[OFFER] Upload Reqs for 80's JDorama Series
[OFFER] Upload Reqs for 80's JDorama Series
Hello Everybody !
I've only recently taking to using Bittorrent to get J-Dorama's i want to get and have been
very happy. But i'm from the old school of J-Dorama's and i'm more into 80's-Early 90's
Dorama's. Raw of course since i understand Japanese.
There has'nt been much in the way of 80's Dorama on D-Addicts until just recently
when Cocolala has started to seed the classic Chiemi Hori Dorama "Stewardess
Monogatari", which i'm DL'ing since i missed re-broadcasts on Japanese DBS.
So i am opening my posted TV series collection for seeding requests in a way to
promote 80's Doramas... Yes there were Dorama's before Tokyo Love Story & Love
Revolution.
If you wish to visit my Dorama DVD site here:
http://mewfdojins.com/Dorama/DoramaHome.htm
And reply on this forum to which Dorama's you would be interested in seeing and
i will take a poll after a few weeks and start seeding the most requested Dorama's.
I hope this will encourage other old school dorama fans who could also share
old series and generate new fans.
Hope to hear for you all !!!
P.S. This is not the only series i have and i plan to update the site soon with
new additions.

My vote is for Abunai Deka.
But I wouldn't mind if Sukeban Deka won...
But the one that's at the top of my wish list isn't on your site:
Sekai de Ichiban Kimi ga Suki
I was in Japan while the first five or so episodes aired, and I never saw the ending. If you happen to come across it, I'd be a very happy addict.

I have the movie (1986) with English subs. That, along with a few glimpses of the series. What's really cool about this series is that it practically celebrates 1980's Japan. Throughout the series, they play some really corny 1980's music... Picture a Japanese woman singing Madonna-style songs - in English. Another cool thing about the series is their display the fashion of 1980's Japan... Most of the women have nice wavy layered dark black hair, red lipstick, and really nice business clothes. Even the police uniforms are very nice! Man, a lot of 1980's hair remind me of Dorothy Hamill from the Olympic games, but most of the short hair-doos was because of the influence of Matsuda Seiko, which started when she made her debut in 1980. Everyone -- even my precious Sakai Noriko -- wanted to be like Seiko.mieko wrote:4 Votes for Abunai Deka so far... Good to see people know this great series.

LOL! yt_toshi does seem to be a moderator, having all those battle scars from D-Addicts newbies. But no, he isn't a moderator yet. As for movies, no movies are allowed on D-Addicts. We did allow movies at one time, but the MPAA had the site shut down for awhile because of a STUPID upload. So all the movie torrents were moved to FSS, and movies have been banned from D-Addicts ever since.mieko wrote:Well i do have the DVD's for all 4 movies & the 98' TV Special. I would most likely seed
those as well but i read somewhere on D-addicts that they don't like people seeding
movies. Maybe yt_toshi can clarify that for me since he's a mod and is reading this thread.

I would have discounted that title anyways since it is widely available.spacecommand wrote:ODORU DAISOUSASSEN is already available here on D-addicts with English subs.
Not to mention that Odoru Daisousasen is a late 1990's series not 80's series.
If the person wants to see Aitsu ga Trouble (assuming they are a Yuji Oda fan)
that would be a different story.
Is it my imagination or does the majority of people on D-addicts don't bother looking at anything that is old or does'nt have the newest pretty boys or girls in it ?
I was hoping to build on the good work that cocolala has started with Stewardess Monogatari and offer stuff from my own library and torrent it.
There's certainly nominal interest with Abunai Deka (Which i will do) , my site has certainly
gotten lots of views from people here and this thread has certainly gotten lots of views.
Yet.... Not a lot of real interest in seeing older series.
It's a little frustrating and saddening when people seem to ignore that there were lots of
great dramas before the beginning of the Dorama boom that started with shows like Tokyo
Love Story, Long Vacation & Love Revolution.
It would be nice if more old school fans (even if they are even on this board) come out
and try to generate some interest among younger fans....
As it is... outside of cocolala's torrents and and me doing Abunai Deka (No point me wasting my time putting up shows that there is no interested whatsoever) any possible
resurgence of great 80's drama's (Even 70's dramas... Anybody remeber Playgirl or G-Men 75' ? ) will just die and that would be sad....

