Hey guys! A new summer drama starring Rosa Kato and Shota Matsuda is airing July 13th. It's supposedly another manga adaptation. Can't believe Shota is starring in yet another drama!
Quick trivia--> For people who do not know who Rosa Kato is, she's the chick who's dating Tamiki Hiroshi (the uber hot guy from Nodame Cantabile)
I want to know more about this drama... but I hope it sounds boring (only because there are already too many good dramas next season and I don't think my internet download limit will be able to handle it !!)

Think Yaoh meets Kuroi Taiyou meets Jyouh and you'll get Jotei. The main character is a young girl who becomes a cabaret hostess when her formerly carefree life is disrupted. Aspiring to pay those who hurt her family back with their own coin, she gets into the cabaret hostess world to get money & power. Shota stars as the guy who protects and helps her along the course (essentially just replace Erika of Liar Game and replace it with Kato Rosa for Jotei and Shota's function in both dramas is more or less the same).
THAT'S Katou Rosa?? I LOVE HER!!!!!!! although it's kinda hard for me to picture her as a hostess... but anywhoo, it's Katou Rosa and Matsuda Shota!!! woohooo~~ can't wait for next season to start! so many dramas to watch, so little bandwidth...
I second the hope that someone is going to sub this. I adore Matsuda Shota and have been convinced since HYD2 that he's absolutely got the acting chops to easily surpass his brother, given half a chance. Can't wait to see him in this role!
OMG thats Rosa Kato?! i couldn't recognize her. she looks so different from how she looked like in Tsubasa No Oreta Tenshitachi 2. im glad she's finally getting a leading role. and the plot sounds interesting.
For me it an definitely Must-Watch. Let's see how Shota handles an yakuza role... Don't really like his hair, maoh, but I think it's gonna be interesting - hopefully a little bit more romantic than LIAR GAME, in which Shota was really good regarding acting^^
Edit// Just watched the CM. Did I see a cigarette in Shota's hand? O_O
Anyway, whenever I hear "bimbo" it reminds me of HanaDan, haha.
I agree with you. But maybe is a faked one, I hope so. But it fits to a yakuza, right?
Maybe we're going to sub this, but we still need a translator and it isn't 100% decided yet. But at least 80%. Just looking for a Japanese into English/German translator and - if possible - an uploader and someone with sfx experience. Maybe there's someone under us Matsuda Shota-Fans who'd help us?
Anyway, I think I'm gonna make an official announment after getting a green light from above.
Unlikely I don't speak german!! Just french, and english a little.
Ja!!
No
Just need someone who can translate Japanese into English. If there's someone who speaks German too, it'd be great - but it isn't a must.
Just asked our only Japanese translator, maybe she's helping beside Hana Kimi. Let's wait until she replied...
Jotei is coming at the end of next week, anyway. A little time is left

Gomen!! Anyway, you're right!! A little time is left before JOTEI. One question: Did TV Asahi display a special show to introcuce the drama?

But personally, I think Shota is a lot better looking xD
Yeah ryuhei movies are so weird!! He's acting very well tortured character with complex personnality !! I think he's not good in merrier role ...
And of course i prefer his bro' Shota Very good actor I hope that he will surprise us in Jotei!! (he he i don't forget that we are in Jotei's thread!!! )

I'm excited to see Kota Rosa in this drama! What a change from when I saw her play the innocent Futaba in "Dance Drill"! But pairing her up with Matsuda Shota is a dream-come-true for me! I'm sooo looking forward to seeing this drama!
I'll be watching for subs when I get back from Japan at the end of the month! ^_^ Good luck to whomever decides to pick this show up!
This drama doesn't seem to be popular with people Has the first episode aired in Japan yet? if so has anyone seen it, is it any good? I will watch it for Shota because I was really impressed with him in Liar Game (loved that drama so much )
Really bad? How can you say that? Did you understand all the plot? Perhaps are you a native japanese!
Anyway! It still at leat several episodes! I began the download of the 1st one and I hope the sub will come soon!! Shaaaaottttttttaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! I love you!!!!!Gomen LOL

For real?
F##########k, plot seemed A+. Meh, I will watch for myself in 20min. What sucked about it though?
EDIT: Gotta agree. Granted that my jap isn't stunning so the script might be completely ~amazing~, but the drama's pacing was soooooo dreadfully slow (they could've just opened with her at the club imo) and rosa kato is....I dunno. There's something about her and her stagnant facial expressions that I just find incredibly, incredibly uninteresting. As a quirky minor character she might've been alright, but a LEAD ROLE? Opposite Matsuda Shota? No offense girl, I know this is your career, but I hope you don't get too many gold-plated drama opportunities after this.

From the meeting between Jotei cast and Press.
Shota-kun is so cute I really like his new hair styling
Here the articles in Japanese ====>http://mantanweb.mainichi.co.jp/web/200 ... _1184.html
Enjoy!! I hope that the show will be a big one !! Yoshii

I concur! This has to go down as the worst pilot epi of the season. Acting's horrible sans Shota (but then even Shota wasn't as outstanding as he was in Lair Game and whatever few moments he had in HYD). Plot's ridiculous and unlike dramas from the same series Yaoh and Jyou... Jotei attempts to treat itself too seriously unlike the other 2. It's a very cheap production which attempts to be something out of its league but failed miserably.
I'd like to see Rosa in a drama ^^ & Shota can't wait
Edit: the drama seems dark :S
Sypnisis from Wikipedia:
Kato Rosa stars as Tachibana Ayaka, a young woman whose life has been ruined after she lost her boyfriend then her mother became gravely ill. Looking for revenge, she starts out as a hostess with the goal of rising to become the "empress" of the Osaka nightlife scene. Matsuda Shota plays a member of the underworld who becomes Ayaka's ally
I watched the first episode and I didn't think it was that bad actually, but do agree it was a little slow. Hopefullly things will heat up as the story goes on. This drama reminds me of some of the angsty and serious dramas I watched back in the nineties.
I agree with the above post that Kato Rosa seems a out of place in this drama. I just wasn't moved by her acting... but maybe she'll improve. I admit though that I originally tuned in to watch Matsuda Shota!

I tuned in to watch Shota too! LOL
Also I took a rapid eye on this first episode. It seemed serious yes. But we can't forget that it's not a comedy or anything like that. The plot is so thoughtful and we need to have more time to handle it. By the way the rating is not yet available.
Anyway, Matsuda shota is so cute in it (the scene with the bath towel is so "intense" LOL .. And Rosa Kato (I never see her acting...) but I will let her a chance to surprise me.
Ja!
P.S. I watched the 1st episode . I don't understand how people can say that it's bad. Definitively i'm already hooked. Even if I can't understand japanese!! Hope that this drama will be subbed very soon! Anyway these are some first episode screencaps I made....
Enjoy!!
