Hey guys!

After intensive searcing, I finally managed to find the lyrics to the Seishun amigo song!

I've got them off a website in someones blog (i thought I bookmarked the link so I could give credits to the person, but I did the wrong site..

) SO, these were not done by me..credits to whomever did them..

Seishun Amigo .. Youthful friends

(K)
My mobile phone has started to ring
A wave of anxiety surges up my chest
Stay calm, mi amigo!

(Y)
The situation doesn't look good! Help me~~!!
Those guys are nearly onto me!
I don't think I'm going to pull through this, mi amigo!

(Both)
The call breaks off like two people being torn apart

Si we have always been the two of us
We've never lost on our own territory...or something like that
Si the city we've yearned for since a long time ago
Believing as we lived

For some reason, in my mind is the scene of the day we set out
The beautiful sky, embracing everything

(K)
Finally found my way to that darkened road
The guy's lying on the ground
I didn't make it in time. Sorry.

(Y)
I've taken care of him
I couldn't keep the promise we made that day of fighting together
But the fact you came makes me very happy

(Both)
Trembling hands clasped stronger together

Si the moment we arrived in this town
We would be able to handle everything, or so we believed
Si we parted with our home to pursue a greater dream
Laughing as we lived

Nothing has changed that future that
The two of us were chasing after
We still dream of it

Arent they nice?

I Really love this song.. the only thing is :

After reading the lyrics and seeing the ending where one little piggy dies..I can't help but think those rumours you were talking about are gonna be true. I thought it would be Akira who dies though, coz in the ending its the ditzy pig who's hurt. But argh argh..I'm getting depressed just thinking about it. PLEASE let this only be a nasty rumour..

Hey aku! thanks for the lyrics. really appreciate your hardwork. i like the lyrics too. meaningful. seishun amigo =]

It'll be kinda weird if it's true, ne? I mean... the drama itself doesn't really give me that kind of feel ^^;; Maybe it'll develop later, but as of now, it doesn't seem that tragic and foreboding.
It'll be interesting... but um... I dunno, I love the drama so far so I'll watch anything LOL XDD I'm so eager to see how everything turns out!!

Shuji is changing every episode, though slowly, but he is. These type of drama, there's always a lesson to be learn in the end.

Now to Akira, haha, the poor guy.

jica · Post by **jica** » Nov 13th, '05, 02:40

hm... I don't know how to put hidden text...
I'll try to not write any spoilers... =/

I really like this drama. At first I saw it just because of Kamenashi, and I thought it was a comedy, like many other manga-based dramas (don't know if it is manga-based though). But I think it is a rather serious and maybe sad drama, sometimes it seems dark to me. The mood in the end of each episode... I mean, death, Shuji's words when first episode ends, black birds and other things.

That mysterious stalkers may not just be one person. Maybe there's two or three...?

I actually think that Kamenashi is a good actor, he's not all the same in his dramas, e.g. he's a total different person in Gokusen 2. In Nobuta wo Produce, Shuji isn't a very sympathic person (though he has the main cast), you'll like Akira more, cause Akira's more honest with his feelings and actings, but as somebody else mentioned before, Shuji's changing a little in every episode. He's realizing what kind of person he is, and doesn't like it.

Sigh... have to wait till next week for ep 6.

ok, from ep4, Bando can be eliminated which leaves Mariko.But with ep5, the new girl who appears at the end, I am also putting her on the list cus that birthmark right next to her chin looked kinda familiar. When someone was taking pictures of Shinji and Nobuta on the rooftop, that girl had a birthmark...so now Mariko almost off the list and new girl 99% probability of her being the culprit..if it turns out to be true, then we are in for the betrayal of new friendship senario..hehe(get close pretending to be friends, then finally betray)

Just watched episode 5! Some thoughts as plot thickens.... (Spoilers for episode 5)

I really want to read the book! I think this drama seems light-hearted, but I have a feeling the storyline might take a turn towards the end.

Seriously, Yamapi (Akira) is from the jboy band group NewS, and Kame (Shuji) is from Kat-Tun, another boyband. They are like mega famous.

I just watched the PV for the theme song, it's the first PV I've seen of Johnnys Entertainment and I have to say they really should fire the choreographer because the dancing was just weird. But anyway I have a question, is the boy in the PV (the main dancing kid) the same boy who plays.. Shuji's little brother?

edit: just looked on the wiki and he is in johnnys jrs so it's probably him.

gunjourui · Post by **gunjourui** » Nov 13th, '05, 18:40

^ yes, it's him...you should have just read comments in (PV) Shuuji to Akira - Seishun Amigo thread

Toritorisan wrote:Just watched episode 5! Some thoughts as plot thickens.... (Spoilers for episode 5)

I don't know if Mariko is the mysterious troublemaker, but I think she is definitely not what she seems. I wonder if she is actually like Shuji, where popularity is just a game and she is going out with Shuji for the same reason he is? I just thought it was weird when they were eating lunch, and when she made Shuji buy her a drink, as if she was trying to get rid of him for a second. Her experssion changes and it was strange how she snatched the something from their bento too.

about that

annah_alaba · Post by **annah_alaba** » Nov 13th, '05, 23:36

At the end of the FIRST EPISODE, you could already tell that something bad was going to happen and the video where the GREEN PIGGIE dies, I was confused. But when I read the FORUM and the LYRICS, it kinda clinched it (In my own opinion only) that one of them (I think SHUJI coz' the way the VIOLET PIGGIE moves like AKIRA in the hallway scene) is going to die or going to be hurt.

I hope nothing bad happens.

But what SHUJI said at the end of the first episode "That in the future something truly dark and deep, there was real evilness that we had to fight" and the MYSTERIOUS GIRL wrote "DIE" in NOBUTA'S desk kinda freaks me out.

I feel so upset reading these generalizations about the ending. But I dont think the Japanese would carelessly tossed such a twist unlike some of the kdramas I know. I'll be sad, but if it is done right, then I think, I can accept it.

Anyway Ive got a question about episode 5.

She wants to pass the ball back to them? I.e. be on an even footing with everyone? Give and take?

Hey Unkei! I see u again in another thread!

I think that makes sense ^ ..although why Shuji would think like that is beyond me..especially when he's the one who's with Nobuku all the time so he should KNOW what shes like!! I got a bit angry with him in that scene..

the drama seems pretty dark already. haha i think it was like
she wanted to be able to do things for herself as well, instead of always having them force her to do it. that's kind of what she means by always the two of them throwing balls at her. and then when she says she wants to return them, i think she means that she wants to do things for them as well. haha it's kinda hard to figure out...i don't even know if i'm right - this drama is so deep!!

Again..ah. Makes a little more sense now.

I love this girl. And Akira, and Shuji..

What special episode????

If you watched carefully the ending song, the VIOLET PIGGIE had his arms stretched out and walking across the hallway like a drunk would do. Then the GREEN PIGGIE met him and they went inside the classroom. The VIOLET PIGGIE went and stood up on the desk of AKIRA in the series near the window. So from that scene, you could tell that the VIOLET PIGGIE is AKIRA not the other way around.

(That's my opinion only.)

I've been thinking too hard about this series. I expected this series to be fun and light. But I can't help watching it. It just shows that it has the mark of a good series where it let's you believe in one thing and then suddenly turn 180 degrees (I'm getting way too philosophical for a TV series). Let's just hope that whatever happens (good or bad) in the end, it would be worthwhile.

jica · Post by **jica** » Nov 14th, '05, 21:16

There's a Nobuta wo produce eps00 (search the torrent), with like interviews, games and little about the drama-making, with Kame and Yamapi.

There you can see that the green piggie is Akira and the violet one is Shuji. Don't understand why the ending theme ends like that. But maybe the piggie isn't dead, just seriously hurt....

Somebody uploaded the theme song "Seishun Amigo" (really nice by the way), and the file is called [PV] Shuuji to Akira - ......

I just wonder, what does PV mean? Music video or something?

It's a term used for Japanese music videos and stands for Promotional Video.

this drams is really great even though i didn't expect it to be.

i don't know how many people did this but i was soooo curious about the ending that i went online to search for the synopsis of the book (yes it comes after a book). i discovered about the story of the book, but since so many things have been changed from the book, i could not find any answers in the end.

how the book ends

modification in setting from the book

i'm sure there are some loves developing here and there since we alredy saw one doing so in the newest episode. But i am still hoping for a love between shuuji and nobuta.

finally

Let's leave a few surprises for the coming episodes...

