Next month the live action adaptation of Yumiko Takahashi's seminal manga/anime romance-comedy "Maison Ikkoku" drama series will finally be debuting on Asahi TV. I can't wait to see it!

Hopefully it will be better than the previous live action movie that came out in the late 80s (that was disappointing).

I wonder if it will retain Saito Yuki's great theme song "Kanashimi O Konnichiwa"?

Here's the official site:

http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/ikkokukan/

The cast will be:

Ito Masaki (Otonashi Kyoko)
Nakabayashi Taiki (Godai Yusaku)
Kishimoto Kayoko (Ichinose Hanae)
Kishibe Ittoku (Yotsuya)
Takahashi Yumiko (Roppongi Akemi)
Sawamura Ikki (Mitaka Shun)
Eikura Nana (Nanao Kozue)
Sugai Kin (Godai Yukari)
Hosokawa Toshiyuki) (Chigusa)
Yanagisawa Shingo (Master)
Morisako Ei (Godai Haruka)

We over at SARS-Fansubs recently released this with english subtitles. I figured people would be interested in it, so that's why I'm posting.

It's available here via BT:

This movie is really really Charming!


@ obentou:

It�Ls about Otonashi Kyoko (Itoh Misaki) who becomes the new manager of a mansion, where 4 people, all weirdos, live. One of them, Godai-san, is a Rounin that tries to pass the collage exams, for him it was love on first sight as he saw Kyoko-san. So the trouble for Kyoko-san began as she begins to live under the same roof with the 4 weirdos.


Well, i can�Lt explain very well... hope you understood a little..


I think it�Ls really worth watching it.. the characters are charming, and the movie is really funny.

Chotto.. so this is a movie and not a drama?

So Itoh Misaki sort of becomes the landlady, you mean?

Yep, she�Ls the landlady..

To be exact:

There have to be more eps, since the ending is widely widely open, but there were no hints that this show is going on, like a sample of ep. 2 or somthing like that.



Edit: After watching the show infos, i saw that there were people that didn�Lt show up in this ep. . It seems that there will be more eps..

Yay !


(My english is kinda bad today, wondering what�Ls wrong with me )

I see. So do you think it's going to be something like the Tokyo Friends drama, with only 5 eps?

And your English is fine. Don't worry too much about it.

i think not... thats why its called SP... SP is always the last show. no continuation or anything.

I beg to differ...I think this SP was just a prelude to a full season...why bother showing new characters if nothing comes of it..what's the point?...also, the SP is not always the last show, usually but not always...the Tiger and Dragon SP was the start of the show, and was aired first...

in my experience in watching dramas. SP is always the last. but since you mention about the Tiger and Dragon SP. hmm i dont know. but showing some new characters doesnt mean that they will be a new season.
