hey any 1 live in the west coast/ LA area? Sundys at 9 on channel 18 we get "stairway to heaven" subbed and everything its gonna be starting soon, has any 1 here been watching it? its pretty bad ass

oh and right after that and 10 on channel 44 we get "life with dad" that's ok to watch.. lots'o hot chicks, especialy Fukada Kyoko she's sooooo beautiful... and she's as old as me ....(hmmmmmm maybe if go to japan i might get with.............nah!)

U know u makes me feel a little envious to not be living in the LA area or Hawaii for that matter. If only we have some of those channel here in the Central Valley Areas that will be so great. We do have plenty of multi ethnic community here as well.

central valley? where ya at? ....well there's always the International channel i think..... oh and i wish i lived in hawaii 2........ you should move to LA we got hollywood and all the chicks walk around in their bikis heh...... gottago stairway to heaven is about to start here

i LOOOOOOOVEEEEEE sundays and saturdays they're dorama nights*

yes i live in la.. n ive been watching channel 18 n 44 for a while now, infact ive been recording 'life with dad' ever since it started, but im sorry i found 'stairway to heaven' really boring. yes there are some interesting scenes though but they're too many slow scenes. the only thing i like about that was the ending theme by hiro called eternal place.. but i do watch that every sunday

n about girls walking in their bikinis.. well that doesnt happen everyday, unless you're @ a certain place.. that i know.. dont get ur hopes up though, hollywood isnt all that, compared to hawaii heheh

JDorama's info about "Stairway To Heaven" : Stairway To Heaven

Who watches this show that was on KSCI Channel 18 from 9:00 - 10:00 PM on Sundays, which ended two weeks ago? I loved this, the acting is great.

However, I have a question. At the last episode, we see a shot of Akiko going into an office where Enari was. Is she remarrying him, and she's not gonna go with Kashiwagi to Efue?

Thanks!
_________________

Akiko was free, after Kashiwagi bought her back from Enari, Akiko was free to live her own life, the story said she will live in Efue to start over, Kashiwagi won't marry her, according to his agreement with Enari and his own personal decision.

The ending was pretty good, The scene of his son's wedding, his daughter finally accepting the fact, then going along with them, finally having a peaceful life and family. I think he gave whatever left of his company to his son, being true to his word that he would take care of his friend's supposed son(which is actually his own son). It was a happy ending in my own opinion.

BUT, there was also a shot where he was walking down along the beach
remembering all these things, I think he was true to his word(If you remember when he was talking to his son, he said he would die, but he's son begged him not to), I think he was already dead at that moment, he was laughing and playing in the water alone, finally having happiness and reaching the end of the Stairway To Heaven.

Note: The young Kashiwagi, I think is now the actor of 'Musashi'? Am I Right?

i really liked the ending, i kinda didnt get the beach part, after i read what u said (think he's already dead at that time) made me sad.. but how did he die? i regret for not continuing to record them im so stupid heheh but yeh very touching

about musashi, i have no idea that was him.. i have to watch and look at him properly

iposted about this drama like twice..and got no replys...
but i didn't get the endiign either....but beign dead sound soooo sad!!!

and he kinda does look like the musashi guy

The last part of the ending as Kenchii walks along the beach can be interpet in many ways. The flash backs of all the happy and joyous events that he have after episodes of painful nightmares of his evil past. He laughs probably because he knows that he finally reach heaven after climbing the stairs of pain, sorrow, and sin.

Thanks for replying.

Nah, IMO he didn't die. He had resolved too much to commit suicude now, especially after Motohashi in a way finally forgave him in that one scene.

I think he just went back to Efue and remembered it all.