No, you are not imagining things, but if you think about it, it's not all that surprising, considering the demographics of the site and because it seems that a lot of people were introduced to dramas through anime or their interest in jpop. Also, from the sounds of it, you have a bunch of dramas that aired before a lot of members were even born! ^_^;;;mieko wrote:Is it my imagination or does the majority of people on D-addicts don't bother looking at anything that is old or does'nt have the newest pretty boys or girls in it ?

Another problem is that there really is a dearth of knowledge regarding dramas from this time period though. Heck, most dramas from the early 90's are barely recognized either, and it doesn't get any better the further back in time you go. I've been watching dramas since about '91 or '92, but access was extremely limited where I was growing up on the East Coast (after all, there was no internet, I couldn't drive yet, and then there was that pesky language barrier thingee), and to be honest, I have never heard of any of the older dramas you are generously offering to upload. Doesn't mean I'm not interested in them though... :p
But I think the fact that you have these dramas and are willing to share them could help generate interest in them again. After all, good stories are good stories. If you ask me, it's all a question about access. If Turner Classic Movies never existed, would I or anybody in my generation or younger have ever discovered how amazingly fantastic classic movies from the 30s and 40s are? I doubt it...Why? I have no clue...preconceived notions maybe? Anyhow, I think it's pretty similar...(BTW, if any of you have never seen a movie from this era, do it now! Beats the majority of stuff Hollywood puts out nowadays)
Whatever you decide is fine, just thought I'd add my 2 cents to it...
And I'm pretty sure groink will have more interesting arguments to add....
Well, mieko, it's not your imagination at all. As mizune said, the demographics here on D-Addicts are rather young people who probably either don't know that these dramas exist or don't care at all. I'll tell you one thing, even though I was born in the early 80's and started watching dramas in the late 90's, I tend to like some variety in my dramas and it doesn't have to have the newest pretty boys (not that I care) or pretty girls (some girls in the 80's are beautiful). I'm glad that you brought up your list of dramas because I'm curious about what type of Japanese drama existed in the 80s and 90s, before the Dorama boom.mieko wrote:Is it my imagination or does the majority of people on D-addicts don't bother looking at anything that is old or does'nt have the newest pretty boys or girls in it ?

IMHO, it's not your fault that you're offering these really interesting and hard-to-find types of drama to everyone here. It's just that if a younger person were to look at your list, they would probably think that these old dramas would only be interesting if their favorite actor or actress where starring in it and won't bother reading the synopsis that you put up. Oh well, their lost is everyone else's gain.There's certainly nominal interest with Abunai Deka (Which i will do) , my site has certainly

Yet.... Not a lot of real interest in seeing older series.
Even though Tokyo Love Story, Long Vacation, and Love Revolution are good dramas, some D-Addict members, young ones especially, probably won't even think about dramas prior to the ones that you've mentioned. They use website like jdorama.com and others and base their judgment on what others have said without even watching the drama beforehand. I agree that people ignore old dramas and if there were some way that they can access this information similar to jdorama, then it might spark some interest. However, that depends on whether or not their willing to take a chance on the dramas that you have listed.It's a little frustrating and saddening when people seem to ignore that there were lots of
great dramas before the beginning of the Dorama boom that started with shows like Tokyo
Love Story, Long Vacation & Love Revolution.
That would be a great idea, but I think that it will fall on deaf ears to many of the younger fans.It would be nice if more old school fans (even if they are even on this board) come out
and try to generate some interest among younger fans....
I don't remember Playgirl (I thought you were referring to the magazine) and G-Men 75 (sounds like something similar to Playgirl), but any drama prior to the Dorama boom will always be welcome here, even if only a few of members are willing to watch them (like me).As it is... outside of cocolala's torrents and and me doing Abunai Deka (No point me wasting my time putting up shows that there is no interested whatsoever) any possible
resurgence of great 80's drama's (Even 70's dramas... Anybody remeber Playgirl or G-Men 75' ? ) will just die and that would be sad....
Overall, I think it all comes down to these issues (there's probably more):
1. The performers in the drama since, I assume, the younger memebers of D-Addicts would probably be interested in your list of dramas if it starred one of their favorite actors/actress (i.e. a younger Yukie Nakama, Miho Kanno, Misaki Itoh or a younger Kimura Takuya, Takayuki Yamada, Jun Matsumoto)
2. English subtitles since you don't know how many times people will ask for these and will beg to the point where they will annoy a lot of people (I just happen to be one of these people who are annoyed by this). Also, if they do show interest in your list of drama, they will only watch it if English subtitles are available (of course, there are a few who will take a chance on watching the drama for the purpose of either learning the language or just trying their best to make out what's going on in the drama).
Sorry for my long rant and repeats, but I'm just as disappointed as you are mieko when it comes to these really interesting dramas that you're offering

Yeah i guess many of my dramas would be older than your average fan here and on Jdorama.... I'm happy that anime as finally made it big outside of Japan but it has not really helped to expend peoples interests to include everything... not just what was
released in the last 6 months.
Another problem is that there really is a dearth of knowledge regarding dramas from this time period though.

Doesn't mean I'm not interested in them though... :p
- Yeah. I made my dorama site originally to get members on Jdorama.com interested
in great older series, but no interest whetsoever outside of "Is Hard Luck Hero English
subtitled ?" I've got lots and lots more dramas from the 80's & Early 90's i could have
put up but after putting in a lot of work into my site and no real response.... it can really
be depressing. The point i guess i'm making is that... the reason there is not a lot of
english resources for older dorama's is that old school fans such as my self see the
writing on the wall and know that younger fans are not into anything that is not trendy.

-Well i'll do Abunai Deka for sure... Maybe it will generate interest... Who knows.
I mean, there have been enough people downloading Stewardess Monogatari
yet there has'nt been any real interest on this tread. Are people downloading
because they are curious and then watch saying "Oh this is too old...Who's Chiemi
Hori ? " Or are there old school fans that are downloading and don't bother coming to the forums, therefore making it difficult to determine whether there's interest ?
I agree with you about old movies... They do exceed in quality compared to the crap being put out today. Roman Holiday is one of my all time favorite movies.
But again, younger fans would even bother to look at it because it's in Balck & White.
Whatever you decide is fine, just thought I'd add my 2 cents to it...

-Well i was born in 70' and started watching anime in the early 80's (83') and dorama's
in 85' and even though my dorama interests have evolved (Watching Densha Otoko,
Dragon Sakura & Shiawase ni Naritai now..) my core interests still remain in the 80's-
early 90's as the quality of stuff back then is a little better and fresh than stuff today.
Also i liked the fact that back then it was all on film and not videotaped... There's a certain
quality that comes from filmed live action that you can't get otherwise.

-That's the sad thing.... If they were really interested in watching good dramas it should'nt matter whether it should happen to have the most current heartthrob in it
and watch it because it's a good drama. It would be nice if people at least read the
synopsis and asked some questions it would at least show they were mildly interested.
It would be just nice if more old school & really enlighten fans such as the nice people
such as yourself would sound off here. I would love myself to be able to find some
old shows i'm missing and would love to see again.
Even though Tokyo Love Story, Long Vacation, and Love Revolution are good dramas, some D-Addict members, young ones especially, probably won't even think about dramas prior to the ones that you've mentioned. They use website like jdorama.com and others and base their judgment on what others have said without even watching the drama beforehand.

great dramas before the beginning of the Dorama boom that started with shows like Tokyo
Love Story, Long Vacation & Love Revolution.
Yeah... Jdorama is pretty limited to shows that have been aired since that site started
and what was released on Chinese subtitled VCD's.
My List of Dorama's on Jdorama are here:
http://www.jdorama.com/viewprofile.9465.htm
But that's pretty limited since all the other dramas i own don't even show up in their
database. Unfortunately the same fans that go to Jdorama are the same as on this
site...Which you already kinda said anyways. I was hoping to use my site to help foster interest and expand peoples dorama horizons...but after 5 months of zero
feedback it's pretty depressing to think there are sooo many closed minds out there.
That would be a great idea, but I think that it will fall on deaf ears to many of the younger fans.It would be nice if more old school fans (even if they are even on this board) come out
and try to generate some interest among younger fans....
-Well even if the old school fans and collectors would come out and share resources
that would be just as good. My library is a good size but nowhere to where i would like to have. I can't be the only 80's dorama collector out there... It's like Jpop.. My 80's
Jpop CD library numbers about 1,200 import CD's,Cassettes and Vinyl. Yet trying to
find collectors & fans who actually know who Onyanko Club,Seiko Matsuda or
Sayuri Kokusho are is next to impossible. If younger fans are so closed minded,
then it's a real shame.
I don't remember Playgirl (I thought you were referring to the magazine) and G-Men 75 (sounds like something similar to Playgirl), but any drama prior to the Dorama boom will always be welcome here, even if only a few of members are willing to watch them (like me).As it is... outside of cocolala's torrents and and me doing Abunai Deka (No point me wasting my time putting up shows that there is no interested whatsoever) any possible
resurgence of great 80's drama's (Even 70's dramas... Anybody remeber Playgirl or G-Men 75' ? ) will just die and that would be sad....
Playgirl- Think of a Japanese version of Charlie's Angels with 5 chicks.
G-Men 75 - "Goverment Men 75" - Elite Goverment agents fighting crimes
I will remember that... I hope to get more feedback to justify the time and effort.
Overall, I think it all comes down to these issues (there's probably more):
1. The performers in the drama since, I assume, the younger memebers of D-Addicts would probably be interested in your list of dramas if it starred one of their favorite actors/actress (i.e. a younger Yukie Nakama, Miho Kanno, Misaki Itoh or a younger Kimura Takuya, Takayuki Yamada, Jun Matsumoto)
-Yeah, that's the vibes i pick up as well.
2. English subtitles since you don't know how many times people will ask for these and will beg to the point where they will annoy a lot of people (I just happen to be one of these people who are annoyed by this). Also, if they do show interest in your list of drama, they will only watch it if English subtitles are available (of course, there are a few who will take a chance on watching the drama for the purpose of either learning the language or just trying their best to make out what's going on in the drama).
-I learned Japanese in the early 80's so i could start to understand the anime i liked
to watch. My feeling is if you really want to enjoy the stuff you watch...learn the language !!!!! My wife is a major Anime translator ( i do translating as well) so we
work doing subtitling all the time...but no matter how well you translate something
you will always lose something. Maybe people are just too spolit these days with
digisubs and subtitled anime on every video store. It does seem, once again if it's not
English or Chinese Subtitled there's little interest.
Sorry for my long rant and repeats, but I'm just as disappointed as you are mieko when it comes to these really interesting dramas that you're offering
that at least have a open mind. Thank you for your post
My votes:

Like the others said, some of us are interested in these old series, but there's not alot of info about them and they're not easily available. Even classics like Abarenbo Shogun are still only available on VHS. ( Not even the latest seasons of it are out on DVD yet.)
So a big thank you to everyone here who are sharing these great series.

Like the others said, some of us are interested in these old series, but there's not alot of info about them and they're not easily available. Even classics like Abarenbo Shogun are still only available on VHS. ( Not even the latest seasons of it are out on DVD yet.)
So a big thank you to everyone here who are sharing these great series.
sound off and say something. It's makes it some satisfying if one's effort is appreated.
I've actually got about 20 ep's from Abarenbo Shogun-Season 1 on S-VHS !!! Haven't
transferred them to DVD yet.

