Well...it's been some time since I've last posted. I guess Twitter and FB have filled my need to blog. I keep getting requests to chronicle my apparently witty thoughts and feelings. Perhaps I will get back on the blogging band wagon. Though...it will most likely default to ramblings on J-things.
I just started watching 新参者 (Shinzanmono/Newbie). It's giving some serious Ikebukuro West Gate Park vibes. Nipponbashi seems to be as much a character in this as Ikebukuro was in IWGP. It's also got the bizarre mix of humor and gritty depravity the way IWGP did. Though so far I'd have to say IWGP is better...but I'm not even 1/2 way through the 1st episode. I definitely intrigued and will keep watching. Also, the lead being played by the delicious Abe Hiroshi only helps things.
Also...what is with all the scenes with characters shitting (something else in common with IWGP)? I'm wondering if this will be a recurring thing...or what. All it does is make me think the characters have dirty poo hands (like certain co-workers of mine who shall remain identified only by their tendency to cry)
Related to IWGP, I want to watch another drama with Katou Ai. I enjoy her. I know she isn't a stellar actress but I think she's capable and I have fun watching her. Shame she's not been in much since Umizaru.
