東京タワー オカンとボクと、時々、オトン。

i've finished half the book. i guess other than my gabai baachan and harry potter, i havent been reading so seriously. it's by lily franky(中川雅也), an autobiography from all the way when he was 3 to till his mum passed away i think[haha. now im still at when he jus graduated from university]. it's very similar to gabai baachan, talking abt their lives, the struggles and the wonderful woman in their lives. in tokyo tower, it would be his mum.

another thing that is very similar btw tokyo tower and gabai baachan would maybe be their backgrounds. both grew up in the rural areas and moved to tokyo in hope of a better future and of course they were attracted by its lights, its glamour. they both started out very poor, couldnt even find food to eat. however, on the side of gabai baachan, it was more encouraging because the author started with an aim in life when he left his hometown for tokyo, which was to become a comedian. on the other hand, in tokyo tower, masaya has no aim in life. so he was living each day by it is. he does fine arts but does not know what is the thing that he truly want in life [until where i read till la].

this book is adapted into a movie and a drama, both released this year. in the movie version, Joe Odagiri is acting as masaya. been wanting to watch his show, any one of them. trailer on top. it really makes my hair stand, esp after reading half the book already. and 東京にもあったんだ is great as the theme song.

theme song:


東京にもあったんだ
こんなキレイな夜明けが
うれしいな　君に見せたいな
君は元気かな


and hais. a few hours later im gonna noe my results. hais. i really dont dare to see. how.

[haha. i just realised 陳柏霖 has a part in the tokyo tower drama. cool. hahaha.]
