Coin Locker Monogatari [コインロッカー物語]
Rating: 9/10 (Watched)
First off, the high rating that I gave for this drama takes into consideration that it's not a high-profile work (i.e. not Ryusei no Kizuna, Last Friends, etc.). For a short, 4-episode series, it's a reasonably good production, and while the plot linking the episodes isn't very convincing or well, existing...the story within each episode is quite good and sometimes inspirational.
Other than that, the theme song is nice and quite catchy. I also really liked the female lead, Kojima Haruna, whom I knew of from before. The role fits her very well, and lets her show off her witty side with her smart comebacks (and her long legs XD). Her lines have a nice rhythm, which helps carry the story forward. | Densha Otoko [電車男]

If I were to choose, this drama would be amongst one of the few that I would consider my #1 choice. The plot's very nice, and it takes a look at a lot of different problems in society. What I like the most is how it considers love - both the different kinds that people are searching for, and the different ways of expressing it.
Above all, the actors have done a very good job of carrying the message home to the audience. I wasn't particularly impressed with the main female lead, but Ueno Juri's performance was spectacular!! She completely immersed herself into the drama, and acts completely different from normal. I would say that her acting is what makes me love this drama so much. <3 |

The drama overall was quite well done, but there were some bits that put me off. There were some parts that are actually quite commonplace, everyday events, but the drama made them seem mysterious and fantastical for no reason at all, which mystified me.
The other thing that I didn't like much was the actors. Just a small note, but I thought the main female character was a bit too perky and persistent. The main male lead, the butler, was very charming though. =D The thing that REALLY bugged me though, was that Satou Takeru, who played as Super Butler's little brother, looked really badly groomed. And it wasn't even intentional. -_-; I saw him before in Bloody Monday, and he looked a lot better then. In this drama, there's some scenes where he just manages to look 2D, and then sometimes his hair's all weird. >_> No offense to him, but I think that the staff for the drama could have cleaned him up better. |

I started watching this drama because it had an interesting title, and it turned it out to be a very pleasant surprise. While the incessant fanservice shots put me off a bit, the story is really very amazing. The drama manages to communicate the power of the 3 main characters' dreams, and so much so that after watching this drama, I looked up the 3 leads and am now a firmly established fan of AKB48, the idol group they belong to. XD
I think that a good portion of the feelings that they manage to convey has to do with their real-life struggles as idols, and it really shows. This show is definitely worth watching (even if fan service makes you go like ugggghhhh XDD). | Ningen no Shoumei [人間の証明]

Rating: 10/10 (Watched)
The plot has a very nice combination of touching moments and comedy. Just when you're starting to feel stressed by all the suspense and mystery, the actors act a bit cute and funny to lighten the mood.
I've heard that the drama's much lighter than the book, which does not have any comedy at all, so I think the director and screenplay writer have done a very good job with this drama. The actors are also quite convincing. | Samurai High School [サムライ・ハイスクール]
