tenchijin
happy new year! my first post for the year and hopefully i can get off my lazy ass and update more often than i had in the past year. (yeah, yeah, i know new year's resolutions more often gets broken rather than fulfilled, but one can still aspire to do it, right?! XP)
caught tenchijin (NHK taiga drama) last night, well, morning actually. seems really interesting. apparently oguri shun, masami, fukakyon, shirota yuu, aibu saki, and a lot of well known actors are in it... and of course tsumabuki satoshi top bills the series.
these dramas usually starts out from the very beginning, as the protagonist was growing up and all that, but there was a sort of a preview before the whole story unfolded and tsumabuki, playing the lead character naoe kanetsugu, looked really cute in period costume, he was all smiles ^_^. shun, on the other hand, playing a samurai who was probably a sengoku commander looked serious and pensive.
anyway, after that preview, the drama started out, true enough, with satoshi's character as a little boy of about 7 or so. he was awestruck and amazed when he saw the imposing uesugi kenshin in action. abe hiroshi who plays kenshin looked the part, oozing with the coolness of his character. i think i've never watched abe onscreen before without breaking into a grin or a laugh since i always see him as the funny boke character. this time his character is about as serious as they can get and instead of smiling, i had a thought balloon that had "eeeh?! kakkoii!" written all over it. the young naoe even took home the arrow that kenshin's blade had deflected in a previous scene.
as taiga dramas go .. it looked as if it's going to be really long and i was getting sleepy so i left it hanging hoping to catch the reruns sometime later in the week.
so anyway... yes, it looks promising and i hope some group takes this up and release subs.
