quluts, thanks for reminding me I have to watch this again!
I just started watching J-Dramas and this was the 2nd series I watched, which was great because it has a few similarities to American TV shows current and old and made it more accessible. I was so interested (and entertained) that I have watched a LOT more dramas and have gained a great appreciation for their Japanese uniqueness.
(and I'm not ashamed to say I picked this one because of Chiaki Kuriyama of Kill Bill and BR, though I probably should be). Any way, I've got t set some time to re watch this with Wikipedia open in my browser.

Re: It's all a game
Yeah, but I wasn't making fun of you. I meant just what I said. I felt so stupid afterwards because I wasn't able to figure out half of what you did. I'm actually going to watch it again with a friend and ask him whether he gets it. If he doesn't, I'll feel much better. I just watched it as a supernatural mystery series without thinking there might be more behind it. It's cool that there was, but it would've been cooler if I figured it out while actually watching.quluts wrote: I know you are just making fun of us, but few of us (myself included) noticed all the allusions and symbolism while we were enjoying it.

It seems it went unnoticed here, but there are also several self-references to Zukan ni Nottenai Mushi (The Insects Unlisted in Encyclopedia). It's a 2007 Satoshi Miki movie, in which Yusuke Iseya and Suzuki Matsuo are tracing a mysterious drug that allows one to experience death. It doesn't bear much similarity to Atami atmosphere-wise, as it's basically a stoner road movie with many gags of questionable taste, however in its finale it touches on the same concepts Atami does, and uses similar symbolism.
Possible references and similarities I did take note of include:(and likely many others I didn't notice)
But the similarities run deeper (a brief description of movie's ending follows, so proceed at your own discretion)Of course while there is no reason for conclusions drawn from Insects to hold any water in Atami, the connections between them are clear.

I'm baaack..
Ah, this great dorama is still generating interesting commentary...
I just watched ANS again, and it was a sheer pleasure from beginning to end. I was in my neighbourhood asian DVD emporium the other day when three young J-males came in. I found out they were crazy about Keizoku (the original, no less). I asked them if they had seen ANS. "Huh, what's that?" I set 'em up in a jiffy.
Tinkerbell, I haven't yet seen that Miki film you've mentioned. Amazing what excellent television can be made when it's done by a consummate, skilled artist /auteur rather than the usual hacks the network suits prefer. The same numbskulls that cut the series to eight eps.
And I'd just like to add, in case anyone is still reading this , that it is far, far better to watch a TV show (or a movie, etc.) and not be able to "get it", than to watch a show where you "get it" right from the start and see the rest of it coming from a mile away.
"Getting it" is super ovverated, IMHO.

Life is good, the creator of Atami no Sousakan is back with a new dorama.
This is what Miki Satoshi accomplished with ANS (quoting from the Urban Dictionary - a great definition, for once):
1. lightning in a bottle
Capturing something powerful and elusive and then being able to hold it and show it to the world.
Performing a rare feat.
A moment of creative brilliance.
Also a movie about BB King and a dorama called Atami no Sousakan. (italics mine )
