Thanks, jade. I watched that commercal when ryo-x-pi posted the same link on page 8, but I think I'll watch it again since Takashi is just so darn cute in it.
So first Nagasawa Masami stars in a movie with Takashi and now they're in an upcoming fall tanpatsu drama together:
Ganges Gawa de Butterfly.
It's quite unfortunate, but Tokkyu Tanaka San Go garnered dismal ratings all season, finishing with an average of 8.8%. I think it's better than Bambino! and Proposal Daisakusen, and honestly it's not just 'cause I'm a Takashi fan. I'm glad I didn't stop watching after the first couple of iffy episodes. It's funny, not overly mushy, and has decent character development. Even Koki managed to win me over with his portrayal of the overconfident, but kind-hearted and happy-go-lucky Tanaka. I like the supporting cast too, especially Takashi's Hanagata and Akiyama Ryuji's Momoyama. The second to last episode started tailing downwards a bit, but hopefully the final episode will end on a high note.
