It is not easy for me to give 10 out of 10 for a drama but this is definitely 10 out of 10 for everything. I watched this drama when I was 5/6 years old? I still remember the storyline, song, people. When it finished I wanted to watch it again and I was glad it broadcast it on TV again for me.

The actors and actress had chemistry. The is a new case in each episode or in two episodes. Each episode is good to watch and it gets better. I never could guess who the murderer is until the very end. This was my favourite japanese series as a kid and I have got to say that it is still is. Don't get put off because of how old this series is. It is a great series!

Definitely recommend it to people who loves Detective series. Before Galileo, BOSS etc there was the amazing detective Kindaichi!

I am a Kindaichi fan. Actually. I just like the original Kindiaichi and I have not watched the other seasons because I didn't think the other seem to have that aura of the characters that the original actors, Domoto Tsuyoshi and Tomosaka Rie had. I did try one/two episode of Matsumoto Jun and Naitou Takashi but Matsumoto played it really coolly and the girl seemed clingy.

I watched a bit of Kamenashi Kazuya and Ueno Juri and he did make him more playful but his appearance doesn't really match the Kindaichi description.

Anyway, this is the only Kindaichi that I watched that is not the original and I watched it the whole way through. I am very impressed with Yamada Ryosuke and Kawaguchi Haruna but especially Yamada Ryosuke since he reminds me so much of Domoto Tsuyoshi in terms of acting Kindaichi (he really did his homework and must have watched it a few times himeself) Apart from looking a little bit chubbier his voice sounds like him. Kawaguchi Haruna also did a good job.

The story is your usual Kindaichi which usually (well I usually) do not know the killer until towards the end plus it is modernised.
I definitely recommend this to the Kindaichi fans.
