I had never seen Ueda Tatsuya in a drama before so I thought I'd give this one a try. I was drawn towards it because Ueda shaved his head for it, and also the story line seemed rather interesting. I was drawn in immediately when I started watching. The actor that stands out to me the most in this drama is Hayato Ichihara his character Ataru is really quite amazing. You can really feel his emotions for yourself, and understand his need to save his family. While Ueda is originally the reason I was drawn to this drama, I think Ichihara is the reason I'm staying on board. I've only seen 4 out of the 9 episodes but that is because they haven't subbed that far yet! Hopefully the drama keeps going as well as what I have already watched!

Niini no Koto wo Wasurenaide is a fictional story based on true events. This Tearjerker is the story of the sufferings of a boy which in the early age of 15 was told that he had Tumors in his brain, or braincancer. I Will keep this review without spoilers.

Kawai Keisuke is a boy who loves to study. He is looking forward to going to school, Eagerly study and always has fun joking around with his family and friends. Or atleast this is the life he had been leading in the past. Lately he has been having these horrible headaches causing studying nearly impossible, But he doesn't give in. His mother quickly notices that something is out of the ordinary, He never was like this in the past. Trying to talk her son into going to the hospital turns out to be of no good, So only with a twist of fate, He needs to be taken to the hospital.
About to leave the hospital to go home and study, His parents come in quickly while talking to him. They've just gotten the message.. Their 15 Year old son, they have been told that he will have no longer than a year at the most to live. Keisuke figures that having headaches is something we all can get so he doesn't think twice about it. Telling his mother straight out ''The doctor didn't say there was anything wrong with me right, So just let me leave..'' His mother halfway in tears already starts to tell his son about his fate, And from here starts the life of Keisuke, A boy with a life outside of the usuall. How will he live on from here, And will he manage to overcome his hardships along the way the illness?.

This story, I really had big expectations from it after having read the description. And it definately didn't let me down. After only 30 minutes watching, I was left in tears. It didn't change later either. It keeps your tears comming out. Its definately not a mustwatch if you aren't into Tearjerkers..

I'll recommend this drama to all dramafans out there who aren't afraid to shed tears. Even those who doesn't cry easily, Will be able to shed a couple of tears here..

R.I.P Kawai Keisuke..

Being a long time fan of this manga I was hoping for the best, and this drama definitely delivered! This was my first Kazuya Kamenashi drama, and my second drama that I watched. This is the drama that made me fall in love with Kame, and then find out about KAT-TUN. Even more so this is my favorite manga, and I really love the real life adaptation of the story. I think the casting was perfect! They all acted like their original characters. The only major change in the story was the addtion of Takeru, but he is too cute, and also the bar tender that always gives Kyouhei advice.

The story is really good, and there is a great message to be learned throughout all of the silliness in the drama. I cried a lot with Kyouhei and his relationship with his mom, and also Sunako and Kyouhei's relationship advances faster in the drama then is has in the manga. This drama is on the must watch list!

Where can I begin with this movie. I loved it! The story was so beautiful and tragic, I was crying into my blanket about half the time! I'm not sure how to review this movie without giving away spoilers so I'll just say that it is a must see!

Kazuya Kamenashi as Yuuki is amazing. One of his best acting roles I think I've ever watched him in. He is such and optimistic character, and thinks of others before himself even though he is very ill.

If you don't cry at least one single tear before this movie is over, then you have no soul. It's a really, really great movie!

An example of another drama I only watched because KAT-TUN members were in it. And probably wouldn't have if they weren't.

The idea was cute, and fun, but a lot of the times I wasn't that amused. I mean this isn't a bad drama, but it isn't the BEST one either. I think if you have time you should watch it but it's not one of those dramas I'd stop everything for to watch.

It has a lot of laughs in their along the way, and many strange scenarios. Junnosuke Taguchi playing a swedish guys son was pretty funny, especially with that blond hair, and those blue yes.

In closing this is basically a Japanese version of Scooby-Doo, and if you have some time to kill go ahead and watch it.

While I am completely biased towards Kame, and love him to death! This was not one of my favorite dramas he starred in.

The drama for me started off in high spirits. I thought Kame was so adorable as Kosaku, and Kuroki Meisa looked beautiful as always even as a nun. I just felt like the story got old after awhile. It just seemed repetitive and I got bored a lot towards the end so it was almost a chore to finally finish the drama.

I'm not saying I hated it or anything because Kame being a hyperactive boxer was too cute for me not to watch! but you may get bored after the first five episodes.

Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this. By far, one of my favorite dramas ever.

I was instantly hooked from episode 1, which is quite rare for me nowadays. I couldn't stop and kept wanting to watch more! I love how it starts from when the characters were young, so you could really feel and experience how they grew up. This drama has a lot of scenes involving motherly love, and those were the ones that made me cry nonstop. I also love how it shows Tak Goo find his dream in life, and watching him pursue it was amazing! The baking scenes were really fun to watch. The cast is excellent, I couldn't of asked for a better casting selection! They all were great, and really portrayed their true characters.

Full of both heartbreaking and also happy moments. I probably cried in almost every episode of this drama. I would always have red and puffy eyes after. But I personally love dramas that make me cry buckets! I would not hesitate to watch it again. So again, I highly recommend this drama!
