Its here, yes its here finally I have now a copy of every programme, movie, single, CD, Photograph book that Yui Aragaki and I've never been to Japan neither can I speak Japanese, but I Don't Care!!! I love her performances... it'll never happen, but how about a dvd with a copy of every advert she's also worked with, am I sad or what, badly need a life, hey? lol

Great soundtrack. I often go to work on my computer. No matches. I also recommend watching the show.

This is a great follow-on possible of the series, the series keeps to the story generated from that of the first part pretty much, but what and who is brought in does add to the story very well, the two may be a little expensive, but honestly well worth it

I have been so interested in this story, ever since I saw it on YouTube, the actress: Keiko Kitagawa,whom I have a couple of her movies, but I intend to increase this number. Anyway I don't know how close to the individual's story the movie is, but yes the movie is very entertaining, but more so, its an education in a roundabout way, it shows so clearly just how strong a young lady Rie Saito is. I think that I can understand the negative feelings towards her working life, but to me in the movie she stays dressed, and doesn't break any laws, well not English one's anyway, regardless the movie yes was/is an education, but whether or not this interests you Hitsudan Hostess, is a bloody good movie with a splendid cast, Ms Kitagawa isn't the only good member, her mom was also brilliant to name just two

I just love this movie, all 45 minutes of it lol I am not too sure about the poof's get up after graduation, but if you wanna look like an utter dick - head then so be it. The two leading cast member's I've never seen before and I've seen quite a few High School movies now, but regardless I do still rank them quite highly, but forget about the poof, he's better off dead and buried somewhere far away and forgotten about

Yes I realise really intended for kids, but I haven't, can't have kids so can I be a big one hahaha, and this actually has English Subs, I realise that it is quite expensive, but I received the first set last week...I've just ordered the 2nd set before writing this review, I thin this says it al lol

Just like series and other special complete stupid intelligence again the right wins Yui Aragaki is her usual perfect self, only reason really why dvd purchased, but I never told you that!!!

So glad I splashed out and bought the whole set of Itazura na Kiss Season 2 Blue Ray discs ( Box 1 and 2) , which included all the Directors' cuts ( extra 10-15 minutes per episode)! Re watching the extended episodes again is like rediscovering new perspectives on this wonderfully-told love story. For me, Miki Honoka is THE definitive Kotoko Aihara...

Greatest drama soundtrack ever ! I was actually a great fan of that wonderful drama and, when I watched it, I was amazed by its music. Now that I listened the CD, I'm even more amazed (if it's possible). The soundtrack is really beautiful, really rythmic sometimes (you can feel the emotions of the characters just by listening), sometimes it's really sad, almost heartbreaking, especially when you remember the tragical story. Just too bad there were no picture in the Cd, to remind you the drama. It would have been great.

The Ouran Host Club series is a must have for any drama fan. The series comes packaged in a beautiful box with plastic slip cover, along with a photo book and several post cards. Open the cover and you will be presented with cardboard doors (yes, cardboard doors) that open into the wonder of this amazing series (the DVDs) Not to mention the special features included in the discs, cast interviews, behind the scenes, press conferences and even more! Buy Ouran Highschool Host Club on DVD now, starring Kawaguchi Haruna(Yankee-kun to Megane-chan(TBS, 2010) and Yamamoto Yusuke (Tumbling(TBS, 2010), get it now and it will have you screaming "HARUHI!!" Series: 7/10 Cast: 7.5/10 Story: 7/10 Freshness: 5/10 DVD: 8/10 Overall: 7.1/10 [2.0 = 1 (Poor Release] [3.5 = 2 (Below Average] [5.0 = 3 (Very good] [7.0 = 4 (Excellent] [9.0 = 5 (Masterpiece] Let's sit tight for the Ouran Movie :)

A great collection of the most wonderful romantic comedy ever...anywhere. I can speak Japanese, so I can understand it in the original...but, I only wish that there were English subs for this, so that those who don't know Japanese can also enjoy it, without resorting to a bad fansub.

I have just finished watching this series and I have to say its one of the best J-Dramas I have seen!!! It follows Daichi, a delinquent or a ?Yankee? who is a social outcast in his school due to his seemingly violent behaviour. Invisible, alone and unmotivated, he coasts through school reading manga?s on the school?s roof?. That is until Hana transfers to Windy High. Geeky and over eager, Hana tries to get Daichi involved in the joy of school life, but she hides her own violent secret. Hana is not just the class nerd but is Hurricane Ada, the most powerful and feared of all Yankees!!! The series then follows the two as they try to find normality, but ultimately understand who they truly are as people. This series is incredibly well written, its funny yet has a series message about labelling people and making assumptions about others. So although there are moments of side-splitting humour (the ghost house scene in ep 9 especially) there is always a serious theme of identity and trying to find out who you really are. The acting is FANTASTIC, Narimiya Hiroki and Naka Riisa are superbly cast as the two leads and their on-screen chemistry makes the series as joy to watch. As for the ending? you will be screaming for more!!!! Witty, thought provoking and just plain crazy, Yankee Kun to Megane Chan is the best J drama of the year!

