Just a couple ideas but no computer knowledge to back it up... I noticed that as soon as the 'Jdrama of the month' choices are announced, people start seeding to back up both choices right away, I guess their hope is that when the winner is announced that there will be a larger pool of seeds availab...

Yeah, I love Shibasaki Kou, did you see her in the movie Dororo? Another bizarro cinematic experience, I wondered how they could be so inventive and come up with so many weird demons, but I found later that many of those demon creations actually are part of Japanese lore, like inugami and that tree ...

Thanks for your recommendations rootabega, it's funny, I bought a copy of IWGP many years ago but couldn't get through it, the subs were probably awful. Because I had a dvd copy I never saw a well subbed version. Been meaning to try it again, I like the cast. Curious about your statement that you we...

I'm very partial to these quirky dramas, in no particular order: Yorozu Uranaidokoro Onmyouya e Yokoso Deka Wanko Kuitan GM Doctor Galileo Otenki Oneesan Hero Saiyuuki (with Eri Fukatsu) The ensemble work and comedic timing are great, I loved the direction and writing, when I watch these it's like I...

I just recently saw Key of Life and Like Father Like Son in the theaters, I highly recommend both of those. Love the actors and actresses in those movies, the screenplays and direction are totally excellent. Also, I loved Thermae Romae, taken from a manga, they recently released Thermae Romae II if ...

I did watch it after seeing Dororo, wanted to see them interact in a series, they were really good, I keep wondering if they'll be in anything upcoming... seems like so many of the stars that were big a couple of years ago have disappeared from view. Are they on vacation or what? I don't follow very...

Kou Shibasaki became a top favorite with me after I saw her in Galileo, and Tsumabuki Satoshi is so great in this role, Eita and the other actors are wonderful as well, oh I really wish they had made the Dororo sequel!!!
T_T

wobblywalker

Well I don't know about now, but you might try ebay or Amazon. I bought the dvd when the movie first came out but gave it to my cousin a long time ago. Sadly they never made a sequel, it was an 'unfinished business' sort of ending (for me anyway). The lead actors/actresses were great.

Supernatural...
I liked Shabake and Dororo (movie), Shabake has a sequel Usouso, but I see no seeds.

My TOP favorite series would be Saiyuuki and it's sequel, although I hear Kaibutsu-kun is pretty good...

Had two La Cie drives completely blow out, couldn't rescue anything, but I am also not computer savvy. Currently using a WD essential NB but it's flaking out on me, not sure if it's the drive or the old laptop (which admittedly has been dropped a couple of times), EXHD keeps disconnecting, don't kno...

OMG, someone just showed me how to make onigiri last month, I've practically eaten nothing but riceballs ever since, I use Tamanishiki rice for onigiri, or Kokuho, rinse and soak for half an hour, make in a rice cooker and leave the lid on at least 15 minutes after it clicks off. Meanwhile, take a c...

Waaaahoooo! My Japanese friend just showed me how to make delish chicken karaage: 1 pkg boneless chicken thighs, cut up to nugget size (they say the skin on is more delicious) marinate 1-2 hrs in: 1/3 c shoyu 1/3 c sake 1 tsp garlic powder 2" knob of fresh ginger, grated grated zest and juice o...

The natto came in a frozen pkg with some mustard and sauce, but the taste was lacking something. Maybe it was too pre-packaged. Maybe it wasn't from soybeans, in the picture the beans are so huge, the one I ate had small beans the size of blackbeans. I hear green onions go well, maybe I'll try it wi...

wobblywalker

Your 'shiokara' emoticon says it all.

I tried natto handroll sushi, it was pretty good. But when I bought some natto and ate it with rice it didn't float my boat, I wonder if people add something to it.

wobblywalker

I didn't know what shiokara was so I had to look it up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiokara

Do they really eat it like that or do they mix it in with cooking food like fish sauce or oyster sauce? I could see using it as a seasoning or something. But the description doesn't sound very nice.

wobblywalker

Oh yeah, @Kathleen, the mochi you describe sounds like daifuku. I love daifuku but I crave ohagi because the ones I got at the store seemed sweeter. I love mochi icecream too. But after reading these entries I think I'll go make a pot of chicken curry rice, yum. Sometimes I crave takikomi gohan and ...

