 because i thought the chicks were hot!  haha. just joking&#8230;  watching dramas only in japanese forced me to learn japanese.  i started from &#8220;moshi moshi&#8221; and learned lines such as, &#8220;doshite sonno koto shita no?&#8221;  or &#8220;zutto anata no koto ga suki datta!&#8221;  no those aren&#8217;t pick up lines, i rented love dramas on purpose to i could learn everyday japanese and at the same time, keep me entertained&#8230;.<br \/>\non my last trip to japan, i found a secret website that shows every single japanese drama ever made.  so i started to watch my all time favorite &#8220;Hoshi no Kinka&#8221; drama and got hooked!!!  i ended up watching the whole dam drama. haha..<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100706203559.jpg\" width=\"578\" height=\"387\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nmeet aya, no this is not the famous actress sakai noriko that got arrested.  this is aya and the only name i have for this girl.  aya is deaf and probably had the worst luck with love in the world.  i couldn&#8217;t help but feeling sorry for her the whole drama because everything that could go wrong, went wrong for her.  she must have cried 100 x in the drama and smiled only a few.  it was pretty dam sad&#8230;.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100706203901.jpg\" width=\"586\" height=\"405\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nhere she is crying again.  haha&#8230;  the cool thing about this drama website is that there are subtitles!!!  yeah, back in the days, i didn&#8217;t know what the heck they were talking about because it was only in japanese.  now i know everything and finally understand what happened.  you might think i have free time to watch a drama?  no, i watched it because i&#8217;m still learning japanese and this is the best way.  if you ever want to learn japanese, i highly recommend watching dramas.  ummmm, which one should i watch next???  any recommendations?<br \/>\nas far as aya, i will always feel sorry for her.  no matter in fake life or real life, she&#8217;s always the poor girl that just couldn&#8217;t find love&#8230; kawaiso&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>good morning from steamy humid hot japan. gosh, when i got off the airplane yesterday, i felt the heat. 30 seconds later, i was sweating!!! but it&#8217;s ok because the cold draft beers with sushi taste much better!! i&#8217;m on day 1 and i&#8217;m getting excited on what&#8217;s ahead! i&#8217;m going to 7\/11 to look [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-go-naminori"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3573\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
