[Discussion] Last Friends - Nagasawa Masami/Ueno Juri/Eita
the last scene is so emotionally, i couldn't hardly breathe..i wasn't cryingloudly..but tears were falling uncontrollably...eita sa soo good in playing that part..i don't understand japanese but both of them relayed their feelings to me..i felt what they felt during that piart ...juri is just soo amazing!!!
i know that there might not be romance between the two of them..but there's a deep emotion binding them together which is actually beyond romance...beyond temporary emotions.....goodness, i can't wait for the next episode!!!!!
off to rewatch that last part!!! lol!

hi salz...yep it must be only your country cos I have no problem connecting to veoh and watching it online.Salz wrote:does any know what happen to veoh coz it say Veoh is block in my country and veoh is not available anymore
that is my best source of download....
why this is happening???????????
Somehow I still opt downloading from d-addicts. Cheers
finished download ep 8 hours ago and now silently waiting for the English sub to come
out either from seri or suketeru
Yeah, it was totally weird and formal.sarah117 wrote:can't help myself to watch the RAW ep8, eventhough i don't understand japanese at all~!!

Lol. The t-shirts are talking again. I've mentioned some stuff about Ruka's t-shirts before. This post and this one. =3ShikyoxYaiba wrote:... .__________. Face to face...TAKERU'S SHIRT ANYONE? *twitch* That is totally weird...^Yuuki wrote:EPISODE 8
Leyy: To be able to feel that much without understanding a word they're saying proves just how great that whole scene is and how awesome Eita and Juri is as actors. I feel bad for Masami whenever she has a scene with any one of them. Heh. And with the two of them around, it's easy to see the difference in ability. She does have her own moments but it's pretty inconsistent.
yeah, i would be very delighted~!!^Yuuki wrote:siutou_amy and other new posters: Welcome. Or should I say 'Okaeri'? Shall I ask Takeru to prepare some coffee?=)
(the effect of Last Friends to me is sooo great that i can't resist to post comments in this thread!! )
p/s: still waiting 'silently' for the eng sub..
More image have been uploaded onto Ruka's album(that's what I think it is) at the Last Friends Another site.
That kid is cute~ Hope he doesn't grow up to be Sosuke, lol.
The header there says "Triple Alternatives" so I guess it's something like what they would be doing together if they were in an alternate universe? Lol. The answer from what I can see would be to have a rock band together. Juri on the drums, Masami and Eita with the electric guitars. Of course, you can barely see them, I don't know if they think it's artistic or what but it's certainly interesting. =3sarah117 wrote:Yuuki, what are they doing exactly, in the Monthly Wind and Rock [Kaze to Rock] photo? judging from the haircuts, it must be recent rite?
(preview...it's supposed to be the latest issue. And it's free btw, so anyone in Japan, go grab some for me~)
Salz: It's my pleasure~ (Btw, ur siggy there says baidu wif no pic. they don't allow hotlinking, heh, I learned it through you)
minigoo: Yeah, the manga is based on the drama but from Ruka's perspective. The prologue was released early May in a woman's magazine. Next issue should be next month...
P/S: I translated the summary for episode 9. Will post when more people have seen ep8. ^^
thanks yuuki i wonder which mug should i use..??? hmm...at this point after watching epi 8, i'd pick takeru's...i would love to hug ruka and assure her that i love her no matter what... episode 8 is just soo good i couldn't help but post here...sumimasen minna...siutou_amy and other new posters: Welcome.

they are indeed great actors...no dialogues needed...must have ben hard fo masami though, pitted against 2 awesome actors, good thing she has a weak and indecisive character and it just complements and highlights juri and eita talent.
thank yuuki for the pics...and salz for the hq ones...they were having a blast just being together...kawaii!!
No prob. I'm happy too. It does seem like they're in another universe there. ^^sarah117 wrote:thanx Yuuki.. watching them together, i'm very happy~
p/s: OMG, i'm dying for ep8's Eng Sub~ still no sign of it. I think seri and suketeru are very busy right now..
I know Suketeru is busy since I'm keeping her busy. Lol. I guess I should stop distracting her with all the goodies...but don't worry, should be soon. =3

You can always hardsub the videos yourself, using the softsubs.magicmusic wrote:Hey...anyone know what is going on with Kioku? Thank God for soft subs, but I like to make DVDs of "Last Friends." Why is Kioku so behind on releases?
You just need to download and install a couple of (free) programs to get the job done.

Yeah, I know how to do that...but I prefer Kioku's cuz I think the quality is overall better. Plus their translations are really good.bmwracer wrote:You can always hardsub the videos yourself, using the softsubs.magicmusic wrote:Hey...anyone know what is going on with Kioku?

