Im guessing it must be.

Someone trying on a new name perhaps?

OT: Starting Lunch No Joou after trying several series I just couldnt get into.
I always enjoy Takeuchi Yuko. :D

Yup. Low brow, slap stick, ridiculously childish humor. And each episode is pretty much the same as the last.

This show delights in poking fun at all the cliches of TV detective fiction, and all the conventions of Japanese dramas.

Old and sour as I am I probably shouldn't find this show as funny as I do. But I've seen 6 episodes so far, and it makes me laugh every freakin' time.

Finishing up ep 3 of Lunch No Joou.

Really enjoying this one....

I love it when it is all about food! :metaldevil:

Top Sales, Episode 2. :victory:

I'm finding the linking of the chronological story with events in Japanese history to be quite fascinating... And Natsukawa Yui is her usual feisty, yet vulnerable self. :victory:

I just hope we got it right :sweat: It was very hard to work out what they were going on about sometimes :banghead:

Good luck job hunting! :fingerscrossed:

On topic: Ep 8 of Lunchtime Queen.

Saw ep. 11 of Akai Ito. Overall I liked the story, though I feel the show should have been more eps to properly explain some things. The acting wasn't great but I'll definitely be looking for Minamisawa Nao's next project.

Love Shuffle 9 - the most uneventful episode so far - for me at least.

I've just finished Ame to Yume no Ato ni. It gets better as it goes along, the initial standalone supernatural stories didn't really work, but once the main arc started things improved no end. Sentimental without ever being mawkish and it ended on the perfect note. Sawamura Ikki and especially the young Kurokawa Tomoka where excellent as the father and daughter respectively.

... I agree with everything you say and still found this drama and its 100% not taking itself seriously oddly refreshing enough that I'm actually looking forward to the second season.

On topic: just watched the first episode of the second season of Shomuni today. I think I might watch the second one while I'm at it. I'd missed those Shomuni girls and their wacky hijinks. :woot:

Cool another Shomuni fan!! :woot: All 3 Shomuni's were great, but I think Shomuni 2 is probably the best of the bunch, enjoy! :applaud: [/list:u]

Catching up on watching Aibou 5 episodes. Watched up to episode 12 and gonna watch more later today.

And another one here, I've been watching the first series irregularly during the last couple of months, it's just the sort of thing to cheer you up after a bad day at work. The interactions between Esumi Makiko and Toda Naho are great.

Shomuni is a blast. I'll have to check out season two as well it appears.

Ep 9 of Lunch No Joou. Glad Im finishing up.

Spoiler — click to reveal

Honestly though, Yuko portaying an ex gang leader is a bit farfetched for me. :sweat:
