I am on a fanmix roll at the moment! Presenting a mix close to my heart, starring those fucked up kids from Keizoku and Keizoku 2: SPEC.

I wrote something! It was hard. But necessary, if only to satiate [personal profile] firthgal and my appetite for Shige/Wanko action.

FANDOM: Deka Wanko (Hanamori 'Wanko' Ichiko/Shigemura Kanichi)
RATING: R (for sexual situations)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters. If I did, they'd be more fleshed out and kissing a lot more on screen.

Hello, 3:25am! Where did you come from?

Before Keizoku 2: SPEC, there was Keizoku. Before Toma and Sebumi, there was Shibata and Mayama. And before Tsuda we had Asakura (or did we?), along with a host of lovable characters who made up the original Unsolved Cases team, including the one obvious link between the two shows, Nonomura.

The question is: do you need to watch Keizoku to watch SPEC? No, you don't. Not really, although there are places where they cross, deliberately or not. But should you watch Keizoku? Yes, yes you should.

Picspam? Let's do it.

Tomorrow: The Mindfuck that is the SP and Beautiful Dreamer! Shit will get real. ABBA will be played. Your head will hurt but it'll hurt so good.

In other Team Keizoku news, [livejournal.com profile] sainomadelaine is magnificent by letting me know SPEC fic in English (finally) exists:

'Miso Flavor Boiled Dumplings with Worcester Sauce' by [livejournal.com profile] warmboys

I can't even. So good. So good.
Drive-by post! I'm trying to work my way into writing for Korean and Japanese drama fandoms, and used the [community profile] chromaticvision Drabblethon as a starting point to get into my favourite character's heads.

None of these drabbles are very good, natch, but I feel good to flex my writing muscles in fandoms I'm not entirely sure of yet. It's good practice for my Kaleidoscope fic!

An actual update soon - I'm so behind on Fashion 70's and everything in general. But here's to writing again, huzzah!
Alright. It's time to come clean. I am obsessed with SPEC. I have not been so into a show since...Trick and Life. That's the scale we're on, people.

I've fanmixed it. I've vidded it. I'm Tumblring it. I've accumulated the magazine, the visual guide and the whatever-this-is ("Official Dismantling", with full-page, detailed photos of the sets and each episode's title sequence and all the little things you miss when it aired and oh, Japan, you complete me with your fifteen million pieces of merchandise for one drama). I'll probably buy the DVDs, despite no English subtitles.

And I just finished my second full rewatch. Holy moly, me-oh-my. I was talking to [livejournal.com profile] theonlytwin about it, and I - just - I have theories, everyone. So many theories! And questions.

(MAJOR SPOILERS WILL BE UNDER THE CUT.)



MORE QUESTIONS THAN THEORIES ACTUALLY. )

I'm thinking too hard about this, but I JUST CAN'T LEAVE IT.

Guys. Throw some theories at me before I whip out the Dawson crying gif.

Flisty, let me tell you my feelings about SPEC. I love it. So much so, I was moved to (properly) vid for the first time in about two years. It helps that the show is freakin' gorgeous to begin with - so staring at it or Toda Erika and Kase Ryo's faces for two weeks wasn't a great sufferance - but this really was a labour of love and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.


FANDOM: Keizoku 2: SPEC
SONG: 'Holy Moses' by Washington
LENGTH: 3:14mins
DESCRIPTION: I know, I know, you're keeping all your secrets to yourself

Warnings and notes under the cut.


I know, I know, you're holding on to all of mine as well )
I can't sleep, so I was going through my caps folder (a task that may suggest I'm a masochist) and noticed I'd never done a full post about the jdrama Deka Wanko. Which is a crime unto its self, for reasons you're about to discover.

Deka Wanko first crossed my path after we saw these bizarrely ambiguous posters around Tokyo - was it about a frilly ninja who has a gang of dogs in suits? Is a bleak look at our the future? WHAT DID IT MEAN?!

Thanks to the internet, I soon found out and put to sleep any theories I had about genetically modified dogs coming to rule the world via Japan. The show is actually about a police officer named Hanamori Ichiko (the adorable Tabe Mikako) who is the only female in the all-male Section 13. This would be all in good, normally, but -



our girl dresses head-to-toe lolita-style. Oh, and she has a super-sensitive nose that can out-smell Tokyo Metropolitan Police's top sniffer dog. )

All in all, Deka Wanko was fun, frivolous and full of teeny-tiny hats. What more could you ask for? (Her to make out with her older colleague)

Fashion 70's tomorrow! Spoilers: Jang-Bin forgets shirts exist and this happens:


This cap is named 'yep.jpg' because. Yep.
Fashion 70s goodness (including the return of Ugly Hipster Jumper and a scuba suit) tomorrow - [livejournal.com profile] cutselvage has been here this weekend, so we had a good ol' time that sadly wasn't seventies related. Don't be too sad, guys. I promise you paisley!

Anyway, in lieu of fashion polls, I offer you a fanmix I've been sitting on for a while. I wish I could put "making really good fanmixes" on my resume, as I'm sure I'd be the CEO of Fandom Music Inc. easily. Here's one about my new favourite set of partners - Toma and Sebumi from Keizoku 2: SPEC (PARTNERS GUYS).

The Reason I Will Forever Be On The Outside of Asian Drama Fandom
by Pieces, aged somethingsomethingtoooldforthissomething

Because I always ship the wrong goddamn pairings, or watch the wrong damn shows. Let's look to Japanese drama, Deka Wanko, as our example.

The Fandom ships this:






Cute (Short) BoyCop from Actual Boyband! Cute Police Girl In Frilly Clothes Trying To Prove Herself! A perfect match! (except for the fact they have little to no chemistry, unless you count their scenes being akin to watching a brother and sister reluctantly act together)


And Pieces ships this:







Handsome, Rugged (Tall) & Silent Super Cop We Know Nothing About! Cute Police Girl in Frilly Clothes Trying To Prove Herself! Ew! (except they totally have chemistry and you all have to watch this so I have an excuse for frilly/rugged hurt-comfort fic or some shit)


Exactly.

In other news, Deka Wanko is pretty great, for a show about a lolita cop who has a super-smelling nose and wants to bang her handsome older colleague (SHE ASKS IF HE IS SINGLE, PEOPLE. THEN SLEEPS NEXT TO HIM WTF).
There's a Japanese drama called Trick. If we've talked in the past six months, I've probably mentioned it or you've seen the 2389298392 posts I've made about it on Tumblr. We discovered it whilst in Japan over the New Year, and something - whatever it is - called to me, and I now easily rank it in my top 5 shows of all time.

I can't be eloquent about it, guys. I just really fucking love it.

It's not an easy show to watch - I often don't suggest it when people ask for drama recommendations, because it really runs between the absurd, to the emotional, to the whatthefuck and back again. It can even be hard work in places, especially in season three - but I'll talk about that in the actual post.

But, for all it's faults; for some reason, it just clicks with me. It's got all the things I love in a drama - odd couple, banterin' and bickerin', bizarre events that have nothing to do with anything, a car that acts like a pet, a female character who possibly could be based on me and chemistry that's hits it so far out of the ballpark, it's practically in the next postcode.

I'm going to make a vlog for Lost in Omo! this weekend, and a proper pimp post - but until then, enjoy a selection of music about my favourite out of work magician and repressed physicist.

That's basically how I feel right now.
