Done with Last Friends...well, almost... and Done with Oishii Kankei

.
Wow...dunno why I waited so long to finish Last Friends. It was great. I'll have to put up some screenshots over the weekend. I'm actually done with the original 11 episodes and I only need to watch the SP episode to really be done with it. I'm glad things worked out the way it did. I thought I was going to be disappointed but I was not. I would watch this again and I probably will.

I also liked Oishii Kankei a lot. I knew how it was going to end even though they threw in another guy and another girl into the story. Only thing I didn't like was the crappy version I had to watch. It was 1996 I think so it was before HD. Other than that, which had nothing to do with the drama, it was great.

Next drama to watch I think will be CHANGES with Hiroshi Abe. At some point I'm going to have to start watching Bloody Monday 2. Maybe I'll go back and finish watching Ashita no Kita Yoshio before CHANGES or Bloody Monday 2. I'll have to think about that and see.

I was going to re-start watching Full Metal Alchemist again but today I started watching Bleach instead. First episode was good and I'll probably keep watching it. There are about 260 episodes so far and it looks like they're 1/2 hr shows so I should be able to knock alot of them off fairly quickly. I was worried when I only saw dubbed versions which suck. If I can't get them subbed, it's not worth watching. I may not know enough Japanese to understand the original versions but for me, something doesn't seem right watching it dubbed. I'd much rather watch it the way it was intended and use the subs. I prefer the soft subs so I can hard sub them myself.

Okay...tomorrow will watch a few more episodes of Bleach (I hope I find out why it's called Bleach...) and I'll watch ni episodes of Ashita no Kita Yoshio.

Oishii Kankei & CHANGE

.
Started watching Oishii Kankei again before I took my small break (after I was done with Kekkon Dekinai Otoko).

CHANGE is the next drama with Hiroshi Abe in it that I'm going to watch. I haven't decided if I'm going to watch it while I watch Oishii Kankei or if I'll wait until I'm done with it. At some point I need to finish Last Friends.

OFF TOPIC: Mmmm...I made pizza from scratch today. I'm having the last 2 slices now. I made it very very thin crust and the toppings I used were turkey sausage (patties, i diced them), spiced ham (4 slices, diced into rectangles), yellow peppers (diced) and of course mozzarella cheese (low fat skim). I wish I had mushrooms...next time. I'm going to make it again this weekend.

Back to dramas...I got my hands on the movie "Air Doll". I watched about 30 min of it. I may watch the rest tomorrow...definitely by Sunday.

Last Episode of Kekkon Dekinai Otoko

.
Getting ready to watch the last episode of Kekkon Dekinai Otoko.

Hiroshi Abe is so handsome..and he's a brilliant actor. So far, he's been great in each drama/movie I've watched. After I'm done with this I'm going watch "Hana and Alice" (movie) with him in it while I watch "Oishii Kankei". I'll have to see what else I can get my hands on with Hiroshi Abe in it.

I've been downloading Bloody Monday 2; once they're all uploaded (cuz it's still airing) I'll watch the whole series. I'm also interested in "Code Blue".

After I'm done with this last episode, I'll post a few screenshots. I'll make sure I add some of Kato Sheila.

.

Change of plans again...

.
I couldn't watch the Hotman SP episode cuz there were no subs. I'll have to wait until someone does those. In my frustration, I started watching a different drama instead of Hotman 2.

Started watching Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (The man who can't get married). It's a Hiroshi Abe one. He's a crusty architect in this one. Other than him, I don't recognize anyone else. There's this really pretty girl in it. Her name is Kato Sheila. Her dad is Japanese and her mother is Cuban. She was born in Cuba and speaks Japanese and Spanish and a little English. This is the only picture of her I could find. She's a model and she's been in 3 dramas.



So, I started watching this one instead. I got as far as episode 3 and now I'm waiting for the other episodes to finish downloading. SO...while I wait, I'm going to start watching Oishii Kankei from the beginning.

Oh, I have a few screenshots of Hirosi Abe in this drama. He's got a really really nice ass. It looks so smooth...brand new ass. Not bad for a guy in his 40s...no scars or anything.


The second screenshot is nice but I'll post better screenshots when I start watching the next episode.
.

At Home Dad: FINISHED

.
Finished "At Home Dad" on Wed. Great drama. There's an SP to it but there aren't any subtitles. Bummer. I'll have to keep searching until someone does it.

I started watching "Hotman" again from episode 9 where I left off. I'm in the middle of the last episode now. After I get done with that I'll watch the SP and then "Hotman 2". In between I'll probably watch another Hiroshi Abe movie. After "Hotman 2" I will finish off "Oishii Kankei". I started watching that about two years ago but I never finished.

More Hiroshi Abe screenshots...

.

At Home Dad

.
Just as I suspected. I'm not crazy about Hiroshi Abe with the shorter hair and the clean face. I rather like him with his hair grown out a bit and the facial hair. He just looks nicer that way. Oh, and it's kind of hot how he's so tall he's gotta bend down a bit to fit thru the doorways...LOL I've also realized that I don't like him in regular jeans or pants...he looks really really nice in a suit. AND...I really don't like him in sweaters. He just doesn't look good in them.

I was planning to put some episode screenshots but I realized they ended up being Hiroshi Abe screenshots :P

He's gorgeous...I'll probably end up putting up some more screenshots of him soon.



.

My Sister, My Love & Hero (The Movie)

.
Got done watching "My Sister, My Love" and "Hero", the movie continuation of the drama series.

