Title : The Little Fox's Hat (Jap: "Kogitsune no Bōshi" (子狐のぼうし) )

Air Time : August, 18 2008

Name Released : Sawarabi

Episode 7 after this one loooooong month (I feel like I have watched them after ages now)


This time, it started with a hat, looks girlish and supposed to be beautiful (I didn't see it to be one though). It was picked up by a little fox (kogitsune, he was called) who then treated the hat like its most important things.



Meanwhile, Natsume was having a study trip around that area. He was also running an errand for his relative whose house he stayed at.



On his way to the tea cups maker, he came across the little fox, being bullied by two youkais which looks similar to those in the earlier episode (I forgot which). 

They seemed to be in the different level though. And yea, Natsume played a hero and save the fox with his PUNCH! Smack! and the youkais back out. At this point, the cups were not ready and oh well there were still a few days.


The fake thing he referred to was Natsume's smile and behaviour towards others

Intrigued (Not sure) by its life-saver, the fox began to follow Natsume until the last day of the study trip. Natsume tried to outrun the fox but caught in the rain in the end. The fox gave a piece of huge leaf to cover him from the rain. Seeing this kind of perseverance, Natsume was soften and befriend the fox.



On the evening however, the fox was again encounter the bad guys while Natsume once again come to the rescue. And what a coincidence, a voice echoed calling out Natsume. It was a youkai with the form of tree called Sawarabi pleading for his name back.



Natsume without hesitation gave back the name and that thing was enough to repel the bad guys and made them scared. The fox wanted Natsume to take his name because he wanted to be useful to Natsume (Well, seems tough for the fox. He always called useless before). Contradictory to his mission, of course Natsume wouldn't take its name.

And that's the last day, Natsume's back home. The fox though was eager to know about Natsume's condition. While thinking about it, he met a new youkai (strange one with strange physical appearance) who tricked the fox into gathering a lot of fish. 



It's not a trick in the end. That youkai rewarded him with a medicine which enables the fox to assume human form for one day, and that way he can met Natsume. How? Because he can now use human transporation services!! Lol. He's not powerful enough to move across the region in my opinion.


After quite sometime, he finally reached the residence and saw that Natsume was surrounded by warmth of a family while the fox didn't expected to be so. With that, the fox feel at ease to see a cheerful Natsume and sad of being lonely once again. He ran away and tripped, the hat rolled and hit Natsume, who knew all along that the fox came. And..


Looks like Hikaru from Hikaru no Go. Haha

All goes well and Natsume walk the fox back to the forest



No serious physical conflict this time which make this one is a little boring. But still good.

Proposal Daisakusen (Operation Love)

Posted by green_butterfly




Genre : Romance
Episode : 11 + SP
Broadcast : 2007
Network : Fuji TV
Rating : 17.2 (Kansai), 17.3 (Kanto)

Iwase Ken (Yamashita Tomohisa) and Yoshida Rei (Masami Nagasawa) have been friends since primary school. Until they entered university, they were always together, with their friends also, Eri (Eikura Nana), Tsuru (Hamada Gaku), and Mikio (Hiraoka Yuta). So many memories thay made during high school. 

Ken fell in love with Rei for a long time ago, but he never express his feeling to her. Rei also loved Ken, but she chose to give up her love in her 20th birthday and chose to marry another man, Tada Tetsuya (Fujiki Naohito) who was their transferred teacher in high school. In the Rei's wedding, Ken regret why he never confess to Rei that he loved her and he want to come back to the past to confess his feelings. Suddenly, a fairy appeared and told Ken that he could go back to the past if he want. Ken was surprised and didn't believe it. But, he had to believe because it's his chance to get Rei back. 

After that, Ken went back to the past through the slide show which is shown in the Rei's wedding. But, every time he went back to the past, he is still couldn't confess his feeling.  He always looked for the right time to tell Rei, but because of that Tada-san confessed to her before Ken did. So sad for him..hoho..What he did is only changed his image and make Rei's happier with him around. 

But, in the end,  Ken confessed to Rei in the wedding (now, so sorry for Tada-san, haha..) that for 14 years he loved Rei, but he never said 'I like you' to her. When Ken said it, I think Rei reliazed that she still loved him and she cried. After the wedding, Tada-san intentionally and indirectly told her to go because he knew that Rei loved Ken (thanks to Tada-san, wkwk..).  

This is the end of the drama, but the ending was not known yet. I had to wait about 6 months to watch the ending, which is in Special episode, huhu..
But, luckyly for you, it's 2007 drama, so you can watch until the SP. I think most of you have watched this, but for you who haven't watched it, you MUST watch now..haha..
