That wasn’t a dead fish kiss. That was Minato overflowing with longing but being mindful of Yutaka’s feelings… a careful first kiss. Anything more would have been out of place in this moment. Very well done.
As for Minato's dad... I competely agree with you... he's the best dad!!

Enjoy!!! :))

I posted about that song too, further down in the comments (about 12 days ago) :)

Singer Inaba Koushi did a live version of his theme song ‘Stray Hearts’ at The First Take. Check it out!

Meanwhile... Japanese actor Yakusho Kōji, director Kore-eda Hirokazu, and screenwriter Sakamoto Yuji won some pretty important prizes...

We all knew from the start, dear.

dramanice or dramacool

It is sung by B'z singer Inaba Kōshi. But the original (from 1977!) is by Inoue Yōsui: https://youtu.be/9ArXd0zD9zM

For those of you wondering… the song that starts playing whenever anything starts (not) happening between Michi and Makoto is called Dansu Wa Umaku Odorenai【ダンスはうまく踊れない】(which translates to ‘I can’t dance well’). The original song is by Inoue Yōsui (1977), but this drama version is by Inaba Kōshi, who’s the singer of the iconic J-rock band B’z (they’ve been going since 1988). I’d recognize his voice anywhere.

It’s hard to find the drama version of the song on YouTube, but this is the original by Inoue: https://youtu.be/9ArXd0zD9zM

Inaba also did the drama’s original theme song, ‘Stray Hearts’, his first dorama song as a soloist. This is a cover version (can’t find the original on YouTube yet): https://youtu.be/jH0tCDZXQVA

My favorite B’z OST of course is Buzzer Beat’s ‘Ichibu to Zenbu’: https://youtu.be/eJ-FOKIFGKw

And if you’ve fallen for Inaba’s voice (who wouldn’t) then check out his awesome performance of ‘Hane’, on The First Take… posted just this week!: https://youtu.be/rrfv8SPQ32c

No chemistry whatsoever… not between the two actors… and not between me and this series.

It's now subbed on dramanice. Under the name 'A Far Shore'. Or 遠いところ in Japanese.

YamaPi remaking Kame's drama LOL

He better have a cameo...

It’s because they are masters at slice of life stories.

Thank you for your "spastic drivel"... very entertaining!! 🤣🤣

Allergic? Do you get a rash, or something? Do you need an EpiPen. I mean... jeez. It's fine if BL is not your genre, but what a way to express it. Not cool!

I loved this film. Previous works by director Imaizumi Rikiya I've seen are 'Their Distance', 'The Cat Escaped', and 'His'. All of them, including 'Call me Chihiro' have human connections at their heart. I'll definitely be checking out more of his work!

"Fans" don't get to have a say.

Nice!

Her dad's an artist too... and musician... and actor... You might have seen him in one or two Japanese dramas and movies... or in Thor.
