If you're a fan of the Kai "dude from Orange Days" He's in like the last 2 eps or so. Not that bigga role, but he's in it

dude, that guy is everywhere
well not everywhere but I just saw Tokyo Drift and he was there.
after seeing him, I thought I'd more familiar faces, but no.
he must be popular in Japan.

He still got ways to go if he want to be big as Kat-Tun...or on the level of the Smap guys.

He's in magazines and starting to appear more in movies.

Kat-tun's popular?
no wonder Kame has a freakin show every season (he's in that group right?)

for the most part when it comes to young actors/actresses, if they aren't popular they wouldn't be on current doramas.

Yuup......they're popular.

Kame is indeed in the group.

The guy who plays Kazu in My Boss My Hero is also in the group.
In my honest opinion Kazu is a much better actor then Kame. Even though his role was very big, at least he played it just right.

but even with them (popular young actors/actress).. it doesn't seem to be working. The ratings are really low nowdays..

People of Japan are starting to realize that even with these popular young actors/actresses, the show won't be good.

Great example would be Shimokita Sundays.
I mean the all so popular Ueto Aya and this most recent drama of hers after the wonderful Attention Please was a major let down.

I think only her most loyal of fans watched the show.

I AGREE COMPLETELY....ppl are sick of lame sh*t that's coming out.....cuz it's LAME. who gives a crap just because it has some young star....doesn't necessarily mean it will be good....the stories aren't good and often aren't original.....

hell when they decided to cut an episode like with Shimokita Sundays....that's the kiss of death...b/c the ratings are so low.

how appropo....even Taiga viewers (i.e. Yoshitsune) who've never seen him in anything else say he sucks.

How ironic. In Japan, you have singers that think they are actors.

In Australia, we get actors who think they are singers. They usually aren't

Of course, there are exceptions (Ai Otsuka for one)

so far gokusen 1 and 2 and hana yori dango are on my list

I don't know if you'll like it or not..........since i'm not sure whether you're a boy or girl.....but Waterboys.
I enjoyed Waterboys, even though I gotta watch them boys in speedos. The drama is funny and enjoyable. Give it a try.

I also thought Wedding Planner is really good.
