you should see her in her scenes with sorimachi takashi in over time - it was quite good

i still needa dl that drama :puppydog: :puppydog:

I'm new here (so be gentle with me!)

I am 5 episodes into GTO, and I am finding it to be superb, gripping viewing.
But something is really bothering me: who is on the huge poster in Ms. Fuyutsuki's house?
I know I recognize the guy, but I just cannot think of his name.

Can anyone help a poor little newbie?

*grasps for sympathy!*

:fingerscrossed:

Krim, having looked at Takenouchi Yutaka's profile here, I can see that you are right. I must admit to not being familiar with the name, but I must've seen a picture before.

Thank you so much for your help. I can rest now. :say_thanx:

Thanks again for explanation. I'd never heard this term before. :say_oops:

Oops...I have another question. :shamefulcry:

I notice Nanako keeps calling Onizuka "Onichi". What is "Onichi"? Some kind of familiar contraction of the name Onizuka?


Thanks to anyone who can help!

I loved the jdorama GTO but havenft read the manga or seen the anime. I actually havenft seen a lot of anime other than Miyazaki movies. I might give this one a try though just to see how it compares to the jdorama.

Trust me, you'll find the manga to be hilarious :victory:
I have all 25 vol. of GTO and now collecting GTO the early years.
No regret spending money on these manga :mrgreen:

The anime is good, but I love the drama more then the anime.
The anime is fairly close to the manga, but the ending was...... :sweat:

I always thought Nanako was combining the last name Onizuka with the first name EikiChi

K.T. Tran - thank you so much for this - it sounds right! I can't believe this hadn't occurred to me already! D'oh. :dancing:

sesil - Why do the subtitles make it funnier? :headscratch:

I find the subtitles can be hard to catch, as they can move so quickly. Also, the ones I have have an American bias, (like calling "Autumn" the "Fall"), but I don't really mind that. :)

Apparently that's a bit of an in-joke: Takenouchi Yutaka is apparently considered an acting/singing (or whatever) contemporary/rival of Sorimachi-san. You know that Nanako Matsushima and Sorimachi are married IRL, right?

I did know that Nanako Matsushima and Sorimachi were married in real life.

I didn't know about the rivalry between Takenouchi and Sorimachi, though.

It appears to me that Sorimachi is the most successful of the two men - would this be right?

I am also wasn't aware that there was a rivalry between Yutaka Takenouchi and Takashi Sorimachi, and they have worked together in Beach Boys and Toshiie to Matsu....... :sweat:

oh really
lol i found it kinda ironic tho that the 2 people in love in the drama ended up getting together IRL, damn and she's mighty cute too IMO :3

anyway i <3ed the anime to death (watched it like 50x over and over never got tired of it i liked it that much definately top 5, prolly even top like 2 on my list that's how much i liked this anime yet, i love the story of this even better and i like the ending, makes me feel better with that ending than the anime did, and matsushima was cute :P
