Trailer

Scriptwriters: Kuroiwa Tsutomu (Yorozu Uranai Dokoro Onmyouya e Yokoso, Dinner, Strawberry Night), Oyama Shota (Bitter Blood)

Synopsis: The brilliant, invincible duo of Saikawa Kohei (Ayano Go), a university associate professor in architecture, and his wealthy student Nishizono Moe (Takei Emi) take on bizarre locked room murders and figure out the shocking tricks.

..."locked room murders"... where have I heard about this? Anyway, I'm a shallow woman, and I'll obviously watch it for the plot. Yes...
Jokes aside, the scriptwriters did write something really good in the past, like Strawberry Night and Bitter Blood, so I think it could be good. Definitely not original, because locked rooms again, but nice. And if it won't be nice... who cares, I'll take screencaps of Ayano Go's face.

Trailer
Date: From 10.00 p.m., Wednesdays, 15 October 2014
Station: NTV
Scriptwriter: Kaneko Shigeki (Summer Nude, Voice, Proposal Daisakusen)
Genre: Romance
Cast: Ayase Haruka, Fukushi Sota, Tamaki Hiroshi, Naka Riisa, Chiba Yudai, Taguchi Junnosuke, Iwai Kami, Fukikoshi Mitsuru, Asano Kazuyuki, Takahata Atsuko
Synopsis: Aoishi Hanae (Ayase Haruka) is a plain, inconspicuous office lady who has had no experience in love and no boyfriend. On her 30th birthday, she happens to end up drinking with Tanokura Yuto (Fukushi Sota), a cool university student nine years her junior who is also a part-timer at her company, on the way home from a welcome party for new employees. Hanae gets drunk. When she wakes up the next morning, she finds a naked Yuto sleeping next to her. She has her first experience and first boyfriend out of the blue. Even when Hanae and Yuto go on to date, it is a daily process of trial and error because everything is a first for Hanae, including an amusement park date, a sleepover, Christmas Eve or a couple’s trip. To complicate matters, she also gets a proposal from Asao Yu (Tamaki Hiroshi), the CEO of an Italian food company who is popular with women, and a love triangle develops.

I'm a shallow woman - part 2. Because I've decided to watch this drama after seeing the male leads XD The usual thing with the plain, inexperienced woman (with glasses, of course) that somehow is contended by two good looking guys. Seems also very similar to that Cinderella drama because one of the guys is younger than her and the other is older/of the same age. But I like these things, so...


Jigoku Sensei Nube
Nube_zps121a6a01
Trailer
Date: From 9.00 p.m., Saturdays, 11 October 2014
Station: NTV
Scriptwriters: Magy, Sato Yuji
Genre: School
Cast: Maruyama Ryuhei, Kiritani Mirei, Hayami Mokomichi, Yamamoto Mizuki, Chinen Yuri, Jiyoung, Yuka, Nakagawa Taishi, Yoshizawa Ryo, Sano Gaku, Matsui Airi, Sano Hinako, Mizutani Kaho, Nakamura Yurika, Takatsuki Sara, Makita Sports, Toyama Toshiya, Yamada Shintaro, Shibata Misaki, Sakagami Shinobu, Takahashi Hideki
Synopsis: Nueno Meisuke (Maruyama Ryuhei) takes up a post at Domori High School. He cares very much for his students but his enthusiasm proves futile. A hopeless teacher who is clumsy, foolish and ridiculed by students. However, there is another side to him. He is the only teacher in Japan with psychic powers because of a devil dwelling in his left hand. When his students are attacked by monsters and evil spirits which take up residence in weak human hearts, he would risk his life to protect them by making use of his left hand.

