[Discussion] Best opening for a J-Drama
[Discussion] Best opening for a J-Drama
My vote goes for Boss.... Marvelous and glamor opening... Maybe because of the cast but also they are soooo cool and music with their catwalk is superb.....

My favorite openings:
Itsuka Mata Aeru - The theme song by Southern All Stars kicks butt! And, the part where Fukuyama, Sakurai and the rest keep trading looks with each other - that's really cool.
HOMEWORK - The scenes during the opening theme are comical! None of the scenes are of the actual characters. Instead, they're playing totally different people.
Dare ni mo Ienai - Matsutoya Yumi ROCKS in this opening theme. Watching Kaku Chikako running around the neighborhood (probably running from Sano Shiro,) and caught in only one take - it is really funny in a creepy sort of way.
Bokura ni Ai wo! - Great theme song. Again, the three main characters are acting out totally out-of-character during the opening credits. Eguchi Yosuke looks totally kakkoi here!
Komyo ga Tsuji - This is the by far the best theme song in all of taiga dramas. The animation throughout the opening credits is really great.
Wataru Seken wa Oni Bakari - By far this is THE BEST theme song of all TV dramas. The background is drab and boring, but the music just spells tragedy.

The best opening i have seen is Pride...the song was "Born to love you" by Queen and the actions of the ice hockey players were so cool...it gets your heart and adrenaline pumping!! I love it!!
Boss is also super cool!! I love openings that are not just snipets from the drama and are filmed aside with some budget and thought! Let me think or more I like...

My favorite openings would have to be,
Maou-Epic, that is all
Triangle- Just love the opening theme song and how they preview a bit of the last episode and goes into the present.
Yukemuri Sniper - Watching a guy murder ppl in opening scenes with the type of music it plays is incredibly fitting.
Joshidaisei Kaikeishi- Love the collage and song as well.
First Love - Only because it plays Sakura Drops which is one of my favorite songs. lol

I really like Kimi Hannin janai yo ne? opening, too! I even have the Super Looper (Ya-Kyim) video on my iPod.
Osen has a great opening, with the cast looking all cool and Micro's Odore on the background.
Like someone already mentioned, Binbo Danshi and the bathrooms.
Love Shuffle, tho if I remember correctly, it was pretty short... Tamaki Hiroshi looks really cool when he flips the card, and the music was good, too.

I agree with Love Shuffle! Loved the song they used. I also loved the opening of Stand Up!! The shots of families, friends/people you grew up with, places you've lived all your life etc. It's perfect for the show. And of course, it also helps that the song is by Arashi!
Um.. I also liked the Mei-chan opening because Hiro looks so cute in slow motion haha

I can't remember most of the openings of all the dramas I've watched but the following stands out so I remember them well.
Osen - First, I love the song used! The whole opening is pretty cool with Aoi Yuu waving the huge flag and the red and white pattern drapes in the background reflects the traditional Japanese feel of the drama.
Binbo Danshi - I really like the trail of flower petals or ribbon that flutters to the next toilet stall as it moves to the right. The concept is quite unique and cool too. Love the song too.
Liar Game - I like the wallpaper design in the background. The font used for the drama title is nice too. In general, quite cool.
Among those 3 I listed, my favourite is Osen.

Must say that I like the opening of many taiga dramas.
Nogaremon Orin
Asunaro Hakusho
Byakuyakou
Nakajima Miyuki's "Inochi no Betsumei" from Seija no Koushin (not that it an opening, but part of the drama.)
(I have the piano scores for this song, if anyone wants it, send me a PM.)
Same with "Home Nite" from Kita no Kuni kara.
Could be heard in the background of one of the first episodes when Jun was waiting for the train to travel home to Tokyo.

I agree that both Asunaro hakusho and Tokyo Love story are great, but my favorite is:
Wakamono no subete: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq-Gtaem74A
After all , "Tomorrow Never Knows" by Mr. Children is incredible!

I have to second the nomination for Mahoro Ekimae Bangaichi. Laid back, seemingly simple, and conceptually brilliant.
My all time fave has to be the opening sequence for Shiritsu Tantei Hama Maiku (2002) . The song is "Kuchibashi ni Cherry" by Ego Wrappin. Nagase Masatoshi cannot be topped in the cool department.
This link has the best video I could find online:

I also go for Boss! It's just glamorous yet action-packed. hihihi~
Also, Long Vacation (looks like they're really having fun)
Wakamono no subete Mr. Children, love the song... forgot what happened during the opening though x)
Recently watched Bitter Blood-- Mayday's Do you ever shine sounds sooo kakkoii with the father and son criss-crossing the road as tandem detectives. x)
