This is probably the worse drama I've ever seen... maybe I've got really high standards but most other dramas made me feel something like anger, sadness, tears, laughter, affection etc. This drama is only really OK as very light entertainment with no emotional investment. Like if we were channell ho...

The main works that haven't been subtitled in English are these films: Shibuya Maruyama Cho (although it's very sparse in dialogue and easy to follow without) Chichan wa Sokyu no Muko (someone, please translate this? ^_^) Pandora no Hako (And this one too? ^_^) If anyone has any trouble finding the ...

I just saw 2 pretty cool ninja action films:

Dororo

Kamui Gaiden

AWESOME. Anyone know any more?

moustachegai

Ha okay I couldn't resist watching the episodes. Yup... the show does seem like it should be called the Eita show. Thoughts on 1st episode: Yeah it seemed the second half half of the episode was poorly written. They could easily have stopped the target/brother from going into the Fight Club. None of...

First 2 eps subbed by ArashiAngelSub and Soojin is out in the subtitle section of this forum.

Cool cool ^_^ Looking forward to seeing them all and joining in discussions later...

moustachegai

Ah so still no takers for softsubbing on D-Addicts then... :'( Even with that beautifully convenient script and timed Japanese subtitle files available... Aw crap... maybe if I didn't mention the other group you may have released the sub by now lol I agree Iriki Mari and Oizumi was cool. Matsushima ...

moustachegai

Surprisingly, none... ArashiAngelSubs are one group that are intending to sub- although I think only hard sub and via LiveJournal. Maybe everyone can co-ordinate with each other with subbing to make it a faster and quality process? Alven is an awesome translator and we're in safe hands with him so ...

Press Conference for the Lucky 5! Or Lucky 4 rather... Heh @ Johnny's rule not to photograph Matsumoto Jun?

Just 1 more day to wait now

moustachegai

Awesome! I'm watching this for Naka Riisa and Matsushima Nanako. I hope this drama breaks the mould from the standard drama-look, like more cinematic like American shows - because judging from Gantz, the Director is definitely capable of that! Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeyP-fQBxrM Haha...

moustachegai

So do I. Fierce Riisa! I liked her role in Shiawase ni Narou yo, I just wished she'd play a more important part. I kept rooting for her hopeless character until the very end. :P I have been thinking about subbing stuff recently, and since I'm obsessed with Naka Riisa... basically all of her non-obs...

moustachegai

Yeah I guess the only way it'd been pulled off well is if they had Nutty Professor/ Back to The Future II Hollywood level effects going on... haha I wouldn't find it creepy, cuz Tsuyoshi is AWESOME. There's not enough of him. Or just cast Tsuyoshi in 1 role instead. Yeah the English dialogue was awf...

I'm a new fan of Haruka Ayase. Loved her in JIN, in Hotaru no Hikari, in Sekai, in Mr Brain, n Justice short film and the features.

She's so beautiful.

Does anyone else here think that she looks so perfect she looks kind of... CG?

CG = computer generated.

Is Ayase real?!

moustachegai

Great review Endersgirl! I watched the entire drama in 2 days. It badly suffers from repetitive dialogue syndrome... it's like 80% of the lines can be cut and it'd be stronger and shorter too but I guess they really got to conform to 5x2hr specials... It's still really good though. I'm really impres...

moustachegai

Torrents arent available but you can direct download via Filestube, smapxmedia on Live Journal, and on drama download. I just finished the series and wow. I'd really want subtitles for the Special though as that's where the story actually finishes :\ Anyone subbing it? It has been 10 years... lol so...

moustachegai

?? Horikita Maki isn't, where is this written?

moustachegai

The cinematography, directing style, music, and level of costume/production design I mean is on the same level as the drama. I'm not expecting Pirates of the Carribean or Chicago talent level of epicness of course, but daaamn I'm not sure if that'd get good Box Office :\ Wasn't most of the ratings f...

moustachegai

Oooh trailer!

