Northern California's KTSF web site

Did they seem shocked that we watch Taiga Dramas? Or shocked that they follow one?

I think that their little ol' game show follows a taiga drama.

Oh, I thought it was that KTSF wasn't mentioned....but I could see Old-Ant's interpretation.

They didn't mention KTSF by name, but she was talking about how IQ Sapuri was playing on TV on a San Francisco station.

Dochira! Welcome back, bro. How was your trip?

So again, in its infinite wisdom (ha!) for KTSF's "Fall Special," they're cutting a movie into shreds and running it in three consecutive weeks, from October 8th, 15th and 22nd. It's called Kike wadatsumi no koe (Last Friends). Starring Naoto Ogata from Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu, and Yuji Oda from "Bayside Shakedown" (which is in the DVD player as I write this).

Looks like it'll take the place of Atarashii Kaze during that time. To which, all I can say is... whatever. And just when Kaze was starting to get interesting. Sheesh.

Aw crap. I posted this in the wrong spot. Moderator, could you move this to the "KTSF thread," please?

Gomen!

Will do. :)

Aho, you're a lifesaver! I had an exceptionally gruesome day yesterday. I must have hit the "topic" button instead of the "reply" one. That'll teach me to think before I post... :doh:

Arigatou!

Awesome! Thanks for asking.

Yeah, I saw the commercial for it. They (KTSF) love to shred movies into weeks, huh?

At this point I'm used to KTSF chopping movies up and spreading them out over 3 weeks or so.

But I'm puzzled about the film quality.

As did the last movie special, the one about the guy who created the VHS recorder, this one looks like it was made decades ago.

But I recognized a bunch of the actors, and according to the movie data base it was made in 1995.

I might have thought the faded quality was for art's sake -- what with the film being set at the beginning of and during the war -- but this looks like the same poor film quality the last one had.

Everyone at my house is curious about that too. (No, we *don't* get out much, why do you ask? ;) )

Seriously, can anyone explain this?

Sorry, I can't. I'm not sure why there's a video quality issue at the station. :headscratch: I wish I was able to compare it to their "digital" broadcast, but I'm afraid I wouldn't tell a difference.

It looks like there's going to be a TTV fall drama too.

Misora Hibari, Tanjou Monogatari

It looks like a made-for-TV biopic of an enka singer when she was young. The scenes they're showing on the commercials during the news broadcasts seem to have the standard girl-wants-to-sing-but-father-won't-allow-it conflict. I wonder if it's subtitled (knowing TTV, probably not).

Ha. There's a girl on IQ Sapuri tonight wearing a wa-loli kimono (the one with the yellow bows in her hair--yeesh). Wa loli is a mix of traditional Japanese clothing with the gothic & lolita look. See the lace trim along the neckline? h

By the way, I tried some kind of Aojiru-type thing today at Whole Foods. It was mixed with apple juice, and it actually DID taste kind of like green tea.

Atarashii Kaze is turning out to be quite a good show. Nice to see Mako with her hair down for a change\made me forget to switch to Channel 9 during the next commercials (they were showing a plumpish and aging Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits). Nice also to see little Moe trading her pouts for smiles (political campaigns can work miracles). But Mr. Niimi should learn to show a little more affection toward his wife. So far, his most intimiate move was to give her a high-five.

Now: why on earth is KTSF showing a WW2 movie in the middle of this series? Are rumors true they want to make Moe pout again?

Now that Wakaba's dad turned out not to be her dad after all, I'm yawning again. Are we on for ten months of wooing with slightly-effeminate Masaya? Good thing Grandpa provides some entertainment with his tree-poking.

Was it my sound system or was there an enormous ticking sound going on over the Sapuri de Dare segment of IQ Sapuri? I wouldn't have gotten the answer correct anyway (I think I've only gotten the answer for that segment correct twice in the entire run of the show so far), but it's annoying when I can't hear what I'm getting wrong! :bonk:

Now if they had the ticking sound going on over the Gattai Kanji segment, I wouldn't have minded so much.

I heard that same noise during Wakaba. It was Grandpa poking his tree. Could they be poking trees at IQ Sapuri?

Just wanting to know.....is KTSF still showing that HEYHEYHEY show???

Nope. They traded it for a show where a wise elderly woman gives everybody advice on how to live. It started about five or six weeks back.

Incidentally, Heyx3 still appears on the TTV USA website (at least when I last checked). They also have this current show there. At first I thought they were going to trade off each week. I guess I was wrong.

Also I did notice the background sound during the Sapuri de Dare segment. I thought it seemed out of place. I noticed there was also a different assistant last night. I'm going to have to go back in the DVR to see what her name is.

Found it: Nakano Minako

Seeing as though the life of your thread has ended, I'll be merging it now.
