And my favorite character, Jinkama-san, also did great. :mrgreen: :applaud:

i agree it was very fun to watch....i also enjoyed the special immensely.

Spoiler — click to reveal

They cut off Yamada's proposal in the ending. Do you think they will make another special for this drama? :bonk:

that's a good question....it does seem they left the possibility open, huh?

Okay, finished Tomoko to Tomoko. (1997) -- Thank you Eve!

I liked the show well enough, but mostly because it introduced me to
Misako Tanaka's work. She went directly onto my see anything she's in list. Originally I started downloading Brother Beat because it was hard subbed and because Ryoko from "Churasan" was in it, and I wanted to see her again. Now that I know about Misako Tanaka... I can't wait for the bugger to get finished. 2 more episodes to collect and I can start watching.

Two quick notes about "Tomoko to Tomoko". 1) Rates right up with "The Ring" for the worst background music in a TV series. And 2)Naoko Iijima must never be allowed to sing in a drama again. I love her, but really, she musn't be allowed to sing.


Re: series that we endorse, rave about, expect too much from.

See... I really liked Slow Dance. But I found Last Christmas to be something of a bore.

A show that I like infinitley more than Last Christmas is Medaka which was crushed in the ratings by Last Christmas. (Fortunately it found it's way to d-addicts and is finding a audience.)

My point? There are no official "good" shows. And star power only takes you so far.

It's all about what you like.

There are bad shows though...like anything with Tackey in it. :hehe:

Tu_triky

By "Taky" do you mean Takizawa Hideaki?

If so, then yeah, he's pretty bad and most of the things he's been in have sucked. But he was in News no Onna, and that's a good show.

i've yet to see that...but after seeing him in a couple of shows already i'm wary of seeing anything he stars in. :sweat:

yeah, i've got to agree with Geezer on that one, news no onna definitely quite a good dorama.

i've been having a great evening - finished eps 3 and 4 of Houkago which was quite engaging in the hana yori dango-sense :woot: can't wait til the 5th and final ep to come out on d-addicts.

also just finished ep 8 of sleeping forest, for anyone following that show - i'd suggest leaving ep 8 until ep 9 comes out otherwise you're gonna be left hanging :hehe: i can't wait to see ep 9 now

Agree with you on Tanaka Misako. She starred in an episode of Furuhata Ninzaburo (I think it was season 2) alongside Kohinata Fumiyo - much younger but just as good.

hey thtl since i know you love ueno juri i thought you might wanna see the film Josee the Tiger and the Fish.....she is a supporting actress in the film alongside Satomi Tsumabuki.....she's not the female lead but I figured you might wanna watch the film if you haven't already done so.

Thanks for the heads up. However I've already purchased the DVD and the OST. The ripped AVI of the film resides permanently on my hard disk. :mrgreen:

I do make a point of collecting all works of Ms. Ueno's. Unfortunately some of her older work, in which she only had a minor role, were either never released in DVD or were out of stock. Currently I'm debating (with myself) whether to acquire 'Engine'.

oh so you usually just watch most doramas but actually collect her stuff....i see, i see.

Is brother beat good?

Just finished 2nd episode of Akimahende... A bit funny but also a bit weird... Isn't it so lack of eyecandy? After watching this, i realize that densha otoko does have a lot of eyecandy...

So someone here hates tackey that much ha? hwakakak. dont really like the tackey&tsubasa thing either nor do i like their songs...

What new doramas have good OST? V6-utao-utao for tiger&dragon adn Yui's goodbye days are so good. Ueto Aya's songs always sounds cute too.

Think I saw Ayumi Hamasaki's name on a dorama movie called Grains of Sand? (forgot the title, the japanese title has the word 'sinbad' or something). Is the movie good? She really plays in it? Main cast or cameo?

Can't believe i have to wait for ages til i can get my hands on 1litre no namida and attention please

As I've finished Summer Snow today (I just love it :puppydog: )
I'm looking for sth new, so I'll start with Gokusen today. (Or shall choose Kimi wa Petto) Too bad I can't decide^^‹
