>>47084894Watabe is finally appearing on a non-local tv show after his return from his multipurpose toilet affairs scandal. https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2331663/full/
>>47084937>TOKYO MXIt's not much better than Chiba TV imho.
Whatever happened to the blog that had a synopsis and other info for upcoming seasonal dramas?
>>47087643Since they've been at it for years without breaks, expect the worse after this sudden halt.
>>47087643It hasn't been updated for a while. Try using this instead for the meantime.https://mydramalist.com/search?adv=titles&ty=68&co=1&re=1890,2024&st=2&so=date
finally hit 10k bp on avistaz. Should I get the 250gb upload now or wait for something? idk if they ever do discounts or if I could use those bp on something better.
>>47091093Might as well use them, I don't think they do Bonus Point discounts often (or ever). The only other useful thing Bonus Points allows for is voting for subtitles.
sorry i haven't been following but whats the /jp/ approved show of the season?

if you could put it into words as a viewer, why is JP media so obsessed with highschool as an environment/setting? so much anime, manga, dramas, all dedicated to highschool students, nearly every variety show has segments with celebs returning to highschool or acting out things set in classrooms. is it a nationwide nostalgia? are these years revered as vital to each citizen's nationality or individuality? as an anon from europe it strikes me as remarkable that nearly all of their media at some point ends up back in a highschool. i know exactly what JP highschools look, sound and feel like as a result despite never having set foot in one.
>>47106368They're also obsessed with whatever's popular with high school girls in particular.
>>47106368Isn't middle and highschool your best period of your live ever? At least that what i fell growing up in Asia. Friends, vacations, festivals, night camps, playing vidyas, watching anime, etc. Everything was so fun and genuine.
>>47105474I was born on the very same day as Hashimoto
>>47106368>>47107278I think that's it in the case of Japan. It's usually the most stress free and light hearted time of their lives before being thrown into the soul crushing abyss that is the Japanese work force for the remainder of their lives.
>>46762894It's subbed now.
>>47109645these guys all look annoying as fuck
>>47107278>>47107593It's a common sentiment in east asian countries.

>>47114406>Seems like an extremely *angsty* movie though.Fixed.
>>47114466Right, how stupid of me.
>>47114406Good pick, it's a masterpiece. I recommend watching Iwai Shunji's entire body of work, too.
>>47114522I second this. Picnic, Swallowtail Butterfly, A Bride for Rip Van Winkle. He made some of the greatest Japanese movies I've ever watched.

>>47119979>>47120322
>>47112351>>47120265I remember years ago on one of Takeshi's variety shows, he said about the floods of tourists coming to Japan that they're nuisance due to over-tourism, and that he doesn't want to see Japan's culture, such as the downtown areas or shrines or whatnot, damaged by the influx of short-term tourists. He then commented about Japan's aging population saying that as someone who has experience interacting with other cultures and countries, he thinks Japan has its own way of fixing problems, but he doesn't think that internationalization is a good thing.>>47120322No. I watched it raw. From the ones I posted, only Kyrie is unsubbed.
>>47120331Facts.>>47120429>only Kyrie is unsubbed.Bummer. That's the only movie I'm interested in.
>>47120429He's not wrong. Japan should vet people visiting their country. Separate the anime tourists from people who actually respect the place.

>>47123143Putting Kamaitachi as the leads was a mistake. No matter how long and active they are on tv, these two aren't suited to act like big name senpai geinins who tsukkomi their kouhais.

>>47129501Okano vs Yamazoe should've been the final, props to Komiya though. There's such a huge gap between a gambler and a 'layman'. Who else could possible make for a good challenger? The other gambling geinins like Mogura and Hiccorohee?
>>47130361Thank you based Netflix-sama for all the good shit. Another good year for dramas thanks to them.
>>47125139OOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIiiiiiiiii
>>47130361they look like siblings
>>47130361> The story is based on an actual court case in which a former female student who broke the school rules prohibiting male-female dating and was expelled, sued the school.
>>47129501This setsu is well-designed. They really should turn it into a year end SP but in a grander scale. >>47130294>Who else could possible make for a good challenger?The Mummy's Sakai and Shimofuri's Soshina.