Yup. Eh. For us high school people, it's cram time. -.-" icky icky icky.
By the way, this morning I couldn't stand not watching this for so long (I was waiting for hardsubs), so I downloaded the raws and watched with softs. When I was done, I checked the torrent pending and saw the release. Eeeeeh. Ah, well. I'll be probably end up watching ep. 8 with softs, too.
Watching this series has made me really, really like Eita. And Juri is so gorgeous...I can't see why people would mistake her as a man.
Getting past that, I want Eita to end up with...both Ruka and Michiru. I still can't decide... Personally, I think they overdid it a little with Eita having issues, too. Oh, well.
Must go back to studying now. -.-"

Oh my goodness, I could NEVER wait for hardsubs! I can hardly wait for Thurs. night as it is! I watch LF in Japanese (can't understand so much though).
I LOVE Eita! He and Juri are the stars of this drama, for sure. Their acting is amazing, and personally I wouldn't mind it if Takeru, Michiru and Ruka could all live happily ever after. Like in "A Home At the End of the World."

Eh. I can only understand 10% at most, and I don't feel like guessing and feeling like my Japanese is crappy throughout watching the whole episode. So now I guess I'll be using softsubs. For some reason, sometimes Vobsub doesn't pick up the subs, so I have to watch in a subbing program, and then I can't use my beautiful full-screen. :'(
Yup...Well, I think Michiru's good at acting, too. But her part's weaker, so her acting is naturally also "weaker."

Just finished watching the ep 8 with suketeru's sub. Wow! this is the saddest eps so far and my chest is still hurting. I can't believe that I cry ...
so damn sad...really powerful performance by both juri and eita
can't wait for next episode 9..
p/s i hope sousuke killed himself in the next episode. He's so evil. Just a wishful thinking lol

I'm thankful for my otaku background else I wouldn't be able to understand a thing either. Watching subbed anime for the past few years does help one to learn. I haven't taken any Japanese lessons before. ^^ It would be an excruciating wait for the subs otherwise(even though for LF, gotta thank the softsubbers for doing such a speedy job).magicmusic wrote:Oh my goodness, I could NEVER wait for hardsubs!

Yeah, I think this is the first time for me too, hoping for the 3 of them to live happily ever after together. Of course, don't forget the baby~! We would have Michiru mama, Ruka is obviously the papa, lol, Takeru can certainly take over both roles when Michiru and Ruka have their alone time. LOL. Wow, so Sailormoon-ish. I guess that makes Takeru Sailor Pluto? Haha, j/k...
Btw, episode 8's title is "The Last Letter"...The question is...for who? It's probably another bad sign for our little 'threesome'...^^;
Good news, Last Friends got the No.1 ranking in a poll conducted by Oricon Style magazine~
『オリスタ読者が選ぶ好きな春ドラマランキング』 BEST5
Your favourite spring drama ranking. Best 5:
1位/『ラスト・フレンズ』(フジ系) (Last Friends)
2位/『ROOKIES-ルーキーズ-』(TBS系) (Rookies...hmm, I probably should check this out)
3位/『ごくせん』(日テレ系) (Gokusen 3)
4位/『おせん』(日テレ系) (Osen)
5位/『CHANGE』(フジ系) (CHANGE...poor KimuTaku...haha)
Utada Hikaru's Prisoner of Love got No.1 too in the favourite drama song~
so happy LF got no1 and Rookies no2....
both drama is obviously the best this season^^
but poor Kimutaku lol got beaten by all his kohai^^"
yeah u r right Takeru is Sailor Pluto and their child should be Sailor Saturn/Hotaru coz those 3 lives together to take care of her when she turn into babies....
that would be perfect sailormoon liveaction^^

Ugh...I do not like the whole TakeruxRuka angle at all. But whatever, I don't think it's going to end up that way.
I do agree that the actors portraying these characters are outstanding. I wish Michiru had a bit more going for her other than the whole DV crap.
LOL @ Salz
I think Takeru = Seiya (manga version) This deserves a fanfiction~ xD
Man this drama has got me reminiscing...lmao.
I bet the non Moon-fans are getting fed up with these comparisons.
And OMG @ the preview

Yuuki, lucky you for understanding japanese I was learning japanese 2 years ago until i became obsessed with chinese drama condor heroes and abandoned it for mandarin. Last Friends really get me really excited to learn japanese now except my brain can't process 2 new languages at one time LOL^Yuuki wrote:I'm thankful for my otaku background else I wouldn't be able to understand a thing either.

