Girl from Nowhere

 

"Girl from Nowhere" is a 16+ Thai TV Series that got its own spot on Netflix, with 2 seasons released as we speak. The series was made by the studio SOUR Bangkok, with the talented Thai actress Chicha "Kitty" Amatayakul playing the lead role as a girl named Nanno. The first season was out on GMM 25, a digital Thai TV channel, the 8th of August 2018. Its disturbing thriller elements and mystery anthology has made it incredibly popular, fans spreading all over the world like fireflies, with their own thoughts and theories on what happens... the fact that this story is based on true news reports from Thailand makes it even more disturbing.

What is Girl from Nowhere about?

Nanno is a 16-year-old high school girl who keeps transferring schools after being done with the previous one. That is not all though. You see, Nanno is not just an ordinary girl. She looks and acts like a completely normal human being, but she has the power to draw out the filthy evil from humans. Everbody has some sort of darkness in them, and that darkness is what Nanno wants to reveal to everyone. Nanno makes people reveal their true self, whether it is through persuasion, trickery or something else? We don't know how she does it, but she does it: A real bizarre mystery.

What exactly is Nanno?

This is the thing that I have seen people on the internet speculating about the most, by far. What is Nanno? Some people say Nanno is a demon or the Devil, some say she is a ghost. Kitty, Nanno's actress, made a comment in an interview that Nanno is not a ghost, but she is not really human either. She is like the daughter of Satan or the snake from the garden of Eden who comes to Earth to give the forbidde fruit to humans.

Will there be a Season 3?

It is very unsure at the moment, considering the 2nd season was released this spring, so there are no real information regarding a potential season 3. Fans are begging for more already though, so who knows?

Sounds interesting? If yes, head over to Netflix to watch the entire thing; I sure recommend it for all the thriller fans out there! But I must warn the audience, just like Netflix does at the beginning of each episode, this series is 16+ rated due to topics of murder, suicide, violence and sexual elements appearing in Girl from Nowhere. Only watch if you know you can handle it.

My general rating of Girl from Nowhere: 7/10!

80's J-Pop: Miki Matsubara

Album cover for Miki Matsubara's "Stay With Me". Miki Matsubara , or Suzie Matsubara [as she also went by], was a composer, lyricist and singer from Japan. She was known for her 80's J-Pop love songs, but really became famous after her debut single, " Stay With Me ", was released in November 1979. I'm sure many of you have heard this song, and I'm a fan of this talented woman myself, thus I decided to write about her. Early Life Miki Matsubara was born 28th of November 1959 in Osaka ( Kishiwada ), Japan. She grew up with a father, mother and younger sister in Hiraoka Town . Miki quickly became familiar with jazz music, as her mother was a jazz singer. She started playing piano at an outstandingly young age of 3 and simply embraced music in general, not only jazz but also rock. She went to ordinary schools her whole childhood and was praised as being a great and hardworking student who would enroll into university, but Miki had already dreams of beco...

The Black-Haired Woman: Chiyuki

For this Character of the Week , I chose my favourite female protagonist ever. However, there will be heavy spoilers in this one, so beware if you have not seen the anime Death Parade yet! Her name in the anime is never revealed until the very end, and she has black hair with a tiny white strand on the right side, so she has always been known as The Black-Haired Woman (or, in Japanese, 黒髪の女 [Kurokami no Onna]). To fans, she is sometimes referred to as Onna , which means "woman" in Japanese. Her real name is Chiyuki , though her surname is unknown. The series followed Decim , the main character and the bartender of Quindecim , but the way Decim judges souls changes completely and the story makes a turn when the mysterious woman shows up at the bar. As she has no idea how or why she came there, she became Decim´s assistant at the bar and started helping him with the lost souls that comes frequently to the place, just like the black-haired woman. When you die, you arriv...
