    More Fable

    New scene photos and latest spot footage of the movie "The Fable" (released June 18, 2021) starring Junichi Okada of V6 and starring actress Yurina Hirate and others have been released

    "Hinako, a girl who got sick in a certain incident four years ago and couldn't walk, has a spectacular past in which her parents were also murdered at the same time. After that, she was taken over by Utsuho and spent only revenge, but when she was rehabilitating in the park, Akira Sato (Fable) said, "You will be able to walk ...". With this reunion, a change appears in the heart that was deeply closed, dreaming of hope.

    Hinako's spectacular past, and the appearance of trying hard to take a step again with her own feet, is a famous scene that touches your heart."

    Rating for ep 8 is 14.6%!!! That’s only 0.2% less than ep 1 and we’re still on the increasing rating track from ep 5. Not that a particular actor would have much effect on the rating at this phrase but I’m still happy that a Kaede-focus episode is able to maintain high rating. Imagine what haters would do if it drops even by 0.1%

    E1 14.8%
    E2 13.9%
    E3 12.6%
    E4 14.3%
    E5 13.8%
    E6 14.0%
    E7 14 4%
    E8 14.6%

    Next week is the final ep so we’ll have a 15-min extra

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    I really don’t want DZ2 to end. Seeing Techi weekly is such a treat for all of us, especially when Techi doesn’t do SNS lol. I want to keep seeing her, but she deserves a good rest especially after working nonstop since last year. Her condition the other day made me so worried. But knowing her, she’s probably planning sth. Even when she says she has no hobby, I think she really likes the process of creating artwork and discussing ideas with people (if I can call this a hobby lol). When do you think is a good time for Techi to drop 2nd single? Or do you think she’ll work on drama/movie next?

    Aside from The Fable release on the 18th, Techi will also guest at on Okada’s radio Growing Reed on the 20th

    But the most exciting news for me is ViVi’s covers :mail:

    The bottom 3 are 7net bonuses (you can choose the type). Looking at these images I can only say that Techi surely knows how to end her fans. I’ve been staring at these photos ever since they’re released.

    ———-
    @kopkrazy I’m a SetoIwa shipper too and honestly thought they could develop an amazing loveline when I watched ep 1-3. Too bad the scriptwriter and director tone down the romance element so much that I’ve started to lose hopes lol. Hope ep 9 proves me wrong

    Twitter fans research outfits of bonus postcards/pin-up

    This is unisex fashion

    This is man fashion

    And this is definitely women fashion :awesome:

    I like regular edition cover and 7net bonus postcards more but 7net don't ship internationally so i will buy special edition from Amazon JP. At least it have 3 special pin-up :cry2:

    I wanna that green/white/pink thing she has on.
    It's like a Keyaki/Sakura explosion

    I'm glad DZ is doing well, wouldn't mind another season right after this one... hopefully not in 15years lol (but I won't mind that too if Techi comes back[hehe])

    I can't really ship Kaede and Akira. Seto is like the bad copy of Yusuke, only less interesting. At the start of the serie he looked like a badass who wouldn't be bent no matter what. I would have loved if writers took that route and made him harder and angrier, yet more fragile inside. SetoKaede like this wuold have made more sense to me.

    On the other hand, the actor playing Kenta is quite interesting. I'm impressed.

    Regarding what Techi will do next, joking around on twitter we said it would be great if Kaede gets Todai, and Techi gets the Olympics opening lol but I guess is way too early for that. I truly believe we had a big chance with Keyaki, but right now only Nogi or SakamichiUnited can bring us there. Techi is gaining popularity outside the idol bubble I presume, but still... she's not there yet.
    So.. a single would be good.
    Or a movie.

    Or better yet, rest.
    Fan life would be so much more easy if she gets some days of rest between projects.

    The Fable is finally released today :banana: In every single interview that the cast had they all mention Techi’s scene in the jungle. That got me so curious on how she performed for them to be that excited. Some fans and critics got to join previous screenings and all gave very positive reviews. I hope he movie becomes a big hit

    9B994A06-A64B-405A-8D06-B14DF2E83842.jpeg F3F7CBA0-8FDA-4427-A60D-674E3F79AD21.jpeg 065D5429-14A1-4655-BD31-1946C09A64AF.jpeg 3B1341A3-8462-4BE7-B79A-376133BB8A13.jpeg 766BF67B-FF5F-4792-8391-5234CC09CFC8.jpeg 6BF7CCB5-1DA3-4B20-AF27-A9F704FA653C.jpeg 4D178389-A7FB-471C-AA1C-BFBE3D8C2859.jpeg AE253BE6-4A06-400A-8244-20E1981013D5.jpeg

    What else, Fumino-san confirmed that TECHI HAS ABS!!! Needless to say how the fandom react lmao. Techi may be thin but she is also very fit. I’m also happy that Techi and Fumino-san are on good terms, good enough for her to touch Techi’s abs [hehe]

    ———-
    @Dill agree that they didn’t do well with Akira’s character development, he had so much potential. Still liked him more than Yusuke though as he only has his eyes for Kaede. The Mizuno - Yusuke - Yoshino put me off so much. Kenta’s the MVP, his performance was very convincing.

