Admired his acting skills since Ruruoni Kenshin, but just delving into his all his works again after Marry my husband, and regretted not watching them before. He has so many notable and great works I've cried a lot especially on the Emperor's cook and when cats disappear from this world.
Glass Heart being his idea since 7 years ago and why he became a producer to make it come true? Mad respect to this guy, hope he gets to create more interesting works. Love his dedication to anything he does. It's obvious with how differently he can just portray each character.
He's a man on a mission to make J-drama's become more popular and visible internationally that's why he brought this to Netflix, as he says so himself as well. I'm all here for it.
If you only know him as kenshin, wataru, tendo or harumichi, you'll be surprised at his range as mugita or tokuzo. He's amazing in any character he plays, even is it's a foolish one.
On my 4th re-watch, will probably do so until I get tired and IDK until when lol, I mean for me everything was perfect, especially the music, cinematography and the acting, loved it all. There's also mad respect for Takeru who produced this and bringing it to Netflix wanting to give more visibility on J-drama's. This man is really on a mission for the world to appreciate J-drama's and I'm all here for it.
I kind of understand the lack of chemistry comments I see, but nonetheless, I still find them adorable, it didn't feel forced to me considering the girl has been admiring him since the beginning, but I do feel the gap since we didn't see much reciprocity from Naoki who was too obsessed with music and one, where they didn't give us insight on what or how he thinks of akane, so when the romance plot came in, it felt lacking, but it also kind of makes sense, considering how the novel ends.
NOVEL SPOILER ALERT I read on X, a year after, Naoki dies and she ends up with Sakamoto and they get married.
Which hurts, but if there's a S2 and that's the direction, it clicks that their love for each other is more based on their love for music as well. These 4 people literally don't talk to each other aside from when music is involved lol
Btw haven't read the novel, but I'm assuming anyway that Naoki will be happy for them if he knows how it ends anyway T_T
