I'm not sure that this is the right place to post this topic or not but I want to talk a bit about the drama "Yamadataro Monogatari"

I know all of us have been waiting for this drama to come out. And I just watched it from the beginning tonight. It's sooooooooo great, hard to explain by words. Nino and Sho star in this drama and they did fantastic job as usual. The story is very good. Just the first chapter can make you laugh and cry. Even if it's not Nino and Sho, it's very good to watch. BUT!!!! since there are two of them, it's even more wonderful. I bet this one wouldn't disappoint you. Heart

I don't wanna spoil much in case there's anyone hasn't watched it. but plz do watch it. If u have any comments or impressions on this.... let's speak up.

I Loved the first episode!!! I have to admit I was worried because I read some of the manga and I wondered if sho could pull off being cold and cool at the same time and if nino would fit taro. But I thought they were great! The looks sho gave nearly killed me he really uses those gorgeous big eyes to their full potential XD

I also loved the beggining and the song happiness.

Lucky.

Where did you watch the first episode from? I don't mind watching it raw...for now. But I also hope that it will be subbed, so that I can watch it again to get a better understanding of the story. clapping

A lot of people have provided D/L links, there's a raw torrent in d-addicts. Direct downloads have also been provided in Livejournal.
I haven't downloaded it yet because I want to watch it subbed, so I'm waiting for the release of subs.
I think Stormy team is subbing this drama.
Thanks to them! smile

I'm waiting too, but I'll be gone for a week starting tomorrow with no computer!! So if it comes out, I won't know!!

Oh well, I'll just wait until I get back! smile

It'll be worth the wait to see it subtitled!!

This is an amazing drama!! I laughed and cried and just... all the characters are interesting and while many things are done over-the-top, that's the way I like it. Nino really has an angelic smile and Sho plays a great cool boy, such a different role from Taiyo-sensei.

Arashi's Happiness fits wonderfully as a theme song too, and the titleback with all of them playing air guitar is so cute.

I'll work hard to get a script out asap, as everyone really needs to watch this series. big grin

I thought the first episode was great! When I saw Nino smile and the girls faint I could help but laugh! And I think there were some times where I thought..."Only Nino could have said that line to make it look that way." Hee hee...iono if that makes sense, but yeah....I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
