    Haha think I'm super slow in watching jap dramas even though I've dl it long time...... I'm watching Dream Again with Takashi Sorimachi & Ai Kato. No chemistry between the two but well just continue for Takashi's sake. Just started on Last Friends too, gotta say it probably the best jap drama in 2008. I'm impressed with Ueno Juri's performance in LF plus, the opening is very nice which matches Hikki's song..

    since watching Nino in Ryuusei, I track down his old dorama and so far I saw Stand Up! and Yasashi Jinkan. Next hopefully Yamada Tarou and Haikei, Chichiue Sama ... and thanks to Ryo-chan's performance in Last Friend, I really appreciate his acting, I hope he will shine more in the future.

    I'm following Triangle from this season ... and Hissatsu Shigotonin. Not too sure about the rest. But it doesn't quite look like a good winter lineup contrary to the usual trend in previous years.

    I just watch the first episode of Voice, my only reason for watching, okay, my two reasons for watching are Eita and Toma It's a pretty good first episode, forensic pathology mixed with a bit of detective work.

    watching Triangle = the first ep. is amazing, stella cast, great pilot ep. will cont. to watch on.
    waiting for Money Crazy = how can you resist Matsuyama Kenichi ?
    thinking about Kami no Shizuku = just because I want to see Kame, even though I know his Jdoramas aren't good (except for Nobuta wo Produce)

    yah, Voice is decent, I like Eita and Ishihara Satomi. I'm glad they casted her for the role instead of Maki or Erika Toda. I think Satomi is one of the cutest young Japanese actress, and she acts well. First ep. of Voice is not bad.

    I'm planning to watch Voice, QED and Uta no Oniisan this season. I was going to watch Triangle too, but haven't got a chance to get it yet. And Kame's new drama look interesting we'll see.

    in the mean time I still need to find time to watch Bloody Monday. Also watching Kuitan hehehehehee.. greedy heh?

    Anyone see Marathon SP, where Ninomiya play as autism marathon runner? very good acting and story line, I cried watching most part. Highly recommended if you like One Litre of Tears.

    Voice is ok, but just that, ok. It's just a ikimen drama, with no real interaction about the characters.

    Triangle is really cool. Ryoko is still really cute, good music, nice long arc, good mystery

    I have seen NIno's SP before..very touching..I like it better than this other show he acted
    in as a cancer patient. his portrayal of an autistic boy was very convincing.,,,movements and everything

    that's true. especially his eyes, he doesn't seems to care whether he still look cool or not (being an idol, you know). I haven't see the other one, I will soon.

    Anyway, I just finished wacth Uta no Oniisan with Ohno Satoshi, I love it! this role and character suits him more than Maou. It's so Ohno (I've been watching their tv show such as Himitsu no Arashi and Arashi Shukudai kun, so I sort of see the real Arashi) I really look forward and put a lot of expectation on this show. Ohno is very convincing as a young man with no dream and obsession, being negative and blaming things to everything and everyone but him. I love the way he potray Kenta, very good.

    aahhh reading auroragb comment, I really want to see Ryoko again... maybe I should.

    I feel that Ohno could perhaps be a better actor than Nino....Arashi is a down to earth bunch...I don't think they are self-conscious of being kakoii and such...that's one of the reasons why they are popular..

    Kamen Rider Agito 2001, the BEST Heisei Rider series so far from what I'm seeing.

    I watched Ep1 of Kiina. It was so boring I wanted to drop it 30 mins into the drama. And I don't like the characterisation of the heroine. It's so overdone. I don't care for the supporting characters. The mystery wasn't gripping and the transition between the scenes and attempts at humour didn't work out well. Not going to struggle through this one.

    Triangle isn't great but at least it's better than this.
