Big Bang does "Ohitorisama" opening

Korean group Big Bang has landed their first tie-in with a Japanese television drama. Their new song, "Koe wo Kikasete," will be used as the opening theme of TBS's "Ohitorisama," which stars Alisa Mizuki and Teppei Koike.

This song also marks the return of Daesung (D-LITE), who was injured in a car accident this past August.

"Ohitorisama" starts this coming Friday. Big Bang will release "Koe wo Kikasete" as a single on November 4.

sweet, Older woman and shota dorama! Kinky!

can't wait

Those piggy back rides in Jdrama are quite something else, aren't they ?

LOL they are

I downloaded the first episode to listen to Big Bang's song but surprisingly enjoyed the drama a lot, even without subs. It's on my watch list for this season now.

Lol unlike K-drama, they aint drinking Soju and it's the guys that are wasted. Funny.

saw the first episode, Not that bad, pretty interesting. Good acting, storyline and actors.

Gonna keep on following it.

I agree, it's pretty nice.

Oh I am SO in love with this show after only two episodes!!!

Mizuki and Koike have the greatest chemistry! I loved them in "Oniyome Nikki" and it is so great to see them together again! They are an odd pair but there is something really adorable about them! I know a lot of people don't like the older woman/younger guy pairings but I am having a lot of fun with this!

And GiraGira Subs are fantastic! ! The show is really funny too!

This is probably going to be my favorite show this Season.

Episode 2 was nice too. Not a bad drama to follow. Very light and good for drama digestion .

just watch it until ep3
it's quite good
love chemistry of alisa and teppei

but still i don't like older women pairing with younger guy, something bothering me *just IMO*

This is my first time see Alisa Mizuki, i think i will like her *already like her in this drama*

Ah I love this drama
I think age doesnt matter like kato rosa-nakayama yuma in koishite akuma, age differs 9 years, and now... 35 VS 23 yay! Ganbareeeee~
looking forward for the next episode!
OMIAI??? LOL~

This is definitely my favorite jdrama of the season! It's the only one I've been able to keep up with and look forward to every week. I think I can understand how some people might not like it because to me it feels like every ep starts off really slow and even though I love it I find myself thinking "I don't really care about this..." but by the end I'm in love with it all over again I can't wait until episode 7, it looks like my favorite type of episode (haha meeting the parents).

I personally like older women/younger men type stories. I don't know why, I'm not THAT old myself but sometimes I feel like I can really relate to how the woman feels or something

I also have to chime in and say that so far this is my favorite drama of the season!!! I am actually itching like a drug addict to see it every week!!! LOL

I liked the Teppei/Alisa chemistry when they played in 'Oniyome Nikki' and I kept saying how cute they looked together the whole time. (I may have said that before)

I also love the build up to this. It is not a quick look and no understanding of why they are attracted. You understand how they can become attracted to each other after daily interaction and how they are helping each other to grow and change.

I actually love the older woman/younger man thing! It is about time! I don't understand why it has always been okay the other way around when in reality the "sex drive" actually matches better this way! LOL

This is the only drama I'm actively following week-to-week this season and I'm really enjoying it. Honestly, so far (4 episodes in) it's got a lot of those standard romantic comedy situations we all know, such as but since I actually enjoy those, as well as other "younger guy" dramas (such as Kimi wa Petto, Suppli, What's Up Fox?, Dal Ja's Spring, Snow White, etc.), I'm digging it. And dang, Teppei is so boyish-looking he really could still pass for a high school student. Actually, I've only ever seen him play HS students so far (except in Shibatora, which I didn't enjoy) so it's interesting to see him finally get to play an adult romantic lead.

I love this series so much that I am not even waiting for subs to watch it! LOL

I just love their chemistry!!! Did anyone else tear up a bit on episode 7! Please tell me I am not alone!

I thought I read somewhere that this was based on a manga? Is it the one called 'Ohitorisama Monogatari' or something else? Just curious. (^_^)

i really LUV this drama i even put it on my top ten jap drama

confessed to her and held his hand to his heart I was sitting in my chair saying! Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!!! I loved how his eyes became so teary! I thought sure that she was going to be the one to tell him first! Nice that they did that for a change!

I can not wait for the next one as well! Looks like it is going to be a really good one! I really love this show!

me too i wish if they could rid of her

Just started this tonight. It's very cute, and at times very funny. I like the cast of teachers: the uptight ones, the catty ones, the rowdy ones.

Teppei looks like he's 12, though. That's going to be a little weird as they get together. I was dying, though, during the scenes the morning after they got ramen.

That shirt's a little flashy, isn't it?

Okay! I am really having such a great time with this drama!!! I usually wait until the subs come out but this is the first drama that I have ever liked so much that I am sitting through it with no subs and still having a great time!!! I understand enough to get by but I miss some of the small nuances...

You saw it coming! In episode 9 And Koike Teppei is pulling my heart strings!!! Every time his I am so sorry that this is ending so soon! And based on the ratings there won't be a second episode of special. I just hope it ends the way I would like!

Because I cant wait for the raw, I watch the final episode yesterday by streaming... But Still I LOVE this Drama , Otsukaresama deshita
For making this great drama

I LOVE their chemistry! We may never see this pairing again based on the ratings but this drama really has me touched. There is something electric (IMO) when Alisa and Koike are on the screen.

I could not stand it! I watched the last episode without subs! And even though The only thing that bothered me was something really silly... But my heart skipped when

i thought this drama was quite cute. am i wrong or are those "older woman-younger boy" stories really "in" now?
to be honest i didn't like the pairing at first, though i liked both characters .. but well.. they grew to me after a few episodes. and i have to say that it never became boring even if the plot isn't very special... so overall a quite cute drama ^^

MitsukaiKuroi wrote:The only thing that bothered me was something really silly...

the idea that they were about to kiss and he was the same height as her THEN they show his feet lifting and he becomes taller than Akiyama Sensei! Normally he is shorter than her so he should raise up to her height.

Yeah... I am a nerd. LOL

Episode 8: and lastly, MitsukaiKuroi - I completely agree with you about Teppei at the end of episode 9. He really made me feel exactly what his character was feeling.

this is a really good drama, I like it so much

[Edit] ^

I can only say what I have read but the reason that a lot of these Younger Man/Older Woman dramas are starting to pop up everywhere is because that is what is starting to happen in Japan.

Women that used to leave the workplace (or never enter it) by age 25 are staying on their jobs. So now there are a lot of women that are 25-40 that are still dedicated to their jobs and chose a career over love. Most of the men of that same age are married OR into women that are much younger who will give up everything, become mothers and housewives, etc.

So what is happening is that the young men that enter the workplace are the ones that are available. I don't know if those relationships last but that seems to be the major thing that is happening now so the dramas are starting to reflect it.

I think it is really cool! But then I am an old chick!

i finished the drama and thought it was overall cute but.. somehow i just didn't feel alot of chemistry between the main characters well koike was pretty good & cute but the main girl didn't seem too convincing and i jst didn't really like her character's personality..
the w-inds guy was hot tho! hehe


do u guys have other suggestions for good older woman/young man doramas?
i've watched so far: kimi wa petto, suppli, anego, sore wa totsuzen, slow dance, majo no jouken

Why dont u try around 40? even though the male lead is not that young, he's still younger than the female lead

thanks for the recommendation!! i didn't watch it when it aired since the female lead is pretty up there in age haha but i just finished watching it and i really likedd it! :DD ive seen 3 dramas of amami yuki so far and she's seriously really good!

hehe fujiki naohito's HOTT (in person too! i saw him in person filming once)



srry this is so unrelated to ohitorisama.... xP
