I finish watching title RI KOURAN and HOTELIER...Good series but im trying to find the series of abarenbo mama which is currently on air in japan...

episode 4 of First Kiss

it's actually fun and not that boring after all. i guess i just love the casts

Going through Konshou, Tsuma ga Uwaki Shimasu and Galileo. The former because of recommendations from Geezer, the latter because I want to see if the OST is worth purchasing.

Sumimasen! I totally forgot to post my review for Enka no Joou, and there's no thread for it. So I'm gonna post it here for the select few who have been looking for it:

My Review: 7/10

I heard a lot of mixed reviews regarding Enka no Joou, so I wasnft sure what to expect when I started watching it. I was a bit indifferent after the first episode, but I was definitely hooked by the second.

Amami Yuki is a force to be reckoned with! Not only is she an amazing enka singer, but shefs a fabulously believable actresses. She gripped my attention and kept it within her grasp throughout her entire performance. I also enjoyed the characters of the supporting cast, especially Harada Taizo, who surprised me. Hefs not the stereotypical handsome lead male character, but he was charming and lovable in his own way.

The plot was entertaining and I loved certain aspects of it. I loved how Himawari traveled through life making friendships and healing lives, although within her own soul she was battling loneliness. I was a little disappointed with the ending, or specifically, with the last two episodes. They seemed set apart from the rest of the drama and were a bit too corny. Now, I like corn, but not when itfs so strong and misplaced.

This drama is a successful comedy, and despite the ending I found it enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone who likes enka, fun, and the very talented Amami Yuki-san!

Alrighty, now back to starting Churusen epi 1.

YAY! My favoUrite asadora!!! :woot: I suppose from a pure "drama" standpoint Honmamon is better, but Churasan is just so enjoyable. Ryoko's family is so great, from the semi-slacker father, the older brother and his get-rich-quick schemes (Goyaman!! :dancing: ) probably my favorite character though is the wonderful Oba that does the narrating as well, she is so full of life!!! Enjoy!!! [/list:u]

Sugoi! You and Ralph have really got me excited about this, Musa!

And I forgot to mention all the great characters at the boarding house when Ryoko moves to Tokyo. I dunno if you've seen Miho Kanno in anything yet, but she is excellent. :applaud:

This Asadora has a particularly strong cast of actresses. In addition to Ryoko Kuninaka as the lead, Tomi Taira as the grandma, and Miho Kanno whose performance stood out the most in my mind, the cast also included a pair of really good veteran actresses--Kimiko Yo and Keiko Toda.

A very warm, entertaining, and oftentimes hilarious series.

And eventually pay attention the excellent character intrpretation by Murata Takehiro who plays Shibata san. Then when you watch Natsu E Haru you will not believe the transformation of this lovable man to the strident nationalistic immovable father of the girls.

I think Honma Mon and Churasan have to stand side by side as the best asadoras ever. IMO it's impossible to put either above the other. The stories are so different except that both have the most lovable youthful female character leads as portrayed by Kuninaka Ryoko and Ikewaki Chizuru. I watch both asadoras at least once a year.
In fact in honor of Wyn chan starting Churasan I am rewatching it also but I'm nearly at the end again. Oh well, I can always start it all over.
:woot: :woot: :woot:

I'm on Episode 5 now of Churasan. To early to have an opinion, but I'm totally enjoying the interaction between the children. :victory:

Currently on episode 2 of Sushi Ouji and epi 1 of The Tales of Yamada Taro

I don't really understand the way of Sushi Ouji is..but Koichi is so damn funny as Maizu Tsukasa~~I can't believe he can act like that..far different from himself in Remote :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
