I thought Koki Tanaka did a decent job....and Chiaki was great.....hmm...i think Koki Tanaka is prolly the best of the KAT-TUN actors right now....not saying much but that's the way it is.

I think the only other KAT-TUN member I've seen is the ugly anorexic (in Nobuta wo Produce), so out of the 2, I thought Koki did a better job in both roles I saw him in (other show I saw was My Boss, My Hero).
I also wrote a semi-review in the Tokkyuu thread a few days ago so I didn't clog up this thread with my thoughts. :)

You're referring to Kame...and he also had a guest appearance in Tokkyu Tanaka San Go...he was the kid who was the step son of Koki's character's mom who showed up at the dry cleaner's in episode 9...he gained so much weight tho from his Nobuta days...I didn't even recognize the fool.
It's wierd. This is a silly little fish out of water show that makes little or no sense... and I've loved every minute of it.
For starters, it stars Asano Atsuko and if anyone's gonna start throwing the word "brilliant' around, you start with Madam Asano.
To steal an old line from a football coach, Asano Atsuko might not be in a class all her own, but it sure as hell don't take long to call role in that class.
The show itself probably wouldn't stand alone without its cast of wonderful actors and actresses. I let out quite a few "Whats?" and "You can't do thats" and "this writer has to be drunks!" at the beginning. But after a while, I decided to forget about the parts that didn't make sense, and just go along for the ride.
Now, let me get this straight. A drunk writer took you along for a ride, you told him he can't do that, but you decided to forget about it because it didn't make sense. He was drunk because he couldn't stand alone without a cast. And you guys stole a line from a coach. But who's shin2? The coach or the driver?
I've got it straight now. I was reading up side down and in reverse and skipping every third word. I do that sometimes. It's good practice to keep the mind alert. The first time I tried it was when I was stopped for speeding and the cop made me read some traffic rules. He was so impressed, he asked for my autograph.

Bum Phillips talking about the great Earl Campbell.
(It's so sad to see the greatest power running back in NFL history now virtually crippled as a result of all the pounding he endured during his career)
As you pointed out, Geezer, the strength of Coach lies in its terrific cast, headed by Atsuko Asano, imo one of the two best lead actresses in dorama in the 90's.
And just think, Geezer, you can see another marvelous Asano performance when you decide to watch Good Mourning.

Yeah, but I have to hide that one from myself for a while, because unless you've got another Asano show tucked away, that's the only one I've got left. So I have to try to save it.
There were talks of a set of subs for 1987's "Papa wa Newcaster" over at d-addicts 6 months or so ago... but the girl who was gonna upload the show and do the subs seems to have gotten busy in the real world.
