Atashinchi no Danshi

Drooling over the new drama right now. In fact, it still airing in Japan (if I am not mistaken at this current). The best thing about this drama is that, the cast. It seem that, almost all of the main "chara" (character), is the one that I've seen before in other Jdrama;



Maki Horikita
-Nobuta wo Produce
-Teppan girl
-Kurosagi
-Hana Kimi (Hanazakari no Kimi Tachi e)

Mukai Osamu

-Honey & Clover (Hachimitsu to Clover)
-Nodame Cantabile




Yusuke Yamamoto
-Hana Kimi




Koji Seto
-Kamen Rider Kiva

Well, the other chara is still unfamiliar with me. In times, mabe.... So, I've just watched the first episode. And it is awesome. We, as the audience keep on comparing the other Jdrama tha we've watched and still looking for the gist of the Jdrama that can make us be apart of the addiction. In my opinion, instead of the chara the storyline is what making me stuck infront of the laptop to watch the AnD.

Teaser: Chisato (played by Maki), who lost her mother at a young age due to sickness had to spent her youth trying to escape from the huge debt her father left her, and her battle with the repossessors unfolded every night.

However, her life changed after meeting one man named Shinzo, changing her views on the meaning of "family." Shinzo comes from a rich family tracing back to the Edo period, and he adopted six good-looking sons (including Mukai, Koji and Yusuke) with the hope of one becoming his successor, but all of them have strange personalities.

Shinzo promises to free Chisato from her debt if she marries him and becomes the mother of his sons. However, a life with these six guys under one roof will not go smoothly

Though it seem like a heavy drama, but no, it wasn't. AnD is a comdey drama that can be enjoyed by anyone (maybe). It is so different in that sense with the other that I've watched before.

p/s: a must-watch Jdrama for the J-addicts.

Hanazakari Kimi No Tachi e (Hana Kimi)

(This post was written on 14th November, Friday)

I’ve just done watching one of the best J-Dorama I’ve ever seen in my whole life. Enthusiast!

Some rough review about this J-Dorama, it was such similar to those that I watched previously since my “High-School” days; that is about High-School Students in a High-School scenario. Such a typical scene that we’ve been served, the same method and that almost the same theme that the director trying to bring across to the audience. I’m not trying to say that it was such a lame and boring ways of delivering it, because it happens to be that it always worked.

Just look at Waterboys 2, Proposal DaisakusenNobuta wo Produce, (Operation Love) and they were all similar when it comes to the “some kind of what we called cliché’ High School Phenomena”- The one that I observed from my watching of the J-dorama that are similar to one another :

1. The main character (85% of all the J-dorama that I watched) was a new student from other schools or country.
2. The main character (60%) finds it is hard to get along with the new environment. Culture-Shocked.
3. The one that they oppose the biggest is actually their besto (best friend/lover) at the end of the story (80%).
4. There was some sort of a status-quo/click among the community (82%).
5. The Hero was among cool guy that shut a lot. (86%) Exception for PD, Yamapi has the biggest mouth compared to the others.
6. Undeniable, they (82%) put some scene regarding on special occasion or festive as “where the magic begins”.
7. The Hero was not so family-oriented person at the beginning. They fought the most with their father rather than their Mom as if the father is a heart-stoned person (74%).

Other than almost negative criticism (of the 7 similarities listed above), all of them were also similar to one another regarding on:

1. The OST (Of Sound-Track) of the Drama that is too much of awesomeness to handle with. (100% Similar and Proven) Such as Niji Mou Hitotsu No Natsu-Fukuyama Masaharu of Waterboys 2, Yume oi Runner & Ashita Hareru Kana of Proposal Daisakusen, Peach & Ikenai Taiyou of Hana Kimi and others.
2. The ending (100% true and similar) which make me fall into tears no matter what the ending looks like.
3. The after-watching symptom, me calling, talking and promoting to others especially Amal-Desu and Rtain about what’ve I watched minutes after the J-Dorama ends. Consider now was a part of it. (100% happened).

Back to the main topic, Hana Kimi was the coolest J-Dorama ever. As what that I’ve mentioned earlier. This story is new on the board, the struggle of a girl, Ashiya Mizuki (by Maki Horikita) trying to heal the past incidence that caught Sano into a gang fight which injured him hoping that he will participate again at the athletics tournament with full of joy. The twist is that how Ashiya Mizuki become an impostor in a sense of she’s pretending to be a boy physically so that she will get closer to Sano in the all-boys school.

This J-dorama is full of laughter especially when it comes to Nakatsu roles as a boy that struggling himself to find his true orientation, his homosexuality.

The spices of the J-Dorama such as Midori 4, The 3 different dorms (Judo, Athletic and theater) indicates the 3 different status-quo, the doctor and the photographer and a lot of competition/celebration/festivals around sure does sweeten things up. I am really enjoyed watching each episode with lots of excitement.

This is one of the J-Dorama that you should not miss. Watch it and it sure will brighten your days with a glimpse of a smile. I did.

“J-Dorama all the way”

p/s: Looking forward to see other NEW J-Dorama especially the one that starring by Ryu Nishikido of NewS.

Nobuta Wo Produce

I have just finished watching this, Nobuta Wo Produce (The MakeOver) Jdorama.. Awesomeness. Actually, before posting this post, I have just thinking of posting a review about another Jdorama which I'm fall into full of addiction, that is Proposal Daisakusen (Operation Love). Unfortunately, I haven't finish watching it (that is the special part.... Proposal Daisakusen sp), so I consider that post review might be extended for awhile.

Back to the main topic, Nobuta Wo Produce is another Jdorama that has its own storyline and full of morality value within. I mean like, I have watched a lot of Jdorama (which is likeable) and Nobuta was one of it. I would never felt bored on every episode shows.

Just as the beginning of watching Nobuta, I have sense the not-going-to-stop-from-watching kind of feeling. Which is good. The same feeling of watching Nodame Cantabile, Waterboys 2, and the most Proposal Daisakusen.

On the characters,
Kotani Nabuko (Maki Horikkita)
She played the characters so well. It seem like she already am in the situation of bully's victim and lonely kind of girl. Like her playing that characters and watching her progressing from one episode to the other. Argh......Awesomeness. It seem like she is a cute actress too even though you cannot tell it by watching Maki as Kotani at the first place.

Shūji Kiritani (Kazuya Kamenashi-Kat-tun)
He is one of the unnotice Jpop celebrity to my own personal view. Yet, he also ca act as well as singing. Although he is the main characters in this story, unfortunately I have to go with Maki being the main character. It is mainly because Maki was the one you looking for in the whole drama compared to Kazuya. Hehe.... but yet, Kazuya also plays the character succesfully. It making me felt like wanting to watch him more with another character in the other movies or Drama

Akira Kusano (Yamashita Tomohisa)
Like Yamapi playing the dumb guy. He is good. Wanting to say more about him in the upcoming review.



P/s: Instead of Veoh, could somebody tell me where is the other web that allow me to watch Proposal Daisakusen sp with subtitles (full version). I mean like even google and Youtube didn't have that PDsp with english subtitles. Help!
