I receive a request from Gally_gr01 from france to post the opening song of the drama Mas here and so i thought i can do a brief intro about the manga and drama.
Mars a Japanese manga series by Fuyumi Soryo was serialized in Bessatsu Friend from 1996 to 2000 and the series spans 15 tankubon volumes.
The story is about Kira Aso (麻生 キラ - heroine) and Rei Kashino (樫野 零 - hero) meet when Rei asks Kira for directions to a local hospital one day in the park, but instead of telling him the directions she draws him a map and hands it to him without saying a word. On the back of the directions is a picture Kira drew of a mother and child. On the first day of school they are both surprised to find that they are in the same class.In school Kira was sexually harrassed by a teacher and Rei came to her rescue. He also offers to "lend Kira his body" and she asks him to model for her.They began to grow fond of each other but each of them had a secret past that needed to be addressed and overcome before they could accept and love one another freely
The series was adapted into a 21 episode Taiwanese television drama in 2004, titled 战神 - MARS.
Starring: Vic Zhou as Rei Kashino, renamed as Chen Ling and Barbie Hsu as Kira Aso, renamed as Han Qi Luo.
Mar as a manga is a classic - heart wrenching and depressing. One of my favourite manga as well and sure i was thrilled when i know it's going to made into a live action drama however i wasn't too thrill when Barbie Hsu is the female lead. =P I'm not a fan of Barbie Hsu and not to mention, she's the female lead for Hana Yori Dango (Taiwan Version) too! Vic Zhou's Rui in Hana Yori Dango (Taiwan Version).
This is for you Gally_gr01. ^^ The one opening theme - "零" (lit. "Zero") by Alan Kuo.
Mars - Ling (Zero)
Lyrics and English Translation:
从来不相信我的世界可以有多完美 - Never believed how perfect my world could be
痛苦 寂寞 还有一些疲惫 - Pain, loneliness, and also a bit beaten
不允许找人随意 - Prohibited from finding people as one wishes
进入我的零度空间 - Entering my zero degree space
宁愿 孤独 懒的再去想谁 - Would rather be lonely, too lazy to think about who
俩个人一起是否只是得到一种安慰 - Is a kind of comfort received when two people are together?
挣脱 过去 然后忘记一切 - Struggling and then forgetting everything
没想过有天我的结局忽然全部改变 - Never thought that one day my ending would actually all change
谁会 抓住 我的无力双臂 - Who would grab my powerless pair of arms
怎么 会哭 - What’s the reason for crying
(谁错谁对 为谁抱歉)- (Who’s right, who’s wrong, feeling sorry for who)
不会 再哭 - Won’t cry again
(谁错谁对 为谁憔悴)- (Who’s right, who’s wrong, distressed for who)
走入零度空间 等到一切分裂 - Entering zero degree space, waiting until everything is broken
就算爱的危险 我们一起面对 - Even love’s dangers, we’ll face it together
来不及的防备 没听过的誓言 - It’s too late to defend, a promise never heard
要我怎么学会 多了爱的明天 - How do you want me to learn, a tomorrow with more love
走出零度空间 终于一切分裂 - Exiting zero degree space, everything;s finally broken
就算爱的很累 我却不会后悔 - Even if tired from loving, I won’t regret it
放下所有防备 一切都无所谓 - Putting down all defenses, everything doesn’t matter
逃出黑暗世界 开始新的明天 - Escaping the dark world, starting a new tomorrow
新的 明天 - A new world
(新ㄉ 世界)
I personally perfers this MTV.
