Lost...Confused...No one to blame...Everything has changed

Lost on the way, no one to blame, no one to say,
nothing to do with the way everything's changed

Lost, I feel a little like, a child who's lost, a little like,
(everything's changed) a lot, I didn't like all ofthe pain,

I'm confused, a lot of it, is hard to take, and cause of it,
everything's changed I thought I'd make it through the pain
everything's changed

nothing is plain
nothing can be explained, nothing...

Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO - live action)

2005-10-09T12:46:00.000+08:00

A Japanese drama series about a certian Eikichi Onizuka, and his mission to become the greatest teacher in Japan. Eikichi's educational background (he never graduated from a good college) along with his gangster-like personality, has caused his fellow teachers to think of him not only as an unfit teacher, but also as a menace to society. Throughout the series he will face many challenges and consequences for his particular methods of teaching, but he solves these problems remarkably well through unorthodox methods. One of his greatest challenges however, will be to get the respect of all his students and fellow teachers as they are the ones he values the most, just like any great teacher would.

Definitely one of the better J-Dramas out there. Although this particular series was produced in the late 90's (1998++), it's still very interesting and enjoyable. However, I recommend this series for people of ages 16 and above only. Some graphic scenes (although very minimal) may not be suitable for younger audiences. The series consists of 12 hour long episodes, a special episode, and a movie. All in all, this series packs more energy and emotions than it's anime counterpart (GTO-anime version). Cheers for the GTO series! :)

Never Give Up

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live

Your hand that I held...

Will we lose it someday?
I want to protect you and that disappearing smile
The ringing voice that calls me dries out
Even if it gets erased by the wind along time
I will find you

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning
So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize

Like a rusted person

It felt so hollow to just pile atop one another
You said you could live on your own
Just with the usual kind words
You ache to a point where I cannot reach you

Your hand that I held searched for some simple kindness
Do you remember
By learning pain, you can become a person who can be kind to others
Drive your Life

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning
So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize

How can I see the meaning of life
Disappearing, you're the only. . .

So you will not break, you distance yourself from me
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Now it's by and by, even if you cannot see, there's a meaning to everything
Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live

You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . your different Life?
You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . though, we cannot return

Like in times of warped memories, we can understand someday

A world of possibilities

Crossing the deep blue world to meet

The wind goes through

The white wings sway softly as they fly down.

I want to wrap you up thoroughly, my dearest

I should have the power to protect the one I love in both my arms (Open your mind)

Open your heart (I've always dreamt it)

Let my wishes blow far in the wind (Open your mind)

I have invisible wings (See, you have them, too)

I can go to the place of freedom

Yes, anyone can

When the wind starts up, I shall start walking

Because I am not afraid anymore.

Beyond the wind-torn vlouds in a sky overflowing with light

Can you see something beyond this traight road?

Always breathe in and feel the smell of the wind

The boundless blue world

The small wings breathe deeply

So I can take off into the sky

To the future, a fresh tomorrow

This is the key (Open your mind)

Open your heart (I've always dreamt it)

Let my wishes blow far in the wind (Open your mind)

I have invisible wings (See, you have them, too)

I can go to the place of freedom

Open the door (any kind of doors)

I'll always be at your side (Open your mind)

Spread the invisible wings (See, run before the wind)

The time to take off is coming

Yes, for anyone The sky is blue...
