Hikari no Naka

At this rate we will reach 10K in no time :D
Edit: Just checking out ITSAY's comment section, it isn't even 5K? I thought since it is one of the top BL this year, it must have a lot of comments. Or maybe we are too chatty here? XD

Me too.. CM gives us the best Xmas present :)

Yes, I still can and the videos are still there. You need to use VPN though, I use North America, Europe also works.

Me too. Tried VPN Philippines and Thai location, but CM is not listed in the WeTV there. And I have VIP membership already. But some people seemed to be able to access it, I have no idea how.

You mean you use VPN Hongkong location to access WeTV Philippines or Thailand?

The spin-off eps will also be available on KKTV, WeTV and hmvod on 12/24! Thank you TV Tokyo! All the pleas and begging from international fans are finally heard of.
Now can someone tell me how can I access WeTV? VPN doesn't work..T_T

A very cute Akaso and Machida's photobook corner at a Japanese bookstore. I love those cute little decorations ^^

I would gladly take all the garbage like this lol. I bet they haven't watched it, I practically fell in love with this from Ep1. Haters will always hate :D

Same here! I usually avoid this kind of survival game story, but just because of Machida I braced myself to watch it..

Very interesting theory ^^ if that's true, the props team deserve an award. For such low-budget small late-night drama, their attention to details are amazing!

Huh? Where? Some may think it's not their cup of tea, but I've never seen anyone hating it, at least not in this comment section..

AIB seems to be doing very well, it's no 1 Netflix show in Japan and Top 10 in several other countries. As expected from Yamaken, the king of manga adaptation. It's good that Machida-kun also received such as wide exposure!

I hate to burst your bubble, but it's not (lol). It's an NHK program "Oyasumi Prince" with other actors as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if he can paint too \^^/

I just noticed that Machida actually has collaborated with so many Japanese A-list actors/actresses, Nakama Yukie, Tamaki Hiroshi, Yamazaki Kento, Nakamura Toru, Arimura Kasumi, to name a few. His company (LDH) has done a good job in getting him roles in those high-profile works, it's just a pity that most of them are supporting roles.

It's really freaking good and it screams high-quality production. Yamaken is amazing, but my weak heart can't take it anymore...T_T now I'm off to see fluffy CM to soothe my heart..

Sorry, it should be Joshi-teki instead, but here is the link:

Machida is really good, I couldn't see any trace of Kurabe in Kurosawa at all.

Thank you!!

Finally has the courage to watch AIB and not even passed 5 mins I'm already shocked LOL.
