Proposal Daisakusen プロポーズ大作戦 – Release April 07

Kumo Japan Drama Sneak!!

Japan Drama Story:

The story starts at a wedding ceremony where most of us assume that Iwase Ken (Yamashita Tomohisa) 山下智久 is the bridegroom and Yoshida Rei (Nagasawa Masami) 長澤まさみ is the bride. Turns out that the bridegroom is actually Tada Tetsuya (Fujiki Naohito) 藤木直人, that is their teacher. Iwase Ken and Yoshida Rei knew each other when they are young. They grew up together attending the same school until college. Deep inside their heart they like each other very much. Unfortunately they never did confess and express their feelings to each other. Thus Iwase Ken end up looking at the person he loves married to another person. Iwase Ken feel regret during the wedding. If he would have take things more seriously and act more aggressively then he might be the person standing next to Yoshida Rei. As he prays that he could go back in time to fix it, a fairy appears and granted his wishes. There fore Iwase Ken started his journey of making Yoshida Rei as his bride.

Feelings and Comments:

You might not like the character of Iwase Ken but that’s the main point of this drama. If you love someone, you need to say it out loud so that he/she can hear it. Don’t ever let go any chances you have. Any reasons that you have for not doing so is just excuse that you’ll regret. There is no second chance or redo, there is only now. This drama really cooks up the relationship and feelings between Iwase Ken and Yoshida Rei. Man who is insensitive and rarely say the words “Love you”. Woman who is hoping man understands and afraid of rejection. These feelings are being brought out nicely in this drama.

Things that caught my eyes:

The theme songs and the music push the emotion of the drama up another level. Nagasawa Masami expresses and brought up the feeling of a young girl who is in love nicely. Wedding ceremony is always nice to watch.

Japan Drama Rating:

Worth watching it. A beautiful love story told in a fairy tale style.

Part of the reason that Mizusawa Keigo takes this job is because he has a crush on Odagiri Kyoko. The best part is that Mizusawa Keigo stays in Tokyo Ocean Hotel for the job and romance.

Feeling and comments:

The main focus of this drama is Ueto Aya 上戸彩. The story lack of depth seems like everything just glance through very fast. This drama does have the shadow of “Pretty Woman” but did not set up well. Of cause it's also a remake of the famous Korean Drama - Hotelier. Even so it does have a few tricks and surprise in it. The Korean actor (Bae Yong Jun) and some Korean conversation does impress a bit.

Things that caught my eyes:

The conversation between Odagiri Kyoko (Ueto Aya) 上戸彩 and the Korean Actor - Bae Yong Jun in Korean languages leaves a big impression. The theme song that sings by (Ueto Aya) 上戸彩 is not bad at all.

Japan Drama Rating:

Fan of (Ueto Aya) 上戸彩 is a must watch. If not then skip it.

Feelings & Comments:
The feelings of happy and sad are mix together. A very touching and unfamiliar story that all of us know because we too have our own version of "Mother and son/daughter ". A lot of us have almost the same experience. Mom take care of boy when young, then boy leave home to study, after that find a job in a city far away from home. Then one day we realize that our parents have grown old, then we realize all the work that they done for us. It's never too late to realize it but we always regret that we did not realize it earlier. This is the most difficult debt to payback as it is unable to value by money. Another special item is the detail composed music along the whole drama that brings out the emotion within. This drama surely intended to make you cry.

Tokyo tower sure is very attractive place. The music and songs never stop through out the whole drama. The mother Nakayama Chochi (Baisho Mitsuko 倍賞美津子) was very good in the Drama.

It is more like the ugly duck which become a beautiful swan at the end.

Seito Shokun! 生徒諸君! - Release April 07

Kumo Japan Drama Sneak!!

Japan Drama Story:
Another story about how a teacher help and touches the heart of the students. Just like the Drama GTO and Gokusen, the teacher helps student with problems and earn their trust and love. One thing different from the other drama is that it is more realistic and close to the actual case that is happen in life. This drama also base on a popular comic.

Feelings & Comments:
Ending Theme song is "My Generation" by a young talented singer YUI. She did a good job in writing this song. This drama is covered in a sad mood from the beginning but still have a happy ending. I think that's because it is close to the reality and most of the time life is like that. We can see how the teacher trying hard to find happiness and trying to cheer up the students. Well, I think that the teacher - Uchiyama Rina 内山理名 act is little bit too aggressive. She looks like a super teacher mentally because no matter how bad the students and others treated her, she still able to put up her smiling face. This drama mainly focus on how the students recover from problems and incident. What ever done is done and the only thing that we can do is get back on our feet and move on.

Things that caught my eyes:
Ending theme song sound better each time I listen to it. Another character that caught my eyes is Horikita Maki 堀北真希. She is indeed cute and a young fast rising star in Japan.

Japan Drama Rating:
Nice to watch. Even if most of the time it is covered with sad atmosphere but still able to make me finish the drama in 2 days. At least the theme song is good and it's a happy ending.

Feelings & Comments:
It seems to be a romance story of elder woman - Noda Naoko (Shinohara Ryoko 篠原涼子)with a man - Kurozawa Akihiko (Akanishi Jin 赤西仁)that is younger then her but actually not. The drama focus mainly on the life style and feelings of Noda Naoko. (Shinohara Ryoko 篠原涼子) Being a successful business woman now days might looks cool but still it doesn't quite complete without marriage. In fact trying to survive in the business world of today is tougher for a woman. In reality woman are always the one that sacrifice most and this drama shows it all.

A very special story but yet fits a lot of scenario. We are mostly common with beauty and the beast but this version is more like beauty and the donkey. It gives hope to men out there that you don't have to be rich or good looking to have a beautiful wife. The things that win the hearts of the girls are...you might surprise she loves you.
