Any info will be pleasant: for example the title, the actors' name, if there are subtitles.

Thanks in advance :wave:

Please bare with me for I'm trying my best to describe what kind of jdrama series it is.

it is about this girl named Karen( who looks like a harajuku girl, very skinny, and her hair is always on a two bun like piggy tails, and she always puts her knees together, points on the side of her head and say "are are are") in love with this guy. Everytime she say his name, he'll hear it no matter where he may be. Of course its typical coz the guy finds the girl very weird, but towards the end, he fell in love with her.

Its about a year after the show To heart ~ koishite shinitai was made.

Please help me try to figure this out. I wish I know the actors names, but it was very hard for me to understand because i didn't really speak Japanese then.

Need a little help here. I've been looking for this drama for years. I dont know the name of the drama, neither the actor nor actress in the drama. all i remember was some vague story lines cos i watched it when i was really young.

It was about this mysterious guy who transferred into this high school class and theres always lavender smell whenever he is around. Later the actress found out that this guy dont appear in any of their class photos and felt really strange. in the end the guy confessed that he was from the future and he has to leave and he has to erase all their memories.

I know this is really vague and its really old. but PLEASE HELP!!!!

THanks!!~ :fingerscrossed:

Hello! I'm at my wits end trying to figure this one out. When in Japan a few years ago I watched a lot of TV and didn't always know *what* I was watching.

I remember quite a fun Japanese drama about an all-girl loli-goth / visual kei style band trying to make it big or something. I'm pretty sure it was shown in early to mid 2005 and late at night (I was living in Tokyo so that narrows the broadcaster down a bit). I've looked all over the drama listings and don't see anything familar sounding.

One of the girls was a drummer with a medical eye-patch, and I'm pretty sure I remember them wandering around a bamboo forest famous for suicides looking for one of their bandmates at one point. A very distinctive feature was the ending sequence to each episode, which featured the cast wandering around a wood and eating poisoned mushrooms.

If *any* of this sounds familiar, please respond. I hope we can all rediscover it. Many thanks!

Hello. I don't know whether I'm on the correct website for my question. But I will try. For my school I need to make a review about foreign films and series on our TV in the time of communism. I'm not able to find enough about one of them - its original name is probably Gennosuke Yonaoshi-cho (Œ¶”V‰î¢’¼‚µ’Ÿ), main character was acted by Akira Kobayashi (¬—ш®), and it was directed by Daisuke Yamazaki (ŽRè‘叕), aired on NTV from 1981 to 1982. It should be about a samurai. I can't speak Japanese, so I don't understand things that I can find on the internet. For my review I should watch the things, but I don't know where can I buy or watch this. Please, doesn't somebody know something about it? Or where can I buy? Thanks.

My uncle missed the end of a drama involving a female detective and a serial killer targeting high school girls. Anyone know what it may be?

Probably Toki o Kakeru Shojo. It was recently made into an anime film known as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time outside Japan but it's been multiple films and, in 1994, a 5 episode drama.

Hi @ll,
I need help... I saw a J-dorama in the 90s when i was still a teenager on a local paytv.
It is about two schoolboy & girl who accidentally got electricuted on their way to school because of a clumsy electrician.
Which resulted to the changing of their gender, boy become girl and vice versa. Same body, but different soul inside.. and it resulted the change in their personality as well. Funny scenes happened, as the girl become boyish while the boy become so feminine.
I remember the girl's name is Za Za or somthing like that.
I forgot the name of the drama, probably someone here knows the title?

I tried put "Ja Ja uma narashi" but the synopsis is different..

I apologise in advance for the utter vagueness of this post, my memory's failed me. I would have given more info otherwise:

I'm looking for the name of this drama I watched at least ten to fifteen years ago, and it's about these two brothers who work together in an office (IIRC) and the only clue I can give is that in the last episode, the younger brother faints in the middle of an argument with officemates(?) and the older brother carries him around on his back. And that's all I can remember really. :shamefulcry:

If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about, you're one hell of a person. Thanks.

A tough request for info here ...
I am looking for a very old jdrama series but i have no idea of the title or the names of the artist at all :sweat:

The drama should be in the same era as dramas such as
Tokyo love story & 101st Marriage Proposal ...
Tried looking through the JDorama database but found nothing close to it.

The only thing i recall is a lady who looks like a Jap/US mix and there is this base-ball player. I guess the story just talks about their relationship ... not a funny one but more to those love story. :shamefulcry:

The only thing i remember is probably the rythmn of the ending theme which is why i am trying to find the title

I remmeber watching it on TV during my sec school days, no idea why im at home in the afternoons back then haha ... anyway will be grateful if anyone can give any info :bow: thanks!!

Hey, this is driving me crazy! >.< I hope someone can help~

I saw a drama on TV today - it might be airing now, or it might be a repeat, I don't know. I'm not quick enough to catch the title during the commercial spots, but I think it was something like "Mendoru"?

The episode I saw was three girls, around middle school age, who dressed up as boys in tuxedo-like outfits for a photoshoot with a crazy afro photographer who swished his butt around a lot. They also had a short section where they sung in a music-video-like-thing, so maybe they were trying to be idols...? There was also a female assistant to the photographer wearing obnoxiously fashionable black clothing and a weird haircut.

When they were trying to convince the photographer they were boys, one of them followed him into the bathroom and pretended to...well...be a boy....and then later they brought him to peek in on one of them and one of their female friends talking, to convince him some more.

Sorry, it's pretty vague ^^;; But I appreciate any help I can get! :woot:
