J-Dramas on TV (S'pore)

I can't help but express my deepest anger for channel 8
for showing crappy dramas (shopping superman) on saturday
can't they show something better like KOIBUMI or BOKU DAKE no MADONNA or Dr KOTO

Hey, I actually find shopping man interesting... it's kinda funny! Am I the weirdo here with unusual taste, or does anyone else find it nice too?

they're showing GTO special on that night slot on sunday.. hmm.. maybe will watch.. but where's my shomuni?! :hehe:

Guess there won't be Shomuni yet =(

Next Saturday night, they will be showing the J-movie Crossfire (o/w known as Pyrokenesis) starring Yada Akiko and Hideaki Ito!!! On cable CH56. Check it out :mrgreen:

btw, wai, you're a teacher..? hmm.. about how often i like tests.. of course, no tests are best.. :P , but i guess without them we won't be forced to study and revise.. i guess the system now works.. with CAs, SAs, and weekly or biweekly class tests..

yup...i'm a teacher. :) it'll be best if there's no homework too! things to be marked are piling so fast that i can't even finish what i started watching a week ago... :sweat:

huh? wasn't it shown before Sonagi? thought i watched it on 8... and i think the specials they are showing now were once shown on sat before.

just wait patiently for them to broadcast as the chances of TCS buying the right to broadcast is very high as they are Fuji drama.

For Example, Itsumo Futari desu is broadcast in Japan from Jan to March 2003 and TCS broadcast them around May to July 2004.

If you cannot wait for them to broadcast, why not buy the dramas to watch.

oh I have those VCD(itsumo futari de, dr koto, bokudake no madonna, koibumi) just that I want every one to share them

they will be showing nemureru mori after oishii kankei finishes its run on E City channel 56.. which is next next monday 2 Aug.. wonder whether i should watch.. it seems a bit dark.. :rolleyes:

nemureru mori was good. watched it like 5 times. I think if u liked ice world, this should be nice for most. The story plot is about the same.

True the thing is that you want TCS to broadcast the latest drama but there is restrition from TCS to buy japanese show since now the craze is korean and korean shows are much cheaper and they capture a wider audience and earn more advertising fees.

I think people needs to write in to TCS to let them know there is a big market for Japanese drma in Singapore.

is it a good show? didn't buy it coz the story line didn't exactly appeal to me. dun think i'll get a chance now that the taiwanese are not selling older titles anymore.

qn: may i know which thread should i go to in order to request for doramas?

thks! :)

you can try http://jdorama.com/viewforum_5.htm
there are many stickies where you can request for someone to seed the drama that you want via bt. or if you want vcds, yahoo auctions are quite alright too. dvds can be bought over places like cdjapan. :)

Is it Power Office Girls final chapter ? I saw in I-weekly some weeks ago that its going to screen power office girls, but bcos of the NKF thing, it keeps showing j-movies....

aiya..just read from starhub website that they are showing 'Good Luck' from Thurs to Fri next Fri onwards..aiyo :mad: why so many repeats ? I actually wrote an email to complain to starhub about the repeats on e-city one month ago..looks like no improvements yet :mad:

Hi all, I saw a trailer on channel 8 yesterday.
It seems like starting from 5 of August they would be running some Japanese movies, animation and I think there is also dramas.

One of the animation they would be broadcasting is Miyazaki's Spirited Away.

Movie: Onmyoji (Yin-Yang Master), Princess Blade

Drama: Shomuni Final

Look out for more ;)
