Oh my God! This was like the best going away present ever!!! I tried to watch as much as possible - which turned out to be a lot!

Highlights for me...

NINO'S LETTER!! Cho Kawaii!!! I really loved how the members were blown away that it was coming from Nino - the person they least expected to put his feelings in a letter. They all really treasured what he said because they said it wasn't often that he expressed his feelings. Riida looked so touched and MatsuJun cried a bit... Ahh!!!

DANCE COLLAB - I loved the dance collab with 'Ill Ability'. I really liked the behind the scenes footage of the rehearsal. All the boys were so cute there!

JUN IN CAMBODIA - Wow, this was a really great documentary. You have to keep reminding yourself that all the kids on the screen have HIV. It's terrible. Jun looked a little overwhelmed - and I don't blame him. His reaction to the birthday card was adorable.

RIIDA'S ART PROJECT - The VTR of him and the 19 year old woman was so cute. He is really natural with people... even though he doesn't speak up much, when he does he is so easy going and friendly. Throughout the whole 24hrs, I kept thinking 'Oh, come on!! Where's Riida!!?' even though I knew he was working on his 24 figures, I wanted to see him more!! But then when he came on screen I was like, 'Riida!! Get back to your figures!! You won't finish!!' The final product was great - Sasaga Riida, ne!

There were plenty of other cute moments - but I'm too tired to write them down! Shame that its over (although I bet the boys couldn't wait to climb into bed together). But tomorrow there's the behind the scenes Shukudai-kun. Can't wait to see how the boys did behind the cameras! Wonder who was the tiredest (*coughs* Riida *coughs*). Which makes me remember... How super genki was MatsuJun and Sho-kun!!? They are hardcore!

Wah!! Finally! A new album is being released!!! It's out September 24th and I can't wait to get a copy!! It was advertised on SxS tonight and it said one of the tracks was by Will I Am from the Black Eyed Peas - how cool is that!??

Also a tour has been announced for September too. I am so gutted!! After living in Japan for nearly 2 years I have not managed to see a concert - now as I am leaving next week they announce a tours for a couple of weeks after I leave!! Ahhh!! So unfair! Then again - I do wonder if I would have even managed to get tickets - all my quests for Arashi tickets were unsuccessful so I have to tell myself that maybe it would have turned out the same for SMAP.

Anyhow - next week's SMAP promises to be great... WILL SMITH!!! Yeah! My favourite SxS guest and he is returning to the Bistro so it should be great... he will have Charlize Theron in tow though! Hope she's a laugh.

And toight's Shukadai Kun!! Much love between Ohno and Sho!! It was so cute! Ohno was wiping Sho's face and patting him on the back after he had choked on his drink!! I really liked the guest too... (her ichiban was Ohno!) she was an ex-yankee - but she was a nice change from the usual female guests. As for MatsuJun total cop out on the spicy stuff!? What a girl (though I wouldn't have faired much better)! Even Aiba was giving the other stuff a go - but he was sweating like crazy! It seemed that only Ogura and Ohno didn't run over to the 'Oasis Zone' for a drink to cool the tastebuds! Yappari O-Chan!!

God! I'm gonna miss Monday nights after I go back home...

Wow!! What a HOT issue of Wink Up this month! Nearly had a heartattack in the supermarket when I saw this!! Sorry as usual that I can only take photos with my camera and not scan them... but you get the picture (literally!)

Plus - Random musings on Maou episode 8... OMG!!!! Can O-Chan seriously get any hotter!? I love his look in this episode where he gets his fire back after he's been straying on the path of humanity and becoming someone more or less normal. How gay was the fireworks scene!!? I was caught between 'O-chan! Kawaii!!' and laughing at the sheer cheesiness of it! At the end of this episode, I really wondered what they are gonna do for the next 3... How will they conclude this all!? Guess I'll have to wait and see.

I'm not one to bother much about ratings... but 12.1% for episode 7!!! Well Done O-Chan!!! That's a huge leap from last week and so deserved too!!

This was seriously the best episode of the series. It had so much in it. When Ohno said that this drama would become more human as it went on, he wasn't kidding. Ohno did such a beautiful job in this episode - he has layered his character in such an interesting way. The scene between him and Yuka was wonderful - the tears that he shed were so genuine and really broke your heart. Turns out Yuka's character knew all along that he wasn't her brother - but she went along with the pretence because of the kindness he showed her. As he is leaving the room (looking very distressed) she calls his (fake) name and wishes him 'Happy Birthday' - all choked up he finally replies 'Thank you, sister' (I just about died here!!)