IS this a TV movie or a cinema release? It looks exactly the same as the show? O_o

moustachegai

Just finished the TV series and special. Really enjoyed it, I love Karina and the writer of this series! It's funny because Boku no Aruku Michi is one of my favourites, and the set design, costumes, and everything looks exactly the same. I wasn't entirely convinced by the romance between the two lea...

moustachegai

Hey I literally just finished this drama after having abit of a 3 day stretch watching it. I didn't shed a tear or thought much of this at all... to be honest I thought it was abit crap and one of the worse dramas I've seen. A 5/10, it's like I didn't feel any chemistry or believability in the two l...

moustachegai

Damn, this is probably my second favourite drama after Ninkyo Helper. I love it! It's just so well done, and how everyone around him changed made me tear up abit. I am astounded. Really wish someone would sub the first Boku no Ikura Michi of the trilogy now! When Megumi's character gives her the str...

moustachegai

Hachi-One Diver - This introduced me to Japanese drama. Well, technically Naka Riisa did after I extinguished her movie catalogue but hey! Very anime like TV show. Moteki - very well done as well, very relatable and has sexy women. Gakko Ja Oshierarenai! - it's written by the same guy who did the G...

moustachegai

If you google Moteki you'll probably find it on direct download on dramadownload or fileserve/megaupload. For torrents, asiatorrents and the usual places have it.

And that's fine if the clubs/societies don't last long- you don't wanna hang around the place if a relationship goes wrong haha

moustachegai

Also I've found life for me has been alot like the japanese TV show drama Moteki. Have you seen that? Haha get to it!

Well while you're at uni, when you finish your exams they'll be loads of parties and end of societies so show your faces there and grab some good contacts for later too ;)

moustachegai

You can watch a few raw video live performances [or lip synced lol] on Dailymotion http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xiqbuu_smap-not-alone-yyyyyyy_music Or if you google Smappie you'll find subbed PVs. Something very magical about middle-aged men acting like a teen band... it's rather uplifting... I ...

moustachegai

Yeah even though Narimiya is in his late 20s, I can be convinced he could be in school still. He does look like an adult in Sweet Room and in Halfway.

moustachegai

I think this either or question is silly and a fantasy. It implies you can have looks but no personality or have personality but no looks. The real world doesn't work like that, and this question only serves an ego boosting response ("oh, personality duuh!"). Of course I'd rather hang with...

Who's Yamapi?

moustachegai

Ooh I love coming late to the discussion table... I really loved this series. It's such a light and entertaining watch. I know it's rare for dramas to get more than 1 series but- anyone know if there's any talks of Season 2? I know it's rather unlikely now as all the actors are quite big and rising ...

moustachegai

Finished the entire series recently. Overall it's a very pleasant and easy to watch show. Kind of slow burning - I'd watch an episode here, or there, and miss a few weeks. Although by episode 7 I was hooked and wanting to see the conclusion. Thanks SmappieSubs =] I can't get the SMAP theme tune to t...

moustachegai

An incredibly strong series. The premise and first 20 minutes of the opening episode was absurd and so silly I almost turned off... but once I got past that I was hooked and watched all the episodes and special in one whole sitting. I am in awe. With regards to the Special: Yeah it was very sad. Mai...

moustachegai

This can possibly be the worst drama ever. As mentioned earlier, every episode is basically the same. Added by horrible acting by the lead male who looks constipated in every scene. For god sake, whoever wrote his character needs to be shot. I've never seen a grown man cry as much as he does over a...

moustachegai

In my opinion Eiri was the best actress among everyone. She just seems to shine more than the others. I hope she has a lovely career. I'm really glad to rewatch this with english subs, the show suddenly feels more mature than I thought when I watched it in japanese. I agree, this was one of the fir...

moustachegai

The twincest is very funny. The show is very... flippantly nonchalent and a pleasant tone! It's pretty cool, I may check out the anime - although it's very similar right?

moustachegai

I'm 24 right now and single. I had my first girlfriend when I was 18 but it only lasted 3 months. Later I fell in love with a girl for 2 years, it was great. But then alot of things went wrong... neither of us were mature enough and we had alot of things going on... like University and generally lif...

I can understand Cantonese [so HK Dramas are easier to digest, despite me not liking them as much as Korean or Japanese!]

I'm a very basic at Japanese, but I'm learning. Got a load of Rocket Japanese and Pimsleurs audio mp3s to help me out. Any tips anyone?

=]

moustachegai

Today I feel like learning Japanese... so I can understand the dramas better and get a hot wife ;)

moustachegai

I just saw the first 3 episodes of the live action subbed. It's so silly!!!

moustachegai

Here's my list =] I've split them into 3 genres because I think Japan do these types of movies the best. Normally I love romantic comedies too but I feel the japanese do it better in tv dramas than feature lengths. If there are any good features do let me know though. KICKING ASS FILMS: Battle Royal...

Hi everyone, I'm new to these boards as I recently discovered Riisa Naka myself. I often go through phases of watching an entire artist's work to date [I did this with Wong Kar Wai, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Akira Kurosawa, Tom Cruise... to name a few) and one of my latest vices is the great Naka Riisa! ...
