Sorry about the suckiness happening at the moment.

Your snark of this drama is hilarious. I laughed the whole way through this post. I am now curious about how much this series was influenced by Twilight...

all the cute boys are from yokohama calledinvain July 15 2009, 05:24:24 UTC

I have spontaneously decided this - admittedly only because Yujin and Osamu are from there. And okay, I'm biased because largest Chinatown in Japan, and, hello, MY PEOPLE.

but yokohama is a very popular place to film for dramas, I gather - the ferris wheel and it's been the site of many a romance drama, i guess?

I'll have to check it out once I get to Japan - when and if. :D

but it's a sign of how terrible (okay I may be serving up the hyperbole pie here - but generally --- uncomfortable) my life is going that coming home to watch shamelessly bad tv show automatically puts me in better spirits.

The little simple pleasures in life, really.

Then why haven't I found any?!? wistfulmemory July 15 2009, 05:42:49 UTC

I didn't realize Osamu was from Yokohama. *am a bad fangirl* I went to Yokohama's Chinatown two Christmases ago, though it was a very cold and windy day, so I didn't spend too much time there. I should try to hit it up again before I leave ( ... )

they must be there! they certainly produce cute artists/musicians and so on and so forth. :D

Yeah, he is. Kanagawa prefecture, Yokohama's the capital city, right?

The distances in Jdramas always amuse me - the running to places and everything - atadan took place in some area of Tokyo, but the trick heart castle was located in Gunma. Quite a long way to walk/run from the central city.

I'm hoping to be in Japan within the next two years to teach English. Or Taiwan. Either one. I'd be happy.

:Simple pleasures rock, I agree.

Yokohama is supposed to be *REALLY ROMANTIC*, if I recall correctly. Couples tend to want to go there together and all that, so there're quite a few dramas that get filmed there. I think JE's Kame's DRAMA OF ABSOLUTE LOVE with Ayase Haruka and Hiraoka Yuta was supposed to be there.

Anyway--I think the printed cross is my favorite character so far.

you're right, Tatta...um, yes, what you said was filmed there, and I believe Innocent Love was set in Yokohama as well.

Couples go for the ferris wheel, I've read.

The printed cross is ROX0RS.

I can see that... wistfulmemory July 15 2009, 12:50:24 UTC

I see couples everywhere when I visit Downtown Yokohama. It always makes my day when I notice scenes from dramas set in that area, especially if I've visited that specific place.
