I would like to ask does anyone know a series starring by Nanako Matsushima and Osawa Takao? Beside the series "A Story Of One Century". Thank You.

Hi, thank you for your information. Actually I want to know beside A Story Of Century is there another series starring by Nanako and Osawa Takao.

Hi Garfield :) !

I didn't find much infos about other J-dorama (other than "A Story Of Century") starring Nanako Matsushima & Osawa Takao.

But, I found this little info from the net, about Osawa Takao & one of his J-dorama (actually, this article came from an article about a Japanese script writer). This is the copy of it :

"He wrote about this trip in "Shinya tokkyu" (Midnight Express). This story was filmed in 1998 and the famous actor Osawa Takao played the role of Sawaki."

the website is :
http://www.kyoto-su.ac.jp/information/famous/sawakik.html

AND then,
I found another little infos through internet.
It came from a VCD's online store. That online store sells a VCD with the title
"MIDNIGHT EXPRESS", starring Nanako Matsushima.

You can check that website at :

http://www.getvcds.com/vcd/JP05010008.shtml

So, I assume that BOTH Nanako & Osawa Takao are playing in this J-dorama titled

"MIDNIGHT EXPRESS".

Hopefully it's not wrong. But if it is wrong,
sorry then. :)

Thanks

This drama was shown on tv2, long time ago! Probably in 1996!! And its dubbed in malay!
it's about a woman married an old man, that old man have a daughter. but this woman is not a faithful wife cause she have an affair with another man! it happen to be that old man daughter (the woman step-daughter) also like this man!!
and both of them pregnant with that man child!! later the woman was killed (someone stabbed her, or was it her step-daughter?) , but b4 she died she gave birth to a baby(girl) so this story is in 2 generation!! the woman and her stepdaughter (1st generation)
then, the woman's daughter with the stepdaughter's daughter (2nd generation)!! *is it confusing?*
in the 2nd generation their daughters also fight with each over a guy!!!

Anyone know what drama im talking about?

does anyone know the name of the drama they showed in japan this past spring with nakamura toru?
15 Aug 2002, 22:09 #9
Yes.
Koi wo nan nen sundemasu ka (Is listed in this site's home page as New Title)

Nakamura Toru's last spring (April until June 2002) work is a dorama with the title :

"Nemurenu Yoru wo Daite" = "THINKING OF YOUR TRUE LOVE"

I think the genre of this dorama is : thriller-mystery. (Dunno for sure, I just assuming).

The network that showing this show is : TV ASAHI

C.J. Morikai is currently writing about the infos (casts, characters, writer, theme song, etc) and the episode guide.

Check it out this web link (in English) :

The official website for "Nemurenu Yoru wo Daite" (in Japanese) :

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

I don't think it's not available on VCD yet.

I think the latest by Kimura, Title direct for the chinese wording translation is "Sky drop a billion star".

Storyline: Kimura's role projected with a heart of devil & finally died with a human heart. This is due to a mistake by a Cop done 25years ago, indirectly causing the role to grow up without love and to love a forbidden love.

Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Fuji Title: The Smile has Left your Eyes

English: One Million Stars Falling from the Sky

Japanese: Sora kora furu issen no hoshi
6 Mar 2003, 11:19 #13
The actual title in Japanese is Sora kara furu ichi oku no hoshi.
