Food TV in Japan and a little 'Good Luck' picspam

I saw this article today, and I immediately thought of Ogawa and Shinkai stuffing themselves on sushi in the jdorama Good Luck! They are soooo cute! Yes, my brain works in tangential ways like this.

The Japanese constantly outdo themselves with the food thing and some of the things they are eating these days make me turn very green.

Ah Ogawa and Shinkai, only they can make eating and endless insults seem hilarious and sexy ;) All those plates are hers and I love it when he snatches the food away from her just to irritate her. *giggle*

Love the captions and the picture selection. That episode 3 scene is also hilarious, poor Shinkai - so unwelcome ;) But then she does gatecrash his solo okonomiyaki eating effort in episode 4 ....

Hee! I'm glad you liked this! I was being totallly serious when I said the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the article was Shinkai and Ogawa - actually it was mostly Ogawa. I have visions of her little stuffed cheeks on an alarmingly frequent basis nowadays whenever I think about food or happen to be quite hungry. I love a woman who enjoys her meals! :D

And you're right - these two are hilarious in their bickering over plates of sushi. When I went looking for the right pictures, I was helplessly giggling at my desk today. The sushi place in episode 1 never fails to crack me up.

Um...you probably put this on your website, and I'm being lazy, but what is okonomiyaki?

because of watching good luck, i ventured to my first Kaiten Sushi (revolving sushi bar)... :D

i really like preppy takuya.. *sigh*

I've never even seen a Kaiten Sushi place, although I have seen revolving dish places before, just not sushi. It sounds wonderful to me, because yum, I love sushi!

Yeah, I think his Good Luck look is my preference amongst all his different "looks." I only wish that he smiled more often in Good Luck...if there was one thing I could change, that would be it. :)

whats good with revolving sushi bars its that you get to eat more of different kinds as its not a heapful of sliced rolls, normally its 2 or 4 pieces in a plate. :) i think i have a post on this, but our pics came out blurry since the sushi was "moving" LOL.

preppy takuya is love. and his relationship with his brother is funny. like he kicks him and stuff. its mean but funny and endearing at the same time. ;)

After about the second or third episode, I think I loved all the characters in Good Luck - and I say that only because I hated Koda at first. HATED him. But as soon as he grew some layers, I could like him. Basically he's an extremely damaged version of Shinkai - otherwise, how could Togashi have loved him for all these years when he was so mean to her and everyone?

Anyway, the whole ensemble cast is good, and so are all the relationships - even the smaller ones like, as you say, Shinkai's relationship with his brother, and also with his dad. And then there's the wacky neighbor who keeps calling him Sho-chan, or whatever. They did a great job with this series!
