Thanks for the article, Jeaniessi. Although I'm not a big fan of horror things, your recommendations make me want to see some of them, like Chilling romance, or other comedies. Battle Royale is on my PTW list for so many times, but i'm still not in the mood for that. And White christmas sounds great, i will add it on my list.
I like the young boy on the last picture. not really scary, but not so cute...

Randomly found your name on the forum, and I really like it. Yamamoto is one of my fave too. it seems you haven't seen Atashinchi no danshi, where he is so cute. I recommend it. And you should give a try to Ouran high School Host Club too, no one else could have played Tamaki.

oh, i like that part in the Troublemaker PV when Ohno is pushed by Nino. Before knowing they were so good friends, I found it not very kind. Now I find it really funny. I enjoyed watching it (and especially Sakurai when dancing!!!!)
Cute Ohno around the barre!!!

Interesting article, which also shows that we can't get enough of that kind of story, though the end is so many times so predictable. My preference always go to the nice guy, like in HYD or Coffee Prince, and so many times i'm asking (myself): "but why can't she see that the good guy is far better?". So i'm ending the story whith a feeling of frustration (i also got that feeling when watching a drama which is not a romance but where the main leads would be so cute together, but nothing happens (like in most of j-dramas)).
Though i'm not sure I would be able to choose the good guy in real life... well, no, in fact, there is no chance I will have to choose, that's why I'm watching dramas, after all!!!

frist seen him in HYD, and liked his character. I really discovered him in Liar Game, where HE was the show, and did such a good job. Akiyama remains one of my favorite characters in j-dramas in general. In love shuffle, his character was once again one of those I prefered. Don't really like him in Tsuki no koibito, but didn't really like the show itself. And yes, I do agree about Ikigami (the movie is really good, I highly recommend it to everyone).
Matsuda is not the kind of actor I would stalk, but I'm never disppointed by his acting skills, and I enjoy watching him when I randomly find a drama with him. I don't think I would watch hard romanticker though, seems too dark for me...
To conclude, good job, Jeaniessi, I didn't exepct him to have such an actor's range.

I applied. seems this article aims his goal since many people want to apply. I wonder how the administrators will be able to make a choice if there is too much interested people...

lol! I really like this one. seems you will become him for me, as well as Skye is the Scheduler for everyone!!!

Ahhhhhh!!! you changed your avi!!! you seem to really enjoy Tumbling. I like this one, but the previous one was so funny!!!

you're right! he was good in this drama too. kinda reminds me of his character in Nobuta, though far less weird, but it was a heartwarming one. The whole show is really good, but some people can dislike it because of the SF side. one of the best J-romance i've seen so far. But Yamapi is not the main character.

indeed!

Yes PPOI was a short but funny one !!!

I was hoping too, but i'm not confident anymore. though it would be great to see Horikita and Yamapi once again together in a drama...

Very good choice for the first guide! Yamashita san is my favorite asian actor (and i don't really know why I added asian). i'm not able to say that an actor is good or not, but i'm pretty sure that this man, through his characters, always attracts me. I'd rather him in serious dramas, or on the contrary, in very funny ones. My favorite character is definetly Akira, but I really enjoyed him in Ending planner and Code Blue. And he was delightful in Kurosagi (which would have deserved a better ending, imo). I was disappointed by Buzzer beat, where I found him dull and uninteresting.
What I like the most about Yamashita san is his voice, especially in ending planner. I like to listen to him speaking quietly, it makes me feel so well. I like his music too, but to me he is a far better actor than a singer.

trying to do sport with my W.. (console)!!!

I totally agree with you about the importance of music in dramas. The first time I was aware of OST was with the Liar Game series (always so good). My favorite one is definetly Kageya OST (but what didn't I like in Kageya?) and ending song. I pretty like Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri OST too.
I do like a lot of ending songs, which will forever be associated with dramas in my heart, like Tsuki no Koibito (Love rain), Zettai Kareshi (though I didn't like this drama)or lately Strawberry on the Shortcake (Abba's songs don't have the same taste since this drama). At first listening, I sometimes find ending song uninteresting, but most of the time, I totally fall for it long before the end of the drama.
But I had totally forgotten about Hana Kimi's OST, and I barely remember it even with your links. strange...
ah! and I'm using Kagi no kakatta Heya ost while running in front of my TV...

Thanks for asking.
My avi : it's a view of an art work of artist Buren, a kind of hut with walls and roof made of wood and colored plexiglas (in Lille art Museum). I really like this work, you can walk inside, and the colors are different from each point (+ they are different when the sun is shining or not). here is a link (but sorry it's in french, so maybe the only interest for you is the photograph): http://www.musee-lam.fr/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Daniel-Buren.pdf
It seems you like art too, am I right?

Thanks for sending friend request. you're right, we have same taste when talking about dramas, though you are quite a bigger "dramavore" (don't know if the word exist in English...). I like your life goal, you have very good taste about actresses as well. Horikita is my fav one too, I always find her so good in every of her dramas. Especially in Nobuta and Tokujo Kabachi! Nice pics and ganbatte ne!

Don't worry, your special recommendation was so good that people finally wanted to see it. thanks for having recommended it, it was a heartwarming drama with some very good scenes. Makes me smile and cry a lot.
Tamayama-san was great as usual, his story was my favorite one. and not only because he is so cute...

I agree about Ninkyo Helper : a very very very good drama. fisrt i was sceptic about the strange plot, but it is really amazing. I just want to add that even if you don't like yakuza related dramas (like me), you will certainly enjoy this one (+ starring Yamamoto Yusuke !!!)
I haven't seen the others, but I'll add Dare yori mo Mama wo Aisu, and Shiroi Haru on my PTW list.
thanks for the recommendations!
Ah.;; and I really like Abe Hiroshi.

so true !!!! very funny, thanks a lot!
