Maou - The Pilot Episode

First, forgive me for the long post…I’m just so excited about this =] and I didn’t want to use the “more” tag xD

All the japanese dorama I’ve watched are always lighthearted, Maou is nothing like that. This is about revenge, pain, passion more on intensity than sensual (lol) and dirty pasts. It sure is refreshing, that may sound weird but it is if you’ve been watching the usual popular j-drama xD

So i just finished watching the first episode (raw)…and all I can say is WOW o_o Most people I know knows I’m Ohno’s fangirl who is one of the 2 lead actors in this series but seriously even if I were not a crazy fangirl I would still go WOW the series is just awesome.

The acting is superb from all the casts ‘cept maybe for the lead actress who is kinda overshadowed by the 2 intense lead actors..but still not something to look down on xD

The direction and editing are great too! The way they pieced the scenes together was wonderfully done, the cinematography was awesome at conveying the emotions of the characters…the way they show contrast great. For example there was a scene where the girl (lead actress) who is a clairvoyant mentioned how she felt when she touched Naruse Ryo’s (ohno) letter to Serizawa Naoto (ikuta) that the writer felt like he has no heart, then the scene goes to Ryo crying at the place his brother got murdered while holding the broken harmonica he gave his brother for a birthday gift when they were young.

As for the music, the musical score is really well done too. The right kind of music plays at the right time and did i mention? the OP was sang by Arashi and has a lot of Ohno solos and it’s different from their usual pop songs this sounds dark and fast paced: if you’re interested to hear it watch this: it’s not out yet so youtube of the OP should do

anyway off to the screenshots of awesomeness xD:

The OP Batch of Win:

Shower Scene >=D

The infamous shower scene to quench the thirst of the ohno fangirls (although i thought this scene was cool not in an eyecandy way but in the general way haha…it’s awesome how he take pains to look decent just to stab ikuta’s face >=D)

1st pic is right before the shower scene that i found creepy in a cool way. That hand would actually shift to a scene where he turns on the shower…:

STABBING TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!


Other awesome scenes:

Ikuta reenacting the death scene and going insane because he’s remembering his dirty past

And Ohno (a lawyer) smirking because he just “solved” the murder case…that he actually set up to happen… DIABOLICAL! <3

From evil

to

a very sad lonely man (my favorite scene)

Satoshi Ohno can so pull off the two-faced lawyer character and Ikuta Toma is a really good actor too must be because of their theater background which they do a lot >=D~

Okaeri by Ayaka

I watched a special broadcast in NHK a Japanese channel in our cable called “Save The Future” and one part of it had different artists performing, Ayaka along with Angela Aki and Otsuka Ai were some of them. Anyway, Ayaka performed her song “Okaeri” it was really good o_o and her voice is awesome, kinda raspy, deep and solid and I thought who is she?! since I didn’t understand anything but a few words of that event xD so after a lot of googling I learned who she was and youtubed her song and found out it was also the theme song for the j-drama Zettai Kareshi haven’t seen this drama btw but some online folks told me it’s good…

anyway back to the song here’s the video (Watch and listen i tell u tis good :’D):

another good song by her is “Why?” :

I had the wip of this sitting for more than a month and decided it’s about time to get it over with…basically the elements of my wall looked good separately but just whacked when they were together. So I asked gid for some feedback/suggestions along with misu, peniko and yina… but Gid’s a busybody, kidnapped my wall and made it a collab lawl

me and gid will never agree on colors ever D:

BTW~ Gid’s promoting her summer shindig a poolparty (walling contest) head over to this address and check out all the cool prizes in store for you: C L I C K~

No. 96 - Artist’s Choice [Riida]

[edit again]

after talking to boing and panda and some constructive crits after, I’m up to version 4 and i’m thinking tis the last D: haha xD and since i was already working my butt off i decided to draw in his hair too :’D

[edit]

Fixed some parts: nose/lips/shadows

——————————————————–

Added a paper texture to make it look like it was traditionally done aharhar >.> in truth i don’t think i can do stuff traditionally now o_o besides my scanner’s busted =\

I don’t think I captured his face exactly but this is a lot better than my first try at realism…with him as the model too *coughsfangirlcoughs* His nose is really hard to draw and the lips were hard to shape ; 3; but i’m still quite pleased <333 Practice sure has some effect :’D

version 1 and version 2

version 3 and version 4

Arashi Wallpapers and Maou

As most of the people I talk to in messenger or real life knows how I fangirl a lot over Satoshi Ohno so I’m sure you guys won’t be surprised over this haha… Speaking of Ohno he’ll be acting in a drama soon and he’s the lead! It’s a big deal because this will be his FIRST drama ever * 3* He’s known to prefer stage plays than doing dramas. I’m really looking forward watching it, Ikuta Toma’s in it too…Hana Kimi’s Nakatsu :’D and did I mention he’s cute too D: as you can see in this picture:

Left: Ohno Satoshi Right: Ikuta Toma

This is a remake of a korean drama titled Mawang or The Devil it’s titled Maou in the Japanese version, here’s the synopsis:

This drama is a remake of the popular suspense drama The Devil that was aired in Korea last year. Ohno Satoshi will be playing the role of a two-faced lawyer, one of which is a kind hearted soul and the other who is plotting revenge, using his brilliant mind, on the person who killed his relative. On the other hand, Ikuta Toma will play the double lead role of the man, who has become a detective due to his dark past, who is pursuing the mysterious series of murders and fighting against the devil (maou).

I’ve seen one of his stage plays and I think he can pull off being 2-faced, having an evil side eventhough he’s known to be the shy, quiet, gentle and kind person. GO OHNO and IKUTA! lol This drama will start airing in July every Fridays (I think) 10:00 pm on TBS…well that’s all most fangirls already posted about this…so I thought I’d do the same haha <3
