I finished watching the SP and the movie last night. And now I have like a million theories about million things:
- I wonder about Shibata's status a lot. Up until the end of the movie, I thought that everything that had happened so far was a reality. However, Nonomura's words at the beginning of the SP ("the world you are living in might be created by your imagination") and Mayama's sort of cryptic line in the end of the movie ("you were asleep a long time") lead me believe that though she may be alive, she's still in a coma and dreamed all the events in the SP and the movie from the moment that guy in a suit touched her forehead. Of course, after more than ten years she must've woken up, considering she gave Nonomura the information about the Aggressors in SPEC. So, I want to believe she's alright nowadays, and that she and Mayama settled down and are living peacefully. Then again, maybe everything that happened in the movie and the SP really did happen, I don't know lol. Huge mindfuck.
- What exactly is Asakura? And what is his beef with Mayama? We know he was the ringleader in the whole Saori thing, but I always had the feeling that he did it to get back at Mayama somehow, for whatever reason.
- Regarding Asakura and his powers... I'm still not 100% sure about what they really are. He can get into the minds of others, do the whole face changing thing, and maybe even mess with their memories. That being said, could it be that Asakura= Tsuda? I mean, it would make sense that the guy is still around, he's virtually indestructible. Any thoughts on this?
- Also, wtf. Was Aya in love with Mayama the whole time? I thought she was in love with hunky robocop Madarame.
- Nonomura. I love the old man, but in SPEC there is something incredibly fishy about him. Keizoku makes a big deal about him retiring and all, but he's still in "active" (sort of, lol) service in SPEC: Why?
- Aaaand SPEC speculation. I always got the feeling that Sebumi and Mirei might have had something in the past, or that they were at least inching towards something before Shimura got shot. At least that was the feeling that I got from the first few scenes they shared together, though after Sebumi started getting more involved with Toma, his demeanor towards Mirei kinda changed a bit.
- I think it would be fun if Kintaro from the SP and the movie (if everything actually happened) has actually met Toma at some point. The whole Kyodai thing and the gyoza love/stinking of garlic... lmao, who knows. They'd be good friends, methinks.
- RE: the upcoming movie and SP... Kuriyama Chiaki's single mom character and Sebumi... I really hope it doesn't go down the "secret kid" road. I would HATE that.
I really wish someone would re-sub SPEC entirely. Because even with my uber-limited japanese I could tell that a lot of the subtitles were just OFF. And it bothers me so much because I feel like I'm missing a lot. And that's way too much when it comes to this franchise, apparently.
WHAT IS THAT MAGAZINE. What is in it? Because that picture is gorgeous, so I'm snagging it and PUTTING IT IN MY PHONE. Along with everything else SPEC/Keizoku related, lmao.
The band is COLD KITCHEN, and I downloaded their mini album from here (locked post, you gotta join :( ):

Their music is really good. I doubt I'll be picking up the music video again, lol. I honestly just attempted to make it because I was (still am) so excited about the drama, and I swear I haven't made a video in years. And obviously my comp just wasn't up to it (it isn't up to many things lately, lmao). I tried again a couple of hours ago and it proceeded to die on me again, fml. So if you ever want to make another video, there's a song candidate for you, hahaha.
BTW, your video is AWESOME. Guess where it is now, lol.
Also, I started watching TRICK last night. It's really different, but so, so great. I'm gonna stalk the crap out of the director forever and watch everything he's ever done.
