Has anyone started watching this drama? What did you think of the first episode?

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Raws being posted on D-addicts? I would be very thankful because this is one of the dramas that I've been looking forward to seeing. (I like sports dramas -- and I would love to see another Suzuki Anne drama)

By the way, someone mentioned something about getting raws from another source (other than d-addicts). Where would we get those? Thanks in advance.

On Edit: The first episode is up on d-addicts. ^_^ Thanks to junkboy77.

yeah i watch this drama. i kinda like it

You know about the news of Uchi thought right?
he's gonna be replaced I think, and the episodes from 3 and beyond that they already filmed, will be edited to show less of him as possible. If you want the news I can post it.


I haven't started watching this yet, but I want to..

yeah i know. Taguchi (KAT-TUN) will replace

Hey guys I am a little baffled by this. Isit ganbatte or gambatte? I see both everywhere and it is confusing me Which is the accurate spelling?

When romanizing, before certain letters (example 'b' or 'p') the 'n' is changed to 'm'. But it is the same �� 'n' character in hiragana.

For those who have been following the series, what do you think of the replacement for Uchi Hiroki?

I think the Kattun guy gives a different kind of persona for Saburo, but he still pulls it off pretty well. (though he seems to all of a sudden become very outgoing)

I see...so it doesn't make a difference whether we type it as n or m.

I think Junno acts pretty well and I agree with you that his character suddenly becomes so outgoing! But one thing I noticed is that Junno cannot pull off Uchi's cold and smooth kinda look and behaviour. Only Uchi can be the ice king. That's just my opinion.

Yeah, Junno isn't able to pull that off very well. I just watched the special and ... they redid the first episode scene where Etsuko meets Saburo. Hmmm.. that part was certainly lacking in some respects in comparison to Uchi Hiroki's acting.

As for people who may be frustrated by the fact that Uchi Hiroki is cut off after the second episode -- I would still recommend watching this drama. Junno still does a pretty good job and I think he has a bit more chemistry with Suzuki Anne's character.

I can't wait to see next week's episode!

SPOILER

The boy's crew team finds out that Sekino likes Etsuko - and Etsuko's friend confesses to Etsuko that she has a crush on Sekino. =D[/i]

This series is not being broadcasted in the US. It's on FujiTV in Japan (I'm getting these episodes by going to www.d-addicts.com) However, the versions that I'm watching are not English-subbed, except for 1 and 2.

The meaning of the title is: "Give It Your All" or "Give It Your Best". .etc.

Fun there is a GI thread already!!!!

The boy's crew team finds out that Sekino likes Etsuko - and Etsuko's friend confesses to Etsuko that she has a crush on Sekino.

OMG!!!They found out Sekki/Boo likes Etsuko!!!!Waaahhhhhhh so exicted for that ep!!!Coz like in the ep 3 in the fireworks scene i can sense that Sekino is getting jealous already because of Saburo!

Both Uchi & Junno portrays Saburo in different ways but both did a good job!


Donna8157:They also reshoot the first ep with Junno?Coz i didn't dl the special yet!I think i have to dl it too!

So the transition from Uchi to Junnosuke is good, or bad???

I still haven't been able to get it, the place I rent from hasn't gotten it in yet, or someone has already rented it...well I'll have to try again next week, right now I have to prepare for a trip to CA...
