Summer Drama
I'm excited!
Summer dramas sounds more promising than this season, I just download Puzzle and Osen, I only download 2 episodes of Ryoteki na Kanojo, and honestly, I haven't watched all of them XD
Why tokusatsu interest me more than major drama? =P
In spring season, all that I watched are : Hachi-One Diver (tokusatsu? It was midnight drama for sure), Engine Sentai Go-Onger, Kamen Rider Kiva, some random movies.
I'n going to watch Puzzle 2008, Osen and Sasaki Fusai no Jingi Naki Tatakai (this is spring season, right?) though.
Now move to summer drama, my watch list (all the informations taken from d-addicts and wikipedia) :
1. 魔王(Maou)
Time: Friday 10pm
Starting Date: July 4
Offcial Site: http://www.tbs.co.jp/maou2008/
Cast: Ohno Satoshi, Ikuta Toma, Kobayashi Ryoko, Uehara Misa, Tanaka Kei, Oshinari Shugo, Kichise Michiko, Shinohara Mai, Gekidan Hitori, Miyaka Yuji, Ishizaka Koji
Toma, Ohchan, Shugo, detectivemurderthiller story, how can I resist??? XD
Plus, the Kobayashi Ryoko girl looks alike Go-On Yellow, hopefully she can really act =P
2. シバトラ (Shibatora)
Time: Tuesday 9pm
Starting Date: July 8
Official Site: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/shibatora/
Cast: Koike Teppei, Minami Akina, Ohgo Suzuka, Tsukaji Muga, Miyagawa Daisuke, Daito Shunsuke, Naoki Kawano, Konno Narumi, Miura Ryosuke, Suenaga Haruka, Uchida Shige, Sotaro, Imada Koji, Maya Miki
SUZUKA!! I fell in love with this girl since Sexy Voice and Robot, this girl is a great actress, plus another 'detective' story, omg this season just so GREAT XD
3. ３３分探偵 (33 Fun Tantei)
Time: Saturday 11:10pm
Starting Date: Aug 2
Official Site:
Cast: Dohmoto Tsuyoshi
Tsuyoshi XDDDDDDDDD
Damn, it's been too long since his last drama ;___;
another detective story, damn, I'm just a mystery maniac.
The timeslot isn't far from Sushi Ouji! (it was friday 11.15, actually quite different, but...)
Will this one like Sushi Ouji? :D
Since there're a lot of detective drama in summer season.
The I'm still thinking drama list :
1. 太陽と海の教室 (Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu)
Time: Monday 9pm
Starting Date: July 21
Official Site: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/sun-ocean/
Cast: Oda Yuji, Kitagawa Keiko, Yamamoto Yusuke, Okada Masaki, Kitano Kii, Tanimura Mitsuki, Yoshitaka Yuriko, Hamada Gaku, Tomiura Satoshi, Kagimoto Akira, Kurose Manami, Nakamura Yuichi, Omasa Aya, Kaku Kento, Maeda Atsuko, Obinata Fumiyo, Toda Keiko, Yashima Norito, Kichise Michiko, Ikeda Tetsuhiro
Just to be honest, I already sick with 'zomgwhatagreatteachers/heis' drama, and this one just sounds too... generic.
But the casts >.<
Damn, how can they put these great casts in drama like this?
School drama usually lift the actors name though, but this one prep school?
2. ヤスコとケンジ (Yasuko to Kenji)
Time: Saturday 9pm
Starting Date:
Offcial Site: http://www.ntv.co.jp/yasuken/
Cast: Matsuoka Masahiro
The story just sounds too complicated, but actually this sounds interesting and it's Matsuoka's drama, hmm...
3. ここはグリーン・ウッド (Koko wa Gurinuddo)
Time : Monday 23.15
Starting Date : July 2008
Official Site : http://www.greenwood-tv.com/
Cast: Izawa Yuuki, Miura Riki, Sato Yuuichi, Suzuki Hiroki
