when i read that the main characters were tsukasa and taro, i immediately thought of arashi

sorry for the random dumb comment

anyway, i'm looking forward to this. it's been forever since i've watched a koichi drama. the last one i watched was remote. i haven't seen any promotions for this drama at all...why is that?

Post by **mizune** » Jul 22nd, '07, 20:58

I was looking forward to this until I saw the SP preview that was uploaded at Jpopsuki...
The SP was pretty funny, but I'm not really looking for another cartoonish comedy. ^_^;

I wonder why it airs so late?

Heard it was because of TV Asahi's way of doing things. They don't put a lot of hope in a summer drama (yet they went as far as casting a Domoto for the main role) & they know they can't really compete with Fuji TV. I think it could be fairly true.

Moondy · Post by **Moondy** » Jul 22nd, '07, 22:24

But it seems to be good >_<

ryoko11 · Post by **ryoko11** » Jul 25th, '07, 16:01

I'm looking forward to this one. The SP was funny, and it has been awhile since we had a drama starring Koichi. It feels like it's starting so much later than everything else this season, and yeah the time slot is kinda strange. Still, I've seen a fair amount of promotion for it, so maybe it'll do okay in that slot.

Has anyone heard news of the theme song yet? The wiki is saying Kinki Kids will do it, which would be great if it's true.

I heard about this drama.. But I don't feel that much exciting .. I'm not with this kind of story

.. maybe I'm wrong..But if it get the highest rate maybe I'll give it a chance..

ladyxenax · Post by **ladyxenax** » Jul 27th, '07, 16:09

As a Kochan dai-fan I'm looking forward to this drama. )))) And this is the first serious drama role for Maru, so - gambatte!

Besides, it seems like the director is a old time KinKi collaborator. He did 'Ginro KaiKi Files', 'Harmonia', P.S. Genki ...' with Kochan; Kindaichi Shounen... both seasons with Tsuyoshi and Bokura no Yuuki. Besides, he was the director of 'Ikebukoro West Gate Park'.

Yorokobi · Post by **Yorokobi** » Jul 28th, '07, 01:03

Hey I stayed up till 1:45 last night watching this drama (why the hell was it on so late!!)
anyway totally worth it, it was hilarious, I was rolling around on the floor at parts.
I think that some people wont like this drama because its really silly but I loved it for that!!!

NOTE:Spoiler doesnt really give away much!

The whole episode was a lot of fun!!
Has anybody said they will sub it?? I hope so can't wait to see it with subs!

Ok I am now officially confused because I downloaded episode 2 and watched it during the week however I was right after all and Sushi Oji! was not on last week and episode 2 on aired last night. So how the hell did that person get it on their clubbox before it had even aired???

Sushi Ouji ep 2 did not air in certain areas of Japan last week, a lot of areas do not get direct feeds from the 4 major commerical TV stations but their local stations get the feeds and rebroadcast out. You could be living in a area getting a non-direct feed and hence Sushi Ouji ep 2 did not air cos of your local station.

The capture that's seen in clubboxes is probably done in an area that receives a direct feed from Asahi TV and they aired Sushi Ouji epi 2 last week.

How is Kato Natsuki in this drama? I liked her alot in HYD2 so I was wondering if she played a similar role in Sushi Oji.

Yorokobi · Post by **Yorokobi** » Sep 2nd, '07, 23:44

she was only in the first 2? episodes
i prefered her in HYD2 but thats not to say she isnt good in this but the genre is quite different

*raises hand* I'm still watching! I just haven't seen the latest raws yet, because this seems to be a drama where I need subs more than I do on a lot of others. (Though I'll probably watch the raw anyhow after I get caught up again on everything.)

That timeslot still puzzles the h*** out of me.

I'm up to episode 4 (watching Love Song's hardsubs) and the show is getting really good. I thought the first episode was meh, second episode didn't get good til the end, but episodes 3 and 4 are really funny.

I'm watching this drama and I'm loving it. I've only seen the first two episodes. I'm a bit behind. I love Koichi. I also love Natsuki. I've loved her since HYD2.

Latest episode subbed by Love Song (who are doing a great job subbing, btw) was my favorite so far. I'm really loving this series, it's so...weird lol. And I love Koichi's unrequited loves so far haha.

kiddygrade · Post by **kiddygrade** » Sep 20th, '07, 12:25

Can some japanese-speaking fan could tell me the exact meaning of Tsukasa's catch phrase? What I hear is "Omae nanka nigitte yaru", which I would personally translate as "I am going to roll you [as you roll/grip sushi]!", but Love Song translate it as "I will kill you". Do I hear properly, for one thing? And if I do, is there any good reason to translate it as Love Song nonetheless? By the way, I must express my gratitude to this team for all their good job on ProDai and Sushi Oji
Thanks in advance for you answers

they are both correct because it's a catch phrase with a double meaning. ^_^
It's really complicated to translate it without notes.

Thanks very much for your answer

Now I understand it is an (intended) pun, quite well fitted to a sushi artist!
Maybe there was a note the first time, and I didn't see it? Anyway, it makes this catch phrase all the more interesting!
By the way, is there any pun in the name "Jinenryu"? And what is the difference between the readings "Ranma" and "Enma"?

