The Girl is Missing -- The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

I am introducing an anime movie called "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya". It is also called "The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya", is an animated film based on the fourth light novel of the Haruhi Suzumiya series of the same name. It is produced by Kyoto Animation and was released in Japanese theaters on February 6, 2010.

The movie is premier on 1/6/2011 at the Astro Animax (channel 715) at 9pm. The length of the movie is 163 minutes.

The story takes place from December 16 until December 24, a month after the cultural festival. The SOS Brigade, led by Haruhi Suzumiya, make plans to have a nabe party for Christmas. However, on the morning of December 18, Kyon arrives at school and finds out everything has changed. Haruhi and Itsuki Koizumi are missing, Ryoko Asakura has mysteriously returned, Mikuru Asahina does not recognize him and Yuki Nagato is an ordinary human. Only Kyon is aware that everything is different, as no one remembers anything about Haruhi or the SOS Brigade. The only clue Kyon manages to find is a bookmark left by the alien version of Yuki before everything was changed, telling him to gather 'keys' to run a program. While wondering about this clue, he gets to know the new Yuki, who appears to be quite fond of him. As December 20 comes, Kyon learns from Taniguchi that Haruhi was at another high school the whole time, along with Itsuki. By revealing his identity to her as 'John Smith' (his alias when he first traveled back in time and assisted a young Haruhi), Kyon manages to convince Haruhi to believe his story. With her assistance they gather the SOS Brigade together in the club room, thus bringing the keys necessary for a program built by alien Yuki.

Wanting to go back to his interesting life, Kyon activates the program and goes back in time to the Tanabata of three years ago. After meeting up with the future Mikuru, he obtains an uninstall program from the past's Yuki, which needs to be shot at the culprit right after the change in the early hours of December 18. Returning to the present, they find the culprit, Yuki, who had borrowed Haruhi's power to change everyone's memories except Kyon's, giving him the choice of which world he would rather live in. Kyon tries to install the program into Yuki but is stabbed by Ryoko, who had retained her psychotic behavior. Before Ryoko can finish him off, he is rescued by future counterparts of Yuki, Mikuru and himself. He wakes up a few days later in a hospital, where the world is back to normal, but almost everyone believes Kyon had been in a coma since December 18 after having fallen down the stairs. When Yuki mentions to Kyon how the Data Integration Thought Entity would punish her for her actions, Kyon tells her to let them know that if they ever do, he can tell Haruhi about him being John Smith and have her alter reality so the Data Integration Thought Entity would cease to exist. As December 24 comes and his everyday life returns, Kyon decides to put off going back to rescue himself so he can try Haruhi's nabe with the rest of the SOS Brigade.

Chapter 61 of KWMS – No Boys Allowed, Girls’Talk!

Hi Minasan! I have read the latest chapter, chapter 61 of the KWMS in Chinese scan. I think this chapter is nice as there is Usui's sexy body :P Anyway, here is the translation of the story that I have done for the fans of KWMS who would like to know the story of the latest chapter. However, I would like to apologise for any errors on the words or grammar! :P Anyway, hope you all will enjoy reading it!


No Boys Allowed, Girls' Talk!

The story begins with the girls are chatting in the room about love life and they are asking Sakura if she is dating with the guy from the band group. Sakura is in shy and exciting expression and some of them are jealous on her. Misaki is surprised to see those girls chatting.

On the other hand, the boys are complaining about the motel that they are staying is old and bad for the facilities, i.e. once the lights in the aisle are off will look  scary and the pool is too small, and cannot even take a peek from the girl’s pool. Shintani is mad to hear it and one of the idiot trio tells him to stay calm as nobody would like to peek on the Prez’s naked body as the girls from the Seika High are nothing. Shintani is asking them is it that bad, and he answers “Yes.” Shintani continues to say there are many cute girls in the Seika High and Misaki is the no.1. But the boys tell him that they feel to have distance from the girls at school as they always feel scare to approach them, like no commitment. After that the boys are started to play pillow fighting. Usui gets a hit from the pillow which throws from Hinata just as he opens the door and enters the room and Hinata apologises to him. Usui’s shirt has been torn by the nail at the door due to he gets the hit from the pillow, thus he approaches to mess with Hinata and Hinata is feeling hurt.

The next morning.

Shizuko is sitting next to Sakura in the bus and Sakura is sending SMS to Kuuga-kun to ask him if he is ok for the PV shooting. Shizuko sees Sakura is in a happy mood for it. The Seika High students then reach a temple and they visit in different groups and will have a gathering by 6pm. They are having a card which required to look for 5 stampings in the temple. All the boys are very excited to start the game. Misaki is shocked to see the boys are so energetic when it comes to games.

