<\/a><\/center>Mariko and I started watching Suppli<\/a> this week, and we both really like it. I guess its because Mariko likes Kame<\/a> (from KAT-TUN<\/a>) and I like Misaki Itoh<\/a>, especially when she wears her geek-chic glasses<\/a>. The story is pretty good so far (only one episode has been shown), with Itoh as the experienced campaign planner in an advertising agency and Kame as the reluctant part-time worker who just started. The acting is pretty good, and really I love how the show captures the feeling of living in Tokyo. This drama really makes me miss living and working there, even though it was a long time ago. I get a natsukashii feeling when I watch Suppli. Even in this first episode, the yurikamome train going to Odaiba, and the photos of Tokyo Tower bring back great memories.<\/p>\n
The ending of the show where the credits scroll is really well done, with still images from the story, and the photos are kind of holga-like in appearance. It’s very cool. I think the music goes perfectly. ([url=\/media\/video\/Sapuri_ep01_ending.mov”>Click here to dl a QuickTime movie of the ending, 6.7MB, mov<\/a>)<\/p>\n
Speaking of the ending song, the name of it is “Real Voice” and it is sung by Ayaka<\/a>. It is excellent! If you listen closely you can hear a guitar sound reminiscent of Cocteau Twins or Siousxie and the Banshees. ([url=\/media\/video\/ayaka-Real voice-MPEG2.mp4″>click here to dl the QuickTime version, 24MB, mp4<\/a>) I really need to find her CD or a single of this song. Mariko says the Suppli opening song is sung by KAT-TUN (maybe just Kame?) and it was a big surprise for fans since it was never announced. Whatever… \ud83d\ude42 I’ll let her write about that in her own blog! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Anyways, last night I made a couple 1280px wallpapers using screencaps from the ending sequence. You can download them at Flickr. Just click on the pic below to go to the site, then click on All Sizes to get to the full-size jpeg. I think I will do that for each episode, as long as they use unique stills. I can’t get enough of Misaki Itoh. And I made a wallpaper for Mariko as well, since she is nuts about Kame and the KAT-TUN boys.<\/p>\n Lastly, here’s the CM for the drama<\/a> (3MB, mp4)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mariko and I started watching Suppli this week, and we both really like it.
