I recommend Hana Yori Dango 1 & 2 (i showed it to my friends and they all love it), Attention Please, Haruka17 (original story about Japanese idols), Anna-san no Omame (just because the 'Mitai naaaa' is a legend) and the drama i'm currently watching : LIFE !!
This drama is awesome. It talks about ijime and unfairness. But it's not subtitled yet ... so you jsut can find the RAW version on Veoh ... and it's not finished either ... waiting for the 8th episode [/b]
i heard this drama is so funny, it makes u wanna cry.. is that true? any comment... i'm on my way downloading ep.1 and 2.. but it still have a long way to finish because.. (>_<) i've got a 10GB Ugly betty ahead to download.... ahhh...
So... what's your comment about YANKUMI's drama? hehe...
Nakama Yukie is so into the Yankumi character... _________________

LOL, the only one I've seen from that list is Orange Days.
wow, only Orange Days and Beautiful Life for me and Ive seen probably 40 jdramas. Would those be the top 25 tear-jerkers/emotional rollercoaster dramas? This would explain the list imo.... _________________

Right on.
A movie would be okay... It's short term.
But 11 episodes of grief? Uh-uh.
Life has some joy in it.
*gawks at avatar*
yeah man...i don't gravitate toward the severe dramas these days, even though i have them downloaded.....i have to be in a particular mood to endeavor watching them to be honest.
i totally feel you about watching a movie-length type thang...cuz it's more manageable per se....
hmmm.....you still gotta try watching tony takatani!

Speaking as a guy who does not like tear jerkers, but who has seen 14 of the shows on that list (Man, I have no standards), I have to say... I coudn't get through tony takatani!.
It was on cable last week, so I gave it my best try. They don't put that many Japanese films with subs on cable, so I try to take advantage of whatever is out there. But that movie set some new standards for, dull.
I'm not saying you're wrong, Tu_trik. Maybe if I'd been able to watch all of it I might have seen something in it that was worthwhile. But that dull depressing pace just beat me. _________________

Nah, I can appreciate your opinion..it's a very slow deliberate pace....it does try one's patience or attention span. Given the fact the movie is an adaptation of one of the fabled Murakami's short stories...
I liked it but it's not something that has replay value.
