Summary + Review:
There are three golden rules for reviewing Nanbara Ken's dramas: 1. You NEVER talk about the plot, because there are BARELY ANY. 2. You NEVER count the H scenes, because there are COUNTLESS MANY. And, last but not the least, 3: You ALWAYS mention Midorikawa Hikaru, because he's casted in about 99.9% of all Nanbara Ken's dramas, and he ALWAYS play the brainless uke whose voice is as sweet as HONEY PUDDING. Now, with these rules in mind, let's look at Boku no Mono ni Narinasai [Please Become My Possession]: Ikeru Toko Made Ikouyo!
Despite Nanbara-sensei's dramas falling dangerously below my normal "Good Drama" evaluation, I still can't help but smile and be immensely entertained by them. Her stories are located somewhere in the "kawaii~~*heart*" category, so no matter how plotless they might be, they are forgiven XDD;;; (Please whack Ken for being so biased XD;;;;;). I have to say choosing Midorikawa as the all-time uke is a very smart choice, because a idiotic brainless uke played by Midorikawa somehow can become amazingly cute and naive and innocent and...(etc. xN). I also think that Nanbara-sensei has an extremely good nose for seiyuus, because ah well, who else has EVER casted Koyasu-sama as a normal, young, love-love high school student? XDDDDDDDDD
Character introduction. Basically, Oishi Chikara (Midorikawa) and Kira Kousuke (Koyasu Takehito) are madly in love. However, their families are strongly against their relationship, especially Chikara's cousin, Asano Takumi (Ishida Akira). Knowing Nanbara Ken though, family resistance is hardly any problem for the main couple, and the vocabulary ANGST is nonexistant anywhere XD--which is another thing I like about Nanbara Ken. Her stories are always the fairy-tale "Happily Ever After" ending, so it's very relaxing to listen to her dramas. The dialogue is also much easier to understand than other dramas. These kind of brainless happiness are good for after-final listening (Ken is sadly or maybe fortunately, still a student taking her exams XDD).
Come to this point, I HAVE to rant more about Koyasu. I almost want to call him "Koyasu-chan" in this series *ROFL* because he is just SO GODAMN CUUUUUTEEE!! In the first drama of the series, Koyasu still retained some of his deep voice. But by this third drama, he has already completely gotten into Kousuke's character (And that's the main reason why I'm reviewing the third but not the first in the series XD so I can rant all I like about his voice XDDDD) Koyasu's voice becomes younger, crisper, and MUCH sweeter in this drama XD I think his voice in "Ikeru Toko Made Ikouyo" is quite comparable to Midorikawa's voice...and I just can't resist *heart*-ing all over the place while listening to them because they are just such a meltingly cute couple...Kousuke is a very cheery character, and he always sound like he's smiling playfully whenever he talks (and he also ALWAYS sound like he's planning his next move on Chikara...despite his amazing cute-ness XDDDDD). Whenever Kousuke is exhibiting emotions other than happiness, though, he pouts in SUCH an irresistable way that Ken wants to hug him and eat him like cake XDDDDDDDDDD. The strange thing is despite that Koyasu-(chan XD) sounding SO UKEISH in this series (compared to his other voice-acting jobs), he makes a perfect seme...perhaps it's because he's paired with Midorikawa, or perhaps it's because there's barely any ukes in Koyasu's record, but Kira Kousuke gives me a feeling of an irresistably sweet person that sticks to you like cotton candy...no wonder Chikara can't do anything against him XDDDDDD
Just to get a feel of the drama, it starts out in the classic Nanbara-sensei way: H in bed XD;;;;; Kousuke throws one of his "Chikara is kawaii~~" tricks, and ties a ribbon to Chikara's *beep*. After some really nosebleeding Koyasu-making-some-sucking-noises-to-Midorikawa, the doorbell rings, and Kousuke leaves to get the door. Now have I said about a hundred times that Midorikawa is ALWAYS very brainless in Nanbara Ken's dramas? So not only can't Chikara untie the ribbon himself, but he made it even worse and gets trapped in the bedsheets XD; When Kousuke comes back and sees Chikara all tied up in bedsheets, he went: "Haa! Chikara kawaii!!" (But I still think Koyasu-chan is cuter XDDD) and starts saying how Chikara really looks like a mermaid...and starts wondering how cute a male mermaid's chest is...(Only Nanbara-sensei can think of dialogue like this *dies*). So it goes, Kousuke insists that Chikara be tied up in the bedsheets while H-ing (or else you won't look like a mermaid XD;;), and I can rant about how adorable Koyasu-sama's voice is for FOREVER, except nobody would probably want to listen to me XD;;;;;;;
Midorikawa is....Midorikawa XD although lots of people don't like his brainless uke voice, I love it very, VERY dearly, and I have to say that who ELSE other than Midorikawa can play this type of character without being annoying? Remember that Koyasu more than once said he likes Midorikawa's uke voice, and the Boku no Mono series is actually the first series Koyasu made seme for Midorikawa...and excuse me, but I feel that he really sound....MORE excited than in his other dramas? (Koyasu-seme in other dramas are always very quiet during H) Perhaps it's just to fit Kousuke's character...(and flame Ken if you wish).
Moving onto other seiyuus...I noticed that Ishida is still inescapeably paired with Morikawa ^^; Now don't get me wrong, because there's no romantic relationship between Takumi (Ishida) and Uesugi-sensei (Morikawa) whatsoever, but those two just click XD. Perhaps it's because after all, Ishida has worked with Morikawa for a N number of times, BL or non-BL. Whenever they voice-act together, you can just FEEL the synchronization. It is very pleasing to listen to them and experience the amazing skills that both seiyuus exhibit.
The rest of the drama is mainly about Chikara's kiss-mark, more of Kousuke's sugar-honey voice, school life with the rest of the gang, the theme of "Boku no Mono" series--swimming and mild CPR, and of course, more H. As I said, there isn't much of a plot, but everyone are just wonderfully loveable (and Ken is just being biased again XDD;;;). I also must appreciate the very well-done music in this series. The lighthearted, soothing music completely fits the mood of the drama, and provides quite a nice background for the overall mushy-ness between Chikara and Kousuke :D I always say good music can enhance the atmosphere of the drama, so a plus for Boku no Mono ni Narinasai's music! :D
Last but not the least, the freetalk (which is always a good topic for ranting). Morikawa-san hosted this freetalk, and Ken made quite an interesting observance on how Morimori calls everyone. (Morimori sounds really cute when he says "Furitalku-desu!" XDD) The first seiyuu he introduces is Takahashi-san, whom he calls by first name "Hiroki." While pronoucing his character's name (Tsukioka Shingo), Takahashi-san accidentally pronounced "Suki--" (Morimori laughs: exactly who did you like?) He sounds a little nervous and stumbled a few times ^^; but he says that he's very happy to be in this drama. The next is Yoshino-san (Morikawa calls him "Yoshino," this time by last name only), followed by Ishida-san (Who has worked with Morikawa quite many times...so he calls him directly by "Akira-kun"). Ishida doesn't seem to have a lot to say...so after blurting out a few useless things, he just ended with "otsukaresamadeshita!" ^^; Morikawa seems a little baffled by Ishida's fast conclusion...and Koyasu-san...(Morikawa intentially announced "Sore ja, omataseishimashita. Koyasu, Takehito-san--" as if introducing a very important character XD) who comes in with his KAWAII, YOUNG (even younger than Kousuke's voice @_@), SWEETLY POUTING voice (Ken melts over the extreme cuteness):
Koyasu: "Kira Kousuke yaku no, (Morikawa ROFLs at Koyasu's voice XDD) Koyasu Takehito-desu...[Voicing for Kira Kousuke, I am Koyasu Takehito] yada de itajyan~" (shyly protesting Morikawa's laugh XDDDDD he sounds like a kindergarden student XDDD SO KAWAII~~All the other seiyuus ROFL...Morikawa is saying "quit that" in the back)
Koyasu: (asserting himself more strongly, but winds up just pouting and being ever cuter XDD) "Mou YADA de...mou yada de ITAJYAAN!!" [I said STOP IT already!]
Koyasu-san says that his voice is influenced by his cold (I think that's what he said O_o), but fans seem to like his young voice (Ken ROFL...that's because you're just TOO CUTE). The conversation goes into Morikawa and HIS cute voice and Morikawa asserting that "boku no wa kawaii desu-yo" [mine is indeed very cute] XDDDDD and he imitated one of those young kawaii "Morikawa Toshiyuki-desu" (ROFL). After Koyasu comes "Hikaru-chan" (Ken O_o how affectionately Morikawa called him XD but he IS so adorable after all...playing the uke all the time XDDDDDDD), and last but not the least, Morikawa himself, ending the freetalk in a crowd of laughter and everyone trying to talk all at once (lol).
