Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge

I love Kame! I love Perfect Girl Evolution, the manga and the anime. There wasn't any reason not for me to catch this. I remembered telling everyone how excited I was over this show. It was slightly disappointing over the wrong casting of the characters, i know that its hard to find a perfect kyohei, but I still really enjoyed it!

Kame is amazing, but he is just not Takano Kyohei. As much as I love him, its just weird that he's kyohei. I'm not complaining, but the Kyohei in the manga is perfect. So perfect that he could not lead a proper life because of his looks. I really miss Kame and his dramas so much. (sigh, i love everything about him)


Oomasa Aya as Nakahara Sunako was surprisingly good. I seriously thought she would definitely not pull off the role after seeing her in Buzzer beat and mei chan no shitsuji. But she did amazingly great as Sunako.

Tegoshi Yuya as Yuki. He was plain gross. No offence to his fans, he was one of my favourites in NEWS. But he overdid it as Yuki.

Uchi Hiroki as Oda Takenaga. I'm upset over the fact that he was kicked out of NEWS, he's so handsome!



Sypnosis
Blessed with good looks, Takano Kyohei, a college student, is always suffering from the unreasonable behaviour of customers who want him and the sexual harassment of his store manager. Because of his hot temper, he loses his head on this occasion and is fired from his part-time job. Then one day, the glamorous owner, Ms Nakahara proposes, “I’ll give you free board-and-lodging if you can turn my niece, Sunako, into a lady!” Kyohei and Toyama Yukinojo, Oda Takenaga and Morii Ranmaru, the other guys living together in the same boarding house, are enthusiastic, but the person who appears before the four of them is a spooky girl whose hair covers her face and who loves horror and vampires. And so, their tumultuous communal life begins


Ratings: 8/10. Not amazing, but it gets high points for developing the romance between the two leads. ARHHH the kiss the kiss the kiss that you rarely see in jdrama.

Gokusen The Movie

I'm over and done with Gokusen. Forever and ever. I love the cast but hate the repetitive storyline, same music whenever Yankumi comes out to fight(must have been the 50th time)- its looks cheesier than a power ranger fight.

How can something this cheesy survive for 3 seasons and 1 movie? Only one thing- the cast. The cute johnny boys. and nothing else. I'm not going to bother about the storyline, because its all the same.

But, here's the yummy people who appeared in the movie.

Firstly, its KAME. the main reason why i'm keen.

Kazuya Kamenashi as Ryu Odagiri. (He was soooo hot!! not much acting required though. aish.)

and the rest from SEASON 2

• Teppei Koike as Keita Takeda (used to think he was really cute.. but didnt feel anything for him)
  
• Mokomichi Hayami as Hikaru Tsuchiya (robot main guy in absolute bf)
  
• Keisuke Koide as Kosuke Hyuga (handsome dude from rookies, some robot movie)

SEASON 3

• Yuya Takaki as Yamato Ogata (a johnny boy from say hey. darn cute- reminds me of jin!)
  
• Haruma Miura as Ren Kazama ( u'll definately know him. the amazing rising young star- bloody monday)

SEASON 1 (really brief)

• Shun Oguri (小栗 旬) as "Uchi" / Haruhiko Uchiyama (yea, u'll kno him)
  
• Hiroki Narimiya as Takeshi Noda (AIGOO! I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW HIM! I HAD NO IDEA HE WAS IN SEASON 1!!!!!)

And u can't forget there's going to be a new class 3D right?

too bad there was only 1 cute one.

Yuta Tamamori
pardon the wiki photo. he looked like a bad-ass yamapi in the movie. and, expectedly, he's a johnny boy.

Ratings: 6.5/10 surprisingly watchable. Though fastforward rate was 5/10.

Kami no Shizuku

Kami no Shizuku is all about wine. Nothing else, just wine. Main reason for watching this, KAME. he's gained abit of weight over the years and he looked really good in here!

The cast was pretty unknown. So I'm not going to talk about the cast.

Sypnosis: (credits- wiki)
The story revolves around Kanzuki Shizuku, a young man who was estranged from his father, a world-famous wine critic. When his father passed away, he left behind a wine collection worth a fortune, but in order to inherit it, Shizuku must solve a series of puzzles left by his father to identify 6 wines. His competitor was Tomine Issei, a prominent wine critic, whom his father adopted before his death.

Sounds pretty interesting, but it got really boring after the first two episodes. It's more of like a repetition and it's easy to predict what might happen next.

