Singapore JDrama Fans Fall In!

I just came back fron KLand i bought two sets of Korean Drama and a Japanese movie Ý¢ŠE’†SŒÄŠ«ˆ¤î and very lucky that i amnot stopped by the custom officer! So i think it shouldn't be a problem to bring in Japanese Drama from Malaysia as long as youdon't buy too many boxes!

You guys can go to City Square (near custom)
4th Floor , shop call "J-GEN TOWER"

or

Pelangi Leisure Mall 2nd floor
** here got many Japanese Drama with cheaper price
**you can take free bus at City Square to Pelangi leisure Mall~

can ask if City Square has shops that actually sell original japanese drama vcds? and have quite a lot of variety? i wanted to watch quite a few japanese dramas but the shops in s'pore doesnt seem to have it and the variety here is limited... i went to kl once with my relatives.. but if on my own... haha.. i might get lost..so was hoping to look out for somewhere nearer...

sorry.. accidentally double-posted.. so i delete this post. :sweat:

Don't think its people we've heard of. The supporting cast for the various Initial D teams are plainly just Japanese crew! Only the mains (beside Anne) were all Chinese...

I want to catch the show again... managed to watch the preview last night. =P

Just watched the show today. Edison and Shawn are soooo cute! Haha! Chapman really provides the comic relief. He's just fantastic! Love Anthony in the show too. He's great as Takumi's father. Would have liked it better if Jordan appeared more. And Bee still looks good for his age. :nut: As for Jay, he did better than i expected. :P

I've just watched that movie too. One familiar face besides Anne suzuki was that guy from Gokusen - Waki Tomohiro

oooh !!! kumai also got act in the movie ah .. hehez
i didn't know tat ... ahh .. dunno when then i get to watch tat movie ..

Sorry. Not so acquainted with the cast. Who does Waki Tomohiro play in Initial D?

Its funny how the cast differs from the anime. *LoL* (Bunta speaks waaay too much, and I didn't know he's such a drunkard! XD), but overall it was a refreshing story change...

Just hope that the movie goers don't clash with the anime goers over which story line is correct. :P

Waki Tomohiro only appeared for a brief moment. He was one of the members from Takeshi Nakazato's(Shawn Yue) racing team.

Still wondering how's the movie like... But must be nice with many handsome guys :dancing:
But are there many japanese artiste in the movie?

The other one I really would like to see it the "densha no otoko". Apparently it is being distributed soon. So many nice Jap shows to watch... can't wait!!!! :dancing:

Can some 1 tell me why did it take so long to come s'pore? I understand tt it's highest grossing movie in HK last year .. tks :)

To cheery : Most of the Japanese actors and actresses inside mainly play supporting roles. The main roles are done by the Taiwanese and HK actors. The only Japanese cast closest to the main role would be Takumi's (Jay) girlfriend Natsuki (Anne Suzuki)

I tried to catch Be With You at Cineleisure last Saturday. But the tickets were sold out so quickly! Will try catching the show tonight. :P

it's becoz japan movies are normally very ex to buy the movie here to s'pore .. and at first no distrubutors really dare to take the risk .. but seems tat finally there's distrubutors willing to buy it ... :victory:
