Each combination under johnnys firm has distinctive characteristics in different fields Enjoying high popularity, this is due to the unique system. Together, the members of the group are a group with the same goal. Separately, they each have their own stage to shine. Some are good at music, some prefer film and television, and some like the stage. , some enter the hosting world, smap is like this, and Lan is certainly no exception.

Director: Yuichiro Hirakawa

Producers: Akihiko Ishimaru, Masaaki Tsudome

Actors: Takao Osawa, Miki Nakatani, Haruka Ayase, Keisuke Koide, etc.

There are dozens of Japanese dramas produced and broadcast every season. To be honest, even a drama-watching fanatic like me can’t watch them all. How can I judge the choice? In addition to making judgments about whether to follow the show or not after reviewing the first episode, I am afraid that before each drama is broadcast, there is an inner judgment based on the likes and dislikes of the cast. The autumn release of "Jin Ren" is a new drama that no matter how ugly the first episode is, I will follow it to the end. There must be a small number of people like me who just watch episode after episode for no other reason. I like Miki Nakatani. Miki Nakatani is not glamorous, but every time she performs, she makes her mark on the character. Ten years ago, the movie "Continue" made countless people fall in love with her. This time, she will be the only one in the new drama. Playing two roles, there should be no doubt about her acting skills. After all, she has become indispensable under her performance in "Chords of Love", "Carry On", "Forever Boy", "Manatsu's Christmas", "Love Deviation", etc. Watch the classic series. The new drama is adapted from the manga of the same name by Murakami Norika. It is a time-travel theme that is very familiar to readers of domestic online novels. In short, the plot is that the doctor Minami Jin, played by Osawa Takao, accidentally returns to the shogunate era to continue. The story of healing and saving lives. There is no need to worry about the quality of the script. Yoshiko Morishita is the screenwriter and is good at adapting. Heavyweight works such as "Call for Love at the Center of the World", "Island of Glass" and "White Night Journey" are all adapted into TV series by her. Haruka Ayase and Keisuke Koide, who are quite popular among young people, also participated in the play.

Drama name: Real Clothes

Producers: Takaaki Hirabe, Takumi Sano

Actor : Karina, Hitomi Kuroki, Takaoka Sogo, Kato Natsuki, etc.

Although it is also a place where people come and go and there are many stories, department stores are not as often shown on the screen as hospitals, except for " Apart from "Tokyo Elevator Lady", "Department Store Summer Story", and "Yama no Wall Girl", I can't think of any other Japanese dramas with department stores as the main story background. Maybe it's because in a department store where money is exchanged, people come and go in a hurry, and it's hard to see deep affection for each other. The new season of the Japanese drama "Real Clothes" co-starred by two actresses, Karina and Hitomi Kuroki, takes the main stage in a department store. The drama adapted from the manga tells the story of a shopping mall who wears simple clothes and knows nothing about fashion trends. Salesperson Kinue Amano transforms from an ugly duckling into a white swan after being transformed by fashion master Mihime Jimbo. The play was aired as an SP in September 2008. The combination of Karina and Hitomi Kuroki has locked an audience of nearly 13, so it is logical to produce and launch a series version. In recent years, Karina, who was born as a model, has not only shown her extraordinary talent in wedding dress design, but also achieved good results in the field of TV series. There are important scenes in "Long Police Station". Hitomi Kuroki, another main actor in the play, is a Japanese actress that everyone is familiar with. Her ageless appearance and elegant temperament make her the object of admiration for mature men and the target of mature women. She is the beautiful goddess with outstanding taste and resolute spirit. The role must be perfect. In addition, the first performance of the three sisters, Karina and Nose Anna, the second sister Eirina, is undoubtedly a highlight of the play.

Drama title: Single Aristocratic

Screenwriter: Masaya Ozaki

Directors: Nao Ueda, Han Zhe

Producers: Koichi Toda, Tatsuya Ito, Atsushi Masaki

Actors: Arisa Kanzuki, Teppei Koike, Nao Matsushita, Ami Suzuki, Wakana Sakai, etc.

