Lee Hong-ki & Fujii Mina from GWGM
Apr. 17th, 2017 08:40 amI just finished re-watching We Got Married Global Edition (GWGM) for the nth time :P and still love this squirrel/daramji couple to bits, nicknamed by the staff and fans. This is a Korean realty show where two international celebrities join together in a virtual marriage. They are my OTP. XD
They looks so beautiful and happy together, I hope that their real-life friendship blooms into something more. Although, awkwardness and shyness was evident at first, but as the show progressed, their actions indicated that they genuinely cared for one another. Yes, it might be their superior acting skills, but from what I read, only 30% was scripted, leaving the freedom of 70% to plan their surprises to their heart's desires and express without any filters within the TV world, of course. ;)
Hong-chan did beyond what the show would require like preparing a second wedding ceremony as he felt the first was dampened by the weather (it snowed) and spending time to create a homemade bracelet for his wife rather than resting during their overseas honeymoon trip. He even said that she looked was like the goddess, Athena. ♥ His sincerity can be sense as he always trying his best put her feeling before his own. :) BTW, Mina-san was a F.T. Island fan during her college days and still is, so I am sure she was super excited and nervous to met Hong-ki. She even sang highly off-key of one of their songs in Korean during their first meeting. Extremely braved of her, he was kind of embarrassed, but was still happy. This is definitely fate! :)
Hongki & Mina-san oozing with Korean cuteness
Mina-san & Hongki piano duet - Her wedding gift to him
Hong-chan's proposal to his Nuna~~ It was so sweet and beautiful....
It was extremely devastating and heartbreaking when they had to say farewell to one another since this is a virtual marriage, it felt like two of my best friends were breaking up. ::( If they had me kyaa~~ for them for 15 episodes and searching for fan fiction, do you know what will happen if they were cast in a drama together or announced to the world that they are really dating! ♥♥ Praying that it will be reality one-day and has everyone support!! :) At least, we know that they are keeping in touch, evidence. XD
I have only seen Mina-san from the Jdrama, Bloody Monday, and have never even knew that Hong-chan or his band (F.T. Island), existed until now. The series aired a few years ago and Mina-san was much younger, but she has become such an intelligent and sophisticated lady. As for Hong-chan, I thought he was just another youngster from another boy band that has a really bad reputation with the ladies. :/ ...and now Mina-san has changed him into a mature, considerable and lovable adult, even his own friends said on the show that he is completely different around his wife. I have become addicted to his charm, mischievous, shyness and caring nature as the GWGM progressed. He simply is a wonderful, talented individual with a gorgeous voice. I was also impressed by his fluent Japanese and really doubt that another Korean star will grab my attention like his. ;)
GWGM Season One is highly recommended even if you are not interested in Korean entertainment, I promise endless smiling and laughter will be experienced as you share your journey with our daramji couple. :D The full show is available on Youtube and DramaFever.
Here's a glance from their wedding photo album:

RoST (紳士的好色三人組) is a seiyuu group consist of Miki Shinichiro, Ishikawa Hideo, and Kasahara Rumi. I am not positive of the reasons to why the group was born, might have been for a series or something else (Do drop me a note if you have any ideas, I would love to know. :) ) However, for the short life span of the act, they had produced many wonderful and lovable songs. :D
I.D.E.A. ~Boku wa mainichi, yume o miru~ is the ending theme for Mega Man X6. The music is quite upbeat and catchy causing me to hum along with it as the piece was played continuously via my WMP. The vocals were executed beautifully by the three seyiuus, even the rap performed by Miki-sama. which I found delightful. Now, now you probably think I believe that all things touched by him are gold, which they are not, but this one certainly is! I absolutely adore his energetic performance. XD Also, the lyrics are quite inspirational -- being able to dream every day and aiming to succeed them. Definitely wonderful, ne?! :)
So here is I.D.E.A. ~Boku wa mainichi, yume o miru:
I.D.E.A. ~僕は毎日、夢を見る~ (I.D.E.A. I see dreams, every day)
Lyrics: Yokoyama Isamu
Music and Arrangement: Kashibara Nobuhiko
Vocals: RoST (Miki Shinichiro, Kasahara Rumi, and Ishikawa Hideo)
Ending theme for MegaMan/Rockman X6
Todokisou na
hitosuji no hikari mo
gooru janai
tsugi no tabi no hajimari
It seems when you're going forward
The straightforward light of glory
Is not your goal
It's the beginning of the next journey
Subete o sutesaru
yuuki ga aru nara
motto tooku e yukerusa
dokomademo
Abandon everything
If you have the courage
You can go even further
Anywhere
Hoshizora ni chikai ano basho ni
nani ga aru no darou
tozasareta doa no mukou
tashikamete mitai
puropera mo hane mo iranaisa
sukoshi aidea ga areba
kanarazu toberu Fly high
In that place close to the starry sky
I think there's something
On the opposite side of a locked door
If you want to see for sure
Even if it seems you have no propellar or feathers
All it takes is a small idea
and certainly you can soar Fly high
Sora wa takaku
fuku kaze wa yasashii
koko ni itemo
fuman nankanai kedo
In the endless sky
The wind is gentle
Even in this place
There is no dissatisfaction, however
Ushinau kawari ni
tsukamu mono mo aru
motto ooki na jibun o
mitsuketai
In parting with compensation
You've seized something
If a bigger self
Is what you want to find
Sansarou de mayou migi hidari
sukoshi fuan demo
onaji dake mune no naka ni
kibou ga aru kara
sobie tatsu kabe mo torikku mo
kimi ni aidea ga areba
norikaerareru Fly high
If you lose your way at a three-forked road and don't know left from right
Even if you feel a little uneasy
Because in that same heart
There is also hope
You can stand tall against walls and tricks alike
If you have an idea
You can overcome it Fly high
Anzen o negau Donkey
bouken o erabu Monkey
taikutsu...
juujitsu...
boku wa mainichi, yume o miru
soshite subete o tobikoeru
I.D.E.A.
A donkey wishes for safety
A monkey chooses the risk
It's boring
It's fulfilling
I see dreams, every day
And rise above everything
I.D.E.A
Hoshizora ni chikai ano basho ni
nani ga aru no darou
tozasareta doa no mukou
tashikamete mitai
puropera mo hane mo iranaisa
sukoshi aidea ga areba
kanarazu toberu Fly high
In that place close to the starry sky
I think there's something
On the opposite side of a locked door
If you want to find out for sure
Even if it seems you have no propellar or feathers
All it takes is a small idea
and certainly you can soar Fly high