Hero was great. If you've seen the drama, this won't disappoint. One thing I didn't like though is Amamiya's short hair. I liked her hair from the original series. Other than that, Abe Hiroshi was just gorgeous as usual...I've never seen that man look bad. Uh..he's not that great with the really short hair but I'll take him anyway :o)



My Sister, My Love was very good. Left me wondering how many cases like this there really are. At first I was intrigued and then it was exciting, due to the whole taboo-ness of it...then it was a little gross. Then again, if Matsumoto Jun was my brother...hah all bets are off. He's not very attractive in this movie but that's okay. He's a great actor and so was the girl who played his sister, Iku.




Next up, "At Home Dad" with Hiroshi Abe. I'm looking to watch everything with him in it that I can get my hands on. "At Home Dad" is pretty self explanatory. I'm guessing Hiroshi is the dad that stays home in this drama. Will try and post a short summary and some screenshots after I watch the first episode.

Screenshots: Dragon Zakura (Episode 3)

Finally finished watching Dragon Zakura! WOW..!! This is my favorite so far! I've got a crush on Yamashita Tomohisa (Yajima Yosuke); that boy has such delicious looking lips...hehehehe.
Kind of young..25. Still young enough to be my kid but oh well.

Next for me is a movie called Aoi Tori (Blue Bird). Starring Abe Hiroshi as a teacher again. He's a sub for a class and he's got a stutter. I'll probably watch it tomorrow.

In a few days I'm going to put together a little thing for the stars of Dragon Zakura.

Here are the screenshots for episode 3. The first 6 are from the credits. The rest are in no particular order. I'm not going to put anymore screenshots after these. Sorry for the extra pics of Abe Hiroshi...he's absolutely gorgeous...beautiful eyes, lips..and he's nice and tall at 6'2" AND...I like the crows feet he gets when he smiles. Mmmm... He hardly smiles in this drama..poo.

Screenshots: Dragon Zakura (Episode 2)

.
As promised...


Later...will have screenshots of episode 3 and 4!
.

Dragon Zakura - Episode One

.
So, Abe Hiroshi is a lawyer sent to Ryuuzan High School because it's about to go bankrupt. He's sent there to pretty much close up the school. This is the worst school with none of the kids motivated enough to want to go on to college. Anyone going to that school has given up making something of themselves. Abe Hiroshi, as Sakuragi Kenji, comes up with this plan he is hoping will make him rich and famous. During a meeting, he tells the faculty that he has a plan that will send 5 of Ryuuzan's students to "Todai" (University of Tokyo or "Tōkyō Daigaku", Today for short). University of Tokyo is the most prestigious school in Japan. Of course, everyone thinks he's absolutely nuts to think he can get anyone from that school into Todai. He announces ho the first student to be accepted will be. The teachers aren't convinced. Sakuragi asks for a volunteer to teach the class of special students and nobody wants to do it so he tells them he will do it himself.

SCREENSHOTS:


Better screenshots for next episode.

Done With HERO

.
Loved HERO. Highly recommend it. Now that I've seen the 11 episode drama, I have to wait until I have the SP episode. I have the movie ready to watch after I'm done with the SP episode. In the meantime, I'm going to go start watching "Dragon Zakura" with Abe Hiroshi in it.

Posting pics of my newest guy, Kimura Takuya. I've also got a few of Abe Hiroshi as well.

KIMURA TAKUYA:








ABE HIROSHI:




And that does it for now. Off to go watch "Dragon Zakura". Will have some screenshots of the first episode and then a few of Abe Hiroshi and of course any news guys I see... :o)
.

Hero - Episode One

.
So, the next drama is Hero. It's from 2001. The story is about this guy, Kohei Kuryu, who never finished junior high but went on to get his GED and then manages to pass the bar exam and becomes a prosecutor. He's got his own style..he doesn't dress like a lawyer (T-shirt and overalls?) like all the others at the prosecutor's office. He's clever though.

I'm watching this one cuz someone told me about the movie once and it sounded interesting. I had gotten my hands on the movie but it didn't have subtitles. What a drag. Then I saw that Abe Hiroshi is in it and mmm...I knew I had to see it. Abe Hiroshi is muah...hot. Also in this drama is Kohinata Fumiyo who was Yonemori Shomei, from "Ruri no Shima".

First episode had 2 cases. One was about an underwear bandit. It was funny watching Kohei figure out what really happened while everyone has already formed an opinion.

Off to watch episode 2 tonight.

Waters (Gigolo Wannabe)

Only watched this movie cuz Oguri Shun is in it. I'll watch anything with him in it. I noticed Narumi Riko (Ruri from the drama "Ruri's Island") was in it. She's such a cute girl. And I also discovered a new cutie,


Story is about 7 guys.

One is a street performer (Oguri Shun).















One was a banker.















One is a married man who is an interior coordinator.















One was a businessman.















Two were basketball players.

New cutie is on the right. Not a great picture but...he looked good in his tux. There's a group pic below with him in the tux. He's the one on the far right.















They all went to find jobs as hosts. They arrive on their first day for work and are met by an old man and his granddaughter, Chika (Narumi Riko).















The grandfather, who is the owner of the club, "Dog Days", tells the boys that the manager he hired ran off with their deposits. The owner feels bad for them and he tells the boys they can run the club. It turns out that Chika has a heart condition. She needs a transplant that she can only get overseas. It would cost 10 million yen for that and they just don't have the money.

After the place is almost destroyed by a typhoon, the boys redecorate the place and plan to make the 10 million yen for Chika.

It turns out to be a slightly cheesy movie but the twist in it, the fact that Oguri Shun and Narumi Riko are in it, AND the discovery of a new boy, saves it with 3 KS.
