Just finished watching the latest (and supposedly final) TV movie specials of Furuhata Ninzaburo. There were 3 movies, all of which aired around New Year's. Furuhata Ninzaburo was a very popular detective series which aired for 3 seasons in the mid to late 90's. Even after the series ended, it still remained on the air in recent years via a series of movie-specials. The character, Detective-Inspector Furuhata (played by Masakazu Tamura), has become an iconic figure in dorama, much like Columbo. In fact, the series patterns itself after the Columbo series. Each episode and movie-special has a well known guest star who commits a murder early on in the program; the rest of the show is about how Furuhata is able to solve the seemingly perfectly executed crime. Like Columbo, the character of Furuhata is disarming, funny, idiosyncratic, and always more clever than the criminal. The series was written by Koki Mitani, a marvelous screenwriter/director of both dorama and theatrical films. One of the interesting twists of these final 3 movie specials is that the special guest star of the second one is baseball superstar Ichiro Suzuki, who plays himself (and yes, he does commit murder). Ichiro actually does a decent job of acting, much better than those pop idols who seem to litter dorama nowadays. There is a precedent for a guest star playing himself in this series: One of the other specials from a few years ago had all of the members of SMAP playing themselves (and yes, they too, were murderers). The third and final special had Nanako Matsushima playing twin sisters. If you liked the Columbo series, you will probably like watching Furuhata Ninzaburo. Both are intelligent, engrossing, and imaginative.

Kurosagi #8 :good:
watched the first ep of Egao no Hosoku. fell asleep halfway through...i'll watch the rest 2night.

I'm planning to watch "Shiroi Kage" after I finished season 6 of CSI.

Well, I recently finished watching Tokyo Love Story.
It's very good. It was so sad though. I do think it is one of the best trendy dramas. I love Oda Yuji and Suzuki Honami, so I'm planning to watch other dramas starring these two people.


I'm currently watching 'Unfair' starring Shinohara Ryoko and Eita. Shinohara Ryoko is very charming, as she was in 'anego.' I'm also watching Kou Kou Kyoshi (Highschool Teacher) 1993 version. I love Sanada Hiroyuki and Sakurai Sachiko. It's a very dark drama, but I still like it. Nojima Shinji's a genius.

not sure what to watch next....still deciding :bonk:

Finished Beautiful Life eps 1&2 - excellent start

Final episode of Moto Kare out on J-tv. :hehe:

They try to finish whatever they start. For consistency sakes.

i think they also realized that somebody had soft subbed it rather quickly so it became a non-priority project.

That too. I remember renting the tapes from the video store as they were released simply because of Rina.

that's what i was bracing myself for actually and also the reason why i selected that drama to watch during midterm week - was hoping i'd get to the sad part so i'd end up like :shamefulcry: and stop watching to go study

but so far, its nothing like that yet :doh: - just dunno when the ball will drop... :sweat:
