Fujitani Wakaba is in high school. she has always been fascinating with cheerleading after having grew up seeing the JETS, a Japanese cheerleading team, winning the championship in America.
Yes another Kento Yamazaki drama and Rhyoma Takeuchi as well.
Watch this space. This will be a weekend viewing!
It started pretty interesting. Koichi Miyazawa is a fourth generation owner of a tabi shoes manufacturing company, which has a 100 years history.
The company used to have billions of yens in revenue and employed 200. But now there were only 20 people using antiquated machineries, which breakdown all the time.
Their bank balance was not very healthy. Their bank manager advised Koichi to restructure the company by laying off some of the staff.
But everyone was an integral part of the company.
Their first bank manager was friendly and suggested that perhaps aside from the tabi, they should create another product to save the company.
After the success of Good Morning Call 2, I wanted to see Fukuhara Haruka again in another drama and thankfully she is starring in a drama as the Koe Girl.
The story is about Kikuchi Makoto, a bright girl, who had been recruited to train as a voice actress. The training will have its many downs and later ups.
Episode 1
Makoto is in her last year of high school and yet does not know what do or study in college.
However she has a knack of getting people to listen due to her fluency and persuasive speaking as she found out whenever she helps out her mother who’s a greengrocer.
During one of her sales talk, Oshima Yuichiro, a manager for a talent agency spied her and subsequently scouted her to train as a voice actress.
This Monday offering is called Bloody Monday and rather bloody exciting to watch.
It is based on a manga written by Ryu Ryumon.
It centres around a second year high school boy called Fujimaru, who is ace hacker. He can hacked into anything including the secret Russian files. His code name is Falcon.
But for the last two years he has retired from his illegal activities as his father works for ThirdI, some sort of MI5.
Japan had information that something cataclysmic form of terrorism is about to happen. They have therefore recruited Fujimaru for his IT expertise and find out about this which is Russian in origin.
What the Falcon found was a short video of a church Christmas service, where the congregations started to feel unwell and develop nose bleeds, sores and breathlessness. Some piteously asked for help.
ThirdI then found out that an airborne virus will be released, which will kill most of the population and will remove Japan from the map.
The cat and mouse chase was pretty thrilling.
It was found later that the leader of the terrorists, in which Ryunosuke Tagaki is one, is J.
J is a math genius, who was a former professor.
He found it easy to recruit new members because of a very tantalising hook that he applies.
To join the group is becoming like God.
Otaya Kujo, Fujimaru’s best friend, explained that becoming God is doing whatever you like.
With the virus killing 90 per cent of the population the chosen 10 per cent remaining can control the resources and do what ever they want.
So this Bloody Monday is actually about population explosion control.
I recommend this highly. It is intelligent and a lot of action.
Plus a big bonus of having Haruma, Takeru and Hiroki in one drama.
