Jun's voice was so different screaming that.. |
Just watched the episode premiere. the line is not tagalog and it's not matsumoto's voice.
from what I can pick up, it was "fuiripin (philippine) yarou wa yo!". The "yarou wa yo!" part sounded like "hindi ako, kayo"
I'm not gonna be translating the words cuz it might spoil the series for some of you. (well, my japanese is conversational at best)
This dorama hit me deep personally because I am a Fil-Jap halvsie myself. one time a salaryman ojisan shouted at me with the words "Kaero! baka gajin, kusee!" (Go home, stupid foreigner! Sh!t!)). They've also stopped me at train stations to inspect if I have a valid alien registration card even though my nationality is Japanese. I hope this drama shows that mixed raced japanese exist in Japan's so called Homogeneous society and that like them, We have dreams too.
Sorry for the speech (or rant) as my first post. Can't help, almost teared up watching the first episode. highly recommended.

I'm not too sure if Johnny's artist really had a say to pick and choose their roles but I'm glad Jun agree to act as Bito. Maybe it's a way for him to understand his gaijin fans

you made me so excited to watch this drama... its interesting to know that its all about opening the eyes of the Japanese on this issue.
i hope this drama helps on stopping (or at least lessening) that idea on some Japanese people _________________

will someone be providing softsubs for this??
i just watched it raw..and even though i barely understood, i must say that it was really an interesting drama..can't help but feel pity towards Bito..honestly i was teary seeing the last part..
i just noticed that the other characters in the drama [except for Hana of course.. ] only calls Bito as "Bito"..without any honorifics added..does that have something to do with him being a gaijin too??
about Jun's acting..i think it was OK except for the crying scene..it looks forced to me..
but nevertheless, his smile makes up for it..
looking forward to the next episode!!
Shun looks smexy hot as a bad boy on the preview btw.. _________________

If such things happen openly and people don't think much about it,then I'm disgusted,because it would mean that the Japanese mindset hasn't changed since WWII. |
I've been forum hopping and found this at d-addicts

My japanese professor worked overseas at a medical university and she said before the semester started they had a meeting to tell all the professors about the students that were not of complete japanese heritage and they did this so that the teachers could be a bit cautious of those students because the Japanese have a general mistrust of non-Japanese (it doesnt matter if you are born and raised there and only speak Japanese). |
Any other interesting facts or personal experience to share anyone?

That would be off-topic.
There's very likely a thread regarding this subject in the General Discussion forum.

It's not since it would help understand the theme of the drama itself especially on situations and difficulties faced by the main character Bito. Since the Japanese people at 2ch have been complaining about the drama 'unrealistic' plot, as an audience who has no experience living in Japan, I would like to know if the same situation does actually happen or is it generally accepted there.
