[Drama] Yamato Nadeshiko
Autumn 2000
Episodes: 11
Starring: Matsushima Nanako, Tsutsumi Shinichi, Azuma Mikihisa, Yada Akiko...
Jinno Sakurako hates being poor. She hates poverty with all her heart. Being unable to bear another day of living in poverty, she left her hometown of Fukuyama for Tokyo with her father's bank book on the day of her highschool graduation.
She sought for opportunities to change her life of poverty in Tokyo as she used her father's money for a makeover. Armed with only her beauty, she looked around for ways to meet rich people. That was when she saw a commercial airplane flying pass, thus she decided that rich people travel a whole lot and that being a stewardess will boost her chances of marrying into money.
As a stewardess, Sakurako was able to come into contact with many rich men and went with them on group dates with other stewardesses. She played the ground despite convincing her many boyfriends that they were exclusive as she sought for the richest man she can meet. More importantly, she sought for men with a horseowner's pin - a symbol of ultimate riches.
When she found a man named Nakahara Osuke wearing that very pin, she seduced him with all her power while her previously most prospective suitor, Tsukasa, proposed to her. She thought she found the rich man of her dreams in Osuke, but to her disappointment, Osuke was a humble fish-shop owner. Sakurako went back to Tsukasa but found Osuke a frequent passerby in her life. Will Sakurako fall for Osuke or will her love for money triumph over her feelings for him?

This is one of my favourite dramas! I love it! I actually watched it a while back, but I was busy. So this is up now. Matsushima Nanako was like, the biggest thing back in her time. She was like... like... BIG, in more ways than one, of course. And as I was watching this show, it hit me... Sawajiri Erika looks so much like her. So much. A creepier, bitchier version, of course.
This drama is laced with certain comedic moments where Sakurako would lecture her fellow stewardesses with her philosophy on men, marriage and money. And she would come up with arguments that will beat the crap out of love idealists. I totally support her view. I wished that the ending will not be a cliched one, to my disappointment, of course.
This drama had high viewer ratings after a couple of years of ratings drought in getsuku dramas and the theme song was the initial drive for me to watch it. It is a great song, Misia's "Everything". I have almost no complains about the drama, except how Yada Akiko's character was annoying with all her morals and crap and the leading man is... so... average. I know, the character is supposed to be average, BUT, you see... it wouldn't hurt to have a bit of prettiness in here that is NOT female would it?

[Drama] Boku no Ikiru Michi
Winter 2003
Episodes: 11
Starring: Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, Yada Akiko, Tanihara Shosuke, Kohinata Fumiyo, Uchi Hiroki, Ayase Haruka...
A high school teacher by the name of Nakamura Hideo had led a normal life. He taught, and no one listened. He is timidly polite and never spoke his mind. Neither did he have any strong opinion about things and never took the initiative to take charge of the direction of his life. He harboured feelings for his colleague, Akimoto Midori, but was indirectly rejected before Hideo even confessed.
One day, Hideo was told by his doctor that he only had one year to live because of a disease. After a short period of despair and a suicide attempt, Hideo realized that he STILL has one year to live. Since then, his life changed, he became more opinionated at work. He became more daring and won the love of his life.
But can their love survive the knowledge of his foreboding fate? Can Midori support and fulfill the needs of a dying Hideo? (So totally added the questions at the end of the synopsis. Love em, questions.)

This drama has a really, really famous theme song. It was the best selling single of the year and sold more than 2 million copies. A success SMAP hasn't had for a while back then. "Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana" is the title. The reason I suddenly decided to watch this is because I so totally sang this song yesterday, at a karaoke. Thank goodness I pulled it off well. xD It is a good song, written by the great Makihara Noriyuki. It has nice lyrics too. T_T
Why do they always die pretty? I mean, if I have a mild fever, I look like a hag. Seriously! xD Okay, nevermind that. Love the drama.
So touching. Sometimes, we need something significant to happen to us in order to drive us to buckle up and make a difference in our lives, change our lives, to take the initiative to make it better. Had this character, Nakamura went on to live without being diagnosed with the sickness, he would have had a pathetic life ahead of him. A long and pathetic one.
But its still sad nevertheless. T_T And a tough choice, really. A short and exciting life that is full of happiness. Or a long and lonely one, living without ambition or goals. Live fast and die young, or take things slow and die wrinkled.
Not sure there. People get disillusioned, by thinking there's always tomorrow, we'd procrastinate. That is a fact. No matter how many times I am inspired by stories such as this, I just... go on living my life like I have all the time in the world. Thoughts of death are not what I want frequenting my mind because they make me restless and frightened.
Kusanagi Tsuyoshi has a funny face. Its the jaw, I think its the jaw. Its oddly shaped. But he has this kind face that makes you think he wouldn't hurt an amoeba if he can help it. I find it odd how Midori still calls Hideo "Nakamura-sensei" after marriage. Its odd. Imagine your boyfriend (am so writing this under an assumption that a dude wouldn't visit a blog packed with talks about Johnny's boysies) calls you Miss [Insert your last name/family name/surname here]. I'd so dump him already.
And I really don't like to watch bawling men. I get it that this character is facing death and I would so bawl like a baby. But Kusanagi Tsuyoshi bawls too well and I am so convinced and I don't know. It makes me uncomfortable. Midori is a strong woman. And preparing for your husband's death, planning his death and the stuff you have to do upon his death with him is not easy. T_T I'd probably run without looking back if I were her.
For Hideo, this sickness that he had was probably the best thing that happened to him. I really think so. His life was much improved, and so did that of those around him. But death is never a good thing. Erm, contradictory. Nevermind. I find it especially touching how Yoshida, played by a pre-suspension Uchi Hiroki, who was Hideo's student went on to become what Hideo used to be, passing on advice that Hideo used to give.
