Even when you didn't ask, Spring Dramas 2012!
April has begun and in a couple weeks the new season will be on so here we go!
Ataru.- Nakai Masahiro, Kuriyama Chiaki, Kitamura Kazuki and Tamamamori Yuta. Nakai, who is autistic and a savant, will help a detective (Kitamura Kazuki who seem unable to be anything else) to solve cases.
Kagi no Kakatta Heya.- Ohno Satoshi hangs the Kaibutsu-kun costume and becomes a lock expert at at security company. The cast includes Toda Erika and Sato Koichi.
Legal High.- Sakai Masato (JOKER) is a Lawyer who lives a life a bit farr of the justice he should defend, but sudenly changes his ways. With Aragaki Yui, a rookie lawyer who will help him turn back to his roots. Taguchi Junnosuke is on the cast as well.
37-sai de Isha ni Natta Boku.- Kusanagi Tsuyoshi will be a Todai graduate who after becaming a pachinko player and a hikikomori decides to be a doctor, so he's an intern at 37 years old. With Mizukawa Asami and Kiriyama Renn.
Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri.- Aiba Masaki is a lackluster detective (ok, he fails a lot) who will be helped by a particular cat with the voice of Matsuko Deluxe. Also starring Oomasa Aya and Ohkura Tadayoshi.
Papa wa idol.- with a plot out of a fanfic, THE Nishikido Ryo marries a single mom with 3 kids and a dog. How will he hide it from the showbusiness? and Joshima Shigeru (TOKIO) and cameos by a lot of artists, including Kanjani8.
Mou Ichido Kimi ni Propose.- If you like Takenouchi Yutaka (Nagareboshi, BOSS), he's back as a man who tries to reconstruct his relationshiop with his wife, who suffers partial memory loss. Sounds like an Adam Sandler's movie, but seems to be cheesier.
Hanchou will have another season, number 5! Sasaki Kuranosuke, people love you. XD
Soup Curry.- if you like Oizumi Yo, he's gonna be in it. I haven't found anything but the website, seems like a drama starred by men about a restaurant and includes an AKB48 girl. ^^;;
Kazoku no Uta.- Odagiri Joe an ex rockstar, will be living with his newfound daughters and try to hide it from the public eye, Yusuke Santamaría will revive for this, as Otsuke Nene and I don't know how Kanjiya Shiori decided to be in this.
Tsumi to Batsu, a falsified romance.- with Kora Kengo and Mizukawa Asami (yes, again). Drama adaptation of a manga based in Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment". It will be a WOW WOW special of 6 episodes.
Suitei Yuusai.- a journalist discovers that a criminal who served time in jail for murdering a young girl and whose case he covered 12 years ago, it's actually innocent. How this man will clean his name and rebuild his life? With Kuroki Hitomi, Mimura, Nakamura Toru.
* Answer.- Mizuki Arisa is back in a drama about a detective assigned at the Evidence Division. I like Mizuki Arisa, but this looks boring.
Clover.- A Live action adaptation of the manga, with Kaku Kento who goes all gangsta.
* Toshi densetsu no Onna.- Another detective drama with Nagasawa Masami and Mizobata Junpei (Damn >.>;;)
* Kurohyo 2: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho.- with Saitoh Takumi, based on the play station game. This Yakuza plotted drama includes Yagami Ren, Sato Yuki, Osugi Ren
* Takei Emi will do a doule role in W no Higeki (if you didn't had enough with Bunshin).
* Kaeru no Oujo-sama.- A musical actress, after his career not taking off at broadway, returns to Japan to train a chorus formed by housewives. Starring Amami Yuki, former member of the Takarazuka Revue.
* Cleopatra Onnatachi.- Sato Ruyta will be a plastic surgeon who dislike women. >>;; With Inamori Izumi, Kitano Kie and Miura Shohei
Mirai Nikki "Another World".- starred by Okada Masaki, another live action of a manga who seems a bit of a Death Note battle.
Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou.- Your worst nightmare has become a reality: Akimoto joins his talents with JE's Johnny's Juniors. Co-ed Highschool drama if you wondered about the plot. The only remarkable thing of this is that maybe the Lil' Morimoto, Jesse Lewis this Kyomoto Taiga (who?) and Koki's brother will get their debut chance after this and well, if you follow Team 4, who look pretty plain.
So choose your favorite and stay tuned!
As a random tidbit, if you haven't seen Okada Jesus with a sombrero, here's the new Papico CM.
I demand a wallpaper of this. Probably he filmed on the latino neighbourhood somewhere and not actually traveled just for this. But Aya Uedo went to Rome for a Softbank ad. >>;;
