I've only seen him in a couple of roles, but he was excellent in both: Nodame and Heavenly Forest...

he was also in Last Christmas but his performance was far more muted as he only played a supporting role.

it's very entertaining...a favorite of many....oda yuji is the male lead and yada akiko is the female lead...no young idols, boy band fools, or other such gimps...that acting is good and it's not overly melodramatic....has some funny moments...takes in Tokyo.....a great time to perhaps get your hands on that drama, since it's appropriate for the holidays which are coming up.

Should be worth a look, I guess... Maybe Oda Yuji's performance in this drama will wipe out the bad taste from his excessive mugging in Jodan ja Nai!...

Tamaki Hiroshi stars in Midnight Eagle

Heroes" star Masi Oka (32) joined the Japanese director and cast of "Midnight Eagle" for yesterday's world premiere in Hollywood. Stars Osawa Takao (39) and Takeuchi Yuko (27) said the event was all the more thrilling because it was held at the famous Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, the site of Hollywood's first-ever premiere in 1922. Also on stage were director Narushima Izuru (46) and actors Tamaki Hiroshi (27) and Fuji Tatsuya (66). Scheduled for release in Japan on November 23 and in the U.S. in early December, "Midnight Eagle" will be the first Japanese movie to open (almost) simultaneously in Japan and the U.S. following a tie up between Shochiku and Universal Pictures. It will also be the opening movie at the upcoming Tokyo International Film Festival. The plot revolves around a US stealth bomber that has gone down in Japan's Northern Alps

Yup, he seems like a fun guy.

At the beginning of Nodame, I had my doubts about him, but he was great... And in Heavenly Forest...

The guy's got some acting chops.

Spoon fed.