At first I only watched this because of Kame and Yamapi, since I kinda needed another series to watch to fill in the gaps between The Death of Love and Hana Yori Dango, lol. At first when I watched the first two or three eps I found this series incredibly boring, that and I was fast-forwarding parts since I hate watching people getting bullied. But as I watched the second and third time (yes, this is my way of killing time

), I found it to be more and more good, and for some odd reason, it made me feel freakishly depressed.

This is a sorta bittersweet series, IMO. You'll find some parts heartwarming, and yet some parts just make kinda tears you apart. Although some parts just totally doesn't make any sense. --; Like the part in the haunted house in where they turn around to take photos for the three people, only to find them disappeared, or vanished.

As for this series basing off of a book in where Shuji dies, yes it's true, but Shuji may not necessarily die since the whole script had some changes in it. For example, Nobuta was supposed to be a guy, and Akira didn't even exist in the book. So yeah...

Ehehehe, I can't wait for ep 6 because Akira runs away from home and moves in with Shuji...

(donn read if u haven't seen ep5)

ok, from ep4, Bando can be eliminated which leaves Mariko.But with ep5, the new girl who appears at the end, I am also putting her on the list cus that birthmark right next to her chin looked kinda familiar. When someone was taking pictures of Shinji and Nobuta on the rooftop, that girl had a birthmark...so now Mariko almost off the list and new girl 99% probability of her being the culprit..if it turns out to be true, then we are in for the betrayal of new friendship senario..hehe(get close pretending to be friends, then finally betray)
Just watched episode 5! Some thoughts as plot thickens.... (Spoilers for episode 5)

I don't know if Mariko is the mysterious troublemaker, but I think she is definitely not what she seems. I wonder if she is actually like Shuji, where popularity is just a game and she is going out with Shuji for the same reason he is? I just thought it was weird when they were eating lunch, and when she made Shuji buy her a drink, as if she was trying to get rid of him for a second. Her experssion changes and it was strange how she snatched the something from their bento too.

She also said at the end of the date "Kyou wa tanoshihkatta desu." Exactly what Shuji told Nobuta to say at the end of the date, even Shuji kinda looked at her funny when she said it.. (I wonder if she heard them talking?) Nobuta said it at the wrong time of the date, but it's funny that Mariko remembered it.

For me, I can't tell if the new girl could be the one, but it's a possiblity! Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer!
I really want to read the book! I think this drama seems light-hearted, but I have a feeling the storyline might take a turn towards the end.

nope. i don't think mariko is the evil mastermind. at least that's what it is in the book. but i heard the drama doesn't follow the book very much.

and when mariko said "Kyou wa tanoshihkatta desu.", it was mariko who actually taught shuji this line. at the start of episode 5, shuiji proposed to her a double date. And he later on he told mariko that her appearance might make nobuta seem of lower standards. so mariko is a very nice girl. she is willing to make herself turn into a 'bad girl' to make nobuta look better than her in front of the guy who likes nobuta. and shuiji asked her what is the most impt thing to make a date successful? and mariko taught him the "Kyou wa tanoshihkatta desu." she did not eavesdrop them!

i'm not a fan of mariko, but just clearing up some misunderstandings here...

okay.. darnit darnit.. enough of the killings..

i doubt the producers of the show will go as far as offing the characters..

somebody getting beat up is as far as it would go.. i'm betting my obsession to yamapi on that.

guys!! go to youtube.com and type in these guys names and you're sure to find a lot of nice vids..

you can also find the making of the PV there.

Seira : thanks for the bits of info on the book. Its interesting to see the differences, and after reading that, I think its really clear that the drama has been changed A LOT. So I think all rumours should just be forgotten about..

Crazylazy_cheif : you're right, its a very bittersweet kind of drama. It makes you laugh, it makes u cry, but cry in a good sense... you dont cry coz the situations impossible, you cry coz u feel for the characters so much. Also, every episode (so far, atleast) has ended off positively..which means you can have a good day after it.

Esthyun : Thanks for the clip!! I'm going to download it now!

Littlemissfab : And thank you for the site! ;) Will check it out!
