Nozawa Hisashi,he also wrote Koibito yo,Aoi tori,a wednesday love affair plus one or two episodes of Oishi kankei(spelling?) and one conan the detective movie.There's more but I don't think they are available,do check out koibito yo if you can,it is not a mystery drama like sleeping forest but
it still one of my most beloved drama.

hello!

well,it goes like this.
since the hols are coming,i'm going back to malaysia[finally!].and since i've been sooo deprived from j-drama,i'm planning to buy tonnes of them and bring them to melbourne to watch during my studying-term.

wow, i think you're the first one that i heard of that was not a fan to summer snow!

i have a friend who's a die-hard Ryoko Hirosue fan and he doesn't like summer snow.

so now you know 2 people.

:naughty:

It's that time of the year again, doing my yearly buy 10+ drama series thing. Few Qs:

-I always buy them from http://www.cinemashops.com/index.php, are there better sites?

-I want Salaryman Kintaro 1 and 2! Where to buy these old series?

-I have always liked Takizawa Hideaki, but he always plays such gloomy roles or stars in quasi intelligent series(no offense to fans of those dramas, just don't like gloomy dramas). Bokura no Madonna however, looks like a drama that's more lighthearted and funny? Is this correct and does he play a happier/funnier guy? I heard it resembles Long Vacation... that one was a bit too slowpaced for me, is this really like that?

-what other dramas should I buy?

Pls anwer at least a few of these qs, I'm ordering today...

I'm not sure what to suggest because I don't know what you have :P

For a Takki drama, try News no Onna. He's a little gloomy at the beginning but he comes out with some random zinger jokes. I liked him in it a lot. It's about a newscaster who recently marries a divorced man with a son (Takki).

Some other possible suggestions in general for funny moments: Oyaji, GTO, Big Wing, Hero, Golden Bowl, Hitotsu Yane no Shita, Itazura na Kiss, Kimi wa Petto, Long Vacation, Narita Rikon, Nurse no Oshigoto, Shomuni, Taiho Shichiauzo, Yome wa Mitsuboshi.

I don't tend to buy VCD's often, but the site you showed had decent prices. They could be a little cheaper, but I've seen much more expensive. I honestly tend to stick to Yahoo! Auctions Singapore. Many sellers ship internationally and have very cheap prices and rarer titles. Good luck!! I hope you do well in your purchase :D

Can anytime please tell me the theme song to Hatsu Taiken? The Jazz song they play at the beginning of the show, not the one by Do As Infinity.

Thanks!!!!

Where can I find Love Quotient with English subtitle? Anyone trade it?

Hello. Well I am new here and I am a big fan of Asian cinema but one thing I do not know much about is Japanese drama shows.
I have seen TRICK and it's ace and I want to see more.
What are the MUST SEE shows I have to check out and can anyone recommend some with Abe Hiroshi and Yukie Nakama.

Thankyou kindly all :)