Looks... cringeworthy. I hope that Maru and Mirei's presence will distract me from everything that will go on on screen (and from Chinen's presence. I really dislike the guy as an actor >.<)


Gomenne Seishun
Gomenne_zps340e991b
Trailer
Date: From 9.00 p.m., Sundays, 12 October 2014
Station: TBS
Scriptwriter: Kudo Kankuro (Amachan, 11nin mo Iru, Unubore Keiji)
Genre: School comedy
Cast: Nishikido Ryo, Mitsushima Hikari, Nagayama Kento, Shigeoka Daiki, Haru, Triendl Reina, Shirasu Jin, Kuroshina Yuina, Morikawa Aoi, Koseki Yuta, Suzuki Takayuki, Yamoto Yuma, Tomiyama Eriko, Hisamatsu Ikumi, Ryusei Ryo, Saito Yuki, Morishita Aiko, Enari Kazuki, Nakamura Shizuka, Hida Yasuhito, Shishido Miwako, Ueki Natto, Sakai Maki, Namase Katsuhisa, Kazama Morio
Synopsis: 31-year-old Hara Heisuke (Nishikido Ryo) is a teacher at a high school in Shizuoka. He is like most people rather than an exceptional person. But an unfortunate accident which occurred 14 years ago ended up messing up his life. Feeling responsible, he stuck to his hometown and alma mater from then on. Meanwhile, it is decided that the boys school where he works will be merged with a girls school in the same area because of a decline in student numbers next year. Furthermore, a joint cultural festival is to be held as a “trial event” for the merger. Heisuke dedicates himself towards the aim of making the cultural festival a success and overcomes the big fuss that occurs. His hard work finally bears fruit with the great success of the joint cultural festival.

I don't know what's going on with Ryo's drama, recently. Because it's since Papadol that I don't like the dramas he acts in (Papadol is included, of coure). Ryo is good, so he can make acceptable even a dull drama, but I'd still prefer him going back to 'the old days'. And I hope he'll do it with this drama.


N no Tame ni

Trailer
Date: From 10.00 p.m., Fridays, 17 October 2014
Station: TBS
Scriptwriter: Okudera Satoko (Yakou Kanransha)
Genre: Love mystery
Cast: Eikura Nana, Kubota Masataka, Kaku Kento, Koide Keisuke, Hara Hideko, Shibamoto Yuki, Moro Morooka, Miho Jun, Hayama Shono, Yamamoto Mirai, Orimoto Junkichi, Mitsuishi Ken, Miura Tomokazu, Konishi Manami, Tokui Yoshimi
Synopsis: University student Sugishita Nozomi (Eikura Nana), Naruse Shinji (Kubota Masataka), Ando Nozomi (Kaku Kento) and Nishizaki Masato (Koide Keisuke) end up coming upon the scene of the murder of the Noguchi couple (Konishi Manami, Tokui Yoshimi), because of a plan they had devised. Nishizaki is arrested at the scene and is given a 10-year prison term because of his voluntary confession. 10 years later, Takano Shigeru (Miura Tomokazu), a former police officer who has misgivings about the verdict of this case, starts to pursue the truth. He is convinced that it all began as a result of an incident caused by Nozomi and Naruse on an island in the Seto Inland Sea in the summer 15 years. “They committed a crime at that time. It was for the sake of each N.”

Something about the plot makes me think of a better, more mature version of Lost Days. And I liked that drama, so I have some expectations for this drama. Also because in the cast there are some really good actors that I haven't seen in ages (Kaku Kento! Koide Keisuke!!!!) and the scriptwriter wrote one of the best dramas of the last year, Yakou Kanransha.

Trailer
Date: From 9.00 p.m., Mondays, 13 October 2014
Station: Fuji TV

Synopsis: Saburo (Oguri Shun), an ordinary high school student, travels back in time to the Sengoku era (1549). He encounters a young lord who looks exactly like him and is told, “Be my substitute. I’m the eldest son of the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga.” After the young lord leaves, Saburo is mistaken for Nobunaga by a vassal and taken to the castle. He starts to live as Oda Nobunaga from this day. The young samurai of the Oda family which is merely a minor feudal lord, set out towards the extraordinary dream of unifying the whole country through the power of Saburo. Saburo, a person from modern times who has no experience killing people, does not understand the willingness of the warlords of the Sengoku era to lay down their lives for their family. It is the same for the vassals too. They have had a hard time understanding Nobunaga’s actions ever since the ill-mannered, wilful Saburo took over. Despite this “generation gap across space and time”, they are soon on the brink of achieving their dream...

Putting this here because I have faith in this cast.
