more likely i was :sleeping: :hehe:

i must admit tho, Koyuki played her role quite well

i agree and admitted to as much in my review of the dorama...but the overall presence of the show....weak and baffling....it's definitely obvious it's a shoujo manga dramatization...when i was in japan i remember talking to this girl who said it was a really popular manga...

woof woof...!, think of the beat up Momo in the cardboard box... :beaten:

now that was weak and baffling....

think the title of the manga is a different title name than Kimi wa petto :say_yes:

It's called "Tramps Like Us." I actually own that manga. :rofl: :hehe:

far from redeeming the corporate effort, i agree with shindou...it's odd and ill suited....classical music where the protagonist is a spineless dork.....unbecoming...

The notable exception being the use of "The Imperial March" as Jinkama's theme in "Densha Otoko". I know this piece is also a soundtrack but it does carry the structure of typical classical music.

somehow, i cannot find the connect between the two different titles..., interesting... :headscratch:
yeah, i've seen the manga at Kinokuniya... :say_yes:

Just finished "Kimi wa Petto". The plot is unusal and the drama, on the whole, quite entertaining. I own a pet (dog) so there are finer points about canine behaviour that I can relate to.

More surprising to me is that Sakai Wakana (Fukushima) acted out her character quite well - previously I didn't think gravure models can actually act.

One minor point piqued my interest - in one scene Momo just finished a drink (disposable carton) and was throwing away the trash. As he was putting the empty carton into the trash bin he sub-conciously pulled out the drinking straw and throw it into another bin. It seems he was separating recyclable and non- trash. Told you a bit about Japanese culture, doesn't it?

yeah, i do recall, seperate bins, that were label...with something, next to the common Vending machines......gosh i miss those vending machines...
and i just happen to pick and buy the Sakai Wakana figurine, only from Japan...it was on sale at this one anime-figurine shop for 3000 yen....one of a kind i tell you.

Soudesu. Are you into collectables, or just Sakai Wakana?

that i agree with, moreover the tongue in cheek joke is great in that the music comes from a SciFi movie.

well, both kinda..interests in anime figurines, anime, gravure/j-idols

not really into Sakai, just thought the rare Sakai figurine would be interesting to have, but I do collect Anime Figurines, i have a glass cabinet full of them, and a closet too.

:bonk:

hehe, u should go to toronto where there are grey bins for newspapers and paper products, green bins for organic waste, blue recycle bins for cans/bottles and the like and of course, last of all, garbage :hehe:

In HK the government also had this trash-segregation thing going. We have blue for paper products, yellow for metallic items, and brown for plastics. However it is a bit half-assed and I don't think many people care enough to do it.

In China it's a bit simpler - recyclables, non-recyclables, and toxics. However there is little indication of which type of trash belongs to which category, so even less people cared.

not sure which one to watch next...
Teru Teru, Busu, subs are out, and Gal Circle subs for ep5 out soon... :thumbsup:

just finish watching RONDO

Attention Please #5 :thumbsup:
Yagyu Jubei Nanaban Shoubu #5 :thumbsup:

i have finally started watching H2...this is a wonderful coming of age story....it's a great gakuen dorama that doesn't resort to the tired, hackneyed contrivance of illicit teacher-student relationships or other similar device.

satomi ishihara is great and i feel this role lets her shine as an actress much more so than nurse aoi......which they should have called nurse warui cuz it was not a good dorama....
