NCT Life In Osaka : (Episode 3) Osaka Castle Full Of Cherry Blossoms

I am back with NCT Life In Osaka Episode 3. I try my best to write and finish the last piece of episode 1 as Episode 4 already start airing. *sigh*

And oh, as I write this, NCT just releases their new mini album, Cherry Bomb on Taeil's Birthday. I think you guys know the date. I  listen to all of their songs, and I like them all. As for their title track, Cherry Bomb, I like it but I hate it.  I don’t know actually. I like Cherry Bomb but too much going on in the song. It's like four different songs mashed into one. It reminds me to  SNSD’s I Got A Boy. I like it but I hate it at the same time. I like some parts and hate some. Same as Cherry Bomb.

As for IGAB its really fun to sing it along. Remember the 2013 Dream Concert. It was like every fandom sang it and even out sang SNSD. For Cherry Bomb, it is a good song but I don’t know if public love it. I mean they are rookie group. They have to attract public interest to stay at the top. Well, they are not at the top yet, but come on. We cannot depend on fandom now. Cherry Bomb, I like it but I don’t know. The members seem proud if this song. Like they are proud of it and work hard for it. I mean the innocent Mark really-really enjoy this song, so. 

Nevertheless, the dance is on point. I like it a lot. That part when after the duo, Taeil and Doyoung’s part and Mark start rapping, I think it’s the breakdance, I like that very much. I have nothing to say actually. But overall, the album is great. I think its worth to buy it. I am broke, so I’ll just listen on youtube while admiring their visuals. Oh, whiplash is good but, I’m gonna just listen without understanding it.

Alright, back to NCT Life.

Next destination. They are going to park to see cherry blossoms. In the car, Yuta the tour guide is checking his big note again. Win Win offers him sweets. Yuta keeps asking him why.

Win Win : You doing well.

Are you sure Win Win? It is not because Yuta is your manito? What crack me up is when You Are My Destiny is playing as BGM. Captions “~Yuta Tour is full of love~”.

Taeyong talks about ride a bike in Japan is a romance. Is that Henry? It is cute to see Taeyong being shy and flutter. That blush editing makes him more cute. I cannot. I kept replaying this scene.

Doyoung : Then let me ride a couple bike with Taeyong. *Doyoung is crashing the sweet dream of Taeyong. *

Taeyong : Never. That will never happen. (Shaking his head)

Oh, Doyoung is rejected thrice already.

Doyoung : Hyung, I will ride in front and you can hug me.

Taeyong : I’ll just get off the bike and walk. ( So cold!)

They are such a cuties. Again I kept replaying this scene because once or 5^th times is not enough to see them have a cute little fight. Could be Taeyong is Doyoung’s manito though? There the You Are My Destiny is playing again. ~Yuta Tour is full of love 2^nd~. Sad shot of Taeil “Why is no one taking care of me?”. Poor Taeil. This noona will take a good care of you, Taeil.

They arrived at Osaka Castle. This actually the 1^st time I heard about this place. I would like to go to Japan to watch Cherry Blossom in this place because it looks really beautiful and pretty.

Doyoung : I really, really, really want to see cherry blossoms. *Are you have to repeat “really” that much, Doyoung?*

Oh..the Good Thing song is playing. I read the translations of this song and fan’s comments about this song. I have no comment. Win Win is excited and singing. Everyone is out from the car. Why Taeyong brings his backpack when everyone else are not? Well, Yuta is understandable because he is Yuta Guide and have to carry a lot of things like his big schedule note and some other things. Never mind.

Yuta : Everyone, this is Osaka Castle. How is it? It ‘s nice, right? * point the dull view.*

While everyone say wow,

Doyoung : I think we have to go inside to see it.

How much I love Doyoung for his straightforwardness. Poor Yuta. There’s not actually much to see but don’t we love the other members’ reactions too? Like Win Win keeps saying “It’s pretty”. Or because this his 1^st time step out from their dorm and the 1^st time relaxing outside the dorm? They are busy idols. Keep traveling from country to country performing. You guys work hard.

Also I just watched SNSD 2012 Hectic Schedule video the other day in Twitter. I don’t remember whose account. But wow, they literally travel a lot, and it was not a vacation. They had concert, events, interviews..etc. I have no idea how they managed it.

Back to Osaka Castle. Yuta is determined to show them cherry blossom. Wait. Cherry? Cherry Bomb!! Okay, I talk nonsense.

Win Win : I think it’s really nice to come to Japan in this season. To see the full cherry blossoms. * I would like to go to Japan when the cherry blossoms too, Win Win.*

Doyoung : Hyung, is there no place that is really dull with cherry blossoms?

Here we go again with Doyoung’s fierce talk. Poor Yuta. Taeyong the sweet boy as usual tries his best to comfort Yuta. But, Doyoung is,

“Up until now, this still look similar with Seoul forest.”

Someone please stop Doyoung. Doyoung is funny and not afraid of anything. He also good in talking. I think its better if we have someone like Doyoung in a group. Someone who is realistic. Like my older sister or my cousin. Oh, I hate them both.

Oh wait, they found a  rare cherry blossom tree. Oh.. I love Paradise song. They decided to take a pictures around that one tree. Doyoung is on the stealing guide position mission. Yuta will never let that happen.

Yuta : The smell is nice. *And go smell the cherry blossom.*

Doyoung : I don’t smell anything though.

Yuta :  Ah, right. *Embarassed*

Still, the cherry blossom is really pretty. Doyoung takes picture of Taeil and tells him to pose like someone who just got dumped. Taeyong laugh over what Doyoung said. Oh, the bickering couple is taking picture together. After taking pictures, they finally enter the Osaka Castle and start jumping like a rabbit. Cute!

Doyoung : Oh, it’s really pretty here.

Well, well Doyoung. Finally you say something sweet. All of them go wow~ Is that Taeil or Taeyong who say wow really loud? The grandpa duo~. Lots of cherry blossom inside Osaka Castle. Wow. How it happens? Like outside, it’s really dull but inside it’s really pretty. Okay, now I really wanna go there.

Doyoung is interviewing Yuta about his childhood. As Yuta talks about how he is used to come here with his dad and had soccer practice as well running, a group of students running past them. Suprised them.

Taeyong : Yuta!!

Then there Yuta goes. Run along with the students. The staffs are laughing. Its so funny and cute. Taeil is joining them. These kids. Their song, Angel, is playing. I love that song. It’s really nice watching them freely enjoy their walk and happy. As Taeyong’s say that it is nice to go out. They start to run and jump like a hyper kid. It is cute.

They found a snack shop. They decide to buy Osaka Castle’s specialty green tea ice cream and also decide who is paying by play a game. The Scissors Rock Paper (SRP) is back. Remember the NCT Life in Chiang Mai, when they decide their room by playing bottle. They started with deciding the order of playing bottle by SRP. At the end they played SRP again to decide their room arrangement. It was so funny.

Back to NCT. The loser will pay. And yup, our leader lost. He throws rock alone when everyone else throw paper. Poor leader.  He is going to pay for the ice cream. The other jump and scream excitedly.

~We will eat well Leader-nim~

Yuta : Pick the most expensive one.

Typical Yuta. Everyone want special selection green tea, the most expensive one. Well, not their money but Taeyong’s. Yuta takes charge on ordering and found out that shop don’t accept card. I mean it just small shop, why you expect they gonna accept card? And are they really walk around or travelling without any cash?

Taeyong dumbfounded face. He is ready to pay the ice cream. Yuta comes out with a plan. Showing aegyo to the PD. That might works. Throw back to  some episode where Taeyong threw aegyo whenever come to food. Mostly they fell for it. And there he goes. Jump to the PD with his aegyo.

Taeyeong : PD-nim ~~~

So cute. I am honestly already fall for it. So do the male PD. But the PD not gonna soft this time. He tells them to do aegyo to female staff. The most tough PD female comes out and  Taeil modestly showing his aegyo.

