Japanese SoTW (8/26/2007) - Konna Koi no Hanashi

Last edited by mizune on Wed Aug 29, 2007 2:28 am; edited 1 time in total

Since the vote was so close last poll, both Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru and Ns' Aoi were selected as the co-SoTW winners.... which actually works out well for this poll...

I don't think I've seen it posted anywhere here, but I read in the paper a week or two ago that Sorimachi Takashi and his wife Matsushima Nanako are 5 months pregnant with their second child. Smile

So in recognition, the new nominees are dramas from early in their careers. Mr. Green

(yeah yeah, GTO would be a much more appropriate nominee to celebrate this, but that's one drama that doesn't need any help Fear

)
Aaanywho...

If you're willing to seed any of the series in the poll, please post a reply here or in the JSOTW: Looking For Volunteer Seeders thread or PM any one of the Geinou. There are still several series which don't have any volunteer seeders, so do volunteer for those! The more seeders we have, the more variety there will be in the future JSoTW polls.

Many thanks go out to those seeding the current dual JSoTM (Ns' Aoi and Busu no Hitomi no Koishiteru). Thank you for your support! salut

In the now immortal words of thetenken........

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST. IF YOU DO NOT, YOU MAY BE LIABLE TO THETENKEN'S EXPRESSIONS OF DISPLEASURE.

Taking nominations for the next series of the week. Let me know what you want to add to the poll and I'll add it. From this point forward only series that have a volunteer seeder will be put up into the poll. People can nominate whatever they want, but the series won't become a poll option until there is a volunteer seeder...

PLEASE NOMINATE AND VOTE ONLY FOR THE DRAMAS OFF THE COMPLETED DRAMAS LIST FOUND IN THE JSOTW VOLUNTEER SEEDERS THREAD:

What is a series of the week? More Info Here
Since there are now a substantial number of torrents on this site, we have implemented a "Series of the Week," where we could dedicate most of the bandwidth to a particular series during that week. This helps in a couple of ways:

1. People will know what series are available and have seeds, rather than just waiting and hoping for them to be seeded at some later date.

2. For those seeders who have DVD burners and have already burnt their collections to DVD/CD, then with the series of the week they know which series can be pulled off of DVD to help seed, minimizing troublesome multiple DVD loading.

3. Constantly re-circulates older torrents back into view, and focuses bandwidth and demand toward those specific torrents, rather than having people request series across the board.

Remember, D-Addicts was started for the community, and being a part of the community means sharing. If you don't share, then everyone loses (refer to JEM's dropping of Cdramas), and a good thing open to all may become a private party.

We take no responsibility for deleting poll entries if there are no seeds. No complaints, as this is a community effort. If the community doesn't want to share, then oh well...

Reminder: You must have at least 10 posts to vote. Go on, kiddies... explore the forum a bit... Smile

Just so you know, the "vote next series" link on the torrent page is wrong. It redirects to a seed request.

my vote goes for 'konna koi no hanashi.' after 'ai no uta,' i'd love to finally see another koji tamaki drama. btw, i picked up his album 'present' when i was in japan this summer. really great music. i can't wait to hear more.

well, Iguana no Musume got my vote again because I really want to see it soooooooo~ badly xDD
But hadn't InM been there I would have voted Cheap Love, well, basicly because I think others should watch it because it's really a very good and touching drama which I also love to pieces! (and because it has Sorimachi Takashi and a totally kawaii Yoshizawa Yuu in it) :DDDD

To bad I only got two episodes of Iguana before I did a major move.
Hoped I could fill it sooner or later but it seems a bit cursed..
Should change my name to TechIguana

Ahem...
It's been awhile since I've seen such an all-around even poll, but Konna Koi no Hanashi wins it this time around.
Thanks to everybody who helped seed the last dual SoTW winners, Busu no Hitomi ni and Ns Aoi! As the new JSoTW gets set up, please remember to continue seeding the previous winners for as long as possible.

New poll up in two shakes of a lamb's tail....
Whatever that's supposed to mean... Laugh
