Wow! What a great work! Thank you! I think I’ve watched most of them because, as you wrote, they are the most famous and acknowledged… there are too many more to discover!
I would like to know more about the ones that are originally tv dramas by themselves rather than adapted from a book or manga…

I don't know exactly why is "Mei-chan no Shitsuji" on this list, in any mood it will be ok.
On angry mood, I would recommend LIFE (2007) and Naka nai to Kimeta Hi (2010)

Yes! I saw it! It was lovely! and in one episode, the characters made a tour around Kamakura, that it is highly recommendable!!

Thank you!!! Wonderful topic and recommendations! There are so many great places I've known because of a dorama. I would recommend Dakara Koya - Nagasaki !! I went there after I've seen it and I love Nagasaki!

Thank you and thanks so much for all the hard work all of them do. Recently I've been watching some dramas that are airing, and it is incredible how fast the new episodes are ready, now I'm more aware of how they work really fast. Thank you again!

Thank you! I won't miss it!

Thank you!! He is really one of the greatest actor of his generation. Not being the typical pretty face, he is really attractive.
Just saying that he would have been a better L in Death Note. What a pity for the film! I watched Himomen, thinking he was born for the role of L..

Great article!
I would had loved to have the combination of Kubota Masataka and Matsuyama Kenichi at the same time. They were incredibly good.
You're too kind saying he wasn't bad, but Yamazaki Kento was/is the worst L ever.

I missed Tsumabuki Satoshi and Miyazaki Aoi (Of all time).

My favs between nominees (without order) Takeshi Kaneshiro, Sakaguchi Kentaro, Ayase Haruka, Takeuchi Ryoma, Masataka Kubota, Suda Masaki, Yu Aoi, Miura Haruma, Masaki Okada, Odagiri Joe.

My favs on the list 90-Nakajima yuto, 83-Yoshizawa Ryo, 69-Mackenyu Maeda, 03-Furukawa Yuki

Thank god they didn't choose the same actors as always. It is good not have always just young kids. But the truth is that I would only be interested in Nakamura Tomoya(3), although he has mostly support roles or plays the bad guy.
And the comments are the best! It looks like the people really known them.

Thanks so much to OldAnimeLady and the people who made this poll possible.
but, as someone wrote before in the poll, "this is a popularity contest.
These are just some statistics not meaning the best." It is still interesting to read it.
This is only one side of the great shows that run in Japan, and yes, there is so much more and better to watch!

Thank you very much for these two lists. I would only add Takahashi Hikaru (17) who last year has a main role in Parfait Tic and a support role in Takane no hana

One more year disappointment....Little girls, grow up!!! Do it for yourself!!

Great article!!Thanks! Not a fan, but he really has an amazing career! Wow, my fav only will be the drama Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro

Good job! He is truly growing as an actor and happy to see his friendliness the but in the first paragraph there are some statements which are too much....

Great reminder, Good job! thank you so much!
Some of them I completely forgot the song (Haha ni Naru, Reverse and My lover's secret...) and others are really good (Quartet, Tokyo girl...). And also some of the doramas i didn't watch maybe i will give them a try.
I didn't miss the ones done by Arashi but I really like:
- Hito wa Mita Me ga 100% (Joshi Modoki by JY)
- Hello Harinezumi (Yume Makase by Soil & "Pimp" Sessions feat. Noda Yojiro)
- Ito-kun A to E (Pain, Pain Go Away by Berry Goodman feat. MUTSUKI from Softly)

Anyway, Bravo!!

too early, wow!