I'm hoping for a happy ending for LF else I'm gonna be grieving for months after the drama ends LOL
I just want Ruka to be happy..don't really care if she'll end up with either Takeru or Michiru or both. Don't know why i have a soft spot in my heart for RukaSalz wrote:Seiya???
i dun remember much but she is the singer who crossdress as a guy like Haruka and like Usagi??
sorry im TakeRuka shippers so im happy with their development even just as best friend^^
Lol. Condor Heroes huh? I can't read chinese but at least I can understand when I watch those Cantonese and Mandarin dramas. I guess you sorta pick up the language if you've been watching them since young.spyefox wrote: Yuuki, lucky you for understanding japanese I was learning japanese 2 years ago until i became obsessed with chinese drama condor heroes and abandoned it for mandarin.

I'm hoping for it not to be a sad ending. Something bittersweet but hopeful would be good enough. Ruka deserves to be happy though. ^^
QNSpider: That pairing is called MichiRuka. Like TakeRuka. Haha, did they think it in advanced? "People are gonna be pairing them up so lets make it easier for them." Don't see how Takeru/Michiru would work though so they obviously had no intention of letting them be together. =3
lol u dun have to sound so irritated with im liking TakeRuka pairing....QNSpider wrote:Salz wrote:sorry im TakeRuka shippers
lol jk
*BOWS TO YOU*magicmusic wrote:Y'all are wrong about everything! Ruka is not IN LOVE with Takeru!
Yes, we all want Ruka to be happy. Yes, that's right. >_> <_<
*cough*RukaMichiru*cough*
i never say anything bad bout MichiRuka....they cute together but im more of TakeRuka...
not that im saying they r in love with each other or something eventhough it will be great if they are for my own satisfaction but this is not what the story about.....but i will be happy as long as TakeRuka have plenty of scenes together and comfortable with each other.....as long as Ruka smile and happy that will be great....just friendship sometime is better than love.....
not everyone like the same thing lol so PEACE
even TakeRukaMichi together at the end would be fantastic eventhough from the first ep it is not likely a happy ending
owh i loooveeee this Ep8~!!! finally with the sub, i can understand better now. lol.. thanx to suketeru.
yeah, i'm agree with u. Ruka is my favourite, so as long as she's happy, i'll be happy too, no matter who she'll be ended with..spyefox wrote:I just want Ruka to be happy..don't really care if she'll end up with either Takeru or Michiru or both.

As they say, "To each his own", I guess. xD
I agree with this statement. I do like their friendship. It's very strong and there is a lot of understanding. I want a friend like that. ;_;Salz wrote:....just friendship sometime is better than love.....

But why do 2 people who share a beautiful relationship always have to end up as lovers? Can't they just have a beautiful relationship as friends?ashton wrote:Hey everyone.

What I've gathered from reading everyone's comments, it seems some people are pretty obsessed with the whole lesbian love thing. I'll continue behind spoiler tags...ashton wrote:Hey everyone.

And because at the end of 8 had a bonding scene, are we expecting something similar for 9? i hope so

Whatever emoticons you cover that comment with, it still sounds like you own this thread. I think people are free to register whenever they want, join this discussion whenever they want and talk about whatever they want (unless it's offensive, of course). If you're tired of talking about it, you can always just not comment on it.^Yuuki wrote:So people are starting to throw in their money to the pool.

Anyway
SSpiegel: True. I do try and comment on things I feel that I don't agree on even if I have to repeat it. But just as you said, we can't really control what people think and say so when they still say it's a "lesbian drama"...erm, maybe it is to them? ^^;
Something from MentoreG
Still, my favourite picture at the moment is this one~
"I can't find a ring so I guess this will do for now."

Thanks for the link.
No prob.
Since that's pretty big, you can watch the video here if you want. Quality isn't so good though.
Btw, I updated some new Kaze to Rock scans at this previous post. Those look so much more natural than the other magazine promo shots. Really feels as if they're in a band or something. The interview was really interesting too. The 3 of them really sang. Wow, I wish it was a tv show instead. ^^

Guys, did anyone noticed that when Ruka goes back to the Sharehouse, everyone seems to sing a Japanese version of Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah? xD
I just rewatched ep08 with subs, and the last scene still makes me cry. hahaha. I'm on the boat for Michiru/Ruka/Takeru, xD I think it's going unconditional love to Takeru -> Ruka -> Michiru... "love you unconditionally, no matter what you are or who will you be", "love you so much, I have to let go" Gosh~~
And I need to see more of Eri, she needs some non-stalkery-unconditional love. I wonder, will Eri ever ask Ruka how come she was never into her? Lol'
