I'm new to the process of suggesting an addition, so please bear with me if I screw up too much. 'Trying to adhere to the lead post in the "guidelines" thread but missing lots of info.
I stumbled onto Yukemuri Sniper awhile back and found it to be unusual but interesting - plus I'm a sucker for anything that's set at an onsen, so this was an instant draw.
Please note that English language information on the 'Net is very sketchy on this drama, especially on character names beyond the main character of Gen-san, and I'm not good enough at speaking or reading Nihongo to translate the official site. I will probably just watch the series again and try to add names as best I can - or maybe someone who can read the Japanese characters can fill them in from the official site? The cast page is here, if it helps:

By way of saving face, I've added original story and writing credits, 'cause I was able to find them and people might be interested in reading the manga.
Anyhow, here goes (gambatte!)...

Ok, that's a good start - I'll leave it there for now and add info if I find it. I can add Artiste info for those not already in the database (Endo-san is not here yet,) but right now I have to crash or I will do a faceplant into my keyboard.

Hm. We're well into the summer season now and still no update. I was hoping Wynter had just been busy, but I'm not sure what to think at this point. Anyone have any insight?

Half the winter dramas are missing as well. Can we get another member to update?
