Could you recommend some good J-Drama?

[Sugargirl_]

I have seen three of them: "Nana", "Moon child" and "Kagen no Tsuki"(Last quarter). And I liked all of them, so now i looking forward to other movies. :hey:
I`m really exciting in your opinion! :blush: :-)

[elanor]

1 Litre of Tears.

It's 11 episodes long and based on a true story. You can watch the whole series on Youtube.

They aren't J-dramas. All 3 are movies are they not? :?

[yukio_michael]

Kimi wa Petto (http://wiki.theppn.org/Kimi_wa_Petto)

Gokusen (http://wiki.theppn.org/Gokusen)

Yamato Nadeshiko (http://www.spcnet.tv/japan_yamato.shtml)

Densha Otoko (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Densha_otoko)

...all of those I think are pretty good.

ed: This thread should probably be moved out of Jpop too...

[sunsweet]

Are you referring to J-music related dramas or just Japanese dramas/movies in general?

I'm just asking because the things you listed so far are all J-music, well Hyde really, related.

Yes, I mixed up.. I mean some movies like that i have seen, could you recommend.

However, now I`m watching j-drama 1 litre of tears... :-)

Well... Moon Child I was watching only because of Gackt, but i really liked it, and there I noticed HYDE :cool: .... I have found out about j-rock only for one month. :blush: That`s why I wanted to see movies with J-music artists/bands.

But now there`s no sense in that so much, so I would like to see J-movies in general :blush: :-)

[Nana007]

Unless its a movie you won't have that many JRockers in it. And you can say that it can slightly be in the JPOP forum considering that a good portion of Johnny's members act in JDramas. Others to try besides those that Yukio Micheal mentioned is:

GTO-Great Teacher Onizuka which is very simular to Gokusen except that its a male teacher.
Hana Yori Dango is a really cute Shoujo Drama
Nobuta no Produce

Also if you want to try Tawainese Dramas
Mars
Meteor Garden which is nothing but the Taiwanese version of Hana Yori Dango.
Peach Girl

[Thirteen]

this isn't much of that drama..but try Oresama, w/ miyavi...who wouldn't love that? lol

[elanor]

Oresama's pure fanservice though. No offence (cuz I enjoyed it myself) but most of the actors sucked horribly, the plot was weak, the whole thing was extremely low budget.

Miyavi does get to flash his muscles and do a mini live thing though. That's what matters right? =P

@Sugargirl: how're you finding 1 Litre of Tears? I was crying by episode 3... my friend cried after about 15mins into the series though.

[Yokan]

Thanks a lot :cool: But have you seen any of them? That you could recommed...
LoL, I`m not so crazy to watch them all :bluush:

[Da Monstar]

1 Litre of Tears is especially worth watching. I have seen it twice now (got it on DVD :-) )

Ai no Uta is also worth a watch.

Currently I am watching Gal Circle, 4th episode is available now on d-addicts.com. Its more of a fun Dorama featuring Mari Yaguchi with a small role :cool:

[yukio_michael]

I love Mari Yaguchi... though mostly on her program Yaguchi/Hitori, not as a singer... going to check this out.

ed: wow, those raw's on d-addicts are huge... is that in megs?

[Precious4e]

Hey I just finished Nobuta wo Produce and 1 Litre of tears.. both were really really good. Does anyone else know of any dramas (comedy preferred but I also love sad stories) that aren't too long? The 11 or 10 episode thing is awesome because I get addicted to dramas easily and stay up all night to finish them.

[Sadakogfx]

Seven Samurai...any Kurosawa films.

[Lunabenz]

Seven Samurai was awesome. Grave of the Fireflies, Onmyoji, Postman Blues, and The Great Yokai War are all worth watching.

[Sadakogfx]

Versus
Alive
Gamera 3: Incomplete Struggle (AKA Gamera 3: Revenge Of iris)
Gojira (1954)
Gorath

[leonmarino]

I havn't watched a lot of J-drama's yet, but it is becoming a hobby of mine, I really love it!!

Anyways, One Litre of Tears if pretty good indeed. I love the two theme songs by Remioromen!!

Has anyone mentioned Desha Otoko yet? I really loved that one.. I just finished watching Hana yori Dango, and I'm gonna start watching Itoshi Kimi E.. Just because it is situated in Nagasaki, I love that city for several reasons.. I hope it's good though!! （笑）

[Dutch Baka]

Densha Otoko is really funny! sometimes bit too emotional... emotional..

Pride.. A cool icehockey drama

Ikebukuro West Gate Park.. My all time favourite but nobody knows this one...

indeed like Leonmarino says; Hana Yori Dango was very good, to bad that it only had 9 episode's because it was too good!

Gokusen was interesting to see!

Yoshitsune supose to be great..

Lunch queen... only the food makes your drool in it :p

I got more, but I don't have time now!!! bye bye

[RockLee]

I should slap you for not mentioning Byaku Yakou Dutch ! :eek:

[Dutch Baka]

I should slap you for not mentioning Byaku Yakou Dutch ! :eek:

haha I have only watched the first 20 minutes of Byaku Yakou last night! I might recommend this one later on ;)

[leonmarino]

Oh!! I forgot to mention Bengoshi no Kuzu!! Tis hilarious!! Which reminds me.. Gotta get the newest episode!! （笑）

[leonmarino]

And I forgot another classic: 「世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ」 the English title might be like: "In the centre of the world, I cry out your love". I really really like this one.. Tis pretty heavy.. I made me cry a few times. （笑）

[Mikawa Ossan]

I used to really like 星の金貨, 男はつらいよ, 美味しい関係, etc.

[Dutch Baka]

Could you write it in romanji also, because not a lot of people can read kana.

[primelajule]

Has anyone watched "Manzai" is a japanese comedy, my friend told me about it but am not sure if should watch it, can anyone tell me aboout it????

:-) Primela-chan:-)

[pygar]

I've enjoyed the recent KINDAICHI and YOUNG KINDAICHI episodes that I've seen.

I've also only just discovered SUKEBAN DEKA (from the 1980's) which is very funny, though I think it's supposed to be serious.

[otaku623]

WOW! I have something to do now!
Thank you for all of the suggestions!
I've only watched part of a few J-Dramas...
but I liked them...
I think I'll stick to them more if I find some that are really interesting!

[Seon-a Kim]

I would recommend Long Vocation, it's great, I adore Hayama Minami (http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/4784/image2al3.jpg) in this show ^_^

[SephysManda]

I would highly reccomend Hana Yori Dango. Its so good!

[Kirie_Maiden]

Can you get these J-Dramas on dvd with subtitles??? Probably an obvious question, but I need to make sure.

[Karamuucho]

A long long time ago there was a Drama called Bokura no Yuuki (僕らの勇気) that has stayed in my mind even since I watched it. I liked it, but I don't know how anyone will get their hands on it outside of Japan, lol.

[Kirie_Maiden]

Possibly Ebay? Gotta love that site. You can buy anything there.

[shou]

my boss my hero is so funny must see >__<

[*~EnvY~*]

i'd recommend Engine for emotional stuff and water boys for a good laugh
i've just started princess princess d which is the adaptation from the manga and anime looks lquite funny ^^
and i just discovered a film that's called Boys love and that's really good its on youtube there arent any subs yet tho
