*pops out from nowhere*
I'm interested in so many things this season, that I hope half of them will be bad so I can drop them >.<
Also, I don't know what to do about Kdramas. I mean, for this post: some of them started at the end of february/beginning of march, so it was too early to put them in the winter post, but a bit late to put them here... I think I'll just write about them in this post.
What are you going to watch?

Yowakutemo Katemasu
![yowakutemo]( "yowakutemo")
Trailer
Date: From 9.00 p.m., Saturdays, 12th April 2014
Station: NTV
Scriptwriter: Kuramochi Yutaka (Nobunaga no Chef, 13-sai no Hello Work)
Cast: Ninomiya Kazunari, Fukushi Sota, Arimura Kasumi, Nakajima Yuto, Yamazaki Kento, Hongo Kanata, Mamiya Shotaro, Sakurada Dori, Suzuki Katsuhiro, Yanagi Shuntaro, Hiraoka Takuma, Yakushimaru Hiroko, Aso Kumiko, Mitsuishi Ken, Arakawa Yoshiyoshi, Kawahara Kazuhisa, Sasano Takashi, Ichikawa Ebizo
Synopsis: Tamo Aoshi (Ninomiya Kazunari) is a substitute teacher at his alma mater, a prestigious private high school which admits 200 students to Tokyo University every year. He becomes the coach of the weak baseball club which has only five members and has never won a game since it was established. The highest number of times they have thrown the ball back and forth without dropping it is nine. They prefer the outfield because the infield is scary. Furthermore, they practice on the grounds only three hours a week. At other times, they study, study and study. But they love baseball. Finding them interesting and strange creatures, Aoshi decides that he will give his charges victory, guided by his offbeat theory “triumph is possible even if weak”. And then they seriously set their sights on the annual nationwide high school baseball championship with their brand of preposterous baseball.
I'm so thrilled for this one!! They were saying it would have been something like Rookies and... well, if it's true it will be awesome because Rookies is great ;_; And I love stories about sport and young friendship, like Rookies and Tumbling ;_; Also, Nino usually picks drama I like, he never disappoints me. The cast seems good too, I hope the actors who'll play the students will be okay, since they're young and all; I know some of them tho, like the girl who played Matsuri in Shitsuren (she seems okay), Nakajima Yuto, who is growing as an actor, I quite liked him in the last things I saw, and Kanata Hongo, who is really good. I always tell myself to watch more of his works, because I like him a lot.
Anyway, there are all the premises for a good drama!
Shinigami kun
![shinigamikun]( "shinigamikun")
Trailer
Date: From 11.15 p.m., Fridays, 18th April 2014
Station: TV Asahi
Scriptwriter: Hashimoto Hiroshi (Sennyuu Tantei Tokage, Unmei no Hito, Juui Doolittle)
Cast: Ohno Satoshi, Kiritani Mirei, Suda Masaki, Matsushige Yutaka, Ohara Sakurako (guest star), Takada Riho (guest star), Watanabe Shu (guest star), Okayama Hajime (guest star), Iketani Nobue (guest star), Anami Atsuko (guest star)
Synopsis: Shinigami-kun (Ohno Satoshi), alias grim reaper #413, is a rookie who pronounces the death of those scheduled to die and brings souls to the nether world. He would appear with the signature phrase “Congratulations! I’m here to call on you” although it is hard to say how this can be a happy occasion, and watch over the dying. To a grim reaper, persuading people attempting to commit suicide and preventing unforeseen deaths is also an important task. But because #413 is new to this grim reaper work, he has a tendency to lean towards humans in his judgments, break the rules of the nether world and get reprimanded by his superior (Kiritani Mirei).
Ohno will be in another episodical drama and will play another weird character (which is okay, he's good). Also, it reminds me so much of Kaibutsu kun... but! As much as I'd like him to play in a different kind of drama, one with a solid plot, I'm still waiting for this. I think it will be nice funny in a weird way. Also excuse me while I flail at the idea of Mirei playing another awesome bitchy character!!!

Before long, he discovers that he has the special ability to communicate with the dead and is initially bewildered. But he learns truths about cases that no one knows, guided by the voices of the dead.
I haven't watched a Japanese detective drama in few months, but somehow I feel like I'm always watching them O_O But watch the trailer of this one! It seems so good?? I'm seriously intrigued. And the last drama with Oguri Shun I watched was Rich Man, Poor Woman... he was amazing, but I didn't like the drama, so I want to watch something nice with him!

Honestly, I want to see Takeru in another drama so much that I could watch anything. Luckily it seems an interesting drama: more detectives, but the father-son interactions might be nice. Oh, and the cast is full of people I know!