>>47130999I love rural horror
>>47130999The original manga is a masterpiece by Iwaaki Hitoshi, so they can never go wrong with his adaptation.
>>47114522>>47114574rainbow song is his best movie and he didn't even direct that
>>47120331>somehow is racist that japanese media doesn't have english subtitles on japanese platformsmeh
>>47123143Chidori should have been the mains. And where are Saraba Seishun and Chocoplan?
>>47134917Saraba is too based for TVs. They are the embodiment of what Japs actually want from their variety shows but can't because "modern" moral value.
>>47119979>Hokage (2023) by Tsukamoto ShinyaThanks for recommending this incredible movie, brutal story to say the least. Shuri is an amazing actress.
何これ、全然可愛いくないよ！
BLACK JACKhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm-z_JL4XTk
>>47137072Glad you liked it. Hokage felt like it's the spiritual sequel to Fires on the Plain, and I wouldn't be surprised if it really is. In his Fires on the Plain documentary, Tsukamoto showed just how the war theme meant to him, so much that even his early-to-mid films, by his own personal interpretations, were related to the war. He said the final scene of Vital was like the beginning of Fires on the Plain, where the protagonist somehow becomes the soldier. The end of Fires on the Plain sees the protagonist finally returns home to Japan, which starts the postwar life, and that's where Hokage comes. As you said, it's really brutal, and Tsukamoto, as shown in the Fires on the Plain documentary, studied WWII extensively by interviewing former soldiers and going all the way to the Philippines, collecting dead soldiers' remains, so the the psychological tolls that came with the horrors of the war shown in Hokage were very realistic. The first half was filled with Tsukamoto's singular artistic voice - his trademark command of mood through visual language. It was incredibly haunting. One thing I particularly liked was the nameless main characters, it was just like in his early work Tetsuo.
>>47137256discount komatsu nana?
>>47137256Sometani Shota made the transition?
Did they axe Degashira after only one show?That truck probably wasn't cheap to build.

Kitano's next film (untitled for now) is being made for Amazon MGM Studios, and it will be starring him. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/4e949a5aa556cb7f335cbde76db9d670d1c2474dIt's sad seeing him graduating from his longtime gigs in variety shows like Unbelievable in March, but on the other hand, he's taking this opportunity to filmmaking and writing novels so there's still more Takeshi content to come outside tv.
>>47143095>is being madeFucking based. He’s becoming the Akira Kurosawa of our generation.
>>47109771Well yeah, they're playing teenage delinquents.

Anyone know where I can watch Nihon Touitsu?
>>47162768Been looking for it for a long time, did again this month, but to no avail.
>>47162768Hokkaido arc (10 episodes) is in AvistaZ, but that's all. For a movie/drama series that has fuckloads of entries since 2013, it's not enough to just watch an arc from 2022.
>>47162768>>47162897>>47162921its on jptv but seedless and ofc the japanese NF
>>47162897>>47162921Ah, I saw that! Sadly, it doesn't have English subtitles and my Japanese is pretty weak. Thanks for helping though!>>47164132>jptvIs this like AvistaZ?
>>47164325jptv.club
any despair inducing movie like nobody knows?
I thought about using AvistaZ, does it have a lot of 70 and 80 stuff?
>>47165049An ocean of them. Uploaded almost daily.

What is the consensus on Vivant? I just saw it was on netflix and wondering if its good or not. Why is a lot of it taking place in the Arab desert?
>>47165237yes, she acted so good here
>>47165585VIVANT was good, but too ambitious for its own good. >Arab desert?It was in Mongol, not an Arab country.
>>47165605LOL sorry, I just saw an Arab headdress in one of the thumbnails on Netflix that's why I said Arab, also I remember watching the trailer a few months ago

>>47165585As a casual drama watcher who only watches the most popular dramas with the Japanese citizens every season, it was good. I enjoyed reading theories or discussing them here.
Just watched this and I was wondering if the practices of enjo kosai and teenage prostitution are popular in Japan.
>>47165049I signed up a month or two ago. Absolutely amazing site. People are very kind and helpful, too.Has everything you could possibly want.
>>47169893I want to read this novel, but also want to watch its live-action adaptation
>>47165220The second season got rid of her, and replaced her with someone smart who bends rules.It was glorious.The films were the best part, though, and the assistants were hardly in them.
when's matsumoto getting unbanned? he didn't fuck up THAT badly and is one of the best known people in japan
>>47172021He's not really banned, he himself is refraining from working to focus on the trial.

>>47176700They’re still milking it?
I'm looking for a Japanese film my roommate showed me in like 2011 or so.I think it's from the 2000's.It's kinda quirky.There is a young women, who is kinda quirky, not a diva or something, who I think lives with her mother? Maybe just an older woman.She meets a guy who is punk, they hang out for some reason, but I don't remember if they become romantically involved.There is an older man who I think works as a mechanic or something who makes fun of the punk guy by calling him punk.I think there is a cat?Barely remember the point of the movie even.I know this is not much to go on, but if you know the film I think it should be enough.If you can figure out this movie you are a god.
Good dramas and movies about an abusive teachers?
>>47184064I can fix her
Should have been easily guessed after she removed the mouth part of the mask.
>>47185882I thought it was Ano
I thought red mask was Aa~ Shiraki all along.They should have Kawashima be on every show from now on, he's as good as Matsumoto was and he's at TBS every day anyway.
>>47186110>I thought red mask was Aa~ Shiraki all along.I predicted her identity last year >>44625125>he's as good as Matsumoto was and he's at TBS every day anyway.Out of all the replacements we've had since Macchan's hiatus, he felt the most natural. Also, when Kunizaki said him shaving his right eyebrow was related to Downtown, alluding Macchan's absence, Kawashima replied that he wishes his eyebrow to grow out soon. I hope these hints mean he's coming back. I see many geinins mentioning him now more than before, like Kawashima on this Monday's Ravitto.

