I am good ...

Usually, I loathe self-praise but this time I just want to mention that after having seen the official CHANGE subs by Massuki, comparing them to what I have come up with, was surprising in a good way. I even got the names right!!! Okay, so my subs are a bit strange in a few places but all in all I got the gist of most stuff and understood what was being said. Even the squid bit!! I got that right!!! Though the re-scheduling bit I got wrong .. oh well. I'm so happy to have understood as much as I could :)

Well... You are able to understand better and better anyway! And this is great.

BTW, how did you like the 2d ep. of Change?

I'm planning to watch it in Japanese tonight. Yesterday night I finelly re-watched the 1st one with subs and I have to say, so far I love it.

I still have to download ep2 as I first of all d/led SxS and watched that last night. As soon as I have it I will watch it, but so far I really, really like it.

It has funny moments, serious moments and Kimura is so different as Keita ... the gestures, the habits (like kneading his knuckles, scrunching up his lower lip) the squinting as if he needs new glasses but couldn't be bothered to go to the doctors ... wonderful acting.

... wonderful acting.
Yeah! Agree! These dozens of small "non-Kimura" details, gestures and habitshe he made up to create Keita's character - they are amazing! He's a real master now.

Absolutely, and I'm looking forward to the moment when the public realizes that at last.

Are you sure it will? I mean the general public for whom he's just handsome glamorous idoru Kimutaku? Oh, I want to believe that all his brave efforts to show everybody he's a first-class actor will not be in wain. In fact he's risking much, taking this kind of non-glamour role as Keita.
