Soba ni iru ne.

Entri daripada KH telah berjaya mencetuskan kembali minat aku terhadap lagu-lagu Jepun. Heehee. Korang tengok dan dengar Koko ni iru yo (I'm waiting here). Aku pasti mesti perasaan korang akan tersentuh. Lagi tersentuh kalau korang hayati makna bait-bait lirik lagu tersebut.

Dengar balik lagu tu aku jadi teruja untuk dengar lagu-lagu terbaru J-pop. Bermula lah pencarian aku di Google dan YouTube. Ada lah beberapa lagu baru, tapi kebanyakan yang aku jumpa lagu-lagu lama. Best juga layan J-pop ni. Bagi aku kalau ada berkaitan dengan Jepun memang aku sangat suka. Daaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiisuki ! Satu lagi, orang Jepun ni, kalau buat lagu tentang heartbroken dan perkara yang sewaktu dengannya, aku guarantee sesiapa yang dengar mesti menusuk kalbu punya. Serius ! Mereka ni memang bijak lah. Silap. Geniuses !

Yasmin Ahmad akan mengeluarkan karya terbaru beliau mengenai kisah cinta di antara gadis Melayu dan pemuda Jepun bertajuk Wasurenagusa (Forget Me Not).

AAAAAAAAAAA !!! (sambil meletakkan tangan di tepi pipi dan membeliakkan mata)

Cerita macam ni lah yang aku daisuki ! Pelakon utama bagi filem ni ialah Karo Kengo sebagai Masaharu dan Sharifah Amani sebagai Inom. Ok lah. Korang baca lah sinopsis cerita ni.

Inom is a 17-year old Malay girl who lost her parents in an accident in her infanthood. She lives with her only living relative—her 80-year old grandmother who is Japanese, and very wealthy.

Presently, her grandmother, Hamida, is on her deathbed. Feeling sorry for her granddaughter, Hamida asks her to take out an old Japanese lacquer box from inside an old chest.

She holds her granddaughter`s hands tightly and says, "Everything I have, I leave to you. And everything you need to know about my past is contained in this box. After I`m gone, take this box to a little village called Saigou. There you will meet the family. They are farmers. The father of that household is called Yusuke. His mother was my cousin. The last I heard from Yusuke was that he became a father, right before you were born. Take this box to Yusuke, and when he opens it, he will know what to do."

A few days later, Hamida dies. Inom visits her relatives in Japan after her grandma has passed away. There she meets her distant cousin, Masaharu, and soon falls in love.

But he doesn’t like her open behavior, part of her strong Malay culture. Neither does his family. Only the neighborhood children and animals like her.

One day, when a horse in the family is having difficulty giving birth, she suddenly whispers to the horse, and miraculously, the baby is born safely.

Masaharu happens to hear Inom talking in the bathroom. He looks through a hole and finds that she`s talking to the birds. She wears only a thin bath cloth around her. He holds his breath to see her beauty and finally runs away.

From that day onwards, he avoids her even more. One night at dinner, Inom tells the whole family that she loves Masaharu. He says he doesn’t feel the same.

She is hurt and so she packs secretly and leaves them. Masaharu, realizing she is gone, feels such a panic that he takes a horse out to chase after her. But he isn’t able to catch up with the train. Later that day the family talks about how crazy Inom was and laughs about her. Except Masaharu. He quietly leaves for his room. He takes out a pen and a piece of paper to write a letter, but halfway through, he stops and lowers his head sadly.

Terujanya aku nak tengok filem ni !! Pelakon-pelakon pun memang best. Karo tu memang handsome lah ! Tak sabarnya aku. Mesti best dapat tengok pemandangan yang cantik di negara matahari terbit tu. Bila lah masa aku akan tiba untuk menjejakkan kaki ke negara tu ?

Ok lah. Aku nak layan dorama Jepun, 1 Liter of Tears. Ada Nishikido Ryo. ;)
