Such a fun idea and great read. I could just envy the ability to churn out such extensive work! For me as someone who exclusively watches J-dorama, my choices would be:
Banker - "Hanzawa Naoki" Barista - "Manhattan Love Story" Broadcaster - "Welcome Back Mr. McDonald" Doctor - "Shiroi Kyoto" (2003 one) Forester/Ranger - "Wood Job!" Chef - "Grand Maison Tokyo" Handyman - "Mahoro Ekimae Bangaichi" Prosecutor - "HERO" Teacher - "GTO"
The guy is hell of a legend, I recognized his name from my uncles, even long before diving into J dorama, films and joining MDL. A great tribute article from MDL's most prolific and experienced Japanese writers. Much obliged for this great piece.
She always has been slim even though her cheeks were chubby in her gravure days. She seems to be under stressful circumstances lately. She posted on her Instagram regarding some incidents with weekly magazine reporters. Seems these reporters are becoming more intrusive on her privacy as she and Tori Matsu are kind of the big couple. I have also read elsewhere that she will probably take some time off from acting. T_T Her recent dorama were all superb and I am really thankful for that. She's a strong personality and will definitely come back stronger.
Please pardon the tardy reply; I have not been on MDL in over a year. I appreciate your letting me know. Is this…
Only some are available on JP wiki, we tried to add as much info as possible by referring other available sources. You can search on MDL by using tags. Specific on the ones I add, you can find them in the list I made "My MDL contributions (Added titles)".
Thanks for this innovative article, a really good read. I bet it's so much fun assembling such stellar cast. Kohinata is a fixed, must-in actor in this kind of story whereas any other actors and roles could be shifted or shuffled. Maybe Osugi Ren could do well in that role but sadly he's no longer with us. God bless his soul. IMO, Ando Sakura could also be MC, that will probably mirror her performance in Manpuku and Yutori. :D
E1. I FREAKING LOVED IT. First of all, let me say that I loved Kuroki Haru and Takenouchi Yutaka so much. Their…
Try KimuTaku's HERO, way lot better than this! Don't get me wrong, this is a decent dorama but I watched HERO way before this. I see many of references to HERO, so I am not very excited on this. I think you will love HERO too.
