I just watched the first episode... it's good! It's a funny, light-hearted show. And of course, it has Itoh Misaki in it.

show has a pretty cool name. haven't seen it yet

Okay, finished the second episode. Now I have to wait for the rest to be subbed...

Haha, lovin' the music!

there is a song play in the beginning of the drama in each episode(not pop star), sung by a female, does anyone know the name of the song?

The song that plays during the title sequence? Sadly, I don't know it. I guess we're just gonna have to wait for the OST...

I just finished watching episode 3. Best episode yet! That's not saying a lot since there's only three episodes subbed so far, but it was great. The show seems to get better and better with every episode. This episode was the funniest and most touching so far. The restaurant with the singing guys is so funny... cracks me up every single time. And Shaku Yumiko (Kitamura-san) is HOT.

Episode 4... another great episode. An episode of heartbreak. Once again, Kitamura-san manages to be smokin' hot! Especially in that nurse uniform... mmmm...

i'm reluctant to post in here just in case somebody bungles some shiet and posts any spoilers without the appropriate tags but i will say this...i saw the first episode and i thought it was dayem funny! this show looks to be very entertaining...looking forward to future episodes.

TV dramas inspire privileged princesses to dress up lives as nightclub hostesses


Once scorned as a profession for trash and the traumatized, nightclub hostessing is now the second-most favored job of young Japanese women, according to Sunday Mainichi (12/11).

"Part-time workers and female university students -- and by university students I mean the girls from really famous schools -- are flocking to apply for jobs as nightclub hostesses in places like (Tokyo's entertainment districts of) Roppongi, Ginza and Ueno," a cabaret club talent scout tells Sunday Mainichi.

Fueling this drive for a job once seen as a last resort for the desperate is the idiot box.

"A lot of the credit can be laid at the feet of 'Joou (Queen of the Gals),' currently showing on the TV Tokyo network, and 'Kiken no Aneki (Dangerous Sister),' which was on Fuji TV in September," a TV director says.

"Joou" started screening on Oct. 7 and has rapidly built up a stable following. It tells the story of a privileged university student whose life is suddenly turned upside down when her dad's business goes bust. The woman decides to become a nightclub hostess to earn some quick money to help pay back papa's debts and strives to become her club's top hostess in the process.

"Joou" has rated remarkably well, edging toward the 6 percent mark -- a phenomenally good score for a show that airs in the middle of the night.

"TV Tokyo would be absolutely delighted with that rating," the director tells Sunday Mainichi. "There's a nude scene on every week, which obviously draws the male viewers in, but there's also a large number of women watching the show, too."

Success for the hostess story follows on the footsteps of "Kiken no Aneki," the Fuji TV program starring Misaki Ito in the early autumn.

Both programs have combined to make sure that, among young women at least, the flavor of the month has become stale whiskey fumes breathed out by inebriated salarymen who'll also often extend their grimy paws toward a hostess's thighs or more intimate parts as quick as look at them.

A TV industry insider has no doubts that the success of the shows has changed people's attitudes.

"It's a job where you get paid 5,000 yen an hour for just sitting down next to some guy and pouring him drinks. And, if you're really lucky, the club you're working for will even lend you an evening dress to get done up in and look pretty. Financially at least, the terms are pretty good," the insider tells Sunday Mainichi. "The dramas have made sure that parents will no longer be so reluctant to see their daughters run off and become nightclub hostesses anymore. (By Ryann Connell)

I saw the first 2 episodes of it, and it's pretty funny. Moriyama Mirai is such a nerd in this one...but he's still pretty cool....

Ito plays almost the same role as her other dramas, a pretty girl, but air-headed...

I think I'll watch more of this..
