How did you like Ai no Uta, starting the beautiful Kanno Miho? I think her role in this drama is very different from that of the others, which makes her more likable. What do you think?

*Please vote only after you have seen at LEAST 3 eps. Thanks!

After seeing the first episodes (and the first 10 minutes of Ep.2 without understanding much...) it seems like a really nice drama. And Miho Kanno is just a very interesting woman. At first I wasn't sure where I knew her from, but then I remebered "Dolls". There I thought of her as a extremly fascinating person too. The other characters are nice too, though "his" (you know, the old guy...) niceness can get a bit annoying from time to time. Almost like Densha crying all the time ;-)

Episode 1 is indeed interesting, I tried this drama because of Tamaki Koji, because I've seen him in Konna Koi no Hanashi (that drama is good), and if you have seen that, it's like he's playing the same kind man role again. It fits him though. And yes a different Miho Kanno this time, though as the show goes on I think we'll see her usual sweet acting like her dramas before.

I only watched the first episode so far
Hidden:

and it angers me to see the young girl being treated like that by her mother. however, Kanno Miho's character is very amusing

and I'm anticipating to see the next episode which is in mid-download. Smile

I realized a few things after seeing ep.2 and reading the wiki (maybe I'm just thick-headed and you know this already)...

1) The little girl also plays the little girl in Hotman (kawaii Smile )
2) The old guy is the artist who sings the theme song (I found that hard to believe).

Anyway, I thought ep.2 was really good too... Laugh

One more episode and then I'll vote.

To be honest I didn't expect anything great from this drama because I had finished the moving Ima Ai ni Yukimasu just few dayd before watching Ai no Uta. But it really surprised me and I watched the second ep yesterday. Now I'm waiting for the 3th ep * v * (the kids are soooooooo cute!!!!!)

After seeing Ep2 I can only say, what a wonderful drama! I just love Miho Kanno in this, but the other people in it are just so adorable Smile BTW, does anyone know where to find the bridge which seems to be a central point in this series? Since I will be going to Tokyo, I think I just want to go there for fun Smile Google Earth Links are welcome ;)

I think it's really well made, a lot of very nice ideas. It's extremely kitschy but in a good way!

Somehow I think... this dorama is not getting the attention it deserves...

I think its a great drama. Somewhat different than most drama yet more realistic a bit. I too agree that its not getting the attention it deserves, probably due to other dramas that are out at the same time.

It means "Love Song," or....if you want a spoiler:

Hidden:


Because in episode 2, they decide that since she, Yoko (played by Kanno Miho) has lost her memory, they will give her a name that fits best. And it's 'Ai'. In Japanese, 'ai' means love. She remembers a girl in her class named 'Ai' saying she was named that because her parents wished for her to be loved by all people. So...anyway, perhaps it can be seen as "Ai's Song," too...now that she has been "reborn" or "renamed" LOVE--the one thing she has missed the most her entire life.

Smile
