Densha Otoko & Me

Assalamualaikum....

I'm back with new entry, maybe the last entry before going back home 2moro. I want to share psl Densha Otoko , satu drama jepun yang bagi aku sangat best untuk ditonton. Before aku mengaitkan Densha dgn diri aku, meh kita tengok sikit synopsis Densha Otoko ni.

Adapted from the best selling book "Train Man," this is the true life story of a geeky young man's romance with a beautiful young lady. The book is based on actual messages posted on a huge internet discussion board in Japan. A million internet users followed the Train Man's romance, giving him advices on how to impress the girl and take her out on dates. Train Man belongs in the so-called "Akiba-kei" category: a term that describes nerdy looking men who hang out at Akihabara (the famous electronics area in Tokyo) all day, who are obsessed with video games and computers.

Hermes

Saori Aoyama is a 25-year old woman who works at a foreign company in Tokyo. She has lived overseas for a long time and is fluent in English. She has an aura of sophistication and a beautiful face that turns men's heads. One Sunday, Saori had to attend a party at work. Her female colleagues are busy searching for good-looking guys while Saori attends foreign guests, flashing warm smiles at them. After a long day working, Saori rides the train home only to be involved in an incident that would change her life.

Train Man/Densha Otoko

The young man is 23-year old Tsuyoshi Yamada. He is the typical nerd obsessed with anime and computer games. He always hangs out in Akihabara, the electronics center in Tokyo. Tsuyoshi has no interest in fashion and other trends, and his age equals the number of years he hasn't had a girlfriend. He works as a salesman at an employment agency but is always scolded by his boss. Tsuyoshi just happened to be on his way home from an event in Akihabara when he met Saori. He has never been in a fight before, but the sight of the drunk harassing Saori made him furious as he stood up to protect her.

If it wasn't for the drunk man in the train, Tsuyoshi and Saori would never have become acquainted. A few days after the train incident, Tsuyoshi really receives a package from Saori. Inside was a Hermes tea cup. Tsuyoshi held the bright orange cup with his shaking hands. Unfortunately, he has never had a girlfriend in the past and is at a loss about what to do. That is when he visits a huge internet discussion board for some help.


Why this drama seems related to me very well?

For some reason, eventhough ramai yang tak suka dgn Densha yang suka nangis dan melihat Densha sebagai manusia yang hopeless or loser, aku terasa dan nampak diri aku dalam Densha. Yer, mungkin ramai yang tak percaya, tp aku lebih kurang Densha jgk dulu. I mean, aku cukup gementar kalau berborak dgn girl eventhough dalam phone jer. Kalau depan-depan, mati akal aku dibuatnya.

Pernah sekali, aku yang banyak bercakap ni tetiba blank dan gugup gila bila borak dalam phone. Perempuan tu sendiri antar testimonial kat Friendster aku, cakap aku ni jenis gelabah. hahaha. Eventhough aku takder la seteruk Densha tp in some way, aku paham kenapa dia camtu. Being a loser and anti-social is really sucks. Kekadang, aku rasa aku juga cam dia, lebih bersosial dalam dunia virtual dari dunia nyata.

Dulu-dulu, cukup susah tgk aku berborak dgn perempuan, apa tah lagi menyimpan nombor telefon perempuan dalam memori handphone aku. Dan paling ketara, bila aku berjalan dan berjumpa dgn mana-mana perempuan, kepala aku mesti tunduk dan pandang ke bawah jer. Dan disebabkan aku ni sgt bersosial dgn lelaki dan suka melakukan lawak-lawak gay, aku pernah jugak dicop gay. Binawe punya member, aku suka wat lawak gay jer la....aku totally normal. Nak kena lempang panggil la aku gay...sure makan pelempang aku takpun makin teruk kena harass.

Tapi, semuanya berubah lepas tu. Aku mula bergaul dgn ramai girl bila aku start kenal dgn #gurly. Thanks semua sebab berjaya mengubah diri aku yang senyap ni kepada manusia paling pervert dalam #gurly. Miahaha...bila aku sosial, aku masih dgn perangai lama tp paling best dgn #gurly ialah lawak-lawak pervert yang kekadang leh pecah perut sebab gelak kalau dipikirkan balik. sejak tu, aku jadik sgt sosial. Hahhaa. maybe aku dilahirkan pandai bersosial cuma peluang nak bersosial jer takder. sekarang ni, dalam memori handphone aku, nombor perempuan lebih kurang jer dgn nombor lelaki. Balance.

Cumanya, aku tak lucky cam Densha, aku masih tidak jumpa my 'Hermes'. Time will come and i hope, she will be my Mrs. Mangifera.

"When you waiting for someone you like, time seems to strech to eternity, and while you're with them, it's pass in an instant" - Densha Otoko.

footnote: Sometimes, drama and movie is the true reflection of some people life and whether we want to believe that really happen, it's just our judgement can decide it.
