Japanese Drama

One method that I used to learn Japanese back in the good ol days was to watch Japanese dramas. Then at one point all the dramas seem to revolve around the he-likes-her-but-she-likes-his-best-friend (who is actually her long lost brother ( vomiting noise )).
However, the dramas this year have been rather good. Just finished watching Taiyo No Uta staring the ever so cutie pie Erika Sawajiri and am now looking forward to “Sailor Fuku to Kikanjyuu” (セーラー服と機関銃) – translated as “Sailor uniform and machine gun” and Teppan Shoujo Akane (鉄板少女アカネ!!) – translated as Teppan Girl Akane!! #w#1,2, Sailor Fuku to Kikanjyu#w# Sailor Fuku to Kikanjyu is a remake of an old film where main character and school girl Izumi Hoshi becomes the head of a pack of Yakuza. Izumi is played by another cutie pie Masami Nagasawa which makes this a SMW (Simply Must Watch) for me – who can resist a drama with cutie pies running around in a sailor outfit shooting seven shades of bantha pudoo out of bad dudes with a machine gun? The first installment of this series goes on air this Friday at 10PM on TBS. I’m sure you will learn lots of Yakuza type words like “Kono Yarou!” (この野郎!(このやろう!)) or nuance to be roughly translated as “you bastard!”
You can see a wee bit of the drama at YouTube.
Below: The official site has more including this cool wallpaper of cutie pie Masami Nagasawa.

You can catch a glimpse of this drama at http://www.tbs.co.jp/teppangirl/" target="_blank">the official site has a few clips too. You can probably learn many Japanese cooking words such as Yakechatta (焼けちゃった(やけちゃった)) or “Its burnt”…


If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

Teppan Shoujo Akane...
A little bit off for me, though I loved all her drama with Yamapi (Kurosagi and Nobuta wo Produce).

I'm been so in love with japanese drama "jdorama" just like what i feel towards animes. The language is one of the main reason i got into it plus there are so many drama that are manga adaptations. Can't help but to love it!!! XDD