The top foods I crave when watching JDramas are takoyaki, karaage chicken, korokke, omurice, and those large rolled crepes with fruit and whipped cream, ice cream, chocolate drizzles, and whatever they put in those things. Oh yes, and cream puffs or any of those fancy cake things they show from thei...

Yayyy!! Awesome, thank you!

wobblywalker

Yay, thank you!

wobblywalker

Oh dear, I really loved his performances and was looking forward to seeing him in more jdramas, I know writing takes up a lot of time but I hope he will consider returning to the screen some times. I wondered why I hadn't heard anything new about him after he got married, and I hope his dreams are r...

wobblywalker

Oh dear, much too hard to choose, but my go-to series that I love to watch any time are:

1. Nodame Cantabile
2. Hero
3. Saiyuuki

wobblywalker

Check your PM...

wobblywalker

As much as I love Hero, I consider it to be a prosecuter drama rather than a police drama, so it's a toss up between Galileo and Odoru Daisosasen for me... I really love them both...

wobblywalker

Tendou, are you talking about the part where an elderly gent comes up and encourages him to make it to the end of the finals? The music there is from The Moldau by Smetana, from Ma Vlast...

Have the made one for My Heavenly Hockey Club yet? I love that manga. Love Skip Beat too, but don't know how they could top the manga, it's too fantastic...

wobblywalker

One plot difference that I see rather frequently is that In JDorama they will have a 'bully' girl who treats the main character in a very bad way but there is forgiveness and redemption of some sort and they become friends or get over their incident as if it never happened. Examples I can think of a...

wobblywalker

You can try Amazon or Google, I have to get some of my ingredients online. Good luck!

mmmm, thank you for the chapchae recipe! I went to a gyoza making party and they showed us how to pleat gyozas, have tried a few times and now I have a sort of routine I can follow. Shrimp Gyoza OK, well I don't have much of a recipe, I just make a bowlful of stuffing and use it all up. If you want ...

chapchae with kimchee and seasoned seaweed, giant bowl of rice - yummers...

and might I add, your pictures are so gorgeous, what delicious looking food!

wobblywalker

You're welcome... also, someone shouted out for Akechi Mitsuhide SP to be seeded so maybe that will be seeding right now too... I think it's set before 1600 (?)

wobblywalker

They're seeding Mori Motonari right now, and Yoshitsune is set in Japan 1170-1185 thereabouts...

Waiting for Ryoma Den with Fukuyama Masaharu ...
but I like Tokyo Dogs so far too... also Samurai High School because I really like Miura Haruma...

wobblywalker

I loved Skip Beat!

wobblywalker

I enjoy watching both of these actors, hugely looking forward to this drama! Aww, I like bushy eyebrows, I thought Jun M looked so cute in Kimi Wa Petto, then he thinned his eyebrows for other series and I didn't like it as well. I love detective series too, I really want to see this!

wobblywalker

I loved Hero and Mr. Brain, and I hope for another season... funny enough I had bought a Yoji Yamada movie awhile back called Love and Honor which he stars in, I've only seen a few of his dramas but wondered if he had the acting chops to do a samurai movie. I just watched it and he was damn good, IM...

wobblywalker

Wooo.. thanks for the great info! After reading your reviews I ordered one on Amazon.com, $93 with free Super Saver shipping... can't wait!

wobblywalker

Hard decision, but I would probably go with the tooth. When it's your time, I believe the right instrument will come to you... put that wish out to the Universe...

wobblywalker

She's a real cutie, I was touched at his words that he found her indispensable to his life. I hope to see a lot more of him in doramas... Maybe because of his real-life situation he does have a great hottie/romantic persona when he acts! :-) and yes, congrats to both of them, I wish them every happi...

wobblywalker

Thanks for the info, I loved Galileo, definitely looking forward to this one! Shota is a cutie, what great news!
