Chapter 11 I had wanted to bring Kaoru back home to meet Okaasan the next day because it was the last day of my break. But Kaoru couldn’t make it out of bed that day, not because she was sick. But because of something Morimoto mama called ‘that time of the month’. I didn’t quite understand...
OK. Here is a little list about the upcoming dramas for this summer (or winter for those living at the south of the planet, such as myself). Ando Natsu (あんどーなつ) TBS, Monday 8:00pm, premieres July 7 "Ando Natsu" is based on a manga by Yuji Nishi and Terry Yamamoto. Shihori Kanjiya stars as the title ...
Chapter 15 Okaasan declared Kaoru reasonable, well-mannered, even-tempered and patient, and she gave her stamp of approval by giving Kaoru ninety marks out of a hundred. Lunch was good even if I couldn’t remember what we ate. I didn’t do much talking because Okaasan and Kaoru were busy getting...
Chapter 18 Sho seemed almost back to normal when I saw him next so everything must be okay with him. I thought nothing of it until I realised that Nino and Sho were looking at each other all funny like they knew each other’s secret. I don’t know what kind of secret they had between them, but I...
Chapter 17 I couldn’t really think much about Sho’s strange behaviour where he wanted to suddenly go for a drink. I was too busy with my exhibition. It’s funny to think of it this way – my exhibition – my own exhibition. I wasn’t a professional artist like Kaoru who trained with the best...
Chapter 02 I woke up the next morning to find that it wasn’t as hot. The sunlight was beautiful outside. From my window, it looked like the sun was peeping through the wholes in the spread of the trees’ leaves in tiny drops of six-sided squares like diamonds but only more beautiful. I could go...
Chapter 14 I really didn’t need to worry about not knowing how to get to Geidai because I was going with Okaasan, and Okaasan knew everything. She did, you know. She knows where to get the best bargains and decent looking clothes that don’t cost much and all those kinds of things. She even...
Chapter 13 There was no one at home at the Morimoto household when I arrived. The lights weren’t turned on, and there wasn’t even a sound coming from the house. I didn’t know whether I ought to be worried or relieved. I thought of going to the bakery to ask Morimoto aniki whether Kaoru had...
Annie and Jamie are left alone in the hospital room. Annie turns to me wide eyed after closing the door behind her. "OMG! What was that, Jamie?" her hands were now on her hips, demanding an explanation. "Hontouni gomenasai, Annie. I know I should have told minna -" I stared at my hands folded on my...
Chapter 03 I liked the bakery. It was different from the ones in downtown Tokyo where the guys and I sometimes went to in between photo shoots. It had an air that was quiet, and the smells were much nicer, much sweeter. The counter displaying the different kinds of bread and cakes was simple and...
Chapter 12 Every good child knows that Okaasan knows everything. Even if I walked in with a smile as I greeted her, okaasan would notice something was wrong. And she did, especially since I was still eating the last of the ice-cream. Okaasan has an invisible radar on the very top of her head, I...
Concert, it's so much fun! We did it for the first time at Nagoya dome the other day. First time at Nagoya Dome... We arrived. It was really, really fun. It drove the crowd wild. When this DUET is out, finished at Sapporo Dome? I think so. It's like a...Dream and Reality. It's "Dream" and "Alive" ne...
Chapter 16 No matter how much I wanted Nino to meet Kaoru, and it would mean a lot to me if Nino would meet her and tell me what he thought of her because he was my best and closest friend, it seemed that I couldn’t get him at all. By the time, Kaoru and I finished eating, I called the production...
I have one thing to say. Just one. (Edit: so much for just one thing...) Aiba is looking so great lately. Well, okay, as usual, but for a while his hair was kind of annoying me. But now it's grown out just how I like it :D And it looks better when they don't try so hard to make it look neat, like on...

Chapter 08 I did not ask Okaasan why girls’ fathers asked their friends strange and frightening questions and put them on the spot. I didn’t want Okaasan to ask more questions and get worried when I couldn’t answer. I only gave her the fishes that Kaoru-san had given me because I had drawn...
