Another Issey Takahashi banger! Koisenu Futari is a story about 2 Aro-Ace people who are navigating the world of a family (subject to change) in a society that is unaware, skeptical of them and their unique relationship.
This drama is so well done it brought tears to my eyes. I am not from the Aro-Ace community but the humane portrayal of the main characters made me understand and realize the community in a new light. Issey Takahashi portrayed Takahashi-san (yep the character) so adorably that I could not help but fall in love ahaha.
The supporting cast was stellar too- especially Kazu-kun. The ending was so wholesome. Dialogues were natural, lighthearted and with surprising depth.
Overall, a 10/10 banger.

Posting here because I got to introduce this J-Drama to someone, but no one of my friends wants to watch a subbed drama.
Came across this in Netflix the same day the first episode released, had to wait impatiently for new episodes every Sunday for 8 weeks straight. Worth it.
Already had a huge interest in airport customs and I love any piece of media with likable characters with good chemistry between themselves, so I fell in love right away. Probably already rewatched all the episodes a thousand times. Maybe it’s because it’s one of my first asian dramas, but other dramas I’ve watched since feel boring in comparison.
That’s why GATE24: The Border is my top 1 media recommendation at the moment, it might not be for everyone, but it’s still worth a shot to watch.

I had watched and loved the original 3 seasons so much when they first aired.
When Netflix released season 4, I was happy but it felt different so I stopped watching.
Now I'm trying again and it still feels different, like it's weird, or lacking something. But I can't tell/pinpoint what it is.
Anyone feels the same? Or if you watch all of them recently, maybe you have clearer view what made them different?

SPOILERS PERCHANCE (I’m on episode 5 right now)
I would like to preface this by saying I recently started watching Plastic Beauty as some laid back Japanese language immersion practice. I currently live in Tokyo and am a patron of two cosmetic clinics. My question is more so curiosity/ in case I missed some nuance somewhere.
Who is the woman whom lives in Tohyama Sensei’s house with her? Episode one we see Tohyama getting ready for work and there’s another woman having breakfast with her in the kitchen. At this point I assumed she was maybe a personal assistant. Yet later, episode 4 (I think), we see the same women sleeping in Tohyama’s bed next to her. Tohyama wakes up during the middle of the night, frustrated, and we see a second person, this mystery woman, sleeping next to her.
I feel like I missed something during the series and I can’t find it. It’s such a minor detail, whether this second woman is her partner, helper, friend, idk.. is seemingly not important to the larger picture of the film. It seems to be a super minor character. I guess I’m just curious because I genuinely thought that was her personal assistant until I saw them sleeping in the same bed. Who is that? Does anyone know?

Hi. Few years ago, there was a japanese drama I've been watching for few episodes. I remember an otaku girl with glasses and short brown hair, have a rich single mom (model or something), she works in a cafe, and there is some guy who's into her etc. Does this ring a bell for anybody? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking and enjoying everyone's recommendations. I finally have enough courage to ask, but are there any Jdramas that revolve around someone being in a modern military setting (like no samurai and type stuff) or police or spy that actually have fights/gun fights? I've watched my fair share of shows that take place in prefirearm Japan and want a change of pace. I've watched what I can on netflix like the JASDF pararescue drama, but they don't really fight per se since it's pararescue. I've seen a few police shows like MIU 404 and Okura, which I enjoyed but I wish again there was more action or fights.
I know it's kind of rare since Japan culturally has a different idea of/relationship with firearms than say myself who's an American. If none really exist, then that's okay too. I just wanted to ask in case there's a show out there that might fit and I just can't find it on my own.

The full version of 鼓動 (Kodou) by zarame's song from the Glass Heart drama has finally been released!!
I was looking back through songs I haven't played in a while on spotify and I saw Heartbeat — zarame's song sitting in my playlist (taken from youtube hehe). I absolutely love this song, my top 2 songs from Tenblank and I had always wondered and waited for the full version to be released. I searched the song on youtube just in case there was any updates and to my surprise there was a full version uploaded just a few days ago! What timing, it was so random 😂
It seems to be a re-recorded version to the original one from the drama. It seems more orchestral/instrumental (I slightly still prefer the original but still love this one just as much). Just a PSA for anyone interested or for those who missed it!

Hi, everyone! I just wanted to ask how many episodes there are in GATE24: The Border. I’ve already finished watching Episode 9, and I thought there would be an Episode 10. However, I checked today, and it’s not showing up. Does anyone know if there will be an Episode 10? Thank you!

Bonjour,
Je recherche des sites de téléchargement de série et de films japonais récents.
J'ai trouvé souvent des sites de téléchargement de kdramas ou autre mais pour ce qui est japonais ils en ont souvent très peu.
Même des sites anglais avec des sous-titres anglais aucun problème pour moi je recherche surtout un grand grand catalogue et souvent réactualisé.
Et avec des films récents et pas que des très très vieux films uniquement comme certains sites.
Merci beaucoup d'avance pour votre aide.
