Hana Yori Dango F4 Mini Reunion
It’s weird seeing news like this. I mean I was only trying to marathon all the Japanese Hana Yori Dango series before watching the recent addition, which is the adaptation of Hana Nochi Hare. I read this bit offhand somewhere and had to check Matsuda Shota’s Instagram account to verify. So my favorite F4 had a mini reunion recently.

It’s Spring!
It’s Spring here in South Korea! Or so they say. The weather is a bit bipolar with some days a little bit warm and others still wintery cold. But, if there is anything that signals the coming of spring here and in Japan, it’s the appearance of sakura or cherry blossoms! Last time I’ve seen any was about sixteen years ago.