Okay so I watched the film verison of Koizora and loved it ..... I watched the drama series and I was crying for a whole evening afterwards!!!! This 6 episode adaption is truely sensational.... not only is the storyline more indepth due to the longer running time than the film but the actors wonderfully portray the characters and bring them to life in a way that far transgresses the film. Seto Koji is heartbreaking as Hiro and is easily one of the best actors in Japan today. What is so beautiful about this film is the moments of silence, when the emotion and relationship between Mika and Hiro is expressed not through words but through their looks and gestures. Indeed many things are incredibly similliar to the film such as types of shots and lines of dialogue but for me the drama series went that extra mile in emotion department.... I watched the film and sniffed back a few tears..... I watched this series and ended up with black mascara streaks down my face and neck..... in the last episode I think I wasn't crying for only about 3 minutes of it!!! The one thing to mention is that this drama is a slightly cleaner version..... i.e there is less violence, less sex (not that there is bearly any in the film.... but they do did 'it' a extra time in the film) and the attack on Mika by a gang of boys is far less serious than it is in the film. This did detract somewhat for the intensity of the story but on the plus side it has made it more suitable for a younger audience. If you loved the film this series will break your heart, if you haven't seen either it's a fantastic place to enter into the Koizora world!!!! P.S I know there has been a lot of negativity towards this series and indeed the film due to its weak portrayal of women but frankly if you don't take either too seriously and just enjoy theme as a melodramas I think you will be pleasently contented by them!

Well I have just finished watching this first and it is absolutely fantastic!!!! 2010 certainly seems to be the comeback year for J-Drama what with the equally brilliant yankee-kun to megame chan also being shown. Tumbling is certainly another drama that deserves recognition. In the vein of Waterboys and Swing Girls it follows a somewhat unsuccessful group of Male Rhythmic Gymnastic competitors. Although they never have enougth members to enter any competitions and they are always battling against the girl's team for practice space their luck suddenly changes when Yankee Wataru joins the team. A combination of trying to impress the new girl and trying not to displease his mom Wataru half-heartly attempts the srict regime of the tumbling profession.... or tamborine as he likes to call it!!!!! But after witnessing the determination of the team's leader Yuta (played by heartthrob Seto Koji from the Koizora TV Drama) he soon puts his heart into the perfomance not for the sake of the girl or his mother but for himself. Of course in the first episode good intentions don't always mean high points!!!! Even after one episode I was immediately gripped by the storyline and the characters. There are so many dramas about Yankee's trying to chnage their ways but this one has a edge for me. Fantatsically acted and already showing some amazing tumbling routines I can't wait to watch the rest!!!So if you are a Waterboys fan/ Stick It, gymnast enthusist or just enjoy the thrill of Japanese boys stretching and sweating Tumbling is for you!!!!

Well I have now watched the entire series of Tumbling and I have only one word to describe it?. Stunning!!! Each episode focuses on a different character, and the personal struggles they face be it poverty, death, homosexuality, friendships, family? to name but a few. As such the series, despite having fantastic comedy moments, manages to tackle to serious issues that affect young adults? not only in modern Japan but on a global scale. In fact I don?t think there was a single episode that didn?t have me in fits of laughter at one moment and the floods of tears the next!!!! The acting (particularly from Yusuke Yamamoto and Seto Koji) is outstanding and is far above the standard you may expect from TV. And you can really feel that this group of actors had a strong bond that is so evident on screen. Considering that none of the leads are professional gymnasts the ?tumbling? itself was breathtaking. Okay so possibly there may have been a few stunt doubles? I?m not sure? but it looks as though it is the actors actually doing the routine and if this is true I take my hat off to them!!!! The one thing to note is that I watched this series online, so as to the specifics of this box set I can?t say anything?.. it?s just a pity that eng subs aren?t included as I definitely would have brought a copy!!! To date Tumbling is my all time favourite Japanese drama, the storyline and acting puts it miles ahead other dramas I have watched recently. My only complaint?.. I wish it was longer!!!!

I not getting bored from this drama my favorite is Ainosuke <3 everything is great in this drama also I can see Yuma and Shintaro <3

Love this drama ... its the best of the dramas that Yamapi act in it .. love you YAMAPI .. ^,^ ,,, ^,^ ...
