90% of the translations on Japanese dramas come from d-addicts forum, where users do it from their own time (without any compensation). Then streaming sites come in, take their subs and post them on their own site just to earn profit (without asking permission from the translators). And what's worse, sometimes the streaming sites remove all credits from the author.

Legal streaming sites are obviously the exception. They hire people to translate the dramas they stream.

The streaming sites don't actually translate dramas, so it's pointless to ask them.

It doesn't have a sad ending, but it does have several sad moments. I still highly recommend it.

The movie takes place about 10 years after the drama. At the end of the drama, Tensho period (named by Nobunaga) had just started, but in the movie it's already the 10th year of Tensho. Although, all the relationships seem to continue from the same place as they ended in the drama. Really weird.

If someone's looking for a private tracker where to download lots of high quality Japanese Variety Shows, send me a message. They're not subbed though, so keep that in mind.

According to a poll* taken a month ago, Ninomiya is the most well known member of Arashi.

*Most well known Japanese person according to all age groups.

You know the streaming sites don't make the subtitles themselves, right? avieamber from d-addicts is translating A Life and the first episode came out today. avieamber made the subbing announcement already in December.

The Hollywood movie Eight Below is based on the Japanese movie Nankyoku Monogatari (1983), which was based on the real story that happened in 1958. The 1983 Japanese movie tells the same story as this drama.

Se on aika hyvä dorama. ;)

Don't really understand the need to write the birthday wishes here, but as I really like the actor: Happy birthday, Domoto!

Check out his drama "Kimi to Ita Mirai no Tame ni" if you want to watch something awesome!

This drama is really hard to find. doramax264 has it hardsubbed, but the quality is horrible (VHSRips). You can find the DVDRips including soft subs at d-addicts.

If you're too lazy to search, I can give the link to the torrent. ;)

It's available at Asia Torrents with eng subs.

It has not been subbed yet, but you can find the raw here: http://doramax264.com/19765/doctors-saikyou-no-meii-tv-asahi-drama-special-2013/
