hope. I Hope the producers took care of Aya's heatlh !

That woman is the other Yoshiko, chinese brought up by a nihonjin general right ? yeah she's a biut depressive but I need to undersatnd what she says first before answering you :beaten:

wooo so much talk for 5 sec cigarette smoke :naughty: You guys are soo protective you're like chicken sitting on their eggs.
I expected such a talk rather for a kissing scene, 'cause if u guys haven't noticed it yet, there is one in the beginning of ep 2, and it's kinda "forced" :naughty:

Onegai aibo. Don't use the word "jap" again.

Abbreviate to JPN. or spell out Japanese.

why can't it be a dud?? I hope it's fake. She looks unexperienced because in the show it was supposed to be her first time trying a cigarrette!

Well, as you know, smoking is addictive. For MOST, it takes 1-2 cigarrettes to create an addict. If aya had to do this real cigarette scene then i think either she's a regular smoker or the directors were wrong to make someone start smoking for such a small scene. I find it totally unattractive when a girl smokes. Plus, it's not too healthy.

BUT, I have an idea. there's a good chance she doesn't smoke cause she loves her teeth too much. She goes to the dentist a lot so I doubt she goes there to clean up her yellow teeth lol Or the paparrazis woulda probably busted on her by now.

Oh! I finally figure out which 'smoking scene' you're talking about. Sorry! :sweat: As I don't treat it as a smoking scene, so I couldn't recall it. :mrgreen:

To me, this scene is quite good (Don't beat me :mrgreen: ). It shows the cutie and naughty sides of Rikouran. Of course, the director can use other ways to express this idea, but to me, even blowing smoke to one's face like this one, it doesn't matter. :mrgreen:

As you may know, the main difference between a real smoker and a non-smoker who pretends to smoke is: note where the exhaled smoke comes from. If the smoke just comes from one's mouth, that means the somke hasn't gone to the lungs and circulated through the respiratory system, i.e. he didn't smoke. On the other hand, if the exhaled smoke comes from one's nose, that means he did smoke. When I'm watching dramas, I often like to see which actors are real smokers, which aren't. :mrgreen: And it's quite difficult to get addicted in smoking if you never try to inhale the smoke into your lungs.

Same as you, I also don't like somking, particularly women, as it's no good to health. If there're smokers here, it's advised to stop it. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

ps. Applaud to your mom again. Really very great! :applaud: :applaud:

The most basic reason for Rikouran's friend to break freindship w/ her is: Rikouran is japanese, while the fighting between china and japan was getting more and more serious. Her friend knew Rikouran is a japanese shortly after the anti-Japanese campaign (in part 1, do you remember?) But she and some other classmates didn't think it's a big problem because Rikouran's their valuable friend. However, as the war's getting worse and worse, her friend decided to join the chinese army and fight against Japan. That means all Japaneses are her enemies. So she says goodbye to Rikouran and formally ends their friendship. :puppydog:

It's hard to say who's right, who's wrong during wartime. But I'm really moved by the pure friendship between Rikouran and her Russian friend. So great! :applaud:

@gloomy-san, You've done a wonderful work! Many thanks. :applaud: :applaud:

But that's true, no way. :hehe: :hehe: You may find it more CREEPY~~~ by watching the photo of the real Kawashima Yoshiko :hehe: :
(remember: she's a lady, not a man.)

I wonder if she struggled against doing it as much as kissing scenes.
We often hear something like "eeek I had to da a kissing scene" but there was nothing this time as for this smoking scene in Ri :hehe:

Yes, I hope theyLll finish translating the chinese subs even sooner than the "official" english Ri subs will be released :fingerscrossed:

cigarette: I donLt think one cigarette will be a problem for her health (I just hope whe didnLt have to redo this scene lots of times and ended up liking cigarettes :sweat: )
But I think it was a real cigarette. What else should it have been as she was able to lit it and smoke ;)