Taeil : PD-nim ~please buy it for us.

But the tough PD not give any reaction. So they decide Yuta and Taeil do it together.

Yuta and Taeil : PD-nim! Pelase buy for us, bbuing buing~ *in super cute face*

Facepalm. The tough  PD still not gives any reaction. Still serious. So, all of them decide to do it altogether.

NCT : PD-nim! Pelase buy for us, bbuing buing~ *In super cute face with cute actions and everything cute. Doyoung even gives non-stop heart sign. Everything for ice cream, right.*

The tough PD finally smiles and gives them money. I know. Who actually can handle their cuteness and Doyoung’s never end heart attack? So the boys get their special green tea ice cream. Looks yummy! They take pictures holding ice cream with Osaka Castle as background. Look good, boys.

On the way out, they run like there’s no tomorrow. They enjoy the beautiful park and take pictures. After that, they have a short nap under warm sunshine. Or is probably just a mimic.

Taeyeong  :~good morning~. Cute!

They sit in the park like having a picnic. It looks nice. They’ll do 3 lines poem. Oh, I am gonna love this a lot. Yuta asks Win Win if he knows what the 3 lines poem is. Win Win says yes but he’s showing the tongue twister game instead. I don’t think you know it, pretty boy! Oh Win Win has a flower in his ear. So pretty!! For the winner of the 3 lines poem, they’ll get Osaka Castle’s souvenir.

Win Win spots a bug near him and starts to freak out surprise the other. Taeil then,  just like picks the bug with his bare hand. Oh, Taeil!! And You are my destiny plays again. ~Yuta Tour is full of love 3rd~.

First word is OSAKA. 10 minutes to think. Yuta starts counting and praise Win Win by saying him pretty. Real smooth Yuta. Win Win is indeed pretty.

Taeyeong challenges 1^st .

Coming to (O)saka.

There are lot of (sa)kura.

There are many clouds in the sky~

The staffs and Yuta give him good reaction, while Doyoung is like, what? The last part doesn’t not make sense, though.  Taeyong is proud with his 3 lines poem.

Yuta : Wait, what? Kaneul- e (in the ksy)? (He just realized what Taeyong said)

Doyoung scolds him for praise Taeyong when Taeyong’s last part doesn’t not make sense. Yuta-guide is lost his focus. Anyway, Taeil wants to give it a try.

Looking at the cherry blossom in Osaka

I felt love (Sarang- Sa)

(Ka)KaKeKe 

What Taeil? Everything was perfect and he ruined it with his kakakeke!! But of course the staffs being sporting staff by scream, wah!!

Doyoung : I’ll pay for your part-time job later. Thank you. *To the staffs for the great reactions.*

It is time for smart Doyoung, the public broadcast MC.

Only for us,

A good relationship with..

Curry rice?

Everything is off. What with that a good relationship with curry rice? The staffs also think the same and say , Booo!! 

Doyoung : This is a biased judgement!! * Doyoung is funny*.

On the other hand, some one is worry. Win Win is still thinking of what to say.

Win Win: *that usual Chinese kungfu music as BGM*

We came to Osaka,

There’s so many lovable things

There are lots of cameras as well…

Oh, good job Win Win. The members and staffs give a good reaction. Taeyong keeps saying Win Win did a good job. This leader always praise his members. Yuta notes that Win Win is the best. Okay, Win Wins’ boyfriend. I know you gonna say that about your boyfriend.

Move forward to 2^nd word. Cherry Blossom Tree ( beotkkotnamu), 4- line poem. Oh I know namu is tree. All of them say it is hard. Taeyong challenges right away.  An enthusiast boy.

When I take a look at the cherry blossom tree

A flower like me is there,

*Make a cute sign, Moon Taeil is shocked, Doyoung is questioning his life*

Doyoung  : *Can’t take Taeyong’s cheesiness anymore* Ridiculous. And that how aegyo master’s ridiculous 3 lines poem form.

When I take a look at the cherry blossom tree

A flower like me is there,

Ridiculous.

That was really not makes sense. They laugh over aegyo master’s ridiculous 3 lines poem. Taeyong challenges Doyoung next.

But I don’t tell you.

*Alright, it is in English. Interesting! Everyone is shocked but kinda anticipate too*

Taeil : Oh My God. * Facepalm.*

Doyoung :

B-U-T, you know? *Doyoung explains in English. Being Mark’s hardcore fan is a big help I guess.*

The flower among flower,

It’s me.

Don’t push yourself. I’m 1^st anyway.

The members go, oh~, but the PD said it was so-so. Poor Doyoung. The PD likes to tease him. Okay Taeil challenges the 4 lines poem.

This place where the cherry blossom petals are falling.

There are flower like people

You guys who are sitting next to me

Are amazing.

Wow, Taeil, that was heart-fluttering. Next player is the Chinese boy, Win Win.

Many cherry blossom trees are blooming

The scent of the flower is really nice

Going out and seeing the flower

Limitless is playing.

Haha, I love limitless. Looks like Win Win poems are really strong. The members acknowledge it. Next is 5 lines poem. It’s Takoyaki this time. Everyone say that this is hard but Yuta says that this easy. Backfired, young men!! They just realize that Yuta not doing the 3, 4 lines poems yet. Well, he is the game planner. But anyway, Yuta can’t get away from make his  own 3 lines poem too. So, Yuta challenges the 5 lines poem Takayoki.

Did you eat takoyaki? *Oh, Yuta is different!*

There’s something on your nose.. *Doyoung : Pfft..yah)*

Hey! Should I wipe it for you?

I will give you a kiss..

Oh my Yuta!! I am cringing right now. Goosebumps!! Even the members feel it and go arghhhh!!! Nightmare!! Oh wait, Win Win is enjoying Yuta’s poem and clapping furiously. The members though think that Yuta did well even ya, it’s a little bit creepy??? Hahaha. They say that the poem shows Yuta’s true color. I guess Yuta is kinda of romanticist guy. Since Yuta did well, they challenge him to do 3 lines poem, Osaka.

Taeyong : You’re going to say “oppa is here again” Right?

That was exactly happen. Yuta actually gonna say that line.

Taeyong : He did it! He did it! *They know Yuta well.*

Yuta :

Oppa is here, guys.

Doyoung: Shall we date??

Taeyong : The crows are coming. *I guess the crows wanna hear Yuta’s oppa poem too*

Instead of say “shall we date” like Doyoung’s predict, Yuta goes with “I love you”.

And continue it with “In front of the camera.. I will kiss you” and lays in embarassement. Win Win claps furiously again. This guy likes Yuta’s cheesy poems.

Oppa is here, guys.

I love you

In front of the camera.. I will kiss you.

Yuta’s cheesy poem. Since Yuta keeps saying about kiss, why not give him kiss time??

Yuta : Ah, I learn this from Mark. This. *Crawls forward and kisses the camera. Not the lense though.*

Throwback to NCT Life in Chiangmai when Mark kissed the camera.

Back to the game. Who is the winner? Everyone say that they want the present especially Doyoung. Then why curry rice ah Doyoung?

Yuta Wise Word.

The outcome is more important than working hard.

What?? Working hard is important to get a good outcome, Yuta! Anyway, the winner of the 3 lines poem is Win Win according to Yuta’s analysis. Win Win get Osaka Castle Snowball. It’s really pretty. I want one.

Yuta : Win Win, you like it? It won’t end up in the trash bin after a week, right??

Yuta is funny. I remember he actually made the same remark to Taeyong a while ago when Taeyong got   Polaroid camera as a present.

Win Win : I’ll put it beside my bed.

Yuta is proud. He says that he prepared another present for them but they have to wait.

The end of Episode 3.

This was a cute episode. I love seeing them have fun. The members and staffs relationship is cute. I guess work together for like a year or more helps a lot.
