I think it is showing on the local Channel 8 on Thusday nites. Let me go watch it and tell you.

I have watched several episodes and i really like this show especially the main actress.
It is a love story between a 35 year old career woman(Fashion line) and a younger guy.

Imai Miki looks good in the show. The supporting case is quite good too. You'll stick around for the ending.

Hi Guest ;) ,
Ooohhhh,..you're so lucky, you know, having a chance to watch "BRAND" at your TV channel.

Yes...yes...ofcourse, I love to get some juicy informations & reviews about "BRAND" from you.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
Looking forward to hear some news from you about "BRAND".

Happy watching :) .

Hi yvetsh ;) ,

Thank you very much for your infos and recommendations about "BRAND".
I'm glad to get different opinions about this show because previously I got kinda' of "not so recommended" opinions about this show. :D
Well,..I just wanna give another try to get other views about this show.
Thank God, you gave a good review about this show that makes me re-considering to "will watch" this show.

And yes, I'm eager to see Imai Miki in this show. I don't much about this artiste but when saw her picture on the internet, I get interested.
She's pretty. :D
Oh yeah,..does she looks like the Singaporean artiste, PHYLLIS QUEK ???
Atleast, that's what I assume when I saw Imai Miki's pic. Because I never saw Imai Miki before at TV, maybe my guessing is wrong.

Thanks

Hi enau,

Glad that my comments has been helpful :)

You are right, Miki Imai does looks like Phyllis Quek,
both of them are very charismatic.

yvetsh,

Wow ! Never thought that my guessing was right :D
Yeah,..Phyllis Quek is charismatic, she looks gorgeous in "Legend of Eight Immortals" (the kungfu series) alongside Jacelyn Tay. ;)

Thanks

Hi Doumyouji,

page for the satelite kept appearing telling me that
it is not downloaded or it is not working.

I tried downloading it(satelite) twice but the same message
kept appearing. I wonder if you can help me? What are the
procedure for d/l ing a song?

Thank you :)

I found a site that contains "BRAND"'s synopsis but the episodes are not finished yet.

I thought this was pretty good. It was only the second time I'd seen Somegoro Ichikawa, the other time was in Pride and he was real good in both. :applaud:

LOL, you're in an thread exhumation mode aren't you? :beaten:

Well this is really an oldie but definitely a goodie. I loved this drama. I truly admired Somegoro playing this role. such restraint and finesse which I think came from his stage training. I liked the story basically, but Somegoro made it for me. When he changed from modern dress to his tea ceremony scenes he had a different persona altogether.

Recently saw a lovely picture of him and his father and his very young son. I think the little boy is maybe four years old. He had just made his debut with his father and grandfather in the Kabuki company that Ichikawa Somegoro now heads. Quite a long family history with their clan.

Somegoro does not have much time away from the Kubuki but when he does he is always memorable. Loved him in "PRIDE" with Takuya Kimura.
They are good friends. He is Matsu's brother.
