MSCM 2430: Google Yourself

I have found a lot about myself but some in ways where I’m a different person. What I’ve found out is that there is more than one Sandy Rodriguez and more than one Sandy Neal. But there is only one Sandy Rodriguez-Neal and that’s me. Anyway, I found myself with a poem about Juken or Beast Style Fighting as it translate, forgot all about that poem. I also found my own profile from Dailymotion, didn’t know you can search that. Then, after finding those two things, all I found of myself was other people with my name across America as a actress, a law firm, a person from Kansas, and a facebook account. I can’t believe that I’m on facebook even though I’m not a member. This search about me, after finishing it was a crazy one but it was good to know more about yourself and who you might be.

Hey! Say! JUMP Dominates 2008

See Hey! Say! JUMP not once but twice as I pick two of their songs here in my favorite Japan Songs for 2008.

My Top Ten Songs for 2008 are:

#10: KAT-TUN -- "Don't U Ever Stop"
#9: TETRA-FANG -- "Destiny's Play"
#8: NEWS -- "Taiyou no Namida"
#7: ON / OFF -- "Futatsu no Kodō to Akai Tsumi"
#6: V6 -- "Light in Your Heart"
#5: Tourbillon -- "Break the Chain"
#4: Hikaru Utada -- "Prisoner of Love"
#3: Hey! Say! JUMP -- "Mayonaka no Shadow Boy"
#2: Arashi -- "truth"

The Number One song is Hey! Say! JUMP! with "Your Seed". "Mayonaka" was a good song but their summer hit "Your Seed" in my opinion dominated all other songs thus it's number one. See you tomorrow with more of my winners. Bye for now!

Best Actor is . . .

I chose five of the best actors from these show and here they are in reverse order.

#5 is Teppei Koike for "Shibatora"
#4 is D-Boys' Koji Seto for "Koizora"
#3 is KAT-TUN' Kazuya Kamenashi for "One Pound Gospel"
#2 is NEWS' Tomohisa Yamashita for "Operation Love"

And the Best Actor is. . . Look and Find Out.

Yes! It's Jin Akanishi for "Yukan Club"! ! Woo-Hoo! Be right back with my favorite Japan Song for 2008.

I Forgot Winter 2009

I can't believe I forgot about the Winter Dramas that'll start in less than two months. Right now things are sketchy but here are the dramas I plan to watch right now as we're heading towards the new year. Also note that the first two I've announced both air at the same time:

Triangle (Fuji TV): Tuesdays at 10 PM JST; a drama about a murder case dating back to 1984 and never being resolved until now. Starring are Yosuke Eguchi, Ryoko Hirose, SMAP Member Goro Inagaki, Kinya Kitaoji, Kuranosuke Sasaki, Saki Aibu, Masato Sakai, and Shosuke Tanihara

Kami no Shizuku (NTV): Tuesdays at 10 PM JST; based on the manga, it's a drama about a young man who inherits his father's business after he dies. So far, the only cast member is KAT-TUN Member Kazuya Kamenashi.

Q.E.D. (NHK): Thursdays at 8 PM JST; a drama about a young prodigy solving various mysteries. Starring are Aoi Nakamura, Ai Takahashi, and Ken Ishiguro

Love Shuffle (TBS): Fridays at 10 PM JST; a drama about whether or not there is only one destined partner in your life. Starring are Hiroshi Tamiki, Karina, Shota Matsuda, Shihori Kanjiya, and Shosuke Tanihara.

RESCUE: Tokubetsu Koudo Kyuujotai (TBS): Saturdays at 7:55 PM JST (or 6 PM JST depending on the length of the first episode); a drama about a firefighter aiming to become a member of its special rescue team; similar to Tomica Hero Rescue Force yet different because it's not a Toku. Starring in the show is KAT-TUN Member Yuichi Nakamaru, News Member Takahisa Masuda, D-Boys Member Masaki Kaji, Kamen Rider Alumnus Yusuke Yamamoto and Jun Kaname, Ryo Ishibashi, and Ken Ishiguro.

Right now, that's all the dramas I plan to see at the beginning of the year. I am still awaiting word for next year's Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and any other dramas that will succeed the ones I watching now. But for right now, this is what I have. I'll be back later this week to show you my top ten music videos and some comments that I have to give out on my first panel discussion.

Gotta, Go! ! See y'all later! BYE

I'm Back + Winter 2009

Hi, everyone! Sorry, I've been gone for the past week but you know, busy with college and all. Well, anyway, let's get down to business here. First off, I would like to present my awards for the half-way point. This is only a half-way point through the dramas' run.

My Best Drama so far is Ryusei no Kizuna because of its funny elements and its way of using them to further their plot.

Best Actor in my opinion right now would be Atsushi Ito from Team Batista no Eiko because he brights a lot of light into his character and seemingly it makes the show more interesting.

Best Actress is definitely Aya Ueto from Celebrity and Poor because she puts a whole lot of aspect just playing Alice and has really matured herself in this role.

Best Supporting Actress in my opinion was very difficult but I would have to go out of the J-Drama category and pick Saki Kagami from Kamen Rider Kiva because her way of acting as the mother of Wataru is very mature and understanding compared to most TV mothers. Also, the way she acts is so like our J-Drama actresses all over.

Best Supporting Actor is a tie between Ryunosuke Kamiki from Kaze no Garden, Ryosuke Yamada from Scrap Teacher, and Ryo Nishikido from Ryusei no Kizuna. The reason why for these three are all for different reasons. The reason for Ryunosuke is because of his improvement and the fact that his narration thus far is very beautiful. For Ryo, it's because his character is different from all the other characters I've seen played by him and instead of playing his usual dark or unfunny characters, he plays a funny character with a great personality. As for Ryosuke, his character is more of the mixture toward Tomohisa Yamashita and the fact that his cold attitude and expressions can hypnotize you at all time.

Those were my main categories and here are my remaining winners. I have plans to come out before Christmas to announce my End-of-the-year winners so please stay tuned and see who I pick. Down below is my list of winner's through the half-way point.

Best Drama: Ryusei no Kizuna (TBS)
Best Actor: Atsushi Ito (Team Batista no Eiko: Fuji TV)
Best Actress: Aya Ueto (Celebrity and Poor: Fuji TV)
Best Supporting Actor #1: Ryunosuke Kamiki (Kaze no Garden: Fuji TV)

Best Supporting Actor #3: Ryosuke Yamada (Scrap Teacher: NTV)
Best Supporting Actress: Saki Kagami (Kamen Rider Kiva: tv asahi)

Until Thanksgiving, No Scrap Teacher Pictures

Because of the November 4th election, I will not be posting any pictures of Scrap Teacher and I won't be doing so until after Thanksgiving. But I urge you to all read my editorial on Obama (see below) being the next President of the United States because it will surely give you a good message.

Still, I can say that this Episode 4 of Scrap Teacher was about the will to win and to survive. That's all it was about, the will to finish what you started. As for next week's episode, I can't say much except run for your lives, the Grim Reaper has come.

Well, I see you all soon and Congratulations, Mr. Obama on making history ! WOOO! ! !

MSCM 2430: It's Our Era !

The following is a Editorial celebrating Obama's victory:

It’s best said by Yuri Chinen of Hey! Say! JUMP in the song Hey Say, “We are Heisei only! We can't do a Showa show! / Here and there are fine! Hey-Say is fine! / Sorry about our era! But don't worry! / Because we surely have dreams in the future / Well then, everyone follow us! Wow!” Simply put, he says that this is no longer your era, it’s our era and it’s time for you to join us for our future. Well, that has happened as just last night at 11 PM EST, Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States.

Imagine that just four years ago at this time votes were still being calculated and nobody knew whether Bush would be re-elected or would John Kerry win. None of that matters now! All that matters now is that a new era has begun. When word came out that Obama won, excitement filled the air. Everyone from the United States to his father’s homeland to his elementary school in Indonesia celebrate with no intention of stopping. The 2008 election was surely a milestone election because not only history was made, but a new era has begun.

You can say it best that it’s no longer your era, it’s our era and it’s time for you to join us for our dreams and our future. Let’s join Barack Obama for our dreams and our future. Once again, this is our era.
