JDrama Recommendations

Since I'm getting a lot of flack for my rudeness regarding Tsumabuki Satoshi, I hope that you guys can recommend me some of his dramas. So far, I've seen Slow Dance, Orange Days, Wedding Planner, Ikebukuro West Gate Park, and Long Love Letter.

Have you seen Swing Girls? It's only a movie, but fun and lively.

Summer Time Machine Blues is another fun movie. :)

I'm curious about Swing Girls, so I'm curious about that. Thanks for the recommendations. :)

I wouldn't take it personally...

I've been bagging on Matsujun and all the other lame-o fangirl idols for years and the flack has yet to deter me... :beaten:

Is that what it was? Fangirlism? For a second there, I thought that he was some awesome actor that I just didn't *get*. :rolleyes:

Very sweet of you to offer, but Anime Dad's hooking me up. :D

Okie dokie, but if there's stuff that he doesn't have that you're looking for...

If you've seen that much of him, especially Orange Days, and you still don't like him...then hang it up..you never will...

Joze to tora to sakana tachi...just a thought

I think u missed Lunch no Joou, its also a good one.

actually I don't like him in Orange Days (the first part, but started to warm up by the 2nd half) & Slow Dance is pretty darn boring but like him alot in IWGP, guest appearence in Kisarazu, Lunch no Jyou & in the movie Jose, the Tiger & The Fish.
Still haven't watched Waterboys the movie. Heard he was really good in it.

Just to add on, Nada Sou Sou is a pretty good movie too.

oh, i have to check that out myself. i heard it was a total tear jerker

So his movies are better than his dramas? I will try to look into this. And I've been told that Lunch no Joou was good too, so I'll check it out eventually. Thanks everyone! :)

Lunch no Jyou is yummy. Yuko Takeuchi owned this dorama. Surprisingly, I didn't care about the man/boys in it (Tsumabuki, the big bro..can't rem, orangey looking Yamapi, Yamada Takayuki, even Shinichi <--he's good in this). My eyes were focused on Yuko & the food only.
Beware though. It'll make you really, really hungry.

Satoshi appeared for a minute in The Fast & Furious 3 :beaten: Some say that's the highlight of the whole movie.

yes, it is defenetily a good dorama..

btw, i wonder about fast and furious tokyo drift, why there is no japanese actor that has an important role, they even picked "non-japanese asian" actor instead of japanese.
the drift king and his rival one (i forgot his name) they are both not a japanese.

Yeah, that sucked. Only good thing about that movie was that it had Yoko Maki in it :)

after u mention her, i just checked it.. she is the main actor's father's girlfriend (or just an hostess) right? she just appear for few seconds and only said one sentences:
"mata ne!", am i right?

That's not saying much at all. :bleh:

have you seen 69 Sixty Nine? that movie was also really fun...

but let's just hope what ralph said about the age factor doesn't effect my views. teenybopper here :naughty: :hehe:

I'm looking for a good romantic comedy worth watching. I've seen the following:

Nodame Cantabile
HYD 1+2
Gokusen 1+2
Nobuta wo Produce
Star no koi
Train Man
Kimi wa petto

Preferably a romantic comedy in a high school setting, though not necessary if the story is solid.