Time flies, and the beautiful girls of 3M back then have now become spokespersons for married women. There is no need to lament the laws of the world. Arissa Kanzuki plays a wife with both physical and spiritual qualities in "The Diary of a Ghost Marriage" and "Mrs. Saito", and is highly praised by housewives. Perhaps because of her body and appearance, the characters Kanzuki Alyssa is chosen to play are often women with fierce personalities who dare to speak and act, even if the character's identity is no longer a wife but an ordinary professional woman, such as in "OL Japan" The same goes for Kanzaki Shimako. ‘Big woman’ has become a label that Alyssa cannot shake off. In the new season of TBS's Japanese drama "Singles", female teacher Satomi Akiyama, played by Arisa Kanzuki, will form a relationship with Shinichi Kamisaka, played by Teppei Koike, who are ten years apart. Such a role design Definitely, it is undoubtedly a continuation of the 'Big Woman' series. Although Arisa Kanzuki and Teppei Koike have collaborated as early as in "Oni Marriage Diary", and although people's concept of love in this era has long been unlimited and sister-brother love is no longer a legend, I heard that the two are going to play When I first fell in love, I still found it a little weird. The character settings are also ten years apart, so the combination of Shinohara Ryoko and Akanishi Jin in "anego" is relatively easier to accept.

Arisa Kanzuki and Teppei Koike, a muscular mature woman and the shota of Babyface, are you as excited as me to see what kind of relationship they can interpret?

"Female Family" and "Gorgeous Family" have been remade by TBS and put on the screen. The former, led by Yonekura Ryoko, received generally mediocre ratings, while the latter, led by Kimura Takuya, was has achieved great success. The reason why there is such a difference is that in addition to the influence of the starring actors and the differences in the production team, the difference in the level of the original works of the two novels cannot be ignored. Anyone who knows a little about Yamazaki Toyoko will know that in the mid-to-late 1960s, Yamazaki Toyoko's novel creation shifted to a critical realism style, and the three novels "The White Tower", "The Gorgeous Clan" and "Barren Land" This heavyweight novel is one of his masterpieces. Fuji TV has remade "Barren Land" into a TV series in the name of Taiwan's 50th anniversary this time.

Screenwriter: Yuichi Fukuda

Directors: Narita Take, Ishii Yusuke

Producer: Shikauchi Ue

Actors: Oguri Shun, Mizushima Hiroshi, Yoshitaka Yuriko, Miura Tomokazu, etc.

Both appearance and acting skills, Shun Oguri can be said to be the leader among Japan's new generation of male stars. In recent years, he has appeared in TV series such as "Boys Over Flowers", "Detective Conan", "Boys Over Flowers" and "Poor Man". "Every one of "Dreams Come True" is remarkable. The various characters in these dramas are vividly played by him and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After years of hard work, Shun Oguri has finally been recognized and rewarded. This fall, he will play the main role in Fuji TV's drama "Tokyo Dogs". In the new drama, Shun Oguri will play the role of Hiro Mizushima, who is also a flower boy. A pair of criminal police partners from different regions with completely different behaviors, personalities, and habits. The two people who were originally not in harmony had to work together to fight a series of criminal cases such as drugs. It can be said to be a Japanese version of "Flower Flowers" Detective". The screenwriter of the play is Yuichi Fukuda, who has created dramas such as "The Gospel of 1 Pound" and "Detective 33 Minutes". Audiences who have watched "Detective 33 Points" should be deeply impressed by Yuichi Fukuda's nonsensical "off-force" script. I thought it was refreshing when I first watched it, but after watching it more, I couldn't help but feel that this kind of spoof was a bit too much. I hope he can give people a different feeling through "Tokyo Dogs".

Drama title: The 17-year-old Samurai

TV station: NTV

First broadcast: October 2009

Screenwriter: Yumiko Inoue

Director: Toya Sato

Actor: Haruma Miura

Although "The 17-Year-Old Samurai" is an original script by Yumiko Inoue, the storyline is better than that of ordinary comics The story is even more exaggerated. It mainly tells about a high school student named Mochizuki Kotaro. He is usually a typical 'herbivorous man' by nature, but when he encounters difficulties, he will transform into a brave and fearless 'samurai' and make bold moves. to solve the problem. Yumiko Inoue's story setting has a clear target audience group, which is the "Kyimei girls" who are gradually forming a trend in Japan. We have Internet buzzwords that keep pace with the times, and Japanese society also has an endless stream of new vocabulary. 'Herbivorous man' and 'herbivore' are one of them. The so-called 'herbivorous man' refers to the kind of person who has a gentle temperament and looks like a woman. Men who are harmless to others lack self-confidence and passion, and tend to have a passive personality. They are unwilling to take on too much responsibility and do not want to be hurt too much. The so-called "calendar girls" are girls who like history. They like to use items embroidered with the family crests of Warring States generals, like to visit historical sites, and like men with classical temperament and dress. Whether Yumiko Inoue's script, which is both ancient and modern, coupled with Haruma Miura, who plays Kotaro Mochizuki in the costume of a warrior in ancient costume, can successfully capture the hearts of the "Koyomi girls" needs to be tested in practice.
