Gokusen: Lovely Fan Art

by Fiona

I’ve been hooked on the Sawada Shin and Yamaguchi “Yankumi” Kumiko pairing since I re-watched Gokusen a few days ago, absolutely adore this couple and decided to shared some fan artwork that I had found. Wish I had their special and wonderful talents. I’m happy if I can draw a recognizable stick figure here. Yeah, drawing is not my strong traits.:P The pieces below are quite beautiful and feature both the drama and manga versions of the characters. Enjoy!

Recommended Fanfics: Gokusen – ShinKumi

by Fiona

Happy Saturday, everyone!!! So glad it is, the last few days have been just soo hectic….

Finally had a chance to organize my cluttered bookmark list in Firefox. I was quite surprise to see how many sites had accumulated — references to projects/papers I had researching for graduate school, attention-grabbing articles, etc. Near the bottom of the list was a compilation of interested fanfics, mostly Jdrama/anime related. I’ll share a few of my favorites throughout the week. They’re quite well-written and holds the true dynamics of the characters. Today, I’ll start with Gokusen, the Shin and Kumiko pairing:

Nodame Cantabile – Anime second season

by Fiona

Boy, my day is just getting better and better. Looks like the 2nd season of the anime will be produced and aired in October. It will be the Paris arc, we definitely need more of Chiaki-sama and Nodame. The Live Action special was brilliant performed by Hiroshi Tamaki and Ueno Juri (one of favorite Jdramas). However, some of the really touching and emotional scenes are missing and was hoping to see them portrayed. Jumping with joy at that moment!
