A synopsis of "KISARAZU CATS EYE" from TBS TV :
"Storyline"
Kohei Tabuchi (Junichi Okada), known as Bussan, is a 21 year old former high school baseball player. He works everyday at the barber shop owned by his father, Kohei (Fumiyo Kohinata). One day, he is told he is terminally ill with cancer and has at the most 6 months to live. Not wanting to die with any regrets, he decides live as he likes and forms a gang of thieves called "The Cats."
Futoshi Nakagomi a.k.a. Bunby (Sho Sakurai), Sasaki a.k.a. Ani (Takashi Tsukamoto), Okabayashi a.k.a. Master (Ryuta Satoh) and Uchiyama a.k.a. Uchi (Masanori Okada) were all in the same baseball team during high school and still play together on the weekends for the "Kisarazu Cats." Their target is their former baseball coach Nekoda a.k.a. Toraneko (Sadao Abe). They enlist the help of Nekoda's girlfriend, Mohko (Wakana Sakai) and ultimately succeed. They go out to celebrate and Kohei tells his friends that he is dying.
However his friends don't react much, telling him not to talk of such things. But in reality they are grappling with the concept of the death of a friend which has left a mark on each of them. Meanwhile, their original target, Nekoda, while also coming to terms with Kohei's announcement, begins nightly secretly maneuvers..

Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllyyyyy the type of drama that i watch and i did have watched it!
comically fun yet interesting and has a bit of sad part here and there.
i also like iwgp even though it is a dark story.from a different perspective, both are different from other doramas, right? |

Sorry I dug this thread out from its resting place, but I had to say something because this is one of my favorite dramas ever. (hey, I bought the $150 DVD set...that HAS to say something!  )
Kisarazu is definitely NOT dark. It's the total opposite. Yes, it's true that the story seems dark with just a glance, but Kisarazu is so much more complex than that. It's pure comedy with its touching parts. At one point you're laughing your head off and the next second you're using up a whole box of tissues to muffle your sobbing.
It's truly a shame how underated this drama is. I must admit that it might not match the taste of everyone (it's just too dang crazy and unconventional) but those who like it LOVE it. Kisarazu is definitely for those who are jaded with all the other standard and cliched dramas out there. I also think it has one of THE BEST endings in Japanese drama history. (I absolutely hate those dramas that start off good and have totally sucky endings!)
I'm very happy that Kisarazu did leave its mark on Japanese viewers because they just made a movie for it. I'm gonna go see it next week and I'm really looking forward to it. Hisashiburi da nyah~!! |

| i watched it.. and i liked it.. but i dont love it as much as eien bussan does.. well, to each his own views.. i loved gokusen, and not everyone loves it too.. i like kisarazu because of bambi, but i've always thought okada with more serious roles would be better.. like in renai hensachi.. |

I would absolutely love to translate Kisarazu if it means more people will be able to enjoy it, but I'm totally clueless about how people subtitle and upload dramas... I think a lot of the jokes would be lost in translation, but I think it would be SO cool if someone managed to do its justice.
Ani and Mastaa were on Tokyo Friend Park tonight to promote the movie. Tsukamoto Takashi (Ani) is really eye candy, but it was Sato Ryuta (Mastaa) that did all the winning for them. I was surprised how athletic he was!  |

I watched the drama just last week, and i really like the way they file the show, ie rewinding and such. but the story is too crazy for me and i didn't really understand the point of the drama.
Only complain was that I didn't get to watch esp 4. there was something wrong with the disk I was watching.
Ah, I like Ani! HE is soooo cute, esp the way he kept asking others about his name!!
... my last statement is not spoliers is it? |

I just finished watching it and I must say it's pretty good even though it's twisted and complicating like hell , but it's worth watching it. How do you say it.. ermm, even though it's a comedy but it's sad at the same time.  |

I got to see it about a week ago and it was dang funny and even crazier than the drama (yes, it's possible!). I was kind of disappointed that the movie didn't have as much depth as the drama, but it was all great brainless fun. Kisarazu Cat's really IS all about drugs (KudoKan must have been smokin SOMETHING while he penned the story! lol), sex, and yassai mossai! 
But seriously, it was probably the quickest 2 hours of my life. I didn't even realize that the movie was that long....all the rewinding on the big screen kinda gave me a headache though...haha |