    There’re tons of photos and Techi looks absolutely gorgeous from every angle. The news media took an overwhelming number of Techi photos lol. The cast was really kind to Techi as well, you can tell they adore her and think highly of her talent, hard work and personality. Also for those who curious, her outfit was from Off White. Techi with suit is never a miss.

    Fable 2 also ranked 1st in last weekend box office. In 3 days they gathered 215k tickets and made ~300k yen. Fable 1 made 1.77B yen in total and they expect Fable 2 to exceed it.

    I also checked the reviews in cinema and review sites, the majority are happy with the level of action and the cast. Fans of the ori series who were dubious of Techi at first (understandable as Hinako and Techi seem very far apart) were convinced by Techi’s acting

    3BF117BD-5573-4F9D-82A2-15CA6516F902.jpeg B18CC439-5F17-4F6F-9605-9F70ACB97566.jpeg 51AA107C-ADB8-4777-8814-83FCD8882DCA.jpeg ECC029B8-0EF8-4654-AE88-D44425B0D5DB.jpeg E6C4990D-ABFF-4AFA-8A3E-15012270EF21.jpeg C3B8F0D7-A2A7-4B49-AD65-132F44DCD837.jpeg

    Another great news is DZ2 ep 9 rating is 15.4%, 0.8p increased from ep 8. Next week will be the final ep with 15min extra. I seriously thought DZ2 only have 9 eps in total lol

    E1 14.8%
    E2 13.9%
    E3 12.6%
    E4 14.3%
    E5 13.8%

    Next week will be busy lol. I can’t believe Techi’s 20th birthday is already right around the corner. Vietnamese fans will be running ads for Techi birthday on Instagram story (Vietnam and Japan) from 6/24-25. It’d be great if everyone can help spread this around

    Happy 20th birthday to Techi :ome:
    Honestly after becoming a fan of my Kpop idol, I never expected to call myself a fan of anyone else. But here I am proudly claiming myself as a Techi oshi. Because Techi deserves all the love in this world. Because this girl makes me resonate with her performance, intrigued by her unique thoughts and lifestyle, and can’t help but want to support her on her chosen path. Because she’s the girl named Hirate Yurina

    Age is simply a number for Techi, but I still hope that with more and more life experiences, Techi would eventually become more at ease with herself, like herself even if only a little more. This is probably my biggest wish. Her well-being will always matter the most.

    Apart from the wonderful fanarts and videos that Techi oshis everywhere made for her, Indonesian fans have adopted 2 orangutans (Taymur and Jelapat) on behalf of Techi. Please let everyone know about this kind act

    WeStillSubbing also released their trans for Techi’s short interview and QnA. They’re very interesting and I recommend everyone to give them a shot

    Happy 20th birthday to Techi! :ome:

    It's been wonderful to see her grow into the extraordinary woman she is today. I still remember when her first Hustle Press shoot was released and I couldn't stop thinking "she's going to be a star one day!" And now she's covering the top fashion magazines in the country and booking big dramas and films~

    I'd like to stop repeating myself year after year so I'd just say I hope she'll always live her own life, without compromises nor regrets.

    And with that, the ratings for the last episode soared to above 20%!

    I know it has a lot to do with people anticipating Gakki's appearance (first drama appearance since her marriage announcement iirc?) and the other OGs, but still it's awesome news! Hope a lot of those old Dragon Zakura fans who tuned in saw those new stars and begin gaining an interest in them too :)

    i saw the last episode yesterday, it is a pity that yama-p did not appear physically but in a 'voice' mode...is it because he was formerly from J.E plus his former employers added some pressure to TV stations not to let him appearing in shows.. #imo

    I’m so happy that the drama ended on a high note. There were doubts but now I think people are genuinely happy with this sequel. I think the student cast are all very promising and it’s interesting to see how they’ll evolve in the future. Here’s the full rating:

    E1 14.8%
    E2 13.9%
    E3 12.6%
    E4 14.3%
    E5 13.8%
    E6 14.0%
    E7 14 4%
    E8 14.6%
    E9 15.4%
    Ep 10: 20.4% (I think it’s also the highest rating for both series)