Another great bit was when Toma said he wanted to talk to the sister more - Ohno's reaction was so interesting - for the first time we see an emotional anger, not the calculated kind we only seen so far, but a real flare up that he seems to instantly regret.

As for the end - Naruse ends up crying on Shiori's shoulder - I wish he had at least dropped his breifcase!! He seems inseparable from that thing... even though he appears to do no work whatsoever!!

I seriously hate waiting for the next episode!!!

I want to send a positive message to Riida to stay strong in the face of the stupid tabloids. I have to say that seeing the photos, they are not so bad - it just looks like a drunkun night out. But I'm not Japanese - and I know these things can cause a stir. I just hope that the Jimusho thinks carefully before doing anything - the tabloid mentions police but I do not see how police can possibly be involved with just those pictures as evidence. The worst thing that Johnny's could do would be to enforce any kind of suspension - they do that and they may as well suspend the whole of Arashi - he's RIIDA for god's sake!! He's the main vocalist and the best dancer... I can't imagine ANY Arashi performance without him. I mean it was weird when Goro was suspended from SMAP and they carried on, but he was never the main member - can you imagine if they had suspended Takuya or Shingo!! I don't think they would have carried on! So Riida... keep your chin up and I hope that this will pass. Congrats on the rise in ratings for Maou too!

Ohno-kun

Another shower scene!!! I don't think I can take the excitement!! Thank you Osama no Brunch! I'm glad Yuuka is in the drama as I don't much care for the actress that plays Shiori... Another pretty girl with zero personality. Yuuka is just the opposite - pretty but she's so genuine and cute.

Last week's episode was okay - we got to learn more and more about the boy's past and some interesting plot points have started to emerge - but I do think it lacked excitement (and Ohno for that matter). But seeing the preview for next week... it looks so exciting... Seems Ryou gets a tarot card of his own!! Wah - who sent it!!??? I hate to wish my week's away - but I seriously want Friday to come around now!!!!

Hey - I'm jumping on the vote Ohno bandwagon! There's a poll over at TV LIFE's website where you can vote for Ohno in Maou... I've voted an unfair amount of times... Why don't you do the same to make sure he wins it!!

Head over to TV LIFE's WEBPAGE and on the right hand side in a light blue box half way down the page just select...

成瀬領（大野智）『魔王』

Gambatte Riida!!!

Note: The poll says: 夏ドラマの中で、あなたがなりたいキャラといえば? Which means: Out of all the summer dramas, which character would you like to be!? I'm not so sure I actually want to become Riida's psycho character... but hey, if Ohno can be the top of any poll - I'm all for voting!!!

Couldn't resist doing some screen caps of Maou episode one. Was reminded again why I spent so much time shouting 'HOT' at the TV screen last night!

Of course I've included some gratuitous shots of shirtless Ohno and then Nino pinning him (hehe!!).

I capped basically my favourite acting moments from O-Chan. He was so self controlled and used his face amazingly well. No look was overstated or wasted. He was able to pull off having the viewer able to read him and at the same time finding him a bit of a mystery (*tips cap*).

Anyways - only another 6 days till I can see the next episode! Come on Friday!!

Finally got to see the drama I've been waiting for tonight... MAOU!!

First things first - the title song is just TOO good!! Very Ohno-based in the vocals and the chorus is a killer!

So to the drama - the first episode was basically a set up of both the characters - we got to see exactly why Ohno has become a 'Maou' and why he has it in for Toma...

I was very distracted for at least the first 30 minutes because I was just constantly shouting, 'God Damn Ohno!! You're HOT!!!' There were many close ups not to mention him in the shower and then getting dressed! Toma didn't fair badly either in the looks department - it has to be said he spent most of the episode either running or shouting though.

The last 15 minutes or so really did it for me though - the story kind of pulled together and got me intrigued for the next episode. Also Ohno showed some emotion with a good bit of crying! And his smile in the last scene... [shivers!]

As for Nino in the first episode - Oh My God - he was in it for like 30 seconds!! But him pushing Riida against the wall... I was like 'KISS HIM!!'  I really hope he appears again as it was all too short.

Now I have to wait another week to see the next episode... [Sighs!]
