Taiyou No Uta ( A Song to the Sun aka Moonlight Sun) I havent been blogging for quite some time.. Have been quite busy with Block 4.. Well actually nothing that interesting happens around here besides love blossoming everywhere.. ( Yawn.. ) Hehe.. Anyways, recently I got my hands on some Jap and Korean dramas!! ( Thanx Carol!!)
I have only watched one of them which I enjoyed very much.. It's entitled Taiyou No Uta or A Song to the Sun..
Erika Sawajiri is the lead actress and she acts as a 16 years old, Kaoru Amane, who suffers from a dreadful skin disorder called, Xeroderma Pigmentosum, or XP for short. It is a genetic disorder of DNA repair in which the body's normal ability to remove damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) light is deficient. There are altogether 8 level of variants, and Kaoru had the most serious variant. This illness makes it impossible for Kaoru to go out in the day as she cannot have direct exposure to sunlight. Thus she can only be allow to go out at night.
At the same time, Erika's co-lead, Yamada Takayuki(from Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World (In Japnese it's called, "Sekai no chuushin de, ai o sakebu"))acted as Fujishiro Kouji. In Taiyou No Uta, Koji(Yamada) wanted to give up music once and for all but it was Kaoru who later came into his life to rekindle the love for music again. At the same time, Koji also shines brightly in the heart of Kaoru; always there encouraging her not to give up on life and music, even though she may not know when she may never sing or play the guitar again. Together, they set their heart towards the dream of becoming musicians.
This is yet another wonderful dorama by Yamada Takayuki & Erika Sawajiri. I give it two thumbs up!! Love the OST ( ori sound track ) as well!!
The following are some pics of the drama..
Peace out!!

Man U secures the league title!!
After 4 long seasons which seems to be an eternity finally Man U clinched the league title (their first Premiership title since 2003 ) following Chelsea's 1-1 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
The result sees United, who have now won the Premiership a record nine times, seven points clear at the top of the table with just two games left.
Man Utd's 2006-2007 season pics
Desperate to regain the title, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson signs England midfielder Michael Carrick for £18.6m
United badly need a good start and Wayne Rooney nets twice as they begin their season with a 5-1 thrashing of Fulham
Wins at Charlton at Watford follow before Ryan Giggs' early goal secures a 1-0 victory against Tottenham
But United suffer a setback when Emmanuel Adebayor's goal gives Arsenal a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford in September
They respond with an unbeaten run, which includes a 4-0 win at Bolton where Wayne Rooney scores a hat-trick
United are three points clear of champions Chelsea at the top after Rooney scores twice in a 2-1 win at Sheffield United
Ricardo Carvalho's equaliser salvages a 1-1 draw for Chelsea at Old Trafford and prevents United from going six points clear
A 3-1 win over Manchester City in December stetches the lead to nine points - Cristiano Ronaldo is among the scorers
But eight days later that lead is down to just two points after a 1-0 defeat against struggling West Ham at Upton Park
Ferguson signs Swedish star Henrik Larsson, 35, on a three-month loan deal during the January transfer window
Larsson plays an important role in United's season, scoring his first Premiership goal in a 4-0 win against Watford
United go six points clear after starting February with another 4-0 win, this time at Spurs where John O'Shea ends up in goal
Ronaldo's brilliant late goal clinches a hugely important win at Fulham that extends United's lead at the top to nine points
The title race is blown wide open when Rio Ferdinand's farcical own goal at Portsmouth helps condemn United to a 2-1 defeat
And the tide seems to be turning against United when they draw 1-1 at home to Middlesbrough with Chelsea closing in
But 28 April is a crucial day; United come from behind to beat Everton 4-2 while Chelsea can only draw at home to Bolton
Ronaldo's penalty secures a 1-0 win at Manchester City and leaves United on the brink of claiming the Premiership crown
And when 10-man Chelsea are held to a draw by Arsenal, Manchester United are confirmed as Premiership champions
