Drat! I finished "Rennai kekkon no housoku" (1999) last night.
Shouldn't have. I should have had one episode left. But when it came down to it, I just couldn't turn it off last night.
Light comedy. A wonderful cast through and through. Good to the last drop. (Okay, that's probably too old a reference.)
Koizumi was wonderful as an OL in her mid thirties, slightly, politely, pleasantly, dazed by all the odd turns her life started taking once the show started.
And Yanagiba Toshiro was a great, comic, stand up guy/bumpkin. He's been typecast as the tough, tight assed, demi-Jack Web/Joe Friday character he played in "Odoru daisousassen". But the guy was terrific! _________________

BMW
I'd love to.
I actually liked My Mother the Car but I think that's because I was a fan of the Ann Southern show. (It was always on in reruns when I was faking sick to cut school. Great associations.)
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis... What can I say? Maynard G Krebs was my favorite TV character. (R.I.P.) And I still have a crush on Tuesday Weld. -- By the way, it was a terrific movie before becoming a TV show.
As for The Thunderbirds... I always thought that one was just dopey.
For rock'em sock'em adventure, Commando Cody was my guy.[/i] _________________

I was just talking about that series the other day. I was really little but I loved it!!
Well Im on ep 9 of Gakkou No Sensei now. Managed to stay awake a few hours.
In some ways its a typical student teacher show.
But the two main characters are a bit off beat. Both actors do a good job.
Yuko Takeuchi even steps out of her standard Angel On Earth role.
And Dohmoto is amusing.
Ive enjoyed it so far.

Hmmm. Now the hard part. Picking out a series to follow "Rennai kekkon no housoku"
I guess I'll just close my eyes, hold my nose, grab whatever's at the top of the to watch spindle, and hope for the best.

@ dashX
Loved your Yuko website/shrine!
Looks beautiful and very professional. Do you mind me asking where you learned how?
I see her promotion company is into her Angel On Earth image too. _________________

oh thanks alot for visiting the website glad you like it..heehee trying to get more ppl mad over her like how bwracer did with ryoko-san. And to answer your question, I learnt how to do it over the past months (although been doing designing for a while now) and the website was both a shrine and a practice for me=)
anyway yah i notice her recent shows has mostly been her in the perfect girl role (cept for perhaps The Gumpy Gene) really hoping she does another tomboy role like in Lunch Queen and Gakkou no Sensei. _________________
Yesterday, I saw densha otoko subbed by walle.
I also watch sekai chuushin de (I am waiting for the last episode. Aaah, I cried a lot , I really like this dorama)
And I will watch epidode 2 from fire boys now.
( yes, I like yamada takayuki haha XD)
