Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu

GOOD NEWS to Gakky's fellow fans!! She starred in this new Japanese drama called "Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu" (逃げるは恥だが役に立つ).

Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu

Somehow it feels like more and more manga turned into live actions movie or drama. To some extent I'm happy coz it feels like it'd be a bridge between a manga reader and non manga reader. It helps to bring a message that manga can be enjoyed by any age. Of course I'm happy for the mangaka/writer as well. Means that their work got noticed, have a chance to spread their hardwork to wider viewer and of course...royalties? That way they can continue to do more and more awesome works! Win win solution~ *throws confetti

So what's good about this drama? Hmm...If you enjoy light comedy, marriage contract themed storyline then give this a go. Above all...if you like Aragaki Yui like I do...then PLEASE WATCH THIS DRAMA! Hahahaha...that's more than enough reason ok!

Personally I find this drama to be pretty interesting despite the overly used "marriage contract" concept. How to say this ah...hmm...apart from the well chosen casts, the storyline itself also kinda fresh. It's not the usual RICH MAN x POOR WOMAN marriage contract.

This story is about a woman called Moriyama Mikuri (25) who isn't able to land on a job despite having a graduate degree in Psychology. The story starts when Mikuri's father asked her to work as a housekeeper for his client called Tsuzaki Hiramasa (36). Everything was smooth till Mikuri's parents decided to move to another area to live. She thought of an idea of something like marriage contract where she would get married to Tsuzaki, handles all the housekeeping job around the house and earns salary from it. That way she could continue doing the job, earn salary and able to stay at the current city she's living at. Luckily Tsuzaki was able to accept the idea and that's how the story starts...Hahaha. Geezz...I think I'm pretty bad at explaining. But I believe you guys get the rough image of what this drama is all about. Bubbly female character + Nerd guy = Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu!

At first glance, the main male lead might look pretty plain. But all hail to glasses! It makes every character all the more interesting! HAHAHAHA...what do you think? Glasses YES? NAY? *Please excuse this female who love glasses...trololololol* Not to forget his manly voice...so soothing to the ear!

Oh one more thing as we talk about voice!! As I was reading through Asianwiki, I found out that the main male lead...Hoshino Gen (星野 源) was the voice of Buddha in Saint Oniisan (聖☆おにいさん). Fyi, it was one of my favourite anime/manga. Small world I thought...I didn't see that coming!

Makes me more eager to watch this drama even more...LOLOLOL! Must support le beloved Aragaki Yui (新垣結衣) as well as the voice of Buddha, Hoshino Gen (星野 源).

If this wasn't enough, I must add that the ending song was GOOD too! So catchy, happy and niceeeeeeeeeee! And guess what? It was Hoshino Gen (星野 源) who sang them! Out of a sudden I'm visualizing that Buddha chara from the anime dancing to that song. Trololololol~~~

Here's the MV if you're interested to give this song a try...

That's all for today's share...Hope you'll enjoy them! HAPPY WEEKEND! :)

[J-DRAMA] FRAGILE

When I first saw Tomoya Nagase name on the main lead section, I wanted to watch it right away!! Been his fans ever since I watched "My Boss My Hero" (Highly recommended if you enjoy watching comedy drama). Not to forget there's Emi Takei as the female lead. I think most of you already know her if you've watched Samurai X Live Action. She's the main female lead there.

Tomoya Nagase as Keiichiro Kishi

Emi Takei as Chihiro Miyazaki

I just realized that this drama is adapted from a manga too! Found out about it from ASIANWIKI. So perhaps if you wanted to know more about this drama you can try reading its manga~

フラジャイル～病理医岸京一郎の所見～

Fragile - Byourii Kishi Keiichirou no Shoken

Fragile - The View of Keiichirou Kishi, a Pathologist

This drama right here is about a man called Keiichiro Kishi (Tomoya Nagase) who is an excellent Pathologist and a Neurologist Chihiro Miyazaki (Emi Takei) who later on decided to transfer to Pathology Department. The storyline resolves around these two solving different cases and making diagnosis. 

Personally I feel that Tomoya Nagase looked really cool in this drama! Just imagine of having so much probabilities and yet, he alone managed to make accurate diagnosis even without meeting the patients. Merely by examining tissues on a microscope you see! I think that it is awesome! Thinking of the great amount of pressure he must have felt as it has to do with life and death...I just can't imagine being in his shoe...HAHA...That person must be someone who possessed a great amount of wisdom, great observation skills as well as enormous amount self confident!

Yes...Yes...Yes...A Pathologist is a physician who observes all these tissues, check on the accuracy of lab tests and interprets the results in order to facilitate the patient's diagnosis and treatment.

On a contrary, while a Pathologist are able to tell sickness from looking at the cells above, I can only spot a few "face" on the last picture...LOLOLOL!! //slapped

There's Koyuki too in this drama! If you're a fans of her you should watch this~ Long time didn't see her in any drama that I've watched. She still look stunning as usual.

Overall I like the filming style and the colours used. It adds to the overall mood of a medical drama. Hehehe...Interesting casts too! Definitely worth to watch. A plus if you enjoy medical drama! Though you must be patience as this drama is pretty new. So only an episode will be released per week.

As I cannot find the trailer on Youtube, so I'm just gonna share any video related to this drama...*coughs*

Update (26 JAN 2016):

Unfortunately the video that I shared here also gone within a few days of posting it here...So yeah...please search for them on Youtube, I gave up...HAHAHA...Somehow videos with Johnny's Entertainment boys are hard to find...keep missing on Youtube one! D:
