It's a good drama where I'm not sure if I want to finish it or not...depend on how the story goes. It's really interesting with such an amazing star. Worth checking out. The ending of ep1 was really good.

It's definitely my #1 anticipated drama this season. I've already dropped Nobuta, Big Bro, and Kiken na Aneki from watching them. I guess I can expect myself to cry watching Ai no Uta and 1 Liter of Tears.

If you could post it when you get it gryzze, that'd be greatly appreciated.

As for the Drama itself, this was my most anticipated show coming into the fall season because of Tamaki Koji. His last drama, Konna Koi no Hanashi, was fabulous and I can see why it was voted one of the best dramas of 1997 (as I recall). So I expected this to be just as good and it's impressing me. In fact, I think Ai no Uta and Konna Koi no Hanashi share a lot in common thematically and you can draw comparisons to both of them. It's not going to be the most popular drama this season (that'll be Hana Yori Dango if you ask me) but I do think it'll be the most meaningful.

how can a show about a suicidal girl and a dying man be so... uplifting? it's an amazing feat. lately i've been as depressed as i can ever remember being, but somehow this drama still makes me feel good when i watch it.

this drama is slowly growing on me, basically for one reason, Hiroki Narimiya.. but overall, the drama is quite sweet & touching. those kids are so adorable.

ok, tell me i'm not the only one who cried his eyes out after episode six. this is the best drama of the season Wub

The last few minutes of episode 6 were really touching but I'm starting to wonder whether Ai no Uta is going to be just like one of those other love stories because the developments hereafter seem rather apparent.

Still it is a rather charming, sweet drama though not really the best of its genre.

Yeah, I'm wondering about where the show is going to go now. It really feels like the developments will be obvious however, they could throw a curveball at us. As I pointed out in my previous post, there's a lot of parallels between this show and the last drama Tamaki Koji was in, Konna koi no Hanashi. I'm hoping that this develops like Konna Koi because that ended up being one of my absolute favorites.

IMO this is the best drama I this year, definitely one of the best drama I've seen. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the episodes. I do agree that this drama is underated.
I wonder whether Kataoka will die in the end or a miracle happens and he lives Smile

This is a pretty good drama. Although, I can kind of picture where its headed. The problem I have with this drama is the main character. She doesn't fit the role of a low self esteem, suicidal, negative person. I have a hard time buying into her character. I don't think its a lack of good acting, but more of "does a woman like her really going to have these type of problems" I just have a hard time buying into it. Is not like its not possible or it doeesn't happen, I just don't think its likely. A actress like the one in Star No Koi would have been perfect for this role "the stalker one". This is the best drama probably this season though. Kiken na Aneki is pertty bad so far neither main character is a good actor or doessn't play thier type of role well, the dialoge is bad and over exaggerated to a irratating point. Hani yo dango, is OK I just get the feeling that its more about putting very popular actors and actress together to generate ratings more so then a good story. Some times putting a "All Star" cast takes away from the drama and story. I liked the last round of dramas better, Slow Dance, Dragon Zazuka and of course Densha Otoka. (My appologizes for the spelling mistakes with names and titles) I have a hard enough time with english, rather less Japanese.
