[Discussion] Last Friends - Nagasawa Masami/Ueno Juri/Eita

Post by tsurashi313 » Feb 15th, '08, 03:07

A new and upcoming drama for the Spring 2008 called "Last Friends (ラスト・フレンズ)" wth an amazing cast so far.

Starting on April 10 2008 every Thursday at 10 PM:
Last Friends tackles issues that afflict the current generation. Michiru's mother has brought a man back to their home and she is bullied at her workplace where she works as a beauty parlour assistant. She starts cohabiting with her boyfriend, a good young man who works at the Child Welfare Division and the only person who can give her emotional support, but ends up the victim of domestic violence and becomes fearful of love. The boyishly charming Ruka was a classmate of Michiru's in junior high school. She has performed brilliantly as a motocross racer and aims to win the national championship, but as the story progresses, a deep worry that she can neither confide in her parents or close friends grows evident. Takeru is a hair and makeup artist acquainted with Ruka. He is a good confidant to females due to his kindness and perceptiveness, and finds himself attracted to Ruka but has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life. --jade_frost
*For more information, check through the post.
Cast: Nagasawa Masami as Aida Michiru, Ueno Juri as Kishimoto Ruka, Eita as Mizushima Takeru, Nishikido Ryo as Oikawa Sosuke, Mizukawa Asami as Minami

I am very excited to see Ueno Juri, Eita, and Mizukawa Asami (coincidentally all from Nodame Cantabile ^^ ) in this upcoming Spring 2008 Japanese drama. :lol

This drama will be hardsubbed by Kioku Fansubs!

Although I am not his fan, it is true to see Nishikido Ryo as a supporting actor. I heard that he will be playing the abusive boyfriend. XD

It has been confirmed that Kioku Fansubs will be hardsubbing this drama! Yay! :D

It would be refreshing to watch Ueno Juri act as a motocross racer.

This drama is currently the holder of the 1st spot for my Spring 2008 watchlists.

The cast is superb; Masami, Juri and Eita in one drama, I cannot ask for more. Hmmm... Looking forward to some Eita/Asami interactions. Damn. I need something to fill in my Mine/Kiyora fetish.

The show's premise has the makings of a vey complex and fascinating love triangle. I have a hunch that the writers intend to add their own twist to the usual menage between one man and two women by reversing the gender roles between Ueno Juri and Eita. Her occupation is as butch as his is fey, and the phrase "unmentionable burden in her heart" has the L-word written all over it.

So in one house there live a bull dyke who regularly dresses in racing leather, a sissy who probably colors his own hair, and a battered woman whose disenchantment with traditional male+female romance may leave her open to exploring more (ahem) unorthodox relationship paradigms. The prospect of any kind of sexual tension between Masami Nagasawa and Ueno Juri would make this the must-see show of the season. Merciful drama gods, please make it so.

Nishikido Ryo plays a guy with a dual nature. He's a good young man working at child welfare but also has the tendency to behave violently towards his girlfriend.

Mizukawa Asami will be the owner of the house that Ueno Juri, Nagasawa Masami and Eita share.

Well done joeboygo, you have raised my expectations of this drama so high that the actual one cannot possibly meet them :P

But seriously, I always welcome more experimental and edgy stuff in Japanese dramas, so long as they're well-written and engaging. This sort of psychological drama is just the kind of thing that hardly gets done. I'm thinking Yume no California, but more realistic; probably something with a Nozawa Hisashi or Nojima Shinji touch. Can Asano Taeko (Kamisama, mou sukoshi dake; Love 2000; the Ooku series) do it?

Anyhow, even with what we know of the drama, this seems like a good chance for Nagasawa Masami to prove her acting chops by playing a 'damaged' character. (Not counting the one in Sekachuu.) Nishikido too, since he usually plays the nice boyfriend.

P.S. What could the title mean? :whistling:

Ryo-chan plays the role of Shimura? Does that mean he will play a bad guy?
I can't imagine how he will be :cry:
Anyway, i hope that he will do his job well ^^, even if that's mean his role will be hated by everybody... :pale:

I just heard about this I'm so excited!! Kinda like an odd Nodame Cantabile reunion plus Masami. hahaha I am a big Eita fan though, so I'm excited to see how he will do. Ueno Juri, I think will be really good. I've read she is actually an athletic person.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Visually, it's all coming together quite well. Nagasawa Masami's hair says "eat me" while Ueno Juri's says "vagitarian." With matching outfits to boot! And what's this? Were they on a shopping date? A shot of the two holding hands after Ueno pays the bill would have been nice. Very nice.

If there ever was a dorama that merited a doujinshi, this would be it.

If anyone hasn't watched the CM, I found a link:

It seems like there might be a strong relationship with the characters of Juri and Masami... (??)

I really like the CM. As someone said earlier, very short (30 sec).

@lzydata: thanks for the link !

yea, I think the CM has lots of meanings too, that's why I like it a lot :) At the same time it doesn't show anything but say a lot... really looking forward !

And about Ryo's role as a DV, I can't wait to see it! All his previous role was the nice guy but I think the bad guy (well, his role isn't 100% bad but still) suits him better. Ryo isn't famous in Johnny's Entert. for having an evil personnality ? :lol

SWEETNESS! Just found out that Utada Hikaru's new single from her new album will be a theme song to this drama, which prompted my curiosity...and dude...I can't wait for this new drama! :goggle:

I enjoy the actors and actresses from their previous projects. And best of all I am really curious about this drama in regards to bending gender roles and relationships. Will it be lighthearted despite the heavy psychological and relational issues?

I hope so...because it means that I will have something to fill in that Coffee Prince (Kdrama) void, which is by the way, one of most well-written and acted Kdrama I've seen this year!

And not to mention Juri trading in the piano for motocross??? Uber awesome!

kinda off-topic but yea, Coffe Prince was really a well written kdrama! and the actors were all great, I was really moved :lol

and about juri, she's so talented !! she was PERFECT in nodame cantabile and from the CM, she suits her new role! I really like her, aww I'm really looking forward for this drama!
and hikki singing the theme song ? woaa great ! it's certainly a plus for the drama :)

I've just looked at all of those; if Ueno's character is not a great big lesbian, I'm eating my hat.

I have very high expectations for this drama too. I'm going to guess that this drama will give drama watchers who only watch for idols, another aspect of J-dramas to watch. ^^; Convert them if you will. XDD;

I just hope this drama won't disappoint. To me, it feels like this can go either way, depending on the script and on the directing. And after watching "Ashita no Kita Yoshio", my standards for a good drama has gone up, and I've placed my highest expectations for this one considering the cast. >____<"

Thanks for the scans!

This is definitely going on my watch list.

After seeing the trailer, reading up on it and the fact it has a beautiful theme song, it's a must watch for me.
Looking forward to it.

Thank you meoinkie2 for the scans and raven_frost for the trailer!!

The theme song works our really well...it looks like the drama is going to be intense, which means strong acting from everyone.

Yay...I can finally be on the same boat of a drama that is in the present, rather than jump on the bandwagon 4 months or a year after it releases :lol
