Yeah i found it on AmazonJP that they were giving it a bluray release. It’s been 3 months since I still haven’t seen anyone uploads HD version of it though. Welp, at least this one has bluray. Lipstick didn’t even get a DVD release, only VHS tapes and SD TVrip lol
which ones would you recommend the most?? So far I have watched KKK93 & KKK03 and Papakatsu. Rn I'm starting Lipstick.
JSKJSKASDG IKR that GAP is a bit too much but it really didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. you really should check Utsukushii Hito out. I even wrote a whole ass review for it lol

About Lipstick, yeah the ending was pretty confusing. I lean towards the happy ending as well, tbh it’d kill me if that wasn’t a happy ending after all that shit had happened. I agree that it was a really good drama, such an underrated classic.
And don’t judge me I LOVE KKK93’s ENDING. i love everything about it. i think the ending was perfect. of course, it destroyed me as well, I stopped breathing and cried my eyes out when i saw their last scene. it’d be nice if they'd got a happy end but that ending somehow tied everything together and made the drama more beautiful.
And no, I didn’t mean that Kono yo no Hate also has bad ending. By “dark” i mean the story as a whole. Actually i’m still not sure if its ending can be considered good or bad, it’s not an open ending either, it’s... really hard to say. But the level of destroy, this one i can tell you, was more than KKK93 by 3-4 times at least LOL it’s an excellent drama nonetheless.
Really though, I think one of the reasons got me so emotionally invested in his dramas is because of the way he destroys us with all those feelings. And lorddd, he does it so well.
It’s as fucked up as... no, it’s fucked up way beyond what i had expected when i read the tags. I really liked it. And her smile at the last few seconds, damn.

good choice with Lipstick, it’s one of my favorite from him along with KKK93. I’d also recommend Kono yo no Hate though I should warn you that it’s his (or probably japanese) darkest drama. Miseinen is really good too, it starts off quite slow but gets intense in the 2nd half. I haven’t seen much of his 2000s works, but I recommend Bara no nai Hanaya and Love Shuffle, those are the 2 dramas that brought his talent to my notice.
after watching half of his dramas i feel like his main mentality is "men are weak and friendship (especially women's friendship) is the strongest thing in this universe"
just finished it. yeah it's a Nojima Shinji drama alright lol there's a lot of similarities to his previous dramas, but still quite different. it was like an onion, just keep peeling layer after layer, secret after secret until the very last episode. The ending was kinda weak imo but overall i enjoyed it. 8/10.
Also so much props to the composer that did the soundtrack for this drama, beautiful job!! I’d love to listen the whole album separately but I can’t find it anywhere. I don’t even know if it has an album.
Oh I’m assuming you haven’t watched the 1993 one then? Or was it a sarcastic question? (Sorry I can’t really tell). Well in 1993, he was a total psychopathic asshole that suffered the lack of love from his childhood, which was really pathetic. It was hard to watch and I could see why it affected him in 2003 but I’m glad the writer let him back and gave him a good development.
Planning to watch this but how is the nudity? I usually watch my dramas in the living room and I don't want things…
In case you still need to know, the nudity is mild. although there is a character always walks around the house naked, there are no female nipples or genitals shown (those are all cleverly covered). Also there’s a sex scene at the end of Ep2 that lasts for about 2 seconds.