    The Fable also ranked 1st in box office for 2 consecutive weeks :1st:. 2021 seems like a great year for Techi so far

    Then on Techi’s birthday, Somegoro-kun aka Techi’s luckiest fanboy posted a two-shot with her on his insta. Fans quickly found out that the photo was taken at Some-kun’s house since he did a house tour on TV before and the wall is exactly the same. They’re so cute :blush:
    EB5257E6-0DC0-46DF-A403-F6203238FC50.jpeg

    Modelpress conducted an interview with Techi and Fable’s director Eguchi Kan. Good talk, Techi really respects him and he regards Techi very highly as well. Techi auditioned for Hinako, and after the director saw and talked to her, he immediately chose Techi for the role.

    (Whoever styled Techi deserves a raise tbh)

    Then yesterday we got HIRATE YURINA X CHANEL. This could be one of the turning point in Techi’s fashion career. In commemorate for 100th anniversary of Chanel No.5, Chanel released a limited collection called Factory 5. Techi was invited to their pop-up store in Kyoto along with 5 other celebrities, including Chanel Beauty Ambassador Nozomi Iijima. Techi was gorgeous in Chanel clothes and was the only one to have photos taken by Chanel. No one really knows the reason for this but we do know that Chanel has Techi on their radar

    I don't mind waiting for subs since I don't have so much time to watch stuff, but that means I'll be talking about Dragon Zakura 2 still when everyone else will have moved on already lol
    Sorry about that.

    I just watched episode 8 and at this point I wish they went deeper in exploring Nao and Kaede friendship/dynamics. I saw Nao as a follower since the start but this episode shown she has the guts to "invade" Kaede space to help her. I liked that, but at the same time I wish to see more clashing and making up after.

    Also... and completely random... the guy in this epsisode working in the local the kids went to study IS Bad Boys' Sata, right? AKBingo MC?
    Beacuse if it's not him it's his twin for sure lol

    Hmm I don’t remember seeing anyone looking like Sata, but I haven’t watched ep 8 in details yet so I can’t say for sure. I really like Nao and Kaede’ dynamics, actually I like the whole class lol. More clashing would drive some interesting turns but I think they simply didn’t have enough time

    Anyways we’ve officially entered the Techi drought once again, as expected lmao. Thankfully Fumino-san gave us these cute 2-shots. Techi really be gaining love from everyone she starred with

    We also have some cute photos from SOL. It’s the 2nd time we saw her in this purple suit. No complaint from me as Techi looks really cute and soft here
    6441631F-EB7E-4E9D-B50E-BD189AA92DFA.jpeg 8993355C-F73B-42FD-9F0B-015C862FD527.jpeg 2A877306-73B3-4B3A-ACE7-D8A359DA7F5A.jpeg B59CC4A8-7DD9-4D40-8137-538EA5729F6F.jpeg B32EF629-B7B0-460F-A17C-09F5441FEA1F.jpeg

    Then this morning Bunshun released yet another “story” about Techi. I really should have seen this coming. Basically it said how Techi was this rude impolite child that “hates adults” but has become less edgy because Keiko and Junichi “changed” her. To my surprised though all the top comments defended Techi and stated the fact that Bunshun is the actual bully here trying to spread false rumors about Techi. Very happy about the reactions, Techi’s appearance on shows and movies must have done wonders for Techi’s image. Slowly the GP is realizing that Techi’s just a pure girl that wants to deliver top-quality works, and there’s a reasons why her staffs and costars care for her so much

    Some interesting news today.
    Looks like we are getting a new Techi single soon.
    It's been announced that she'll make an appearance at FNS on the 14th.

    Moreover some interesting footage has popped up.

    Looks like it is part of the 9th single MV (2nd version?) that went nowhere. Judging by the looks of it, could have some sort of sequel to Mou mori?
    Turns out Joker Techi rumor was not a joke after all :lol:

    A very valid theory is this Joker MV is the actual 9th. Then something happened in between and they mmg decided to scrape it off and made 10gatsu the title. Who knows what happened other than SnF and the members tbh. We just know that there’s much more to the 9th single fiasco than we ever expected. I still want to watch the MV in full though. Mou Mori is one of my top Keyaki songs so a continuation of that intrigues me so much.

    Anyways we may never see the full MV or know the whole truth. So it’s better to look at the moment, which is Techi’s performance on FNS

    I can’t even describe how excited I am. I also love the title although we don’t know what it’s about yet lol. Please please please a CD this time

    The official title is: Irreplaceable World (Kakegae no Nai Sekai)
