NaNoWriMo 2011: Detective story Epilogue

Once upon a time or more exactly when I was kid there was this commercial on TV about dish washing product which went something like : "When there is no more, there is still some", meaning that you could do all your dishes still when the bottle was looking empty if you really tried to empty it more. In a way it was a very educational things somehow, against waste maybe, good for the environment as you didn't need to use a lot to be efficient or to tell you to finish what you start. Or maybe it's just me getting a little bit crazy about it tonight. What I actually want to say is of course I finished "Harajuku Kiss" few weeks ago but I wanted to add a little something about my characters so when you were thinking it was over, here you got a little more.

筒井道隆 as Seiichi Sakuma
本仮屋ユイカ as Endou
大塚寧々as Dr. Risa Matsuo
高橋一生 as Yuuji Hibino

I like how this drama starts really funny and then turns totally psychotic. This is one of the quality of the Japanese drama I have seen so far. I also like the recurrent questions without answers until the end.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !! Part 2

En français 
I have been walking around Tokyo with my friends, looking for the Winter Illumination.The first part showed the Blue Forest only as it is a very beautifully illuminated scenery and I have been there few times. This part shows the illumination in the rest of the city with the very special show in Roppongi and the diamonds in the Yumiroland attraction park. I hope you'll enjoy, Happy New Year !!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !! Part 1

En français
It's this time of the year when we are supposed to be happy, to be nice to everyone, to believe in Christmas magic. But most people are just busy buying presents just for the sake of it and counting how many they will get under the Christmas tree.
I didn't buy any presents this year, I didn't decorate a Christmas tree, I didn't cook a fancy meal for everyone to enjoy while being stressed out about how Christmas Eve was going to end up, if every one was going to be happy with their presents. Actually this year I didn't worry about Christmas at all, I just relax and enjoy the present time. I was told that I lack Christmas Spirit and maybe I do but I actually really enjoyed my Christmas this year and the wonderful present Santa gave me (had been asking a lot for this one but no, you won't know what it is, it's my secret.)
Anyway, I hope every body also manage to enjoy this busy time of the year in their own way and to bring some more joy to your new year celebration, here are the lights from Tokyo.

NaNoWriMo 2011: Detective story end

Last Monday, I actually finished to write "Harajuku kiss". I'm not totally sure if I'm totally happy with the ending or not yet but I tend to always rewrite the ending when editing to publish the novel anyway so the ending might change as well as other part of the story. I know that you have been waiting for a long time for the ending so here it is, I hope you'll enjoy this little Christmas present.

The other particularity of this novel is that it actually takes place in a real place and not a place that I totally made up like for Demon Soul or Attic Mirror. On Tuesday I went back to that place again but not on my own this time. How it was on that day and what happened there was like I was really part of the story minus the murder and minus the Kiss.

NaNoWriMo 2011: Detective story part 6

This part is not yet the last part. Things happened that I didn't plan at all and it got scary. Maybe I just got genius ideas or maybe I just got confused, it's for you to judge.
This part is also shorter than the others, I would say that's due to post NaNoWriMo recovery. I still hope you'll enjoy reading it.
