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.
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.

Let me preface this by saying that I, like many bowerbirds, are attracted to anything shiny. (And anything blue, to continue the analogy, and anything directly related to pop culture as a machine.)

Thus: it was inevitable, when, one day off from work, I stumbled into [livejournal.com profile] omonatheydidnt through a maze of links and discovered the amazingly amazing 2NE1 and their video for 'Try To Follow Me.' )

And now - a picspam of "Try To Follow Me", featuring pretty girls named CL, Dara (<3), Minzy and Bom. YES



i got that thang thang, if you know what i mean )

YOU GUYS. GUYSE.
As I can't sleep, I thought I'd watch one of my old favourite comfort movies - Richy Guitar.

Richy Guitar could quite possibly be the most accurate representation of anything from the early 1980s, ever, and stars a very young Jan Vetter and Bela B. Felsenheimer - or Farin and Bela from that obnoxious band I seem to harp on about a lot, die ärzte. And you better believe this shit is good. Anything with a Nena cameo has to be Oscar material! Right?

*crickets*

Anyway. On to Berlin, 1984 style!




TEENAGE-ER LEE-BERR )

Bonus feature! [livejournal.com profile] lizbee and I dressed as Anja and Richy for Halloween!



Bless. <3
Anyone who knows me in real-life (and probably online) knows my love for Deutschrappers Fettes Brot. They're one of my favourite bands, and continue to awesome me out with their, well, awesomeness.

In 2002, they released a greatest hits CD that was packaged with a DVD, named Amnesie. The DVD features all of their videos, paired together with a short film that runs through the entirety of their videography, telling a Lynchian tale of a car crash, white rooms, a strange doctor and nurse, bunny suits and James Last.

I freakin' love the film - it's amazingly well shot and ties everything together in a nice, creepy bow. I was feeling the Brot Love this evening and popped it in - thus, here is a [livejournal.com profile] film_stills-esque picspam of Amnesie.



Der Beste Rapper Deutschlands Ist Offensichtlich Ich )

In other news, I love these dorks and want to kiss them for eternity.
There's this episode, right. In the one season of Earth 2, right. It's called "Water", and it falls pretty near to the beginning of the canon, but just far enough that everyone is firmly established and relationships are beginning to flourish.

When I was a wee lass, I thought this episode was all about water. Sourcing water, drinking water, water as a metaphor for life etc. But now, at the tail-end of my twenties, I realise what this episode is all about.

It's all about sexual frustration. Water = sex.

Trust me. You trust me, right?

Crickets, random cough from guy in audience
