"Unmei no Hito (TV Drama)" Original SoundtrackJapanese TV SeriesMasterpiece !
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.

Bokura ga Ita (We Were There) (First Part) Standard EditionJapanese MovieGreat Movie-Good Service NeoWing
Just finished watching this live action movie and it follows the original novel well with some parrts mashed in together as you can't fit everything into a 2 hr. movie but they did a really-really good. If you haven't read the original novel you might get lost in some places but nothing to worry about really. Do be aware though that this doesn't come with EN subtitles so a good knowledge of the language is a must. With my old account I actually bought a few items from here before and I must say NeoWing's service is top notch, it hasn't changed at all through the years. I do wish that they would increse the size of their search bar though. ^^

Assault Girls (English Audio) Special Collector's EditionJapanese Movie"Mostly" English Audio
This is a very good movie, although short. The special features are really nice, including both original short films. I would give the set five stars; but the "English Audio" stated in the details isn't entirely accurate. Most of the film is in English; but somewhat garbled by the masks the characters wear at times. During a key conversation in the movie, however, the characters switch to Japanese and there are no English subtitles. The included storyboard booklet does include English translations of most of the dialogue for the scene; but it isn't convenient to follow along in the book on your first viewing.

Making of Ougon wo Daite Tobe (Fly With The Gold)Japanese Movie (Making)Something worth waiting to watch!
I can't wait for the dvd to come out! I bought the making before watching the movie, but I can tell that the casts are great actors though the making & the teaser. Even the shooting was kind of intense, so looking forward to watch the complete movie.

Mr. Nice GuyMovieBest english-friendly version available
This release contains the purest, uncut version of this film. This version is better than New Line Cinema's for the following reasons: The original score is intact. The original undubbed English dialog, with everyone's Australian accents, is preserved. The original Hong-Kong version of the film opens with the scene where Giancarlo discovers that his lover, Tina, is a Demon spy. Then the scene switches to Jackie Chan's TV chef program. This helps give the movie a more "serious" tone. New Line Cinema switches back and forth to the construction site fight scene and the interrogation scene of Demon gang members by Giancarlo and his men. The uncut HK version shows both of these scenes one after another seamlessly. Also available in this version are bits and pieces of violence throughout and a few more scenes. The only draw back is that the picture for the uncut HK version is non-anamorphic and there are no English subtitles. The sound quality could also use some improvement.

Ten to Chi to - Ten no BandJapanese MovieBest historical war movie till date
I cannot believe this movie is made in the late 1980s, given the lack of computer graphics used. The sheer amount of logistics needed to coordinate massive troop and horses war game shows organization strength. Director Kadokawa skillfully captures the battlefield glory of the Warring Period in Japan. This movie also inspired Creative Assembly to make "Shogun 2: Total War" series.

Ashita no Joe (Tomorrow's Joe) Premium EditionJapanese MovieGet up, Joe!
There are many strange things that can lead to friendship, so why not boxing ... Well, watching the same breath is guaranteed. And not just fans of Yamashita. The film lacks the beautiful, dynamic staff that would be interested in and just the person seeking that would look new and nice to spend a couple hours in the evening. Although boxing is in the film leading role (just for Yamashita *laugh*) and you're always cheering, and jumping on the couch, looking as if the present confrontation between the real boxers. But the main emotion you get in the end, with the last frame to the last gesture of Rikishi and Joe grinned. When it comes to understanding that blows in the ring it's not a fight. It's like a dialogue in their own language in their own world for two. Then you spread out on the couch with a sense of understanding and complete satisfaction that the two hours you've spent your life for a reason.

Flunk Punk Rumble (Yankee-kun to Megane-chan) DVD BoxJapanese TV SeriesNarimiya Hiroki at his best!
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!

Koizora Standard EditionJapanese TV SeriesGrab a tissue!!!
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!

Tumbling Special EditionJapanese TV SeriesMen in Leotards ..... nice!!!
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!!!!

Tumbling Complete BoxJapanese TV SeriesYou'll laught, you'll cry!!!
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!!!!
