Today I found something awesome on You Tube. There was this episode from HnA where Arashi is in a karaoke bar. And every time the customers of such a karaoke box are singing a specific Arashi song, Arashi runs into the room and sings with them.
This is something every fan dreams of. Because of things like that I like them so much.

Because this episode is not from me, I only show you the link of the first part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBFIYBhwNHU.
For the other parts you have to go to the account of ihsara001 http://www.youtube.com/user/ihsara001. And also this episode isn't subbed. But even if you don't know Japanese you still understand it.

This is the music video and theme song "My girl" to the drama with the same name "My girl". It's an Japanese drama and not the Korean drama My girl. With Aiba from Arashi, as the main actor.

Is a Korean boy band to their music I'm currently listening. What the most unbelievable thing is, they are a 13 member group. Also maybe because their are so many, they also have sub groups.
At the moment I'm totally addicted to some of their songs.

Here is the first one: It's "sorry sorry"
You have to watch the unbelievable choreography they have... (made by Justin Timberlake's choreographer)

Now I'm going to present you two new drama's I'm currently watching.
Both are entirely different from each other, but have in common that there is a love story in them.

The first one is the Korean drama "You're beautiful".
"Tae Kyung and On Yu are in search of a new member for their idol group, A.N.JELL. However, Mi Nam suffers an injury at the last moment. So Mi Nyu, his twin sister, is asked to step in for her brother. The rest of the drama follows the behind-the-scenes life of an idol group."

She has to disguise as a boy and has to keep her beeing a girl secret, even in front of the other group members. But the leader gets to know her secret and also another member knows that she is a girl.
The leader requests her to resign, but in the end helps her to hide her identity in order to find her mother. And the other member watches secretly over her.
You can say, that all the members of A.N.JELL fall in love with her....

There are 16 episodes planned and until now there are 8 episodes released. This drama has very beautiful and sad scenes in it. I sometimes think that some dialoges and actions are extremely over the top, but it is a comedy with romance, so there have to be such things in there.

The second drama I'm currently watching is the japanese drama "Ohitorisama".
The synopsis is:
33-year-old Akiyama Satomi is a history teacher at the prestigious all-girls high school she once attended. She has earned the nickname "ohitorisama" (meaning "one person") for her perfectionism and capability to handle any work by herself. At the same time, the name also refers to her lack of romance. One day, a young man named Shinichi arrives at the school as a temporary instructor. He's ten years younger than Satomi, has only worked part-time jobs, and has neither money nor status. Although the other female teachers and students find him cute, he is completely not Satomi's type... or is he? Will love blossom between this unlikely pair?

Until today there are two episodes subbed. This drama is aired every Friday 22 o'clock in Japan on TBS.
Already the first two episodes are so funny and beautiful that everyone should watch it!
And that is only my personal opinion, but the main actor is so cute (and that by an 23 years old guy).

Moreover singing Big Bang one of the songs of this drama:

Aishiteru opening

I'm currently watching this Drama.
Aishiteru is so beautiful and sad. I've cried in every episode I've watched so far.

The Drama Aishiteru is about:
Typical mother Noguchi Satsuki spent her days trying to balance her life as a wife to her hard-working husband Kazuhiko and mother to their only son Tomoya, a seemingly withdrawn fifth-grader with whom Satsuki struggled to communicate. Seiko and Ozawa Hideaki, living in the same neighborhood as the Noguchi family, were raising a rebellious junior high school daughter Mihoko and their first son Kiyotaka a second-grader who was showered with much love and affection by his mother.

On that ill-fated day when Kiyotaka was reported missing and was later found dead, Tomoya was taken into custody by police as the prime murder suspect. Tomoya slowly begins to open up about his innermost feelings as the hidden truth reveals the true motive behind his cruel act of violence. Satsuki, as mother of the perpetrator, comes face-to-face with her son’s true self while Seiko, as mother of the victim, deals with her sorrow and anger. --NTV

So if you like something about the love in families and the hardships these people face than you have to watch it. Also I absolutely like the end with those absolutely beautiful elephants.

Also the music is so adorable and beautiful.
But I had to stop at episode 8, because I need to wait until there are further translations. My Japanese is not really good, therefore I have to wait.

In the last few month I've been to a lot of European capital cities!
Besides Budapest the capital city of Hungary I went to Amsterdam the capital city of the Netherlands.
And now finally I've made it to visit the capital city of my country Berlin!!

Of course we visited all the famous places. We made a tour through the city with one of the sight seeing bus and also we went to the famous places with the metro and by foot.
We visited of course the Brandenburger Tor

And an absolutely short way is between the Brandenburger Tor and the Reichstag, where the German government has its place. So you can go there absolutely comfortable by foot.

Berlin 11.04.09 (2)

But as you can see there is a long line in front of the Reichstag. That is because of the famous cupola on which you can go and look over Berlin and the working federal minister. Because you can look through the cupola not only outdoors but also indoors in the plenary hall.

And also if you stand on the steps of the Reichstag you can look straight to the Bundeskanzleramt. This is the place where the German chancellor has his/her working place.







On you last day we traveled with the metro to Potsdam that is a city near Berlin with lots of famous buildings like the castle Schloss Sanssouci. With its beautiful garden and park.

Maybe I should have written something about Budapest long ago. But to be honest I'm a really lazy person. And for a long time I absolutely hadn't the mind to write something.
So now!

But the problem with pictures of Budapest is, that I forgot my camera. And I only had my mobile phone with limited storage space. Therefore I have only a few pictures!!

I went at the begin of November with my class to Budapest. We made a sight seeing tour with the bus, visited a church and also the chamber of commerce. I'm still studying business!

But we also went to a bath house. Budapest is quite famous for it's hot springs.
That was really awesome there, this bath house had a lot of different pools with different hot water temperatures, there were sauna and a place were you could get a massage. Also it had a heated outdoor pool and to go in November was really refreshing.

I have one question to Maou. More precisely to one song played in Maou!
It's the song they played in episode 10 after Naoto comes back from Shiori and breaks down, as he surely knows that his brother was the one who killed. Also they played it in the last episode, but I don't know when!
It's a song called "Schlaflied"! The name is German and the woman also sings in German.
Therefore I want to know from whom is this song, was he especially produced for Maou (which I don't think, why should they produce a German song?), who sings it and so on?
This is the song I mean:
