Curious Casebook of Inspector Hanshichi

I am waiting for it watching again in Netflix, as in the strategist Kanbe, or other films, the drug addicted and disappeared from Japanese TV shows, appear in Netflix. Curious casebook of Inspector Hanshichi is the oldest detective stories describing about Edo period, written in Meiji Era by Kabuki playwright Okamoto, Kido. The story is effected strongly the ideas of Sherlock Holmes, and he described Edo life, between Samurai and the people in town, both calendrical and religious way. https://jat.org/ja/translators/books-by-jat-members/the_curious_casebook_of_inspector_hanshichi

Translated by Ian McDonald, and in Japanese, it is available in Aozora Bunko. https://www.aozora.gr.jp/index_pages/person82.html I loved a lot, and the TV shows exists by several actors, it seems. It was my best hit show ever, the version produced by NHK, starring Hiroyuki Sanada.

I knew him as a handsome actor, but always a bit comical roles are given. But here, he was acting with Geta sandals in Kimono, and it was only the opportunity that let him the most beautiful and coolest role ever. Although I knew him playing in Hong Kong, and he was popular already. Then he moved out to Hollywood, and he is now famous Samurai actor all over the world. I missed him but it was obvious choice to him. So I tried to watch his films if I could find. I liked him in another series in NHK, but I don't remember much, but he was a Samurai general, and beautiful on horses. This series is well made, and I really went home in hurry for this show, but since the similar murder occurred and the teen boy was arrested, the episode listed was omitted, and the rest episodes are cancelled. And it has never been on released/aired. I have been waited for long time for getting a complete edition, and now I believe this is a chance. I love the music and the scripts. Especially beautiful shots in modern Tokyo with Hanshichi. Dear Netflix and NHK, you must think of it. This is exactly fit to the taste of channels on your line-ups. And I want it the other stories done by hopefully Jun'ichi Okada, for he is a good age and extreme athlete now. Or younger, Ryusei Yokohama, he is also good. By the way, in the same year, Ryu Murakami wrote daily the In the Miso Soup in Newspaper and a week before the case in real happened, the story turned out that is the murder story, and synchronized. It should take a week so it was a thrilling experience. https://archive.org/details/isbn_9784770029577

Netflix, be brave for digging out the good quality dramas.

Strategist Kanbe

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2465992/?ref_=mv_close

He is probably not well-known Samurai at all until this. And Jun-ichi Okada is probably not chosen for the smart rolls at all before this. He is known to play several martial arts, good at riding horse nowadays. If he studies English, I believe he will be a next Hiroyuki Sanada, obviously. As they are used by Japanese "typical" roles are bummers, often comical and the third man in the love comedies due to their heights. Here, the strategist's life is described. This is a sort of a unique genre series, still continues, on Sunday time prime time, describing about a whole life of the historical character. You'd love this, and the actor.

A Life in Rakugo

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8660582/

Masaki Okada (drive my car) appears and plays Rakugo player, a Japanese comic show player. His rival, Ikusaburo Yamazaki, who is a musical actor, is really good for listening the original tapes. They're both from Tokyo, and actually they have to speak the downtown accent, but the musical guy is much better for performing, and it really follows the story. He tries also good as well, but the muscle player's ears defeated way up. Accents are the issue in this story, and also the time looping is used, that is also weak for Japanese skills. If I remove these problems, the story is guaranteed at a certain level as it is an awarded comic: I mean, Japanese ones could be still fishy for the quality, but it is still much better to non-awarded ones. The critic says the drama omitted the historical considerations, but I like the drama to the comics and the animations, so no choice. The accents are important for this story, but this could be successful for the foreign runs, as the story is good, and as the drama it got to a certain levels, and recently few good drama appears in Netflix, so few rivals. You know, few Tokyo locals can speak this accent but these traditional players, so people wouldn't mind nowadays, like Bostonians. But the Rakugo stories, that is even few knows the stories, but it contains a lot, the famous stories are almost all included. This is a good show.

In the middle of the episodes some players sound like kabuki accents but they roll into finally Asakusa accents and better players get exactly the accent of Kyotaro Yanagiya. But this is so far a good choice for ensemble effect

It is fun to listen to the real Tokyo accents by locally born actors and the younger ones include the modern accents that is caused by northern Kanto accents that real locals feel a bit offensive attitude from them. We really hardly ever heard anymore on the real accent, so the outsiders takes these accents from the sounds only so the language really changes.

Tokyo Poverty Girls

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35571556/

Only 6 episodes, but full of problems that simply caused by the one is born as a Japanese woman. This is based on the true stories written in the documentaries. For this hell Japan, if you're born as a women simply causes you to be in the hell. Especially if you are poor or born in the countryside, it doesn't matter if you're smart or not. For the statistics, Japan do have the deep income difference for the rich and the poor, getting widely, and the income between man and women are still there, much worse, almost the worst for the bigger economy countries.

The protagonist is a female journalist, who doesn't fight for the divorce settlement, and lives with her just divorced mother and her daughter. So she is also controlling her desire, simply doesn't order any dessert despite from other friends at tea time. She was asked by the female editor in chief, talking about her promotion, and is told that she has left and is back to the writing there. It should continue for several seasons. Japanese hate to show their male-dominated society and the problems caused by it. I would be happy for translate it. I am happy to do it. You see, Japan is hell for female who is smart and has to live in the countryside.

Tokyo Salad Bowl

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35435312/

So this is about the same city of City Hunter, full of people, from all over the world. This green hair detective, called Lettuce is working there. She found a Chinese translator just by occasion, and they got a buddy. He was an ex-cop, and lived Dalian, China since he was born up to 15.

First, the situation was expecting, but the Lettuce girl as a protagonist, and the comic origin drama, and the character seems Dojikko, that I hate the most. This is the most awful situation and I avoid but still this darn society thinks of the talented female as it. So I tried watching, and aside the easy character setting and full combo of the minority troubles, but the balance is excellent engough for the Japanese drama.

日本弁護士連合会：Statement Opposing the Government’s “Zero Illegal Foreign Residents Plan for the Safety and Security of People in Japan” That Goes

Japan is a rude country for the foreigners (often except the white-looking) , and recently, the life is tougher to the fluent speakers. I am happy to help people in my nature, but this doesn't work in Japan.

The stories seem to include many problems, that I might have watched in Korean dramas, but I have seen the foreign workers only at Pro Bono. By the way, at an episode, the younger boy in Soudain, appears and he was playing exellent here, too.

The theme is targeted well, and it tells Japan should change otherwise Japan will end. I checked about the comics, too, but I didn't like the style but despite the one for "Teach You a Lesson", it described quite mimicking, so in addition to the extreme hand swiping, I stopped reading.

And found the author wrote Kurosagi, black swindlers if I remember correctly that title, that I watched already in Netflix. And it was also I liked. I really need to check the Japanese author for detecting good quality.

Soudain / All of a Sudden

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36834996/

3 hours and 17 minuets. With two smarter ladies discuss about the difficulty of the capitalism, after they met at a sudden rain.

Belgian and Japanese actress won le prix d'interpretation feminine du Festival de Cannes. I don't know about the stereo type discussion, Belgian girls are smarter and looking good, for my statistics, and in French society, the girls should be recommended not to speak out their ideas; it is much better to Japanese, but it is still not so supportive atmosphere you'd feel. So, two Japanese and French females are talking about quite deep insights on the capitalism is a quite unique challenge. Ryusuke Hamaguchi is known to shoot the actors in flat speech. So this time he did to both speak in their language.

Remarkable actors are the supporting actors, especially Kodai Kurosaki, who apparently appears in Sins of Kujo, a bit similar taste character. Another is Kyozo Nagatsuka, the actor who can speak French fluently for the average Japanese. He gave a quite comprehensive acting in French, and looked much smarter. Another French actors are in diverse, and they're all good characters, sincerely they took the roles and they face on the social problems for each roles.

It runs like a nice fantasy in the realistic meaning, but still gave some hope to the world. I realized it is shoot in the southeast Paris immediately but apparently not in some places, so this was a bit gorgeous for the realistic life level. And it is read "Kyotamba" for Kyoto shooting at the end roll, and the house she lives is that I have seen already in several Netflix movies or dramas. It seems I am too much expecting this kind of level movies for anytime I want to watch, and it seems too cruel to the normal budget movie. This is a good movie, but I would ask the editing is needed for this film, if I could say something. Balance and driving is more preferable for this level. I'd edit more and Hamaguchi style dawn lights are more needed for European midsummer daylights, and change colors for difference to Japanese Kyoto countryside. The air of the places are different obviously. Why don't we see this kind of intellectual style movies, no budgets expected? Not bad for two women story, he proved. Si puo fare is related to the theater in the movie, played by the grandfather of the grandson.

Crazy, Stupid, Love

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1570728/

The scripts are yet not updated, so this is an old-style, but all the actors I like them, that's why I watched, even after I know that Steve Carell's speech about Ryan Gosling and I've been looking for watching it. The things are all black comedy, but smaller thing could happens to any family. I couldn't stop postponing for a couple of times, but I wouldn't watch 10 years ago on screen, and this is a good movie. You won't watch similar like this in the future. Even for the Hollywood movies. I'd expect the remake version in French or Nordic countries.

The American / Joika

I actually took lessons for a decade in ballet class, and I think I know the better dancer. This looks like a simply evil people around in the school, and she is lost in translation. It's OK for the script level, but not for the dancer levels. The dancers are not co-operated in a choreograph in the beginning, that can't be happen for the daily training except the protagonist. And we won't hurt in these ways. Too much blood for legs and knees. Although it is fun for the flexibility are the similar for the pupils. That is not so happening often, and it is good that (but not in balance for the plans) they didn't speak English often. Normally the male dancers are less competitive, so they aren't so good in the screens, but here, both levels are fun watching. It's OK for the suspense or psycho thriller for the foreigner to develop her talent alone outside of the country with poor support, in the full of jealous, but quite unrealistic. You should understand it from her scope. Why the title has changed?

Chamgyoyuk (True Education) / Get Schooled

Teach You A Lesson experience made me read the Naver comics for the first time. I avoid reading comics normally, and scrolling is a bit too muscle training, and it is like a kids picture book. The protagonist and his boss didn't look the same, and a bit different characters, but they really made good reborn characters. The drama team both staffs and actors did a good job, combined and made it renewal. Webtoon based dramas are normally I won't watch seriously and often I drop off, or rather my sleeps shuts out watching, but I liked the team working drama. Of course the original writers have maintained good quality throughout the comics. Some of the out-of-date topics could be there, as the normalization or global standard cannot push the numbers of fans in their domestic readers, so the drama simply covers it. I have seen this kind of change a lot for many books, and so it does. I mean, you need some domestic fans if the new talent should come out globally. I am not sure I will read all, but this is fun.

Fixer

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27830640/

Wow, this is an amazing drama, dark rotten politics in Japan is revealed. The actors are quite looking like a drama containing the 60s dirty energies, it is surprising that this kind of level the Japanese drama can reach. It is originally made in 2023, a long time ago, but the female prime minister appears, the fancy politicians and SNS tricks are introduced, and old politicians do rebate and never changes since the ancient modern world. The remarkable points are the actors do really good performance even for the smaller roles that is even taken by the lead actors as side kickers. This should be more famous as the Japanese drama. And I checked the aired in between is the fence, drama about Okinawa, the US Army related good drama. Dig more cable TV, then you might find more interesting darker society.

A Samurai in Time

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32277931/

In shrinking business or in the society of shrinking population, people are still taught to hope for the future. And this could be happy if you can do. But suppose if you are a time slipper, and your situation is totally off after the time tides are gone. I hope the translators should take his strong local accent for both time and the region. And the movie is now off taken especially the samurai star movies. He is luckily and naturally helped by the people in the contemporary world. The script works good, and the actors are local in Kyoto, and do the supporting staffs as well. It is fun to be discussed about the difference between the samurai real style and the movie production. Also, his reaction is really considerable, the small lines are full of points as the movie makers would listen to the historians would know.

The story evolution is also good, this is a good comedy, it seems the low budget movie as the interviews tells this kind of information a lot, but full of samurai movie respect, and gorgeous show.

Teach You a Lesson

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34809853/

This is a good drama. First I got to know that the popular (but not my favorite) actor declined and the younger Judge guy in Juvenile Judge Kim Mul-yeol took. And it really fits to him. The protagonist is allowed to get violent in school, exceed the normal teacher policies, and the schools have many problems caused by students, teachers and parents. He is sent to many schools and resolve the weird school problems. Basically he does an eye to an eye, and this is hilarious.

I think he really fits, and acts better than the declined actor for sure. And he luckily didn't have his famous role yet, so it should be his leading work. His chameleon style is good for this funny public servant, and here's also Lee Sung-Min plays his boss, who is not clear evil or not.

This drama tastes good, in this worst world ever. This is the best drama based on the comics, in my sense. Korean entertainment should confirm their power that they're good enough to choose actors not by the good-looking or popularity of the domestic reasons, but more your social problems should be cut and put into the drama with the powerful actors. This is a bonus drama, perhaps your unsatisfactory on educations will be smashed off with, those behaviors you would imagine that you are/were facing, perhaps not allowed in our real world.

Remarkably Bright Creatures

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33100314/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_accord_1_cdt_t_1

Sally Field is always taming the mysterious existence and here the octopus. She loves it, and she meets a young man, getting friends, and she now knows the real life of octopus and decides her fate. Then the ebb tide comes. Nice good story, though the solitude in the country side is also well described for the old lady. Of course she is good at this kind of role, but maybe you should find someone new, otherwise she has to take this all the time, and even I could expect the story once I have known she is starring and any creature comes up, and nothing new along with.

Sheep in the Box

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38551209/?ref_=fn_t_1

I must refer this movie is effected by After Yang by Kogonada and Perfect Days of Vim Wenders. The house and the situation is exactly the former, the greens the family likes is that the greens in the park of the latter. So I was guessing the story should be similar with, and it is.

He used le petit prince, and the line wasn't exactly I remember, maybe caused by the translations, and it looked suggestive on Koreeda movies theme: the family without biological bonds. At the monster, he chose a different script writer that erases of his selfish or the scenes that could be happening during the shootings that the big proposals were never done by the staff members, and it really went well, it was the best, but simply not my favorite one. I believe Koreeda is not the type that he insists something too much for others, but simply his surrounding people are too much coward to hold ones' opinions. I would change

If the kid reads about the lines of the box where the sheep is in, exactly that the little prince wanted, first I would choose the fox part and he wonders then he opens the beginning part and he discusses.

The intellectual unbalance on the humanoid and the real son is both obscure. I would summarize and start how the knowledge guided the character that both had.

The missing kids issues are not so well defined. If they claim in the story that 3000 humanoids exist in Japan, then they should rent a more modern robots are in the film, and how they could appear should be in the movie.

Throughout I would say, he could ask more people on non professional part and he should build more thicker plans with them.

We are All Trying Here #12

Finally, finally, finally. Families without blood bonds stand everywhere. People find the ones they really wish, and Eun-Ah finds her biological mother admits her via her daughter-in-law, and the poet brother found his poet again. Don-Man seems to finish his movie, of course including his lost times during the shots. Gyeong-se found his words for the emotion to him, and Hye-jin found her emotion to him. I wonder then how was that too positive young writer really have planned, but she was probably casted as the writer in her youth, as in the scenes people wished to produce more works. I think the balance was the best for the scenes as in a sequence, but after the perfect My Liberation Notes, this could be a good start for having new projects since on. Koo Kyo-Hwan is a good actor, who knows how he looks, and he does the best. And for me, Oh Jung-Se for the first time he is the normal (a bit too stalker-nature though) and natural character he played, and this is his best among all the dramas I saw him. Korean dramas give too extreme characters for the popular actors, or if the protagonist is chosen from the idles and one is crazy, all the surrounding characters are much crazier to the protagonist. This was not. Park Hae-joon for me is the first time he was playing, as I avoid watching the dramas that is expected to have love romance or ugly relationships on top, he was good to play the stubborn poet. Maybe he was Mr. Gu there. I think they could have defined how to use "the emotional watch", that was a good prop, never worked effectively. The extra dramas could be put about this, not the drinking times.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36732944/

I love to watch imdb shows 8.5, and this drama scratches the wounds you get from the daily life, and takes the dust off from your coat, and let you stand up and push you forward. Good drama. I liked the director's explanation on the interview, too. I hope to find his works as well.

Kylie

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt41993588/

She's been sexy, rock and pop girl. She's a cancer survivor, and I know her songs, she made hits for several decades. I've read her personal relationships, while I was away from my country, time by time, and the Australian entertainment would be a bit different from the ones I know, I thought, but it was wrong. Simply it is not chased by other gossip shows abroad. She's been in UK, and escaped to France. That's why her music is a bit Eurobeat, and EDM like. I can even sing, and many I didn't follow but I knew it via video clips on streets outside of my country where I was traveling around. She's a real dancer and diva, maybe the word of idle would be suitable to her. Especially I tried to remember coreograph for Can't get out of my head, and I love it. She's fought with her happenings in her life, and chased by the fate and the world wide media. She's been young and dynamite. She has an importance in her life, and didn't destroy herself with alcohol nor some other harmful habitats. I am so happy I can still enjoy her music for that skinny cat like voice. This documentary tells her life with her words honestly from her heart, and I like her than I used to be.

We are All Trying Here #11

This could be a getting a bit slower, or no meaningful scenes, like punching or drinking too much and doing some riots, is too long to get into the right range of TV show. I hoped more things could happen, or some related dramas of the characters happen, but it didn't happen. He could start to take a film and his niece is contacting, or the rival drama would be partially taking and the protagonist goes to watch, but perhaps the budget was too tight. And I am afraid this ends in sharp cuts and nothing will be left. Only 60 min to go!!
