Tu: you're such an inspiration. I'm going to write a novel in the fashion of "Orange Days". Only in the case the heroine is not deaf - she's so dumb she can only communicate using emoticons... :nut:

Tokyo Friends Episode 5......

Gah! Now I want to see the movie!

I'm a bigger Ai Otsuka fan than ever now.

Sleeping Forest ep 10

Just finished "Over Time". It's a credit to Kitagawa Eriko that a story with very little climax can be turned into such an absorbing drama, and 12 episodes at that.

as well as Cupid no Itazura, but the series is not being sub'd...so kinda hard to understand...but based off a manga, as more j-dramas thesedays are.

Hmmm... never heard of those dramas. Are they new? We're watching Sera Fuku to Kinanjuu. Also downloading Maki's Akane drama but will probably wait until the series is complete. We tend to devour the series in a a couple weeks. No time to watch one ep every week of more than one.

the ones that i mentioned, inaddition to sailor fuku to kikanjuu, which i highly recommend, also being subtitled....
are among the newly j-dramas for this season...

only a few of them are being subtitled, but unfortunately, Cupid no Itazura is not being sub'd, but based off a Manga, which I am curious about.

mayb bcoz it was an adult drama...well u know wat i mean.. :naughty:

Okay, i hope everybody makes a comment...

I've just finished watching Attack no.1
And my reaction when i reached episode 9 was, "WHATTTT??!!!? HONTOU????!!!"
it was so not expected and unpredictable... I mean, i always think that this dorama was another stereotype cliche teenage brat sport doramas... (still think it is)
Do you think the director was kinda brave? i mean...

Well the dorama itself wasn't really that good... You can easily predict the ending... it is so like Ace wo Nerae, with a bigger ball -_-"
Episode 9 is the only thing worth watching

currently watching fugou keiji deluxe......

This drama is a (sort of) re-make of "Sign wa Bui" (Our Sign is V) that was aired back in the 70's. They made the coach (Inokuma) a lot more prominent, but practically dropped all interaction between the team members (replaced by interaction between 'Fujimi' team members).

It was a long time since I watched "Sign wa Bui", and the only things I remembered of this drama was the 'shifting' strike by the heroine (Ayuhara in "Attack No. 1), the 'multi-hands feint' by 2 team members (the Yagizawa sisters in "Attack No. 1"), and the theme song 'Mayonaka no Guitaa'. Back in those days this dorama was big sensation.

IMHO "Attack No. 1" was inferior to "Sign wa Bui". The team spirit that was central to this dorama has been split up to create the twist - Ayuhara selected, kicked-out, and then re-selected. Ueto Aya was not mature enough as an actress, and thoroughly unconvincing as a star volleyball player with her match stick figure.

The rest of the team didn't look too well either - Sanjyou looked like Ayuhara's mum, and Kakinouchi looked liked her grandma; the other star player, Hayakawa, was a little plumb. Yagisawa and Yoshimura looked to me the most convincing players. The few extras in the team looked like they had been stuffing themselves with tonkatsu (fried pork chops) and french fries throughout the shooting of this drama.

All in all, I wasn't impressed. The only thing, more or less, I liked about "Attack No. 1" was the ending theme song by Ueto Aya, 'Yume no Chikara'.

Not unless the songs in it has to do with doramas, or at least movies.
