the end of August
today is the last day of August. tomorrow is the first day of September.
August was a good month in some ways.
First of all, there was the Olympics.
I watched Dream Again, Gokusen and Nodame Cantabile. All three were quite good, for various reasons. i think in some ways, the concept of Dream Again is similar to Proposal. but even ai katou and sorimachi takashi can't make it better. gokusen is not gto. but it's still good, because gto was too good. nodame cantabile is in a world of its own, just like noda megumi. but nodame cantabile is really a good show, imparting lessons through music. the special episode makes Paris seem so wonderful.
i would prefer miki kiyora to noda megumi though.
in addition, i also watched Tokyo Friends the Movie and L: Change the World. to be honest, if not for the songs, and the words Otsuka Ai said to Eita, about the very first dream, i think tokyo friends would have been very ordinary. and this would have been very disappointing, because i felt that the concept was very good. the execution wasnt very polished. i havent watched the drama, which was the prequel. maybe thats the reason why i couldnt appreciate it fully.
L change the world was also rather disappointing. aside from L's words to Kujo at the end, i go away not knowing why they made this. simply for the L fans? it is not quite enough.
i also wrote 4 stories, the most i have ever done in a month. july's haunted was rather disappointing, so this was like a redemption. i am satisfied with all 4: the balcony, somewhere out there, happy birthday and those emerald eyes. alot of old ideas finally materialised, especially in those emerald eyes.
i feel that the stories this year are more encouraging. it was easier last year to choose the "most representative" shorter story (thank you sorry goodbye). this year, when i wrote Blue Rose, i thought: yes, this is the one. Then i wrote Leave. then That Song. then these 4. all 7 of them are particularly important to me on a personal level.
i say particularly important, because
there is nothing in this world that isn't important
