Synopsis
Kitajima Shinnosuke, a cowboy from Arizona, is sent to Japan to find a girl by the name of Imoko.

Being easily distracted, Shinnosuke finds himself learning the ways of Japan, while spinning his own web among those he comes to contact with.

Yeap, it's a funny and interesting drama, Todo Erika acts quite nice~

2. Horrendous plot but funny as hell [Rating: 9/10]
-1 point for the cliche/horrendous plot but if you miss this drama because of that, you are really missing something. This show is hilarious. Wacky and quirky all the way thru.

+1 to the person who said the Indian guy was funny...he was.

3. Idea was good but only for one episode [Rating: 3/10]
It just got worse and worse and the acting was just terrible. Fujiki Naohito definitely downgraded himself after this drama. Some people probably gave high ratings to this drama because some of their favorite cute actresses made it enjoying for them. Thought it be interesting at first, but failed miserably.

5. 2nd Fujiki Naohito drama... [Rating: 10/10]
Ive seen. but the first drama ive seen him last is in GTO Live Action as a cop and friend of Onizuka (Takashi Sorimachi). the reason ive watch this drama is only for Erika Toda. but then i realize he is the lead role here. i dont know about his past dramas after GTO but for me he did a good job portraying his cowboy role. hahaha. SHINNOSUKE?!!!! lol. and most of all the plot is good. for those are saying it is BAD. please grow up guys. this is the same ingredient GTO has. not to mention the girls cast are all kawaii and has talent. Erika Toda, Suzuki Emi, Iwasa Mayuko, Aragaki Yui etc. not like the boys from Gokusen 2 thats has no talent. blah (no offense but it is the truth). Samuel Samaniego of Quezon City, Philippines.

7. How does one review this show? [Rating: 7/10]
Stupid? Yes...But funny? Hell yes. Well, thats not completely true, as the girls' stories tended to bore the help out of me.It was like they left all the creativity in the hands of the whole "cowboy and indians" plot (whether a story about a japanese cowboy in the centre of tokyo is a sign of creativity or not is also worthy of debate). But this drama has its moments, and they lie solely with naohito's cowboy, geronimo the indian (don't know why he's called geronimo, probably best not to know), and ryuuta's police officer character. A lot of people were talking of the cute girls in this drama, and to an extent this true, but some of them look seriously unwell - almost anorexic, especially emi suzuki and erika toda. Anyway, the plot is ridiculous, but the drama satisfies, suprising i must admit, even just due to naohito's woeful attempts at english ("shitttt!.." and "whaat?"). Hahah...ahhh, good times.

8. Seriously...? [Rating: 6/10]
This show was dumb. It didnft really have a plot and it had a very weak storyline (the search for Imoko) that broke apart way too often. Each episode was exactly the same in structure to the previous episode, only starring a different Para-Para girl. Although the girls were believable, it was hard to sympathize with them. And why, someone please tell me, was Fujiki Naohito thinking?!

There were a few funny moments, but overall this drama was just a waste of time. I didnft hate it, but I didnft find it amusing either. I think it caters to tween girls (I hope teens have more sense) and fanboys. If you donft fit either category, drop this drama and move on.

Probably the lamest dorama/comedy I've ever seen. In its incredible stupidity it fails to elicit any laughter or emotion. The acting is horrible and the characters are not worthy of sympathy or praise on any level. An unworkable disaster devoid of plot or promise. An embarassment for Erika Toda, really. I couldn' t finish this dorama.

This drama is ridiculously full of funny things... One thing that everyone will notice that this drama has many cute girl casts... Even though so, this drama actually has great and important messages for everyone about life... at least it seems so...

Despite the same old themes of freindship etc, it is pretty doggone funny for the 1st ep.
10. Comments by natzumi [Rating: 7/10]
Funny! I like that girl from Nobuta. I'm so surprised that she can act so well. This is the second time that I seen her act, first time being Nobuta wo produce. Never knew she acts so well. Her acting really moves me to tears in those eps where she's so sad.

Actually, I continue to watch this one because I didn't know what the heck is this drama about. I like the cow boy because he likes to speak in English dramatically. I enjoy the humor. I found this one really interesting as I don't know what it is about. So I watch eps after eps due to curosity. I was hoping to understand what the heck I was watching and that's how I managed to watch each and very episode. It was fun.

Unique drama, weak plot, weak cast. It had it's moments, yes, but the actors/actresses that were cast in order to bring in viewer ratings gave poor performances, much less than what we know they're capable of.
12. Comments by CdMe [Rating: 9/10]
i like it really much due to the exaggerated comedy of the characters (especially the cowboy + bar owner). Saki has some nice attitude problems 2 ;)

14. Comments by rikastar [Rating: 8/10]
It's easy to love or hate this, and I'm on the side that really enjoyed it. It's fantastically absurd and awesomely funny. I don't know why it has to be believable. I'm so amused by Shinnosuke, he's so different from Fujiki's real personality or the other characters he's played. Geronimo is hilarious! Toda Erika and Aragaki Yui were my favourite girls but all of them were pretty likeable. Nice Saturday night entertainment.

