Gokusen is currently being subbed by SARS (thanks amrayu). Gokusen 2 is slated to follow, I believe. If you want copies of the episodes I have (either eng subbed for Gokusen, or raws for Gokusen 2), let me know. I'll send over some discs so you don't need to rent them.

Some big events today. The 2005 World Exposition Aichi officially opens its doors to the public, with the theme "Nature's Wisdom." Thousands attended the opening ceremony yesterday, including the Emperor, Empress, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. 121 countries are taking part in the expo, built among wooded hills about 20km from the city of Nagoya in central Japan. About 15 million people are expected to visit the event over the next 185 days.
I am trying to be one of the 15 million people, but it'll be difficult taking much time off from work this summer.
Edit: It's not a problem with my wife, she's a teacher.

Sounds cool...
I'm gonna start calling you Superfly, since you're turning into my main supplier...
A big wedding announcement yesterday - comedian Uchimura Teruyoshi (40) gave a press conference to say he is engaged to TV Asahi announcer Tokunaga Yumi (29). Uchimura, better known as Uchan of the comedy duo Uchan Nanchan, has long been considered one of the most eligible bachelors in the geinoh (showbiz) world. He has been romantically linked with several announcers, but it looks like he's finally going to settle down, like comedy partner Nanbara Kiyotaka (40) did 13 years ago. Tokunaga divorced in September 2003, five months after the scandal of an affair with Uchimura forced her to step down from several regular TV spots. She will quit TV Asahi on April 8 and the couple will marry sometime after that. • Kurosawa Kiyoshi (50) is one of the directors who have made a series of horror movies based on 6 comics by manga-ka Umezu Kazuo (68). Kurosawa's "Mushitachi no Ie" will go on sale at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Another in the series is "Zesshoku" (Fasting) by "Ringu" scriptwriter Takahashi Hiroshi.
The baseball season got off to an interesting start at the weekend. The Sendai Rakuten Golden Eagles, the first new franchise in over 50 years, won their very first game 3-1 on Saturday but then lost by the staggering score of 26-0 on Sunday. Both games were against Bobby Valentine's Chiba Lotte Marines, who set a club record in the second game. Meanwhile over at the Yahoo! Dome, the renamed Fukuoka Softbank Hawks had popular actress Ueto Aya (photo, 19) and fellow Oscar Pro beauties Yonekura Ryoko (29), Kikukawa Rei (27), Ishikawa Asami (27) and Tamaru Maki (26) on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch to Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters poster boy Shinjo Tsuyoshi (33). Ueto and Shinjo teamed up for the Oronamin C TV commercial, and the flamboyant outfielder carried a bottle of the "genki" drink rather than a bat into the batter's box. • Actress Momoi Kaori (52), who has a major part in the upcoming Rob Marshall geisha flick "Sayuri," has joined the US Screen Actor's Guild. It's unusual for an actor to join the organization with less than three Hollywood features under their belt. Momoi is said to be considering following co-star Watanabe Ken's lead and moving to Los Angeles. "Sayuri" is due for worldwide release in December.

What? they all threw the ceremonial first pitch? I'd love to see that....
Nippon Ham Fighters...what a name.... _________________
Toshiba EMI is to put out a CD compilation of Japan's biggest and best female artists. Following the success of last year's "Venus" albums, compilations of foreign female artists, "Venus Japan - For Your Departure" will feature artists such as Utada Hikaru (photo, 22), Shiina Ringo (26), Matsutoya Yumi (51), Imai Miki (41), Yaida Hitomi (26), and Oguro Maki (35). With the new school year coming up, the theme of the album is departure and new journeys. It goes on sale tomorrow, March 30. • Hollywood star Richard Gere (48) is in town to promote the US remake of the hit movie "Shall We Dance" in which he co-stars with Jennifer Lopez. The movie opens on April 23. Gere, who criticized China's repressive policies in a press conference at a Tokyo hotel yesterday, will probably be a bit more diplomatic when he meets Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro today. The PM is often said to look like the movie star, though the resemblance doesn't really extend below the hairline.
Enka singers Mori Shinichi (57) and his wife Masako (46) have separated after 19 years of marriage. Masako issued a statement in which she said they had grown apart and lost their sense of trust in one another. She was rushed to hospital at the beginning of February and resolved to leave her husband shortly afterwards. She took their 11-year old son with her when she returned to her parents' Setagaya home on March 13. Meanwhile her husband has checked into a Tokyo hospital after developing complications with his hepatitis, which he has lived with for the last 20 years. The couple, among the biggest names in enka, have been giving stage shows together for the last three years, despite the fact that they originally contracted to do it for a year. The workload and stress of constant performing is said to have been the reason for Masako's deteriorating health. • French beauty Sophie Marceau (38) is in town to promote her role as the new image character for cosmetic brand Socié World, which celebrates its 45th anniversary next month. A new TV commercial featuring the actress and mother of two will air from April 17.
