Gonzoゴンゾウ – Release July 08

Kumo Japan Drama sneak!!

Japan Drama Story:
Kuroki Toshihide (Uchino Masaaki) 内野聖陽 is the chief of equipment department in the police station. Due to an incident 3 years back he was transferred to the equipment department. Ever since then he spend most of his time doing things other than police job. One day a murder case that involves a stuff – Endo Tsuru (Motokariya Yuika ) 本仮屋ユイカin the police station happens. The case was highly concern by the public and police department as it involves attempted murder of a police woman. An investigation team was then assembled to take on this murder case. That is the time when Kuroki Toshihide (Uchino Masaaki) 内野聖陽 involvement is requested as he was used to be the top investigator, a legendary police investigator that used to lead the police investigation team.

Feelings and comments:
There are 2 things in this drama that make me finish watching it one shot. First is the scrip that is well written as you won’t find much bored moment in the drama. Second is the brilliant acting of Kuroki Toshihide (Uchino Masaaki) 内野聖陽. The drama is able to lead audiences from one incident to another incident which eventually related to the murder case.
I’ll say this is one of the best detective Japan dramas that I ever seen. It’s actually not the murder case that I’m anxious to know who the killer is but the story behind each of the character that is attractive.

Things that caught my eyes:
The police department equipment section seems to be a nice place to sleep, play, work and a hideout.

Japan Drama Rating:
Worth watching. The Story line of this drama is well written and each episode links up just nice. Once you started watching it, you can’t stop till you finish it.

Purchase:
TV series, Original Soundtrack

Drama Theme Song: Who by Misako Odani 小谷美紗子

Gakko ja Oshierarenai! 学校じゃ教えられない!– Release July 08

Kumo Japan Drama sneak!!

Japan Drama Story:
A girl school started to accept male students as a change to keep up with the competition. The initial group of male students consists of 5 people only. In order to help these 5 male students get use to the special environment, Aida Mai (Fukada Kyoko) 深田恭子 invited them into social dance club together with 5 other female students. Being in a school that surrounding by thousands of female students really is exciting for these boys, but apparently things are not what they expected.

Feelings and comments:
The title of this drama says it all. It’s all about the things that school doesn’t teach. Things like love, opposite sex and friendship are part of growing up in school. You won’t learn it from the text books but you’ll eventually know them for sure from friends, teacher and parents.
Imagine if you really admit into a girl school, what kind of school life will it be? I’m sure lots of things will happen.

Things that caught my eyes:
A girl school with only 5 male students really is interesting, absolutely an unbalance situation where these 5 boys might get eaten alive.

Japan Drama Rating:
Interesting to watch. Mostly about stuff that teenagers faces when growing up, especially about love and sex.

Purchase:
