038: Futatsu no Spica, episode 6 picspam, OMG MY HEART

[boycottbananas]

Or the episode that made Takayama Yuko one of my favorite Young Actresses. ♥ Highly (HIGHLY!) spoilerific for episode 6, so if you're a spoiler-phobe, stay away, obviously. There will be sparse commentary because anything I say will ruin the mood.

(WARNING: Because I am an idiot, I capped this from a 1280x720 video. Therefore, THE CAPS ARE HUGE. AND THERE IS A LOT. Don't let that deter you from looking at it, ne? ^^;; And hey, the quality is better than normal, so. 8D NOT AT ALL DIAL-UP SAFE)











The main character of this picspam, Omi Kei, played by Takayama Yuko. Her character was in love with Suzuki Shu, played by Nakamura Yuichi. If none of this pulls at your heartstrings, then you are cruel and heartless.
















Flashback to when they found out that Shu plays the piano and he asks for requests. Kei yells out "Neko Funjatta" and this is the song that Shu's younger sister plays at his wake.












They place things on his body - pictures of galaxies and constellations and space, his space school uniform, his favorite orange juice, and recent pictures of the group that Kei recently took.























Kei is the only one that isn't crying.





School continues the next day and she looks fine, right?





No, not at all.















They have to finish running his laps in the training and though Kei deems it impossible, slowly, everyone stands up and runs his laps. Except for...



Kei.













We see flashbacks of Asumi, Marika, and Fucchi's times together with Shu, and all the while, Kei is just sitting there.








Fucchi calls out to Kei to run and finally, she picks herself up and runs with the rest, faster than everyone else, racing past them - even though normally, she's the worst runner in the class. (And this is about where I start crying again.)











She even surpasses Asumi, who is the fastest runner in the class. And then she finally breaks down, and my heart breaks with her.



























The scene where she almost confesses that she likes him, right after he won her a necklace at one of those shooting carnival games.











I think the best way to describe it would be from gothicauthor's fic, Kizuna: "It's nothing like a drama. There are no silent, beautiful tears sliding down his face, no cute, adorable sniffles." It's just Kei, breaking down and sobbing her heart and soul out, now that reality has sunk in and the fact that the one that she loves is gone.

And now I go and cry my eyes out. And I've realized that I have a lot more crying scenes, so expect more, soon.

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

it KILLS me every time, i swear. and Takayama Yuko has only been in a total of three dramas.

yep and yep~! ^^ Futatsu no Spica. :]

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WERE DRAMAS ABOUT SPACE CAMP. WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS? I NEED THIS LIKE I NEED AIR. IMMEDIATELY. *salivates*

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

O_O

Er. Hopefully you're not too disappointed or anything? I actually love this, and I'm not even interested in Space. XD;;

Thank you for looking at my (HUGE) picspam, btw! ^^

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

...*cough* my apologies for my capslocking overreaction. im just a space nerd, and the fact that a drama exists with SPACE CAMP is enough to send me round the bend. my apologies. *bows*

and i adore picspams, and will look at them anytime. please continue to spam!

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

XD! Roflmao, it's okay! The drama itself is really good, and I really love the whole cast. ♥ The space camp part of it is interesting, too, although I'm not too sure if it's what you're thinking of. XD;;

Oh, awesome~! I'll have a lot more up soon, as soon as I find the folder of my other caps. XD

ME TOO. UNFAIR, DRAMA THAT I ONLY JUST HEARD OF. :(

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

XD;; I'M SORRY!

My other picspams won't be as heart breaking. ^^;; Thank you for looking at this! :]

omg thanks so much for spoiling this for me coz I've never heard of this dorama but now I super duper urber want to watch it!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a sucker for such emotional scenes...and I think I'm biased but while I absolutely dislike the korean take one terminal illnesses and death, I usually feel a lot for the same illnesses in jdoramas, maybe because of how the dorama shows the ppl coping with the news of impending death and with the aftermath.

Just seeing the caps....at the point where she started to run and overtake ppl, my eyes watered! haha maybe the Bloody Monday theme playing at the background helped build the sad atmosphere.

Have no idea what this dorama is about, but I'll search for it. Is it over yet or is it still running? Wow...it's just ep 6 and someone died..so I guess the rest of the episodes would be about coping and living on without him?

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

Hahah, I'm glad, I think? X3

Ah, I understand what you mean. I think what made it so emotional for me was the fact that I knew she liked him, and when he passed away, you could tell that she was in total shock. And when she finally breaks down... x_x

XD;; Yeah, that scene definitely brings me to tears every time I see it. I don't know what the Bloody Monday theme sounds like, but the music that they have during this scene really makes it even more emotional.

It's about these 5 students that go to a Space school, in hopes of becoming astronauts. There's only 1 episode left that'll come out this Thursday, and it has been subbed up to episode 4. :]

[karened.livejournal.com]

I watched up to ep 3! And I quite like it, although the pairing wise....hmmm...

[anenko.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. That was intense.

I've heard of this drama, but I'm not sure I'd be able to handle *watching* it. So very sad. I probably should have waited until *after* work to look at this picspam!

[boycottbananas.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

The drama itself is actually really cute and funny overall; it was just the second half of episode 6 that is really, really emotional. And I hope you didn't start tearing up during work, or anything. ^^;;

[malimono.livejournal.com]

... I think I'm like everyone else here who hasn't even watched the drama yet and started crying, too.
*sobs uncontrollably*
I have tears on my laptop because of you! T__T

Gosh I'm so bad with sad dramas, but now you really make me wanna watch it.
At least I'l be prepared if I watch it... but I'll probably still bawl my eyes out anyway.

[thixophobia.livejournal.com]

This breaks my heart DX Just... no words. I will forever hate whoever wrote this script (or the manga artist, if this was in the original story) >____> Shu really did become one of my favorites out of the five (though I do like them all) :/ He really breaks my heart in this episode DX Kei, too, of course. Just. Gaaaaaaaah.

This comment is really incoherent.

I've been watching this drama while riding on the train and bus, and I got to the death scene while on the bus. Thankfully, I had to stop watching it right at the beginning of the funeral or else I would have started crying then, which wouldn't have been good. I ended up crying at home when I finished it, and I never cry when watching dramas. This was a wonderful picspam.

[rika-rin.livejournal.com]

I cried in this episode too. :'(

They had to kill Nakamura Yuichi's character. :((

[hikicha.livejournal.com]

From your picspam, I think I should hurry and finish watching Twin spica. I stopped at ep... I forgot which one... but I guessed I'll watch this till the end.
