#boku to shippo to kagurazaka

                        My “janiizu” watchlist of 2019

1. Boku to shippo to Kagurazaka - This was actually the only drama I saw with Arashi member during this year :/ But I am really glad I started the new year with this cute and fluffy drama. It is a warm story about the life of a sweet and caring vet. This role was a perfect match for sunshine Masaki Aiba. Definitely must-see if you are an animal lover like me. Aiba-chan and all the “shippos” melted my heart. I could “live” my childhood dream of being a vet thanks to this drama.

2. Laplace’s witch - probably the biggest disappointment? It is the trailer’s fault I had high hopes. Were it not for Sho ( who did not have enough screening time btw ) and my good friend who watched with me, I won't finish it. Everything seemed rushed, not explained properly. I could not grasp all that supernatural features in rushed revenge themed plot. And Suzu’s acting was so annoying, she ruined the mysterious aura of her character because of her poor and pathetic acting. Sho was really smexy in it but simply used as an eso to sell the movie... that’s it. 

3. One Million Stars Falling from the Sky -  pretty old drama from 2002 watched because I really loved the Korean remake and wanted to see the original version. It is a tragic story of two people who are suddenly connected with their forgotten past just to realise they never can be together. To be honest, I loved the Korean version more, because of better described and developed relationships and more thrilling and tragic features in the plot. Some characters were lame in Japanese version, to be honest. Also, Koreans put a better emphasis on “mind game” and plot twists. But Japanese one with Kimura was as heartbreaking as Korean one with Seo In Guk. 

4. Papadoru - Watched because Ryo is my fav from Kanjani and it is supposed to be legendary drama. But it ended up being a bit disappointing because of the boring plot and because chemistry among the lead couple was almost non-existent. Still, I enjoyed the relationship between children and Ryo. And little girl fangirling over Sho was my fav character  :D To be honest, this is really fitted drama mainly for hardcore Ryo’s fans and other people might be disappointed in it just like me.

5. Assassination classroom - Live-action remake of famous anime. Did not expect to enjoy it. I saw both movies, and both very pretty cool and entertaining. Nino did a great job with his voice acting and whole acting casting was great too. Masaki Suda and Yamada were outstanding in their roles. I really like the nice and inspiring message of both movies.

6. Killing for the prosecution - Idk if I am that stupid but I was so confused during this movie. The story followed too fast and I could not grasp it to fully understand what is happening. The characters were not introduced well I would say...But Nino’s and Kimura’s acting was really nailed. Maybe if I could read the book it would be easier to make connections. If you enjoy thrillers with juridical features give this movie try. 

7. Aka medaka - A beautiful retro biographic movie from the world of rakugo’s actors. I really enjoyed this movie because I learned something new about Japanese culture. The acting cast did an awesome job and portrayed their characters believable. Nino shined in his role of rookie rakugo actor and I was hooked to follow his life story to see how he mastered his dream job.

8. Eien no Nispa- Another biographical movie, but this time with Jun as the main character. It was a really beautiful and touching story about Hokkaido’s first inhabitants-Ainu people and the brave explorer Takeshiro Matsuura who mapped this beautiful Japanese island and fought for Ainu people’s rights. Again I learned a lot about Japanese history and geography. Jun portraying this difficult role was splendid, really hats off to him. 

9. Yuuzai- Ikuta simply never disappoints me. Another heavy-  psychological mystery thriller with him...hmm still did not sort my thoughts about it. For sure this movie is not to be seen just once to understand everything. There were just too many characters, their stories overlapped and too much was happening at the same time. The story was interesting and will make you hooked and wonder until the end. The acting was splendid, as expected of great actors Eita and Toma. Also supporting acting cast was awesome too. Such a pity I could not see it during the film festival in  Karlovy Vary. 

10. Ore no hanashi wa nagai- For me the most anticipated drama of the year. I usually don't watch ongoing dramas, but of course, Toma is the exception. At first, I was sceptical when I get to know it will be a family drama genre, worrying it will be boring, but it turned to be more fun than I expected. The whole “family” was really nice and funny. It seemed like you watch the real household like you are part of the family and together want to help find Mitsuru’s motivation to work. Toma put his whole being into his sassy and “i-know-it-all” character and sometimes he was so annoying yet clever want to kick his ass. But then he is so charming and realistic, one simply could not stop rooting for him and laugh at his jokes. This drama was a great relax for me after tiring week at uni. It made my winter friday evenings entertaining. 

What do you think? Did you see some of this dramas/ movies? Do you like Johnny’s? What did you watch with them this year? I like to discuss about dramas and actors/actresses so if you want talk about my article, dont hesitate to let me know your thoughts.

Aiba “black history”

Aiba star in the ongoing tv asahi drama "Boku to Shippo to Kagurazaka". The first episode aired on 12th October had an audience rating of 6.6% and the second episode an 5.4%, its result in 1.3% down. The others doramas in the same frame had a 10% of audience rating like "Dai Renai" of Erika Toda.   The dorama is based on the manga of Tarazawa Machi published since 2012 up to 2017. It's have good reputation between shoujo readers. The last dorama Aiba starred, "Kizoku Tantei" have an audience rating of 8.6% as average. Johnny's talents doesn't have any problems in star a golden frame dorama. The last dorama starred by Tokio Matsuoka had an average rating of 7.2%. And every summer dorama had a average of 10% and below. Is expected that a new dorama starred by a normal actor don't have higher ratings compared with an idol dorama. "The golden era of dorama have passed" specialist says about the low ratings even in night dorama. The worries begin after the second episode because it's lowest than the first one. Fans say is because the "black history" of Kizoku Tantei. Is expected Aiba as high star will have more than 10% in audience rating. The failure of the previous dorama overshadow Aiba’ acting skills. Producer expect to empathize with the public through the warm of Tatsuya character and Aiba smile.