Another BLish midnight drama, I can't even finish RH+, so...
But Tokyo Ghost Trip (the one before this one) sounds interesting, and it has Yagami Renn, is there any subbing team sub TGT? :D
4. Cat Street
Time: Thursday 8pm
Starting Date: Aug 28
Official Site:
Cast: Tanimura Mitsuki, Ishiguro Hideo, Kimura Ryo, Katsuji Ryo, Miyama Karen
This drama just too shoujou, in my opinion though. But Kai from Den-O and Ryo combination kinda interest me.
5. 正義の味方 (Seigi no Mikata)
Time: Wednesday 10pm
Starting Date: July 9
Official Site: http://www.ntv.co.jp/seigi/
Cast: Shida Mirai, Yamada Yu, Tanaka Yoshiko, Sano Shiro
The concept sounds interesting, moreover Yamada Yu dating Shun Oguri so probably Shun can give her some tips.
I like Shida Mirai but.... Let's see.
The idk drama list :
1. 恋空 (Koizora)
Time: Saturday 7:56 pm
Starting Date:
Official Site : http://www.tbs.co.jp/koi-zora/
Cast: Mizusawa Elena
Many people said that the movie is ZOMGSOGREATANDTOUCHING, but this kind of story is just not my type, moreover I heard that the leading actors performace (in the movie) is just average.
And, from movie to drama, hmm... I hope it won't be slow-paced.
So unless something unusual happen I don't think I'll watch this.
2. モンスターペアレント (Monster Parent)
Time: Tuesday 10pm
Starting Date: July 1
Offcial Site:
Cast: Yonekura Ryoko, Hiraoka Yuta, Sasaki Kuranosuke, Nukumizu Yoichi, Kusakari Masao, Kadono Takuzo
The casts are so-so (though I like Hiraoka Yuta...), the concept sounds a bit interesting, hmm... I just not interested enough.
They should give the better synopsis.
3. Tomorrow
Time: Sunday 10pm
Starting Date: July 6
Official Site: http://www.tbs.co.jp/Tomorrow2008/
Cast: Takenouchi Yutaka, Kanno Miho, Ogawa Tamaki, Kurokawa Tomoka, Jinnai Takanori, Kishibe Ittoku
Medical drama and I only know Kanno Miho from all the casts, bye bye.
4. コード・ブルー＋ドクターヘリ緊急救命＋ (Code Blue ~Doctor Heli Kinkyuu Kyumei)
Time: Thursday 10pm
Starting Date: July 3
Official Site: http://wwwz.fujitv.co.jp/codeblue/index.html
Cast: Yamashita Tomohisa, Aragaki Yui, Toda Erika, Higa Manami, Asari Yosuke, Kodama Kiyoshi, Katsumura Masanobu, Terajima Susumu, Sugimoto Tetta, Ryo, Yanagiba Toshiro
Aragaki was the only reason why I watched 'Papa to Musume no Nanokakan', besides because the storyline sounds interesting, and I didn't really dissapointed because she was extremely cute there.
But I think she can't make me watch this one.
I bet they will put a lot of effort in this one though.

Time: Saturday 9pm
Starting Date: June 21

Time: Tuesday 10pm
Starting Date: July 15
Official Site: http://www.ntv.co.jp/school/
Cast: Fukada Kyoko, Tanihara Shosuke, Natsume Suzu, Maeda Goki

7. 乙女のパンチ (Otome no Punch)

and the concept... Lalala~
9. Yottsu no Uso

Starting Date:
Official Site: http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/4lies/
Cast: Nagasaku Hiromi, Terashima Shinobu, Hada Michiko, Takashima Reiko, Nakamura Toru, Watanabe Ikkei, Nogiwa Yoko
I need more information too, but the casts just don't sounds promising.
So, in general this season sounds a lot promising than spring.
I only had one drama (Puzzle) in my spring drama watch list, but now there're 3 dramas XD
Probably I'll download more than 3 dramas at summer? :D
