Mmmh. Honestly in this season there isn't any drama that I'm really waiting for... I'm writing only the few dramas that caught my attention and I'll try their first episodes, but I'm not thrilled about anything this time :/

I'm a bit sorry for Yasu, Tama chan and Gaya's dramas, but Yasu's one seems too boring, and the other two... I'm really not interestedand there are Juniors everywhere.
Summer Nude
![summer nude]( "summer nude")
trailer
Date: From 9.00 p.m. Mondays, 8 July 2013
Station: Fuji TV
Cast: Yamashita Tomohisa, Toda Erika, Karina, Nagasawa Masami, Katsuji Ryo, Kubota Masataka, Sato Shori, Yamamoto Mizuki, Chiba Yudai, Nakajo Ayami, Hashimoto Nanami, Takahashi Katsunori, Itaya Yuka
Synopsis: Mikuriya Asahi (Yamashita Tomohisa) is a photographer who works at a small photo studio in a seaside town. He used to dream of becoming famous as a professional photographer but is now a cameraman only roped in for local wedding ceremonies and school functions. Asahi has not got over his ex-girlfriend Kasumi (Nagasawa Masami) who suddenly left him without a reason three years ago and continues to wait for her even now. One day, Chiyohara Natsuki (Karina) shows up in front of Asahi. Natsuki is a manager at a popular Italian restaurant in Tokyo. Asahi happens to witness the moment when Natsuki’s beloved fiance Kota (Fukushi Seiji) leaves her at their wedding and even captures that crucial instant on film. Their acquaintance unfortunately starts off on the worst possible footing. And a broken-hearted Natsuki ends up spending this summer in the seaside town where Asahi lives. She uses her background as a professional chef to look after Aoyama, a seaside shop which is run by the wife of Asahi’s senior Shimojima Kenji (Takahashi Katsunori). Although Asahi and Natsuki met in the worst way, the two hurt souls are quickly brought closer. Then there is Asahi’s high school junior Taniyama Hanae (Toda Erika). The two of them have had an inseparable relationship since high school and are usually able to speak their mind with each other. Although Hanae is closest to Asahi and has always loved him, he takes no notice of her. While Hanae understands that he is still waiting for his ex-girlfriend, she only has eyes for him. Hanae’s feelings are painfully one-sided and cannot trump his old love...
Why: I'm always so scared when it comes to Yamapi's dramas, because I never know what to expect from them (and from his acting). You know I don't like him as an actor, and in this drama there's Toda Erika too, who definitely isn't my fave female actress. Furthermore, there will be a cameo (I HOPE IT'S ONLY A CAMEO BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND HER) of Nagasawa Masami. So why do I wanto to watch it??? Uhm. I liked the trailer, and, honestly, the story seems ok. I hope it will be a nice love drama! *crosses fingers*
Yamada-kun to Shichinin no Majo
![yamada kun]( "yamada kun")
Date: From 11.10 p.m., Saturdays, 10 August 2013

The two of them are able switch at will with a “kiss”. But before long, the existence of witches whose special powers are activated with a kiss comes to light, and Yamada starts searching the school for them.

Gekiryuu ~ Watashi o Oboeteimasuka?
![gekiryuu]( "gekiryuu")
Date: From 10.00 p.m., Tuesdays, 25 June 2013
Station: NHK
Cast: Tanaka Rena, Kiritani Kenta, Tomosaka Rie, Kuninaka Ryoko, Yamamoto Koji
Synopsis: An email message from a girl who had gone missing on a school excursion 20 years ago leads five former classmates to meet again and get embroiled in a baffling incident: 35-year-old Misumi Keiko (Tanaka Rena), an editor who was suddenly laid off from the literary department of the publishing company where she works; Midohara Takako (Kuninaka Ryoko), once adored by guys when she was a junior high school student and now a housewife involved in sex for money; Akiyoshi Miya (Tomosaka Rie), a musician facing a setback; Higashihagi Koji (Kiritani Kenta) who has become a detective but is content with being a sergeant forever; and Sabashima Yutaka (Yamamoto Koji), a divorced bank employee.
Why: the synopsis is intriguing and I think it could be good. I think I know only Kenta from the cast, and we all know he's terribly good, so I think the other actors will be good too.
Saito san 2
![saito san2]( "saito san2")
Date: From 9.00 p.m., Saturdays, 13 July 2013
Station: NTV
Cast: Mizuki Arisa, Kiritani Mirei, Tanabe Seiichi, Seto Koji, Nekoze Tsubaki, Oto Takuma, Hashimoto Ryo, Tamamoto Fumito, Tanihata Kanato, Sakai Wakana, Matsuoka Mayu, Okayama Tomoki, Hayami Akari, Katsumura Masanobu, Minami Kaho
Synopsis: The righteous Saito Masako (Mizuki Arisa) boldly confronted those who ignored the rules of society regardless of who they were when her son Junichi was in kindergarten. Now Junichi is a fourth-grade elementary school student and the Saitos live in a new neighbourhood.
Why: I like Mizuki Arisa. And Seto Koji. But my main reason is obviously Mirei XD I was SO upset about Apoyan (I couldn't even finish the 1st episode!), so I hope this one will be nice! From the synopsis I don't think watching the 1st season is required... if not... well, I'll think about it later o.o
Hanzawa Naoki
![hanzawa naoki]( "hanzawa naoki")
trailer
Date: From 9.00 p.m., Sundays, 7 July 2013
Station: TBS
Cast: Sakai Masato, Ueto Aya, Oikawa Mitsuhiro, Kataoka Ainosuke, Takito Kenichi, Nakajima Yuto, Miyakawa Ichirota, Morita Junpei, Suda Kunihiro, Moro Morooka, Hida Yasuhito, Ukaji Takashi, Danmitsu, Akai Hidekazu, Yamazaki Naoko, Ishiguro Hideo, Nagaoka Tasuku, Oka Ayumi, Ishimaru Kanji, Kitaoji Kinya (guest star), Kagawa Teruyuki
Synopsis: The unconventional Hanzawa Naoki (Sakai Masato) joined Tokyo Chuo Bank during the heady bubble era. It was said that if one entered a bank, he would be set for life and bank employees were the elite. The head of the Loans Division of the Osaka Nishi branch, Hanzawa is half-forced to follow the instructions of branch manager Asano Tadasu (Ishimaru Kanji) and completes a 500 million yen financing agreement with Nishi Osaka Steel. Furthermore, it is an unsecured loan. However, the seemingly healthy company instead has an enormous debt. It is discovered that the accounts were rigged to hide this. Three months after the loan, Nishi Osaka Steel abruptly goes belly up. As a result, Hanzawa and the others are cheated of 500 million yen. Obsessed with advancing his career, Asano schemes to pin all the blame on Hanzawa. However, Hanzawa, who has been summoned to the head office for an internal probe regarding the fiasco, rejects this outright and vows to recover the 500 million yen. This is because it is the only way for him to survive as a banker...
Why: it seems a bit too heavy/boring for me, honestly. But I like Sakai Masato so much that I'll try the first episode.
