Filming Location: Yume no Ohashi

Leave a comment

To be honest, we found this filming location by chance. We just left Mizuno Hiroba Park and heading to Fuji TV when I realized the bridge we crossed on looks familiar. Then it hit me, this must be filming location for Anna-san no Omame when Riri and Kyutaro switched their body. And boy I was right! The scene was memorable and I love that particular episode so much. FYI, I’m fan of Becky. She is entertainment genius! The fact that she is fans of SMAP adds billion extra points.

Have you ever seen this beautiful and serene shrine as shown on picture below on your favorite dorama?

This particular stair appear on Yamada Taro Monogatari (starring: Arashi’s Ninomiya and Sakurai), My Boss My Hero (starring: TOKIO’s Nagase, ex-KATTUN’s Tanaka, and NEWS’s Tegoshi), and Nobuta wo Produce (starring: Yamashita Tomohisa, KATTUN’s Kamenashi, Hey!Say!JUMP’s Nakajima). Even though only for a few seconds, but the stair was memorable. In fact, it dubbed as Tokyo’s stairway to Heaven.  Continue reading →

Filming Location: Ending Scene of Shinigami-kun Dorama

3 Comments

Yeah! Starting this month, we have special posts about filming locations. Didn’t we tell you that we are very dedicated Arashi’s fangirls? We tried our best to search, find, visit, and reenact the scenes of Arashi’s doramas/movies/shows. In addition to our 5-rainbow-colored boys, we also have our ultimate bias, Ikuta Toma, and other JE units/talents and Japanese idols. We are bringing them here for you!

Wait, for those who are not Japanese idols’ fans, you can still enjoy our posts because the places are surprisingly interesting! They are not popular among tourists, so limited info and reviews are available there. By reading our posts, we hope you find useful information about those hidden gems in Japan 😉

Let’s start with a dorama called Shinigami-kun. If you’re an Arashi’s fan or a J-dorama freak, you must be familiar with it. TV Asahi aired it on April-June last year. Among the 9 episodes it has, we found that the last one captured the most memorable scene. Yes, the ending scene! (don’t worry, this is not a spoiler)

Kuil Meiji

Leave a comment

Apa yang terbayang jika mendengar tentang Shibuya?

Keruwetan di zebra cross Shibuya yang tersohor seantero instagram? *eh?*

Patung Hachiko yang ternyata gitu doang *jahat…* tapi jadi meeting point favorit?

Fashion mall 109 yang ternyata harga bajunya mahal? *kere*

Tempat-tempat yang disebut di atas jadi lokasi tumpah ruah-nya anak-anak muda Jepang dan para pelancong dari berbagai belahan dunia. Berbeda 180 derajat dari tempat-tempat tadi, kalian bisa menikmati semilir angin di bawah pohon rindang di Shibuya dengan mampir ke Kuil Meiji.

Asakusa: Nakamise-Dori dan Kuil Sensouji

2 Comments

Sebagai negara yang mayoritas penduduknya menganut agama Shinto dan Buddha, ga heran kalo kuil banyak ditemukan di sana. Salah satu yang tersohor dan jadi objek wisata wajib saat mengunjungi Tokyo adalah Kuil Sensouji di Asakusa. Kuil Buddha ini udah berumur ribuan tahun, pantaslah disebut sebagai kuil tertua di Tokyo.

Fitur yang bisa dikatakan paling  iconic di kuil ini adalah gerbangnya yang bernama Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate). Dengan lampion merah segede dosa (dosa siapa? gw?), wajib banget buat foto di depannya biar seluruh dunia tau kalo kamu udah pernah ke sana.
