acute septicemia is not the same as COVID-19, As far as pressure- Yes he felt pressure to not go to the hospital…
It is vital that misinformation not be disseminated - According to the www.global-sepsis-alliance.org
'The presently accepted definition of sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dys-regulated host response to infection. From information presently available on clinical cases of COVID-19, it appears that a low percentage of COVID-19 infections can result in such organ dysfunction and death." To repeat it can be the end-stage to COVID-19 for a few.
I need the writing to be top-notch. The narrative to take unexpected turns. Character development cannot be forsaken. As for romance, in needs to be realistic. Too many have left me thinking that certain pairings would never happen in the real world. I suspect box office names trump over chemistry and authenticity. ( I swear if I see Takeru Satoh an immature girl barely out of her teens I am going to scream so loud you will hear me in Asia, ) Art imitates life and am aware of the issues with Japanese men running away from relationships in droves , they could make it an Olympic sport! How sad is this? I think it needs to make a comeback in order to remind people what they are missing out on. Life is challenging enough and we ought to seek respite from it when we can. On another note, as much as we say we don't care for certain formulas being used ad nauseum, that is what makes them un-American and EXACTLY why Western audiences enjoy them so much. I shudder at the thought of Asian countries making movies through an American lens. No thank you! Frankly they need to set the bar higher than that when you consider the average American movie is made targeting males in their teens to early twenties. To call a spade a spade, most of the schlock coming out of Hollywood now is dumbed down for American audiences. (Again remember their target demographic...) I am reminded of a story of an Irish comedy show that wanted to create an American version. The outcry was swift and loud. People actually protested the notion of diluting one of the funniest comedies ever created. And the Religious Right would have had a fit over the Irish sensibilities that yes one can indeed question one's religion. Needless to say it never got made. As funny as Steve Martin might be, he's no Dermot Morgan. The same goes for trying to convert British comedies to American ones when British humour just does not translate that easily or that well. So my hope lies with the Asians doing what they know best - themselves and keep the American narrative on the shelf!

haha, aw, thanks! I haven't actually been writing for a while but I've been considering writing an (updated) article…
His birthday is coming up-since I cannot darken his doorway, where is the best place to send wishes? Something about Sugar rings a bell... BTW I just discovered Kamenashi Kazuya I swear he has to be his cousin at least!
I am beginning to think the sexy dork is a common male archetype in Japan! Not that I am complaining. Thank you so much for creating this page. I find him very enigmatic at present, so anything to lessen the mystery that surrounds him I appreciate. Keep up the good work!
I was not trying to convince you to watch it, believe me! And you do not have to. I found it gut-wrenchingly sad and not for everybody. I know how you feel - there is a very, very, very popular actor whom I find well, meh! And you could not convince me to sample his dramas. Sorry no names! ?
Hello, ep 1, I don't remember the pregnant lady paid him, did she? I don't think he's a prostitute, he just fascinates…
Bear with me because I am going to have to wing this because I just cannot watch this gut-wrenching drama again. So I have to go on memory. The young girl he took to a ‘hotel ‘ via boat whom he left oh shore learned to value herself and her sexuality more and abandoned the nonsense of losing her virginity for the sake of it. The older woman on the bicycle was having difficulty moving on after the death of her husband and could not bear to part with anything of his. Post Junichi she is able to finally sell his books and seems to be coping so much better and appreciates the importance of living in the moment and not on the past.
The last young lady learn that despite insecurity she could indeed fend for herself and be independent.
The lady with the hole in the ground I am drawing a blank on as memory fails me. The pregnant yoga teacher was desperate for acknowledgement form her husband that there was indeed a little person on the way,. Junichi validated both her and her child to be which made living with her daft husband a bit easier.
Gosh the other two I do not even remember who they were! If they come back to me I will add them to the list. So he helped them all in subtle ways by lifting them out of their particular negative and hurtful mindsets. The other theme of this drama is that humans will go where they have to , to get their needs met when in crisis mode, with not much thought to the consequences. Judging them serves no purpose as we are not in their shoes. We just need to witness how their choices came about.

‘And it's not like he changed their life or anything, gave them epiphany about something in their life,’. Perhaps a re-watch is in order. He does prove to be a positive catalyst in every female’ s life he touches! That is the crux of the entire drama-not the sex.
Yeah I first started writing this when it was just "Wuhan Pnuemonia" and I missed that when scanning it back to…
They were interviewed about it and they decided to not do anything. Their beer is that popular that it probably will boost sales come to think of it! Un cerveza pour favor! ?
May they both rest in peace.
