Update: The review for the second movie, Assassination Classroom: Graduation, is over here. I watched the movie Assassination Classroom (暗殺教室 , Ansatsu Kyoshitsu) when it aired in the cinemas. I was really excited to be able to catch this in the theatres. The movie is an adaptation of the still on-going manga of the same name by 松井優征 (Matsui Yuusei)…. Read more »
Fly is one of the coupling songs in the Limited Edition single of GUTS by Arashi. I really love this song, the tune is catchy and upbeat. It’s my favourite out of all the tracks in GUTS, coming a close second would be GUTS though. The single was released in 2014, you can still get the LE from PlayAsia, whereas… Read more »
Ok! Well, these vocabs are actually only from the first half of the show – the Sakurai in Miyagi segment. Following last year’s invasion of Sho’s hotel room during the Hawaii Blast concert, they invaded his room again during the Miyagi Blast concert this year. It was a really fun episode/segment!

How Sho managed his time in his university days, taking the night train back to Tokyo after having work elsewhere, just so that he can catch the lecture the next… Read more »

Some of the artists have their own blogs too, and Matsumoto Jun (of Arashi, I’m an Arashi fan, sorry) has a blog called ‘Enjoy’. So here’s some vocabs I picked up from… Read more »
Ok. It may seem weird that I’m talking about toothpaste in this blog. But hey, it’s a Japanese brand toothpaste that exhibits the elegant simplicity and attention to detail in a most Japanesque way; so I think it’s justified! I chanced upon this product while shopping in Tokyuu Hands (here for the SG website, here for the Japan website). I… Read more »

He requested that the visitors take their time… Read more »
