Teppei-kun is back!!!!! thanks jade_frosts for the info... :yay:

Erm there's no Teppei if you're referring to Teppei from WaT, only Wentz Eiji. Teppei here is the name of the character Kimutaku's acting as in Karei naru Ichizoku.

that's exactly what I reffering too .. sort of remind me of Teppei-kun from Love Generation as Kimutaku's character ...

[Lady Zhuge]

Thanks for the updates, jade. Akuma ga Karite Fue ga Naru and Byakkotai interest me the most.

[strawberry]

I wonder when will be the earliest we would get to see them subbed?

HYD2 JAN 5th! 2 hour special.

[strawberry]

I just saw the CM for Nino's new drama with Yoko and Pi's Byakkotai promos. Both shows looked good....

If you understand Chinese, you'll be able to watch them all 'cos the fansub groups are really dedicated. I always marvel at their ability to translate dramas 1-2 days after they are aired in Japan. Still, sometimes, they don't do it fast enough and I have to contend myself with watching the unsubtitled versions to satisfy my curiosity and impatience.

I think I'm only gonna follow Nodame Cantabile. Don't really fancy the fall lineup. I'm hoping for a better one in winter, since it generally packs more impressive storylines and stars.

Hi Jadefrost, could you PM me where to get these fansubs? Thanks!

Tks Jade-Frosts ! I like Tamayama Tetsuji and Kashii Yu . I've always waited for a Tamayama's drama after "Brother Beat" . I hope Kashii Yu will become big after My Boss, My Hero . I hope this one will be good.

[tinac]

Has anyone watch 'My Brother, My boss'? Is it good??

[Lady Zhuge]

Has anyone watch 'My Brother, My boss'? Is it good??

Is that the same as My Boss My Hero? I've been meaning to watch that 'cause I hear it's very good.

[strawberry]

My boss my hero is very good? that's the one starring Nagase. Tegoshi and Koki?

[Lady Zhuge]

My boss my hero is very good? that's the one starring Nagase. Tegoshi and Koki?

Yep, that's the one.

[strawberry]

Yep, that's the one.

I didn't know that it was good...I might get that then.

[Kara]

My Boss My Hero is very very good. At least the first half is very very funny, particularly the first episode. Like all comedies it goes down from there but most people, including me, still liked the characters enough to watch it to the end. Nagase Tomoya, the main actor is totally awesome and the ending song by Tokio 'Sorafune' is very catchy. Watch it.

[Kara]

On another note, Midnight March sounds very very interesting. I like the cast and the story seems good. This might turn out to be a good series. But to wait until april is a little annoying...