I agree with that. Actually, I've never been much of a B&W film fan myself, but had actually watched Roman Holiday (cuz I had no other choice, only english-speaking program on and I was homesick) and found it to be an absolute gem (and no, the homesickness didn't play that big a role in it, Audrey and Gregory was absolutely brilliant in it). Started to look for other B&W films then, but got sidetracked when I got addicted to the kdrama/jdrama . I guess by providing the opportunity for people to see these older series, there's a chance for a revival in the interest of the older series. Kudos for taking the initiative.mieko wrote: Roman Holiday is one of my all time favorite movies.
But again, younger fans would even bother to look at it because it's in Balck & White.
Roman Holiday is one of those Romantic Classics that should be in every film fans collection.
I'm saving my pennies so i can by the Japanese Import Roman Holiday Remastered DVD Box.
Just like with 80's dramas, there are some that should not be missed.
I hope when i start seeding Abunai Deka, people will watch and see what they have been
missing.

you made me curious in both roman holiday and abunai deka now
and i think that not all young people just disappear when you say old movie/drama
i don't think i'm that old and i love b&w movies
but it's true haven't seen much old drama (though i haven't seen much dramas all together)
although to end in a more optimistic note, it's a "old" drama that got me first addicted : konna koi no hanashi
and thanks for offering us the possibility to discover those 80s dramas

as well. There are soo many good old dramas out there that it would be great if they
did see the day of light on Bittorrent at least. I generally watch new and old dramas
at the same time. Just finished Shiawase ni Naritai and started Aitai toki ni Anata wa inai
from 91' starring Miho Nakayama.
I watched the trailers... waaa that's just too cool! I want to see it :D And now I'm even more curious about the original drama series.mieko wrote:Yeah... The 5th movie is out ! The last one was back in 98' Here's the site:

I have to check my home to see if yt_yoshi's living in here. Same thoughts - most of the dramas these past couple of years haven't caught my attention. Yes, they're not bad... BUT, most of them do target the idol-ism fans, which I've outgrown a long time ago.yt_toshi wrote:That's sounds great mieko.
Finally, something to watch besides all the current dramas (not that they are bad or anything) that are currently here

- You don't know how happy it makes me to hear that I'm glad you are enjoying it and hope others will shout out to let me know that this upload project and series is appreacted.
I'm going to be getting help uploading Abunai Deka so i can bring more 80's dramas to all
80's fans.
- Jdorama is worse for "selective" watching more than D-addicts... I tried getting people interest there but it was a no go and waste of my time... At least i'm getting some feedback here.

That's sounds like an interesting drama too and hopefully, if there's a chance, I would like to see Aitsu Ga Trouble since it sounds a little like Odoru Daisousasen in a way (based on your synopsis of the drama).mieko wrote:Just to let everybody who actually pays attention to this thread and is interested in 80's Dramas that later on today (It's 3:21am right now...so sometime in the afternoon) that i will

What did you expect? I bet the majority of people on Jdorama probably watch doramas with stars that they recognize (and with the typical fanboys/fangirls thrown in), which means your dramas don't register with them as something worthy to watch. So, mieko, you came to right place here on D-Addicts because many of us are willing to cater to any drama, even older dramas as well- Jdorama is worse for "selective" watching more than D-addicts... I tried getting people interest there but it was a no go and waste of my time... At least i'm getting some feedback here.
... which is why I ditched JDorama.com almost one year ago. That place ended up turning into a fangirl/boy dump, with many of the topics turning into a f**king chatroom, and too much Korean stuff pouring in. I now use JDorama.com purely for research - but even that's becoming less of a necessity seeing the DramaWiki surpassed JDorama.com's database awhile back. It was a good sight a couple of years ago.yt_toshi wrote:What did you expect?

