Wow! First one I've seen him in is what I'm watching now, Magerarenai Onna, which he is very good. Guess I'll have to check him out in some of the other ones...

I think she's talking about Koi ni Ochitara... It's not a really big role for Tanihara, but a good one.

And the entire drama is really good.

I think a lot of girls say he does look skinny in Love Shuffle.

Maybe you should send him food.
