Japanese TV dramas
I found myself addicted to Japanese TV dramas recently. The urge started off by 'Orange Days' (which I liked a lot) starring Tsumabuki Satoshi & Shibasaki Kou. Then the talk of the town 'Densha Otoko', which followed by 'Slow Dance', starring Tsumabuki again. It seems that Tsumabuki has an air of cheerfulness surrounding him, like the warm sunshine on winter days that make you feel so comfortable & safe to look at him. No wonder he is regarded as a 'iyashi kei' (healing category) actor. I finished watching 'majo no jouken' (a very old one) before the end of last year and currently watching 'Lunch no joou', starring Tsumabuki again!!!
Because of 'Slow Dance', I noticed Fujiki Naohito again, so I have also d/l 'High school teacher', will watch it later. It seems that 'One litre of tears' are very popular now, should I d/l it as well? Better ask Joki for comments as he's watching it now.
These Japanese dramas are like crash courses for brushing up my Japanese. The Japanese channel strikes back! It had already blocked my Italian channel (inside my brain) before I realized it.
If Tsumabuki is a 'iyashi kei' actor, then Ken Hirai is a 'iyashi kei' singer, at least for me.