I'm still sorry you decided to leave.groink wrote:... which is why I ditched JDorama.com almost one year ago.
The problem is that almost all of the Japanese dramas being shown in other countries (eg Singapore, Malaysia, etc) are the "trendy" dramas that are full of eye candy. No eye candy = not good drama, right? <sarcasm emphasized> Even I am getting confused whether they are talking about Korean or Japanese dramas. I personally only watch Japanese dramas, so the rest is all foreign to me.groink wrote: That place ended up turning into a fangirl/boy dump, with many of the topics turning into a f**king chatroom, and too much Korean stuff pouring in.
It is a nice feature to be able to add dramas that are missing or lacking information. Also, do you see any way of restoring it back to the way it was?groink wrote: I now use JDorama.com purely for research - but even that's becoming less of a necessity seeing the DramaWiki surpassed JDorama.com's database awhile back.

I gave up on J-Dorama when i could not generate any interest whatsoever in 80's dramas,not a single reply or E-mail !!! All i got was "Oh ! is Hard Luck Hero English Subtitled ?". WTF !!!!
Also the whole Korean and other Asian dramas flooding J-Dorama made it rather
annoying!!!
Does'nt J-Dorama mean Japanese Drama and not Korean,Chinese or whatever ?
Plus the fact that it's just and fanboy/girl site as well kinda annoys me and just serve to limit people from exploring the fact that there are other things out there than "trendy dramas"
Maybe it's because i'm thirysomething and prefer to enjoy dramas & anime from my youth,but fact is that i really haven't seen too many dramas in the last decade alone that really impress me.
I'm truley grateful that there are people here that do appreacte older drama and hope that there are other old school collectors here that will seed othe old shows as well.

I went back and saw your topic. I think one of the problems is there isn't much older dramas out there for trading. At least for me, the earlier ones I have are from the mid 90s, and the quality of them is less than desirable.mieko wrote:I gave up on J-Dorama when i could not generate any interest whatsoever in 80's dramas,not a single reply or E-mail !!!

There was a whole issue about that. People started posting, "Why not make it JKDorama.com?" But the posts remain there, albeit under the General Discussions and Buy Sell Trade.mieko wrote: Also the whole Korean and other Asian dramas flooding J-Dorama made it rather

They don't want to take the chance. Someone needs to infiltrate the VCD market with the older dramas. You might pique their interest; then again, they may simply reject it.mieko wrote: Plus the fact that it's just and fanboy/girl site as well kinda annoys me and just serve to limit people from exploring the fact that there are other things out there than "trendy dramas"
I enjoy Japanese dramas, period. No matter when they were produced. I started watching in the mid 90's and haven't stopped since.

Aitsu is sorta like Odoru in the fact that they're a bunch of misfits,but Yoko Minamino's
character is quite ditzy most of time which is a stark contrast to Yuji's character in Odoru.

Maybe dochira might recall the thread that discussed about having Korean dramas on the website and one of the moderators (I think it was bmwracer) didn't want Korean dramas on the site because the purpose of the site was suppose to be about "Japanese" dramas. I think the discussion started to get heated because of the attitude of the original poster and the view he/she had about the site.Also the whole Korean and other Asian dramas flooding J-Dorama made it rather
annoying!!!

I agree that there are other dramas that are as good or better than the "trendy dramas", yet trying to steer them away from it isn't easy because all they want is their favorite actor/actress to be in the drama for their "eyecandy" purposes only.Plus the fact that it's just and fanboy/girl site as well kinda annoys me and just serve to limit people from exploring the fact that there are other things out there than "trendy dramas"
You're not alone. I'm sure there are a couple of 30 something people here on D-Addicts that will share the same viewpoint as you about old dramas. Although I'm not 30, I can tell you that I'm open about the types of Japanese dramas available and as long as it can keep me entertained, I don't really pay attention how old they are.You can see
Maybe it's because i'm thirysomething and prefer to enjoy dramas & anime from my youth,but fact is that i really haven't seen too many dramas in the last decade alone that really impress me.
Everyone here on D-Addicts is grateful that you've helped open more options for viewing dramas other than "trendy dramas". So, thank you and cocolala (Stewardess Monogatari) for bringing these classics back to life.I'm truley grateful that there are people here that do appreacte older drama and hope that there are other old school collectors here that will seed othe old shows as well.
