도쿄 여우비

沒有遺留記憶的些許日子以后，初涉此作品仍有心悸。
劇中男主角說了据說是日本的風俗：在戀人分离的時候，男的會將襯衫第二個紐扣交給伊人，若再相逢而女孩還保留著那個紐扣，兩人便可再在一起。為什么是是第二個紐扣？因為那是离心臟最近的地方，若將自己的心交托給那個她。一段萌芽于异鄉的情愫，短暫得像下了一場太陽雨。韓國人說那是狐狸和老虎的婚禮，与狐狸相愛卻無法結合的云朵因而哭泣，眼淚化為雨水，所以也叫狐狸雨。
雨下過了。春櫻開了。又謝了。美得絢爛。曾經。永遠。

No Guus no game

Hiddink did it again! And this time it’s with the English League, Chelsea who marched triumphantly into the FA cup semifinals. What a shame that I could only read this on the news and not watch the guy and more guys in action. Now he has really got me excited about the game all over again and yes, the world-cup will soon [...]

Okuribito

 Two Japanese movies watched a week apart, and both have converted me or should I say I have reverted back to being a fan of Japanese movies. And between the two movies, Okuribito or Departures was nominated and has rightfully won the best foreign movie award in the recent Oscars.  The movie has all that you would want in a great [...]
