New Asadora announced to air after Hiyokko starring Arimura Kasumi. This new Asadora, called "Warotenka" will be the 97th Asadora and will run from 2017-Oct-02 to 2018-Mar-31. I think this one will be different from all the others (at least from what I know since I only follow Asadoras sin...

Beppin-san theme song will be Hikari no Atelier by Mr. Children.

I think Asadoras are becoming quite of prestigious, right? It's been a while since their theme songs are sang by famous japanese artists, like Yuzu, ayaka, Utada Hikaru, AKB48 and now Mr. Children.

<big_snip> As for the actress, I've seen a couple of doramas with her. I don't dislike her but I don't like her either. I wish it were another actress though. I loved Asa's daughter in Asa ga Kita, I think her name is Koshiba Fuka (loved her in Kiki's Delivery Service), I hope for her someday be an...

I love that the setting is around the Tokyo Olympics time. I loved the movies Always: Sunset on Third Street, especially the one with the Olympics timeline, I really like that part of history in Japan, economic growth and hope.

Please help. In the current dorama Love Song, what are the songs that Sano Sakura sings on her live performance at the end of ep3? I know the last one is 500 miles, but she sings others before, looked like a meddley.

kathia_sophia

Ep2 tonight was better! I like how they don't show the face of Sakurako's hikikomori friend to keep him mysterious... and finally next week's episode sounds a lot more like a Nojima Shinji story! :cheers: I'm so glad :D good to know, because the cast is doing a convincing job, especially Mana-chan ...

I came in halfway on watching Asa ga Kita, and look forward to watching the whole thing from the start. It was really delightful, touching, and informative. The real people that the story is based on were amazing! And the writing and acting did them justice. This was the first asadora I have watche...

From what I read in japanese (my jap is so bad) is that Beppin-san was about clothes, but just that. So thank you for a detailed info. I liked Carnation, but I'm not into fashion myself but if it's about children clothes it should be very interesting. I wonder who will be the heroine, I'm really cur...

I absolutely love period ones better, especially during World War I or II. You don't get dramas or movies that are set in that timeline that often, so when it appears adaptations during WW like the movie Eien no Zero or the 12 ep dorama Tenno no Ryoriban, they get good ratings and become a hit. I be...

And it was announced that the next Asadora for October~April is Beppin-san ! And it starts with Showa era.

It seems we will get another successful Asadora: Asa ga Kita seems to be a hit with very good ratings, right now the average rating is 23.0% and it doesn't seem it will decline but rise (the highest episode rating was 27.2 for friday of week 10). It seems the ones I am least interested in always do...

kathia_sophia

To add to that, after a general decline in ratings, dropping to 13.5% for Welkame in 2009, there has been mostly a rise in ratings. Hanako to Anne seems to be the highest amongst recent ones at 22.6, followed by Gochisousan at 22.4, according to the Japanese Wikipedia page. It seems we will get ano...

I'm finally going to be able to watch Massan. I finished Hanako to Anne right when it finished airing, but school began and I put Massan on hold.

Of course, the script for this asadora is fictitious (based on true story) but it's always interesting to find out what the real story was like. Seems like the real-life Annaka Hana (model for Ando Hana) and Muraoka Keizo (model for Muraoka Eiji) were really one of a kind married couple back in the...

They did not have any natural children but they did adopt two children. Rita Taketsuru (née Cowan), wife of Taketsuru Masataka. Note: There may be "spoilers" to Massan in the two articles listed below about the Taketsuru's: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/astonishing-life-...

About the real Ellie and Massan, which I believe they are called Rita and Masataka, does anyone here knows if they had children in real life? I wonder if they did, it would be awesome to see that in the drama.

Week 3 :wub: Best episodes so far. I wasn't too impressed with the first two weeks, except the ending of Week 2. But Week 3 story really picks up! Ellie learning how to cook rice was just the cutest thing and the climax where they had a fight was quite realistic. That fight scene was very long, but...

Thank you for your summaries! Even without watching this asadora, I love it already. I will be waiting for it to be subbed, for a while I will still be watching Hanako to Anne.

Wow a thread for Massan!!! YAY!!! I've been anticipating this Asadora since it's announcement last year. After I finish Hanako to Anne, I'll be watching this one. I can see a similarity between Ellie (Eri) and Meiko (Gochisousan) in the terms of struggle with a diferent culture as the same happened ...
