Iryu - [Team Medical Dragon]

[Suet Seung]

I have the Iryu OST but they don't seem to have that song I was looking for which is Blue Dragon on the track but its only instrumental. You know that song they kept playing over and over again....goes like "If you run away I'll follow you..." The singer she is really incomprehensible...I could only pick up parts of what she was singing. But that song stuck in my head.

Yeah the lyrics sounded incomprehensible and weird partly because of the pronunciation I suppose but anyhow the song you're talking about is Aesthetic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frR6eWBEcQs

I love the violin bit.

Oh, Thanks! I guess I was looking at the wrong track. So it is on the OST( Track 20), but parts of the melody is used in Blue Dragon, so I thought. Yeah, I like the violin too.

Is the lyrics available? Because I always wanted to know what the heck she was singing. Is this sung by Japanese singer?

Never mind...just saw the video u posted.

Yes, Sekiyama Aika. I'm not familiar with her.

The lyrics don't quite make sense but I suppose that might be expected since it's a Japanese songwriter. It's quite a lovely, yet haunting melody still.

Aesthetic
Longing for you day and in dream
I'm hoping you are here and leading my way
You steers my road anytime I need
If you walk away, I will follow you

Trying my life
With your sacred gifts you gave to me
I won’t vain and succeed it as your precious soul
Holding your hand
And I'm walking through the all of the world
Carrying your wish like the Venus in the dim sky

Haha...Thanks..I found they played the lyrics in the video you posted.
Maybe it's better off without lyrics. The OST is really nice, reminds me of the drama. I'm so happy when that old doctor was sent off to Thailand, lol, it was sooo good, its like his face fell flat on the floor.

Another thing, I was hoping they said something about Ryutaro's dragon scar on his back like its origins but they never did.

I thought they did in one of the middle episodes. Miki said he got it while trying to save a patient in a fire during NGO in third world country.

I love those lyrics!

Really? I must've missed it. If you remember what episode, please tell me.

[Nefertari]

I can't pinpoint it. I'd say 3 or 4, Miki told Dr Kato in the operating theatre while watching Asada in operation.

I realised I forgot to put up the last episode!


Scenes from Ep11:

Introduction:
Based on the popular manga of the same name that was serialised in Shogakukan's Big Comic Superior, Iryu first aired from April to June 2006.

The drama garnered favourable reviews for Sakaguchi Kenji's role as the gifted surgeon, Asada Ryutaro, its depiction of real problems, and the overwhelming pace on an unprecedented scale in a human drama. A sequel to Iryu ~ Team Medical Dragon has been scheduled for broadcast this fall.

Asada Ryutaro once led a world-class critical medical care team called "Medical Dragon" in a refugee camp. He is later brought into a university hospital, battling the tyranny within the medical establishment, while working with his Team Dragon members to ensure the success of the Batista operation, a heart surgery that demands superior skills and techniques.

In Iryu 2, Asada wages a new battle against Japan's medical care system.

The government has drafted legislation to tackle the recent inflation of medical expenses. It is now the era in which hospitals will go bankrupt if they are not independently run. At the same time, hospital mergers and takeovers are also taking place.

In addition, the obstetrics and pediatrics departments are being closed in succession, and there are inadequate doctors in the region - issues that are closely related to these hospital management problems. Now, hospitals, like the average corporation, face collapse if they are not profitable.

Cast:
Sakaguchi Kenji as Asada Ryutaro
Koike Teppei as Ijyuuin Noboru
Sasaki Kuranosuke as Fujiyoshi Keisuke
Kitamura Kazuki as Kirishima Gunji
Abe Sadayo as Arase Monji
Mizukawa Asami as Satohara Miki
Natsuki Mari as Kito Shoko
Kishibe Ittoku as Noguchi Takeo
Itao Itsuji as Professor Inoue
Uchida Yuki as Kataoka Kazumi
Otsuka Nene as Kodaka Nanami
Sato Jiro as Matsudaira Kotaro
Shiga Kotaro as Zenda Hideki

A Japanese woman suffered a miscarriage on an ambulance after being turned away by 8 hospitals because they didn't have staff to cope with another patient. Timely time for Iryu to tackle such issues.

The first episode will be a two and a half hour long special. Guest stars include Ryo and Tanaka Minoru.

[Suet Seung]

Can anyone tell me why Miki let Ryutaro leave by himself? I wasn't sure but the situation was certainly different than before.

[maysapaw]

oh my goodness! Iryu 2!....

when is this showing? have to grab a copy of this as soon as this comes out

It will start showing in Japan from 11 October.

Can anyone tell me why Miki let Ryutaro leave by himself? I wasn't sure but the situation was certainly different than before.

I gather it's because Miki wants Ryutaro to experience a new beginning all by himself. She's been with him as he was down, now that he's back to himself, she probably letting him reach a new peak on his own.

[jade_frosts]

I suddenly recalled something. Wasn't Professor Noguchi banished to one of the affiliate hospitals in Thailand? Would his reappearance in Iryu 2 then mean that he redeemed himself and is back to create more trouble?

R&B singer Ai will sing the theme song for Iryu 2 backed by a group of six gospel singers. Titled "One", the ballad goes on sale on 7 November. She also sang the theme song, "Believe", for Iryu's first season.

[jade_frosts]

The press conference for Iryu 2 was held today. Lead actor Sakaguchi Kenji was reportedly aloof and responded with the answer "Nothing special" when posed with questions such as "What's the highlight of the drama?" "What about the episode that's currently being shot?"

I'll update when more news is made available.

In other news, the cast of Iryu 2, Galileo, SP, Swan no Baka, Abarenbou Mama will appear in the Waratte Iitomo 2007 Autumn Special tonight from 9.00 - 11.33 p.m. to promote their dramas.

Frankly, that was a far cry from the kind of behavior I expect from him..he seems like a really nice guy...
