Ogurin isn't a main focused character and Michiru doesn't have an attachment to him. He's not going to die. All Oguri is just the light factor the show, if he wasn't in there, it'd be watching something like 14sai no Haha or Watashitachi no Kyoukasho --- a heavy show with no sign of light at the end of the tunnel.

I don't really think it's Ruka anymore...
Hidden:
Michiru saying「そっちの空はどう？」(How's the sky over there?) coupled with Ruka saying she wants to go to America nearly made me knock her off my list completely. At this point, I think it's between Takeru and Sousuke now.

I gotta say...too much heated discussions already.
Rather than add to these comments....I will lament to my obsession.
Not only am I the only one obsessed with the cups, but it seems Takeru is also. He seems to be the wrangler and keeper of these cups. Like how Yuuki generously noted in episode 4 for me (thank you ), Takeru gets everyone in the house a cup. However, poor Eri and Ogurin are still not a part of the inner circle (meaning they got soup/tea looking cups instead of the mugs ).
Check out how the purple and blue cup are closely placed together...sigh it's so sweet how "Takeru" and "Ruka" are placed "together."
Then in episode 5, he is the one polishing/cleaning the cups. Oh, and he's also drinking from it most of the time. Cup galore
BUT WAIT
Hidden:
....we have a some pottery smashing...that is Souske's threaded bowl (the set he got to match with Michiru) which means we can all breathe cuz he is no longer the one in the picture...meaning he's a goner b/c he has no bowl to eat with everyone
Episode 5 went at a much slower pace, but I adore how Michiru really stepped it up in talking back to Souske. Despite it being a bittersweet episode with feelings getting slammed...I can't help but love how supportive and observant Takeru is to Ruka. I am glad to see they added an extra 12th episode because I think this drama will aim more at establishing the relationship and support from friends rather than turning it into a love fest.
Because like the rough translation from Juri's old documentary "Love isn't everything...even people who suck and are in love still suck" lol[/img]
Yay~ The return of the crazy cup obsessed lady!
That's a nice read after all the seriousness. And yeah, it's been a while since we talk about the cups. Lol, I didn't even notice the closeness between Ruka and Takeru's cups. I guess it symbolizes that their relationship is probably the closest so far. Seeing as how 'far' away Michiru is now. Takeru is kinda in the middle of their relationship. Always trying to provide a listening ear to both and trying to bring them closer together. =3
Michiru really did try to stand up to Sosuke, it made me feel good for a while. Up till the last scene of course...They're really killing us with how they end each episode...;_;
And I loved what Juri said in Kagayaku Onna. Haha.

You can actually buy those cups LOL They're at a store in Japan, I forgot where, but you can buy them pinch They're cute cups!
Hmm, I think they're only available for purchase from the Fuji TV LF official site. That's why I say it's smart advertising. I want one too!

Yeap. Add that one with my previous list, I'm 99% sure. My thoughts are on Takeru and Sosuke too. Despite how they made Takeru narrate using the future tense, it could all meet up in a moment when life and death is decided. You know, something like people flashing back just before they are about to die? (though I really hope it's not the case! Takeru is just too precious an existence~). Sosuke has an equal chance too...we'll see.

I don't think it is one of our three narrators, mainly because they are narrating. I am leaning towards Sosuke, mainly because his character probably deserves to be in jail and I don't think it'll go that way. My other option is Eri, - but only in that she gets in the way when one of the other characters was about to be killed.
It is a big question, however, as to why Ruka, Michiru and Takeru are not together any more... Maybe it has something to do with the cups! ;)

Well, we don't know that Takeru, Ruka and Eri (and Ogurin) aren't still living together. We only know that Michiru 'disappeared from Ruka's sight' at some point. But we'll definitely have to pay more attention to the cups~ They have all the answers! (the t-shirts and the card game too of course). ;) Just look at the queen of spades underneath the winning pair. It obviously means something! I think the card in fortune telling means something like a 3rd party in a relationship. Normally a woman but in this case, it could be Sosuke since he's the odd one out compared to the 'same kind' of pairing on top. Heheh. And in the game, Hearts, this card can either cause a big penalty or a bigger reward. Depending on how lucky/unlucky you are. Hmm...Lol. I could be over analyzing again but it's interesting so who cares.
Btw, guess what? Utada Hikaru's album shot up to number 1 on the Oricon charts again! I think everyone knows why...=3 (the song helped promote the drama and now the drama is returning the favour~)

Pardon the multiple postings. Some 'inside' scoop I just got~
Spotted. Nagasawa Masami at Inokashira park today getting cozy with Ueno Juri.....nah, just kidding about the last part, hehe... The crew were there filming scenes for Last Friends~ Fyi, the park is the one shown in episode 1. Michiru and Ruka's 'spot'(hmm, was it the same park where Ruka and Takeru talked?). I don't know how far in advance they film the episodes but it means something will happen and Michiru will run there again and Ruka will probably chase after her...So that's it. Since the 'insider' doesn't watch Last Friends and just walked away...what a waste(what if they really got cozy?? lol). @_@
I'll just mark down my calender and see if/when it appears on the show.

We don't know anything. Everything pertaining to future episodes is speculation at this point. Until we see what happens, then we don't know. We all know what we'd like to happen, but well, that rarely happens!

I thought it might be eri at first too,
but it cant be since there is spin-off movie about her.
my best guest is sousuke...unless takeru is narrating from the afterlife???

That's too easy... This is how it's going down:
Hidden:
Ruka will drop a full-size Yamaha grand piano on Sosuke's head, turning him into a road apple...
Then she'll grow out her hair, move to Europe and become a much respected concert pianist.
