something isn't right about the cast for ラスト・フレンズ (Last Friends). I don't remember any of the actors/actresses being named for the drama.

Otherwise, this should be an interesting season for jdramas. I hope none of them will disappoint me. Smile

Hmm.. so we're still able to get drama from Japan even though there's the whole p2p ban thing..? People sure are great with technologies these days.

Zettai Kareshi???? ANO Zettai Kareshi????? whoa.. I never thought they'd actually made a drama series from that manga! it hasn't got any story at all!! it'll be interesting how they gonna do it for the drama.. Smile

Haha, whatever Rookies may be about it looks interesting. But my japanese is still to bad to actually read the plot on the official hp. Looks tasty though. Big Smile