Suddenly a school-boy (from other school) has bumped into Shizuko and he apologises to her. The school-boy is wearing glasses, black-haired, looked gentleman. (He is same style as her). He asks Shizuko “Are you ok? I’m really sorry”.  The boy then leaves and Shizuko is stunned with the boy and Misaki is shocked to see it.

Misaki’s group (Sakura and Shizuko and her) able to have 2 stampings and then they meet Hinata. Misaki asks him if he leaves his group and comes to meet her. Then they see a group of school girls from other high school and talking with the Seika High school boys and the girls are asking if they are having umbrella as it is going to rain. Misaki is surprised to see those girls towards the boys. Then they all walk together in the temple.   

Misaki and Hinata see Usui is walking alone. Hinata asks Usui “What are you doing here?”

Misaki asks Usui “Are you alone? Where’s your group?”

“I’m lost! Therefore I’m walking by myself!”Usui answers. The others are shocked to hear that Usui is in lost.

“Don’t tell me you did it purposely…”Misaki says.

“How about your mobile? You can use it to contact them.”Hinata tells Usui.

“I don’t have the contact no. of any of them.”Usui says bluntly.

Misaki is wordless after she hears it. Hinata then only recalls that he does not have the contact no. of Usui too. Then he takes out his mobile and asking Usui to tell him his contact no. but Usui does not want to and Hinata is asking why. Usui says he is worried that his personal info will be released and Misaki thinks he does not trust anybody. Hinata is mad and upsets at Usui’s reply and says “What type of person do you think I’m?!”

The others also having the same thought that they do not have the contact of Usui too.

After that, Misaki and Usui meet the School Prez of Miyabigoaka, Igarashi Tora together with his vice-prez. Igarashi asks Misaki “We meet again. Are you following me here?” Misaki is supposing to say those lines but she answers him “We came for our fieldtrip. Are you coming here for a walk?”

“I come for a tea ceremony.”Igarashi says. Then he teases about the Seika High students as monkeys when he sees them by taking pictures around the places. Misaki and Usui have nothing to say to him. Then Igarashi leaves. Misaki is telling Usui that she does not understand what Igarashi wants and she suspects he must be planning to do something to them.

Usui then turns to Misaki and tells her that he has something to tell her after he makes the consideration. He actually plans to tell her after the school trip and Misaki is asking him what it is about.

The rain is started.

“Ayuzawa, I’m decided to transfer to the Miyabigaoka High School for my Year 3!” Usui says.

Misaki is stunned for it. Hinata is calling Misaki to go as it is started to rain.

At night in the girls’ room, the girls are chatting about love life again as one of them mentions about the break-up due to the boy has gone to the different school. Misaki is just sitting alone in the corner and keeps quiet. She then gets up and tells Sakura that she is going out to patrol to check if the boys are doing any bad things.

While her patrolling, Misaki finds Shizuoko in the staircase and wondering why she is in such place. To her surprised, she sees Shizuko is talking to the boy (the one that bumped into her in the day time). Shizuko is shocked to see Misaki and tells her that they are just have a normal chat and will return to the room by the lights off time and she tells her does not mind about it. Misaki is then apologise for disturbing them and leave immediately. After that, she is patrolling another place and sees the idiot trio are playing at the aisle. Then she sees Hinata and some boys are buying the drinks at the vending machine and she approaches to them. Hinata tells her that he has caught flu due to get wet in the rain during the day time. He has bought a wrong soda drink and nobody wants it, thus he gives to Misaki and she accepts it. The boys go back to their room then.

Misaki is drinking the soda drink alone near the window at the aisle and it is raining outside. Suddenly it is a thunder storm and she is shocked by it and the drink has spilled on her shirt and the lights of the aisle have gone off too, and the whole place has become dark. Misaki has realised she has dirtied the floor too, thus she is using her sport shirt to wipe the floor as it is a kind of urgency for her. She decides to go for an apology once the lights resumed.

Usui appears and says “Misaki?” he is wearing his glasses.

“Usui?” Misaki asks.

“It’s you. What is this sweet and sticky smell?”Usui asks her.

“Eh? You’ve spilled the cream soda? Misaki, what are you doing?”Usui asks her.

“No… I… can’t…..Usui….” Misaki says.


Usui grabs Misaki’s hand and takes her to the Towel Room as some people are coming to their place. “We’re so lucky as nobody is here, otherwise we’ll be scolded.”Usui says. “No matters how, change to this shirt. I’ll clean the shirt for you and you just have to wait for awhile.” Usui is telling Misaki as he has already taken off his clothes to her. He is in half naked while talking to her. Usui is started to wash the shirt.

“I’m sorry!”Misaki says.

“I’m not sure if the shirt is fully cleans as the room is too dark to see.”Usui tells Misaki.

“Thanx for your favour… how about your clothes?”Misaki is asking Usui. “You’ll feel cold...”she says.

“I’ll be glad if Misaki warms me!”Usui says it happily.

Misaki is blushing and is using her fist to hit Usui and he hurts from her hitting.

“Ayuzawa!”

“WHY!””Why do you want to transfer school at least you can discuss it with me…””At least choose a better time and place if want to inform me, DON’T JOKE ANYMORE!”Misaki is telling Usui and he is shocked to hear those words.

“Start to transfer since spring semester, such an important matter….”Misaki continues saying.”Hold on… don’t turn back!”She is telling Usui as she is standing at the back of him. Both of them standing in front of the window (Misaki is behind Usui).

“I’m also wondering what the best way to do before that is.”Usui says.”It’s hardly understood in the beginning….at least it’s known that nothing could be solved in this way….” Misaki is holding her fist tightly. She then holds Usui from behind and says in blushing “I’m realised it now…” 

“Ayuzawa”

“You idiot Usui…I’ll warm you up…..in just tonight as we stay together like this…..”Misaki says.

The rain is still raining……



So, that is the end of the chapter. I am wondering what is happening in the next chapter, really earger to know it! Do you think Usui is SEXY?! :P Haha! I just LIKE him sooooooo much! :)

The Fantasy Couple -- Couple or Trouble

I would like to recommend a Korean comedy romance TV series to you all. The title is called "Couple or Trouble". The actor and actress are  Oh Ji Ho (Second Proposal and Super Rookie) and Han Ye Seul (Forbidden Love). The original meaning of the title is Fantasy Couple. It was Oh Ji Ho and Han Ye Seul first leading roles in a TV drama. Fortunately for them, this series proved to be a successful one which garnered not only high ratings but also a lot of awards. This made Ji Ho and Ye Seul well-known in Korea. Moreover, this TV series has received many recognitions/awards too. Amnesia becomes the culprit behind a drama of extortion under the pretext of love.


Title        : Couple or Trouble / Fantasy Couple / 환상의 커플
Genre      : Drama, Comedy, Romance
Episodes : 16
Story       :
Based on the 1987 movie, Overboard, starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, MBC brings us the story of Anna Jo (Han Ye Seul), a rude, feisty, and audacious American-bred heiress who can never be satisfied. She returns to Korea only to continue being a controlling wife to her already cowardly husband, Billy Park (Kim Sung Min). When her yacht gets stuck for repairs, she hires local handyman Jang Chul Soo (Oh Ji Ho) to fix her shower, but when they have a heated spat over her dissatisfaction and lack of payment, she pushes him overboard and dunks his tools into the ocean right along with him. Later, after a quarrel with Billy that threatens to end their marriage, she herself gets drunkenly pitched overboard and falls victim to a bad case of amnesia.




But in the hospital, she ends up beside none other than Jang Chul Soo, who's still recovering from his own swim in the ocean for his lost tools. Unknown to her, he's been raising his three orphaned nephews in their unkempt house and desperately needs a nanny. Taking advantage of her memory loss, he manages to convince her that she's his live-in girlfriend and renames her Na Sang Shil. But he didn't expect her spoiled selfishness to slowly turn into compassion. And he didn't expect to fall overboard again—this time, for her.







Another actress who star in this drama is Park Han Byul as Oh Yoo Kyung. She likes the lead actor in this drama. It is very funny to see the lead actress to turn into a normal poor girl from a rich lady. She always talks bluntly to the people around her but she does not hate them, in fact it is her style towards her caring to them.

The "Couple or Trouble" received many awards in the year 2006. The awards are listed as below :-
2006 MBC: The Drama of year
2006 MBC: Excellence in Acting (Han Ye Seul)
2006 MBC: Best Couple (Oh Ji Ho and Han Ye Seul)
2006 MBC: Popularity Award (Han Ye Seul)
2006 MBC: Popularity Award (Oh Ji Ho)
2007 43rd Baeksang Arts Awards: Popularity Award (Han Ye Seul)


Personally I like this drama as I think it is very funny and quite sweet. Overall it is an entertaining show. Oops, FYI, Anna's name is an anagram of the original character played by Goldie Hawn, Joanna Stayton. Anna Jo, when said in Korean, becomes Jo Anna.

OK, here are some more scenes pix of the series.