Thanks in advance

(Misato-san, I depend on you, ne?)

princess_jime · Post by **princess_jime** » Oct 20th, '07, 20:06

Well, I finished watching this one with subs by Love Song (you guys ROCK!!!!!!)
I gotta say, it surprised me how funny I found it, since I didn't read much reviews, I didn't know exactly what is was about or what to expect, only that it involved sushi (one of my favorite food in the world!), therefore I was happily surprised when I saw it was a "baka martial arts" tale, filled with comedy!!!!!
Gosh, I think it's funnier than my boss-my hero!
I loved everything about it!

Say, according to wikipedia:

When ever Tsukasa sees fish eyes, he points to the fish eyes and says「お前なんか、握ってやる！」 (Omae nanka, nigitteyaro!) which roughly means "You are dead meat, punk!" (the more literal, but less threatening-sounding meaning is "Punk, you will be sushi!") The 'punk' that he refers to are the owner of the fish-eyes, which he associates with the fish that killed his grandfather and father.

I wonder if Love Song will sub the movie next year? I hope they do! All the while I was thinking "how come he hasn't received any training for rice?" LOL!

I think I'll do some banners now... I'll post them later on, in case anyone wants any... hehehehe.

Koneko · Post by **Koneko** » Oct 20th, '07, 20:28

If you watched all the way to the end of the final file, you would have your answer ^.~ yes, we will be subbing the movie. We want to know what happens to Tsukasa in New York! ^o^

Yatttaaa!!! all right!!! that's great!!! (^_^U I did watch till the end... I just wasn't sure... you never know what might happen in the future... gomen

)
Thank you sooooooooo much for subbing sushi ouji!!!!

atskv9 · Post by **atskv9** » Oct 31st, '07, 08:23

I'm glad I finished watching this drama to the end. I was thinking about deleting it but I thought i should just finish it since I downloaded. This may not have been super popular but I think it has some charm to it plus it became pretty funny after a while. I also liked seeing Tsukasa go through his training up until the very end. The ending was completely unexpected and I think it pulled the drama together nicely.

Not sure what to expect for the movie, but I'll definitely be watching it after Love Song subs it. Thanks again Love Song!

*downloads theme song right now!*

princess_jime · Post by **princess_jime** » Jan 17th, '08, 19:05

Gosh, I totally forgot about the banners I was gonna make, anyway, here to post some news!
From tokyograph:

Koichi Domoto sings for "Sushi Ouji!"
Wed, January 16, 2008 (2:15pm EST)
KinKi Kids member Koichi Domoto will sing the theme song for his upcoming movie, "Ginmaku Ban Sushi Ouji! ~New York e Iku~." This is his first time providing music for a film as a solo artist.

The song is titled "No more," and it is said to have an R&B flavor to fit the movie's setting of New York. The single has not yet been given a release date.

Directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi, the film is related to the "Sushi Ouji!" drama series that aired on TV Asahi last summer. It opens on April 19.

I finally got around to watching this and am in the middle of the third episode at the moment and there's just something random I had to point out [considering I'm only on the third episode -- I don't know if this is going to change later on]...

I love how Domoto Koichi's character [Tsukasa/Sushi Oji] is _ALWAYS_ wearing the same pair of camo pants.

seeshu · Post by **seeshu** » Jan 28th, '08, 09:49

I finally finished this drama. I watched the first ep the week it came out - and then totally stopped. I guess the first ep was a little too much for me. But, I'm glad I got around to watching all the eps. I think it gradually got better (er, either that or I got used to some of the cartoony effects). It was pretty funny... the sushi ouji pose (with the sound effect) was great.

Now I'm looking forward to the movie!

princess_jime · Post by **princess_jime** » May 7th, '08, 22:08

This thread needs love, from tokyograph:

The "Sushi Prince" goes to New York
Wed, April 30, 2008 (2:18am EDT)
... On Monday, Koichi Domoto attended the American premiere of the "Sushi Ouji!" movie, which was screened at the Walter Reade Theater in New York.

The city was an appropriate choice for the screening, given that the film is set in The Big Apple. The PR campaign also took advantage of the link between the city's initials and one of Domoto's catchphrases in the movie, "nigitte yaru!" (translated as "I will crush you!").

At the event, Domoto introduced himself in English by saying "I'm Sushi Prince," which was greeted with a round of applause. When asked about a possible sequel, he seemed hopeful that the film gets turned into a series. However, the film still has not been given any formal release dates outside of Japan, where it opened on April 19.

Charts: Madonna at #1 again after almost 18 years
Wed, May 7, 2008 (2:01am EDT)
Madonna's latest album, "Hard Candy," topped the Oricon charts this past week with 55,000 in sales...The soundtrack to the "Sushi Ouji!" was the only other new release in the Top 10, and it barely made the cut. Last week's #1, "Dream "A" live" by Arashi, fell to #5 while BENNIE K and Perfume kept their spots at #2 and #3, respectively.

Speaking of "Sushi Ouji!," the singles chart was led by that movie's theme song, "No more" by Koichi Domoto (released under the name of his character, Tsukasa Maizu). It sold near 111,000 copies...

it hasnt shown up anywhere on the net where I visit so Im guessing it's probably not out on DVD yet. However when it is, Love Song said they will probably be subbing it (the same group that did the drama).
