Ishihara Satomi [石原さとみ] i didn't like her in kimi wa petto, just because her character was very much of the spoiled princess type. her role in H2 completely changed my perception--she's so endearing and cute! good actress, very fresh and brings life to each scene.
Kubozuka Yosuke [窪塚洋介] didn't he jump off a building? as an actor, i vaguely remember him in "number one"...he played a typical directionless punk. not very distinguishable.
Oikawa Mitsuhiro [及川光博] i think he's a bit too effeminate. not particularly talented, either. very awkward, in fact.
Takizawa Hideaki [滝沢秀明] i can't stand his flat nose. he looks like jackie chan with down syndrome. as an actor, he's also tends to be very exaggerating and doesn't seem comfortable in any role. i can't see why this guy is so popular...
Yamada Takayuki [山田孝之] he's sooo good in byakuyakou! it looks like he completely threw himself in character!
Byakuyakou [白夜行] compared to sekaichuu... [Rating: 9/10] byakuyakou and sekaichuu share very many similarities, including the same main leads, but i really prefer byakuyakou to sekaichuu. it's a much more sordid story, for one thing :P oh come on, child prostitution, extortion, blackmail, murder...you really can't beat that, can you?
Lunch no Joou [ランチの女王] like it so far! [Rating: 8/10] i've just watched episode two, and so far, it seems like a really goofy and light-hearted show. the characters are likeable enough, but i'm hoping yamada takayuki gets more of the spotlight as the series progresses >.<
