          Death Note (デスノート Desu Nōto?) is a series of three live-action Japanese films released in 2006 and based on the Death Note manga and anime series by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. The films primarily center on a university student who decides to rid the world of evil with the help of a supernatural notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it.

 

          The series is about Light Yagami, an extremely intelligent young man who hates the crime and corruption in the world. His life changed drastically when he discovered a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a human's name is written in it, that person shall die. At first, Light doesn’t believe it. But after knowing that it was real, Light starts to use it. After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami (Death God) named Ryuk, Light decided to become "the God of the New World" by killing the people whom he believe a criminal.

 

Soon, the number of unpredictable deaths of the criminals catches the attention of the ICPO and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer did by the civilian as "Kira" ("Kira" yaken from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer"). He also knows that Kira lived in Japan. L also concludes that Kira can kill people without “laying a finger” on them. Light realizes that L will be his greatest enemy, and a game of extremely smart cat and mouse between the two begins.

 

It's no wonder why the live-action movie Death Note, based on the manga (comic), hit so big in Japan cause it’s a fantastic film with a fantastic comic-book like story.

 

          Death Note gives a different horror movie. It's a type of movie that I guess most people could watch and be entertained by it. I found the film to be extremely entertaining and well as I really enjoy all the “bizarre” stuff in it and the cleverness of it. It also has a lot of unpredictable scene.  It might too Japanese at times. The actor and actress of the film also did it good. They acted very well. The film’s effect is also great. Still, you have to “think” cause Death Note” has a strong dialogue. Yet, it stills a great film.

 

          Death Note is an awesome film and you should check it out. So get away from "Hollywood" for a while and watch something brilliant for a change.

ps:the sub doesn't really match. It's a bit different. Sorry ^^

Being a Teen-age Idol: Pleasant or Unpleasant

Hi, guys. Long time since last I visited this blog. now I will discuss about a being an idol in the teen age. It's too common if  I talking about the idol of teenagers, but for this one is very rare to find, especially in Indonesia. Therefore, I will not talk about this issue in this country, but I'll take the example of the Korea. Hopefully it will allow Mr.T ^ ^. Well then let's begin!

In Korea, there's a lot of teens age idol. I can't even believe it. Some of the idol have the lower age than me but they looks older than me and the most envious thing that they are so much taller than me! OK. It is not a big deal but that makes me very envy. Aish. .what I have done. OK let's continue. In Korea, usually the teen-age idols have a very young age such as 16, 17, 18, etc. Young, right? However, it does not matter as long as they still act as their age. The teen-age idols, usually work as a singer. One of my favorite is 2NE1. All of them are multi talented although they still young. And they can sing perfectly whether it's live or not.

And this can't be called as a pro and contra except I mention the pro and contra between being a Teen-age idol. Here we go!

First, they can get their own money. Yeah that's right! They don't have to ask their parent for their pocket money, they just have to ask their manager and fualla money is ready. But it doesn't mean that they can spend it lavishly. It still rare to find teens who can get their own money. I can't even do it TT. I adore them because they can get their own money by they own effort.

Second, they still young. teen have a very high passion and spirit to get something. So, it's very suit to be a role model as long as they aren't do something so embarrassing or inappropriate to their age.

Third, they can get a lot of experience since they'll meet a lot of people from different places. As you know that the more experience we get, the more we know which one is better for us.

But wait, as long as there's a positive thing, there'll be a negative thing too.

Let's take from an easy example. Teens. That means they still a student which means they have to attend their school. It's definitely hard to attend school when we are too tired cause our activities. Can you imagine how busy is they? They have to attend both school and "work". In the school, they have to attend every single lesson and have to do their task or homework. It does not include their job as a public figure. Their terribly dense schedule, time to do exercise, doing a concerts, etc. CAN YOU IMAGINE IT? Me-who don't have a very dense schedule like that- sometimes feels so tired. As a result, I feels sleepy in the school and can't pay attention to the teacher completely. Too bad. I can't imagine how tired they are. It's hard to arrange an ordinary student's schedule especially a very dense schedule. For me that's nearly impossible. 

Second, since they can get their own money and become public figure, it can make them grow arrogant. People say that Korean are a polite person. But it doesn't mean they can't be like that. Cause the most difficult enemy is ourself.

Third-the most terrible think- is because they've become an artist, they can easily get stuck in the "dark web" of artist world. For example narcotic. Not only in our country, but also in the world many people get stuck in that way and hard to escape.

In conclusion, being a teen-age idol is fun. There must be something unpleasant. It's depend on ourselves which one is better. Maybe we think that being a teen-age idol is fun, but some are saying that being a teen-age idol was not fun. Every person has a different thought, depend on the people point of view.

Well, I think that's enough from me. Thanks for you attention. See ya ^^
