Wow, we got a lot of ecchis on this board

Mr. Pecs got H1N1. So what now?

Mr. Pecs, that's a good one. I think we just wait till he gets better? He might already be so.


Oh yeah, just to add to episode 8, there was a scene where I felt Yamapi's dormant Akira-kun finally awoke again. Anyone else feel the same?

omgg this drama is a must watch!

not the stereotypical yamapi here!

About Yamapi contracting H1N1.
Excuse the lame a** translation but I'm far better at listening that at reading Japanese, especially Kanji. =3

"According to Fuji tv, Yamashita Tomohisa will be able to return to the filming of Buzzer Beat on September 5th. The 8th episode of the drama will air on Monday 7th without change on the broadcast time."

I happened to stop by my friend's apartment and she was watching the finale. So I watched knowing there would be some basketball this time around.

Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:

The basketball rating is 1/10. Story 3/10 (although I quit watching halfway through the season). I cringed during Keiko's english dialogue (very corny). Can you take a guess how the final game was won? I do however, like Kanjiya Shihori's acting.

Thanks Takoyama,

a follow up question...did riko and naoki end up together? or did they just remain as friends?

Yes they ended up together.

thank you again, Takoyama...

what a nice morning wake-up read.

I lilke Aibu Saki a lot and pairing him with Yamapi is an added bonus, well at least for the first few episodes.
I'm still on episode 6 and I just started taking it seriously a while ago so I think it's not bad at all coz it brought me back to my drama addiction that has been on hiatus for more than 6 months. Perhaps it's just me and my bias-ness for the cast.

ok, even though i really enjoyed this drama and i thought it was good but i won't be voting for it as the best drama of the season.
Ninkyo Helper should have won in every category.

Everyone knows that Nikkan Sports awards are nothing more than popularity contests... The drama probably had the award locked before the show even aired.

Well, they had already won the Oricon Star Summer Drama Awards in most (all?) categories before the last episode even aired.

Thanks to my particular hobby I employ a simple rule: If Keiko doesn't talk about it on her blog, then it's not important.

So far her new mantelpiece decorations have failed to impress her enough to do so.

+1 However, the Summer season doramas seemed rather lackluster.

There ya go.

I don't know what's worse: bogus awards or bogus ratings.

I suppose.

If that doesn't invalidate an award, nothing will.