It is representative of the police & detective dramas of the 1980s.This TV series had started off in 1979 and continued until 1984.During the 5-year course of the show, a total of 236 episodes were filmed, with roughly 4,680 vehicles of all types being destroyed during the course of filming, 4.8 tons of explosives being used as well as close to 320 buildings destroyed.Surprisingly, no deaths were recorded, though there were six injured staff and crew members.The average viewer rating was at 14.5% in the Kanto Area.

>>47190310I know, but she's ugly so wearing a mask would be a good opportunity to appear on the show, maybe next time when this setsu returns.
>>47190507No, she brings nothing and is just cringe, I hope she never appears on the show again.
>>47190412Thanks, anon. Been waiting for it since it was just a rumour and am glad to hear that he's still got it.

>>47191127Nice. I hope that he still has it for that, too.
>>47186477I've been wondering for years about why there's no effort to fansub an important series like Seibu Keisatsu and I I finally figured it out. It's almost 300 episodes long, ain't nobody got the time for that much content.
>>47191920He also said late last year that he's planning another film set in the Bubble Economy period.

Confusing narrative but the punk attitude displayed by the bands and actors was kinda cool. I really can't imagine the punk movement taking roots in a egalitarian, homogenous, uniform, conformist, non rebelious society like in Japan.

>>47201692I've seen my share of punk films, but Burst City's explosive form captures more than any other narrative film of its kind. Punk rock as an exhausting, ferocious, political and social reform. Sure it's confusing, narratively and character-wise but that doesn't really matter for a film this explosive, wild and fun. it's a violent, erratic cyberpunk punk-rock musical about warring bands fighting yakuza and the police, just the right ingredients to make one gets absorbed by it. The long ass runtime with the unnecessary footage in the third act enhance the crazy punk fever dream that the film wants to show the viewer. Ishii Gakuryu created a revolutionary works with Crazy Thunder Road and Burst City, and many great creators like Otomo Katsuhiro, Sono Sion, Iwai Shunji, Miike Takashi, Kon Satoshi and Tsukamoto Shinya were influenced by his early works. He is extremely important to the Japanese indie, underground, and cyberpunk cinema scenes.
>>47201938I read somwhere William Gibson(The father of cyberpunk genre) was influenced by one of these two movies.

Hokage was good but why did it have to go so fast? Couldn't we have time to contemplate these characters being psycho retards since that is the point? Why only 90 minutes? I am starting to feel the Japanese are gathering hard to ADHD people now...
>>47106368o>target audience of most drama shit, since boomers are reading books or watchi vanity shows>biggest period in life of most asians since college is extended vacation and work life is boring as fuck>the japanese tend to treat teenagers as more mature individuals, unlike the west where it's basically childhood 2.0 with drugs
>>47209547>Why only 90 minutes?Probably budget and time constraints, which would explain the limited sets. Watch Tsukamoto's Fires on the Plain documentary, he explains how it is.
>>47119979>all of them are old-ass directors who hit big before the 2000's (besides Koreeda, who hit big in the 2000's)is japanese cinema just dead or something?
>>47209569There are younger auteurs born in the 70s and the 80s who apparently made great films, but I've neglected them, or perhaps been ignoring them for over a decade, never giving their works a watch out of an autistic reason. But I'm sure their works are fine given the reception, so if watch them if you want and see for yourself. Japanese cinema is not dead yet, but the amount of good filmmakers and films had a sharp decreases since the 2010s.
>>47209569tv is better
>>47209569Junta Yamaguchi's films (written by Makoto Ueda) are pretty good. Looking forward to when he does something large.
>>47209569What do good movies have to do with the directors’ ages? They could be 100 years old, but if they’re talented, they will make good movies.
>>47204336This website’s dwellers have the most horrendous taste in dramas I’ve ever seen. All it takes for a drama to receive these meme scores is to have young ikemen actors (or idols) or the story being about fagshit.
>>47210191NTQ but eventually these directors die and boom you have no one anymore.
