happygirl81,
There is a simple solution to playing any region-coded DVD on your laptop or desktop PC.
Even if you understand almost nothing about computers, you do understand a little, because you are able to use your laptop (or desktop) to connect to the Internet, where you are posting on this thread.
That will start a download of the DVD43 software to your computer (after you click the OK button on the popup box that appears).
Write down the location (the folder or directory) where the DVD43.setup.exe software program is being installed.
The download should be pretty fast. This is a small program in size, which is nice, because it takes up very little space on your hard disk.
After the DVD43.setup.exe software program is installed on your computer, you then double-click the icon for the DVD43.setup.exe, which you will find in the folder or directory where you installed it.
That lets you install the DVD43 program itself, which is very simple to install.
Then, you insert a DVD movie in your computer's DVD drive, and after a very short time, a green smiley face should appear in the bottom right corner of your PC (that area is part of the taskbar).
The green smiley face is an indicator/signal that DVD43 has made the DVD playable in your PC.
You don't have to understand anything about DVD43, because it automatically does all the work for you, once it is installed.
It is a free program, very easy to download and install, and very easy to use.
If you want to look for and buy a region-free DVD player, that's entirely up to you.
But you can save yourself some money by using the free DVD43 program, which works very well with almost all DVD region-coded disks.

yeah, I was going to say that. Buy the region free players in any place where they sell pirated DVD's. hahaha. Plus its better to watch Aya on TV rather than your monitor. _________________
Not sure if anyone's noticed but it seems that she's becoming less popular at the international level. It's a pity subbers are less motivated to sub her dramas nowadays...Shimokita Sundays took quite a while to finish then Abarenbo Mama and Hokaben are on indefinite hiatus; others like Ri Kouran were never touched!!
In any case, I still support her 100%. I still listen to her songs most and although I've bought all her albums, I'm currently on a hunt for her singles and perhaps DVDs as well as her PBs
Edit: Just placed an order on YesAsia for her natural PB
I hope she's still quite popular in Japan at least; a friend of mine doing JET at the moment claims her ads are like ubiquitous over there, you simply can't avoid her, from phone booths to buses, EVERYWHERE _________________

From what i've heard and seen, the past couple Aya dramas just weren't as good as her other well known ones. It could be high expectations, or just simply the dramas are all too similar in a way. Like the character development or character traits. In case of Shimokita Sundays....i just didn't like the drama after viewing some episodes of it
Though, that's just me.
I honestly want to see Aya tackle another role that we just wouldn't expect, like the Tsubasa one _________________

There's something I must affirm or I'll regret it my whole life ....
ABARENBOU MAMA AND HOKABEN ARE IN MY OPINION TWO OF THE BEST DRAMAS AYA HAS EVER STARRED IN ! EACH OF THEM HAS AN ORIGINAL IDEA AND SHOW 2 COMPLETE DIFFERENT SIDES OF UETO-CHAN'S ACTING ! AND THEY ARE TOUCHING AND CLEVER !
YES, IT'S A PITY THAT THE ENGLISH SUBS HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO NEWLY-FORMED FRAGILE FANSUBS, MOREOVER WITH VERY FEW PEOPLE IN IT. I GUESS, BY STATE OF POLITENESS, NO EXPERIENCED GROUP DARES TO TAKE THOSE PROJECT UNDER THEIR WINGS, BUT I DO NOT DOUBT THAT MANY PEOPLE OVERSEAS ARE ACHING BY THE BIG DELAY. IN COMPARISON, THE CHINESE FANSUBS WERE DONE BY THE WEEK THAT FOLLOWS THE RAW TORRENT.
BUT AGAIn, I DO NOT DOUBT OF THE FAITH AND HEARTFUL FEELING OF THE OVERSEAS FANS LIKE ME.
On a side note, I have to correct irish_robz about RI Kouran : THERE ARE ENGLISH SOFTSUBS FOR RI KOURAN ! However, WACHIGAIYA ITOSATO has never been subbed, even in chinese, because it seems no one outside Japan has enough knowledge in History to understand it LOL.

RI KOURAN ENGLISH SOFT SUBS :
Courtesy of Quashlo for translating, typesetting ... everything except Quality Check.
Quality Check was done by Gloomy (+++), Jinzoaya (+++), Candyman808 and myself. That was a year ago.
Enjoy this Drama ! It's very good but not excellent, although Ueto-chan's acting is neat ! At least you'll get a bit of general knowledge ! And you'll develop a good sense of chinese dressing art !

Okay, my time in this forum has ended. I am now mainly active on http://bbs.uetoayafans.com and http://thisiskawaii.com
BUT
when this thread witnesses a great change, or when I can't stand something,
IF
I have kept an eye on this thread from time to time,
I will reveal myself.
Ueto-chan no tameni.
However,
what I can affirm to you,
is that in these distant forums,
Aya Ueto is still beloved by her fans.
More than ever.
And it's not as if we don't have any news to keep us alive Far from it . =) Aaaaah mataku *sigh* you guys have no idea of what you miss.
Long life to this thread though. It's a good witness of our love in the past years. There is no comparable place on the internet to this thread. Well there is actually no comparable place either for TISK (thisiskawaii) and UAFC (bbs.uetoayafans.com).
Aya Ueto to play "Japanese Paris Hilton"
Sun, August 10, 2008 (5:38pm EDT)
This fall, Fuji TV is producing a drama series called "Celeb to Daihinmin," a romantic comedy starring Aya Ueto and Yusuke Kamiji. Ueto's role is said to be inspired by American celebrity Paris Hilton.
The story revolves around Alice Hirata (Ueto), the spoiled and naive daughter of a wealthy hotel magnate. On the other hand, Kamiji plays an impoverished widower raising three children. Between the two contrasting characters, romance is born.
In charge of the drama are producer Hiroyuki Goto and director Hidetomo Matsuda, who both worked on the popular "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e" television series. Fuji TV will broadcast "Celeb to Daihinmin" at 9:00pm on Tuesdays, starting in October.
