Winter 2010 Japanese Drama!
A new season of Japanese dramas and I’m excited! This is probably one of the better seasons in a while. Here is a quick run down that will be airing this week!
Majisuka Gakuen: This actually just aired its first episode, its fantastic! Not much info on it yet but it stars AKB48 and its about an all girls high school, not you’re average Girls high school, this high school is full of gangs! I see this being a great series along the lines of Gokusen and GTO, the only thing is that the person who will save this school is not a teacher but a student. I will be watching and hoping that someone subs it.
Shinsengumi PEACE MAKER: This Drama is based on the manga with the same name. The story is about a kid wanting to join the Shinsengumi to avenge the death of his parents. This one I’m a bit scared of. It has the potential of being great yet they also have the potential of ruining a great anime/manga. So far I’m scared that it might suck. No trailer for it so no way of knowing if its lighthearted or extremely serious. Can’t wait till I get my hands on this show.
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge: Another one based on a popular anime/manga. I always thought Yamato Nadeshiko would make a fantastic Japanese Drama, nowt I get to see if its true. It stars Kamenashi Kazuya best known for being part of KAT-TUN and Akira from Nobuta wo Produce. It also stars NEWS member Tegoshi Yuya. I can’t wait to check it out, Nakahara Sunako is being played by an actor I’ve never seen before Omasa Aya, I hope she does a good job.
Tokujo Kabachi!!: The only reason I want to watch this is because it stars Horikita Maki probably best known for her role of Ashiya Mizuki in Hana-Kimi and Sakurai Sho best known as a member of Arashi. a great cast and Maki-chan is just too cute to miss.
So those are the four that I will defiantly be watching once they start airing.
Other interesting Dramas this season:
Angel Bank: This could be a possible Gokusen clone except she ends up leaving the school she is teaching for a new career.
Ryoma den: another series based during Bakumatsu period focusing on Sakamoto Ryoma a revolutionary instead of focusing on the Shinsengumi.
Massugu Na Otoko: This one stars Sato Ryuta, he is a fantastic actor, He was great in ROOKIES. another series that I want to watch him in is Konkatsu! that aired last summer.
So there you have it. This season is going to be great!
