CHANGE – Release May 08

Kumo Japan Drama sneak!!

Japan Drama Story:
Asakura Keita (Kimura Takuya) 木村拓哉 is an elementary school teacher who stays at country side and enjoy checking out the stars. Despite that he is from a politician family, he has no interest in politics. Even so, he is still unable to escape the faith of becoming a politician. With the help of Miyama Rika (Fukatsu Eri) 深津絵里 and an election strategist - Nirasawa Katsutoshi (Abe Hiroshi) 阿部寛, he started his journey as a politician by competing in the local election. From that day onwards he started to realize that he was born to be a politician.

Feelings and comments:
Politics are usually complicated, ugly and fill with secrets. Normal citizens mostly don’t have a clue what politics about. Most of us give out our vote base on what is said by the politician. Honestly, how many of us really know the guy that we voted? How do we know what they have done and what they can accomplish for us? Well, all we can do is choose the best we can and hope for the best. It is true that a lot of the politicians are not as good as they said they are. A lot of them are just hunger for money, power and fame. Still there are some that actually want to serve the people and make a better world to live in. As a citizen, we have the vote to decide the leader of the country. We just need to choose wisely and carefully.

Things that caught my eyes:
The office, wad room and the house specially prepared for prime minister really is top of the class.

Japan Drama Rating:
Worth watching it. Having 3 famous actors like Kimura Takuya (木村拓哉), Terao Akira (寺尾聰) and Abe Hiroshi (阿部寛) in one drama is worth your time to watch it.

Japan Drama Story:
A company invented a robot to act as a perfect boy friend. Before going for mass production, the company decided to test out their product. That is where Izawa Riiko(Aibu Saki) 相武紗季 comes in. Without knowing the details about the company and product, Izawa Riiko(Aibu Saki) 相武紗季 accepted the robot boy friend - Tenjo Night(Hayami Mokomichi ) 速水もこみto stay and live with her. Tenjo Night is specially program base on Izawa Riiko’s ideal boy friend. The goal or mission of Tenjo Night is to get Izawa Riiko falls in love with him. Even so, no matter how perfect Tenjo Night is as a boy friend, it is still impossible to fall in love with a robot.
Feelings and comments:
I think stories with robot lovers can be found in lots of countries and languages. The idea of the story might not be new but still attracts a lot of viewers. It must have been the ideal lover that attracts people. Everybody wanted a perfect partner and a happy perfect life. The truth is there is no such thing as perfect. Well, that’s in the real world but not in a fictional world. It is possible to have everything perfect in a fictional world. That is why these stories always get people’s attention. We know that we can’t have it but at least we can fantasize it for a period of time.
Things that caught my eyes:
Those delicious desserts definitely the best part in this drama. Being able to work and having desserts are most certainly a way to enjoy.
Rating:
Fun to watch. Even if the idea of a robot lover is not new, it’s still fun and interesting to watch.
