This is LONG! Sumimasen :mrgreen:
Best Nakai Dorama/Movie
1. Suna no Utsuwa [Vessel of Sand]
An excellent mystery drama!! Nakai's BEST ACTING, so far!!!(along together with Shiroi Kage's Naoe-sensei) I've also read the book, but the drama is much better than the book!!^_^ Excellent musics too!
2. Shiroi Kage [White Shadow/Love & Life in The White]
Beautiful love story! Beautiful acting! Beautiful sceneries! Beautiful direction! Beautiful dialogues! Beautiful themesong and musics! Overall, this is a beautiful production^^ And, so far, Takeuchi Yuko is the BEST Actress to be paired with Nakai. They have great chemistry^^
3. GOOD NEWS
This is a very CUTE drama!! Nakai as STEP PAPA!!^o^ I really love this comedy drama! Nakai as a VERY CUTE papa!! I love it when Nakai wear the same colourful or teddy bear pajama as his 6-yr old stepson...heehee...so cute!! His chemistry with Mayu Tsuruta is good, too.
Best Kimura Dorama/Movie
1. HERO
Its purrrrfeect!!!!!!!!^o^ Though it took 5 times watching this, to acknowledge it's purrfect-ness =P I love how the prosecutors and the law clerks interact with each other THE MOST!!! It's just hillarious! Kimura's BEST ACTING, so far!!!
2. Nemureru Mori [A Sleeping Forest]
I really love Nozawa Hisashi's style of mystery story!! So, this one is a gem! The plots and scenes that looks like on their own...gradually connected to each other, and become a one whole story! Sugoi!! So, probably since I've fallen in love with Nozawa's mystery style...it's hard for me to understand the good of Kitagawa Eriko's mystery style... x) Gomen ne, Sorakara(Billion Stars) fans!!^^
3. GOOD LUCK !!
Love Shinkai and Captain Koda combi!!^^
Best Goro Dorama/Movie
1. Warai no Daigaku [University of Laughs]
Definitely a movie worth MANY AWARDS!!! A very hillarious and smart comedy! The dialogues are brilliant! Goro's acting is much more brilliant here!!^^ The overall production of this movie is EXCELLENT!! I think, this is the first time I ever saw Goro acting SO NATURAL and fit in with the role very much, without having to put much effort.
I've actually seen Goro acted comical characters before, and he did a good job. But his acting in this movie is just brilliant!!^^ I love Tsubaki Hajime character very much. I can feel the struggle and the hard times he had to go through as a comedy theatre scriptwriter in that post-World War era^^
2. Asuka e, Soushite Mada Minu Ko e [To Asuka, And The Unborn Child]
I cried buckets watching this!!!! It's a 2-hours SP drama. Somehow, it's slightly more touching than Shiroi Kage. I love Goro's relationship with his wife in this drama. Definitely recommended!!
3. Saimin [Hypnosis] -The Drama
A mystery drama almost on par with Sleeping Forest!! If only there are English subs for this drama x) The plot is quite unpredictable. I'd say, this is better than M no Higeki. And Goro's chemistry with Seto Asaka is goooood!!! He really care about her. And Goro is very kakkoi in this drama!^^
Best Tsuyoshi Dorama/Movie
1. Food Fight & Koi ni Ochitara
These two are THE BEST BEST BEST!!!!^.^d Tsuyoshi's BEST CHARACTERS are in these two dramas!!! Suzuki Shimao(KoiOchi) and Ihara Mitsuru(FF)!! I love The Evil Shimao. And Ihara Mitsuru is SOOOO NOT Tsuyoshi!!! He's really kakkoi and can be ridiculous too. I love how she flirt with his boss' wife...heehee...! Why do I say Best CHARACTERS?? Well...that's basically because I personally think Tsuyoshi's BEST ACTING is in every drama and movie he's in!! xD I think, I didn't realize it myself, that I've quietly acknowledge him as the Best Actor among SMAP x)
2. Yomigaeri
A very EXCELLENT movie!!!!
3. Messengers
The story idea is fresh and original!! Loved this hillarious movie!
4. Sensei Shiranai no? [Teacher, Dont You Know?]
Tsu as elementary school's teacher!!! I love this one better than Dohmoto Tsuyoshi's Gakko no Sensei!!^^ And the cutest thing is when one of his girl student falls in love with him!! Tsu kept saying to her...that they can't be together coz the age difference is too big: 10 and 24! haha! But the little girl argued, "So what?? When I become 20, sensei is 34! The difference won't be prominent anymore! Age doesn't matter, when it comes to love!".
5. Narita Rikon [Narita Divorce]
HILLARIOUS!!! This is a very enjoyable drama for me. I love watching Tsu and Seto Asaka's bicker/fight scenes. They're hillarious!!^_^
Best Shingo Dorama
1. Hito ni Yasashiku [Be Nice To People/Basically Nice] & Shinsengumi!
My all-time favorites!!!!!!^o^ It's REALLY DIFFICULT to decide which one I like best. I love both the most equally. I guarantee you, that BOTH Hitoni & Shinsengumi can make you laugh SO HARD and also make you CRIED BUCKETS!!!
Hitoni is about 3 single guys who's living under the same roof, suddenly had to be fathers of a 6 yr old boy^^
Shinsengumi, well...to make things short, just visit: http://nhkshinsengumi.tripod.com/
I love Shingo's chemistry with his wives in this samurai drama: Tabata Tomoko & Yuuka!! He had great chemistry with both women. Hehee... Wives?? Yes! Tabata is the first wife, who live in Edo(Tokyo), their marriage was arranged by their parents due to Shingo's parents' financial difficulties. Yuuka is Shingo's second wife, who live in Kyoto...with the first wife's agreement and there's also one condition from Tabata, that is 'Please take care of him...but ONLY when he's in Kyoto' xD Though it makes him sounds like a jerk, haha...Shingo loves his two wives equally.
The most hillarious moment was when the first wife came to visit him in Kyoto, and find out about his lover, Yuuka xD Not only Shingo who got panicked, but all of his subordinates got panicked too, and tried to cover the facts by acting....they tried to claim that Yuuka is THEIR lovers and not Shingo's! LOL!
2. Ichiban Taisetsu na Hito [Precious Together/Most Important Person]
Looooooove the bittersweet story!!!!!^.^ Though Shingo's acting is only so-so here, but his chemistry with Mizuki Arisa is SUPERB!!! The overall production is also good!
3. Yomigaeru Kinro [The Wolf]
The one and only JDorama action-genre I ever watched!! BEST ACTING by Katori Shingo, so far, definitely!!! The action scenes are sooooo COOL!!! Shingo is CHO KAKKOI in this drama!!! He's a mild-mannered salaryman by day and a dangerous, a bit psycho guy with guns by night!! lol! His onscreen presence in this drama is just EXCELLENT!!
Oh, another Shingo's BEST ACTING, worth to mention is in
Miseinen. Though I don't really like the drama itself, coz its quite slow... But Shingo's performance was really superb, as the retarded boy!!^^ Though he's retarded, he still look KAWAIIII.....!!!^.^ I'm quite amazed to see his acting as a retarded boy... And he was only 18, back then.