17. Comments by onigiriman [Rating: 7/10]
Although pretty corny, each episode had a relevant life lesson. Fujiki's role as a Japan-born, America-raised cowboy was irksome: Typical stereoptying and bad English. But Geronimo was a riot. His sarcasm and imitation of Shibuya gal-speak were just too funny.
Shinnosuke: "Something very strange happened." (ep. 10)
Geronimo: "What? Did the statue of Shibuya's faithful dog, Hachiko, turn into a chihuahua?"

heya gyarusa! it's really a dorama which is worth to be seen! <3
it's so humorous and i enjoy the story so much <3
Naohito fujiki is really fun there and of course the Angel Hearts! >D
haha the theme song makes me always in a good mood *_*
hmm but you should really see this! *Q*

why it got just 9 points? because at the beginninig the series war very ..nah...i found that the series were the same anyhow because there was always a gal member with a problem and shinnosuke saved her story oO;;;
okay that was the only point which relieved a bit tension. ^^"

I didn't see this drama because of the idols, I saw it because of the ganguros. This drama is SUPPOSED to be ridicolous. And it's HILARIOUS! the fighting scene in epi 9 -sucked- and komachi's (epi 9) typical jpnese drama woman voice makes me sick but otherwise, this drama is really FUNNY, and everyone should see this ! Para Para, Gals, Shibuya, Cowboys, Indians = the best ! and Momo is really cute ! You will have many great laughs with Innosuke and Geronimo!

Brainless and quite ridiculous but I still watch each week. This drama works at allowing my brain to rest without actually working to digest any information it may be imparting to me. Great for at the end of a stressful work day and you don't need any heavy drama plots to further drain your brain cells.

Not available with English subtitles here in Bangkok. I am really upset since he is one of my favourite actors. Naohito is super talented.versatile, suave,really cool, ooze's sex appeal without really trying, superlative in all his roles. Whatever he is in his character is never repetitive -- all in all , he is an actor's actor. His alluring smile can melt any woman's heart , not the least is his mesmerising and tantalising eyes. In the handsomenest stakes he is over the strastosphere. Finally got to watch the fabulous Naohito. ( Gal Circle )

I liked this show. They needed to dance more. Each plot is understandable to a 5 year old but it shows what the human nature is and how we abuse it. Good drama, simple plots. (Fall 06)

A japanese cowboy from Arizona ends up in a group of lost para para girls in Shibuya. Everyone should understand that this is not a top notch quality drama but it's not pretending to be anything else but a simple lighthearted comedy either. It follows the same concept as for example GTO, an extreme character shows up & help some lost youngsters. It's ok entertainment.

What a lovely dorama!
And wat else can we ask??? Beautiful actress such as Yaguchi Mari (former Morning Musume member), Toda Erika (main role... u~huuu!!!!), Aragaki Yui (in a much cooler role than the one she did in Dragonzakura), Suzuki Emi.....
And not to mention that this one have one of the most funny casting ever!!! Namase Katsuhisa (the legendary head-teacher from Gokusen), Furuta Shinta (any relation with Furuta Arata???), Sato Ryuta (IMO he's the japanese version for Jin Carrey.. LoL).

And Fujiki Naohito plays his role really WELL!! The foreign accent he does is marvelous!!! He's really funny in this dorama...


Gyarusa is really silly... no doubts 'bout that... But its the funniest dorama i've ever watched!!! I gave a 9 out of 10 only because of that UNREALISTIC part in the ending... But i must say i quite enjoyed the ending of this dorama...

Really worh a try if u r looking for some laughs....

Actually, the reason I watch this drama is because of Toda Erika and she did well in this one. Unique I must say.
From a simple search for this "IMOKO", Gyarusa certainly has an ending nobody could guess. : D
2. thuydiep
first episode was hilarious! i laughed so much.. but at the same time there were really serious moment in it too..
surely one drama i'm going to watch!
3. crazytigerfrog21
I really like Naohito, and the girls are very beatuiful too. The messages in each episode are really touching, and the outrageousness is defintiely something you dont' see in any drama
4. Impression15
Can't go wrong with comedy. Especially Japanese cowboys, indians, and naive beautiful gals.
5. gopro
At first by the looks of the 1st episode I thought this was going to be a craptasically fiasco like Ganbatte Ikimasshoi, but with each occuring episode it got better and better. It shows how humans arent appreciative of any of the basic neccessaties of life and are likely to ignore all basic principles. That is why I like this show.
8.5 for this show. Whenever the "Cowboy" would speak it would be soooo easy to understand, but when the "Gals" spoke It was a bit more difficult for me.

Who doesnt like gal ;P everyone in here, Toda Erika as main cast Saki, Aragaki Yui as the cool Nagisa-san, for hp fans Yaguchi Mari in here too as the overage, noisy but smart Yurika, and great model Suzuki Emi as their leader Remi. The cool guy Fujiki Naohito plays a strange cowboy character in here, and his scene with geronimo the indian was damn funny. its a fun drama to watch!