I'll keep this short because there's really nothing I could talk about. It's all about wine. Okay, there's slight romance but the last part was darn ackward.


Ratings: 5/10 Watch if only you really like Kame.

MR BRAIN

My first drama with Kimura Takuya. I know he's really popular and despite watching so many Japanese drama, this is seriously my first with him.

He's really good looking but he reminds me of Yamapi.

Sypnosis: (credits wiki)
Tsukumo Ryusuke is a quirky, yet brilliant neuroscientist working for the National Research Institute of Police Science. Wielding a unique perspective and psychology, Tsukumo tackles the nation's most baffling crimes and scandals, going head-to-head with the most brilliant and twisted criminal minds. But his eccentricities and poor social timing can also aggravate people and circumstances, further complicating matters.

Just think CSI in Japanese form. This show emphasises on the human brain and scientific stuff, so there wasn't a moment of boredom. (I did not fastforward!)

The best part of this drama was the appearance of SOOO MANY GUESTS.
Main cast- Hiro Mizushima

Guests- (I recognised alot of people, but i'll just mention the more popular ones)
Kame from Kat-tun
Gackt
Nakama Yukie (the Gokusen lady)


Once again, Hiro was disappointing. Kame looked abit strange. The guest appearance I was more shocked/pleased was Gackt. I'm not a fan of his music, but i'm still really pleased to see him in there.

Ratings: 9/10. A MUST WATCH.

Gokusen 2

I started watching this really old drama because I was waiting for the download of my newer dramas to complete and Gokusen2 had been lying around in my HD for the longest time and I wanted to watch the young Jin, Hiro, Kame.

SIGH. about Hiro....... He only spoke a line in the drama and sometimes I can't even see his head but his annoyingly bright green shirt he wears to school everyday.

Still, nothing to worry about, I have Jin and Kame. While watching this, i seriously couldn't decide who i like more. Kame was way too skinny then, Jin looked really good but he didn't shine much like Kame.

I'm sure you know how popular this show is. There are 3 seasons and now there's a movie coming out. wait, i think it's out already. But still, it was like a worse and lame version of Rookies. I know, Roookies is probably inspired from Gokusen, but I can't stand the music and the way yankumi unties her hair and removes her specs.




however, i'm looking forward to the movie hopeing it might be good. Kame is looking so damn hot these days!


Ratings: 5/10. did not even finish the finale.

Nobuta Wo Produce

The cast in Nobuta wo produce is pretty amazing. That aside, it was just a mediocre jdrama. Something was just missing in the plot. The really cool cast just didn't really fit very well in the bland plot for me.

Nobuta means pig in jap. It shows how this two popular guys in school secretly transforming Nobuko Kotani, nicknamed Nobuta for having no self-confidence and getting bullied in school.

Here, Maki Horikita acts as Nobuta, whom you might probably know from Hana Kimi. You could hardly see her face in the show because of her constantly looking at the ground and those annoying bangs. Being really mysterious and kind-hearted, Akira(Yamapi) fell for her.

Yes, Yamashita Tomohisa as Kusano Akira. I started this series because of him, however disappointed because initially I thought he wasn't the main lead. You guys would probably know him as the frontman of NEWS. HAHA, i used to have a crush on all of them (except one small eyed guy whom i cant remember his name- not masuda, another one). He was Theresa's (my sis) first love, but she can't really stand him nowsadays. Girls nowsadays, tsk, not loyal.

Back on track, he can't sing, but he's a pretty good actor. He acts goofy and gets drunk on soya milk (mamichi, he says). In actual fact, he's the macho-man kind so it's really funny to watch him acting cute doing his "NOBUTA POWER, ENTER!".

One more thing, I hate his hair here. Nothing suits him except black hair.

Shuji Kritani- Kamenashi Kazuya *grins wideeeeeeeeee* Leader of Kat-tun. Another top top top boy-band in Japan. Johnny boys ALWAYS do well. Before Nobuta, I've never seen and heard of him. Initially, he looks too girly and weird for me. But he grew on me and before I knew it, I was googling his images and listening to Kat-tun songs. He's really scrawny but hey, he's the sexiest man in jeans (japan). What's more, he's only 22(1986) and look what he's accomplished? Leader of Kat-tun despite being the youngest and acted in a string of drama. I bet exploding bank account judging the no.1s Kat-tun hit in Oricon charts and their record holding concerts in Dome Tokyo.

Akira: " NOBUTA POWER, ENTER!"

Ratings: Not a must-watch. 7 out of 10 for being draggy and mediocre plot.
