Medley029 ~ Three ex-husbands vs three comedians

Hello, 2nd weekend of May.

Shanghai has been experiencing "low pressure" weather recently. The blue sky and white clouds haven't shown up for a long time. Coupled with the fear of the sweltering heat in front of me, I feel depressed. I watched the movie "Children of the Stars" starring Aina Ashida over the weekend, and wanted to share my thoughts on reading the original book of the same name by Natsuko Imamura. Kazuo Ishiguro's "Clara and the Sun" was postponed.

Love Tibetan Japan

The economic news "WBS" made a "Gacha Special" a few days ago, introducing the new series of toy brands such as BANDAI that have become popular recently. It is said that in addition to popular anime peripherals such as "Blade of Ghost Slayer", miniature food, daily objects, and biological illustrations have a tendency to "out of the circle". So I plan to visit the newly opened "Gacha Sanctuary" in Shibuya for my "next time to Japan" to satisfy my hobby of collecting and collecting.

Soon I recalled the episode of "Fantasy Paradise" that Ariyoshi and Natsume got married not long ago. Matsuko started talking about his preference for colors. He said that when he was a child, his family was ordinary, and in times of poverty, he was particularly fond of small things, such as relatively rare gold and silver. origami. Until one day, the pine nuts who bought a whole stack of gold and silver paper finally found out that even if they are surrounded by beloved things, people are not happy.

Japanese drama world

Before I start talking about this week's episodes, I'll show you the "tier list" I made for the spring of April. After that, I'll definitely move, discard more, or try out the online dramas and late-night dramas that have not been listed yet. Update it then.

New drama:

- NHK's "Radius of 5 Meters" was written by Atsuko Hashibe, who just won the Mukada Award. Yoshine Kyoko plays the editor of a weekly magazine, who is kicked out of the "front page group" that tracks hot events such as gossip and scandals, and joins the "life group" that only pays attention to trivial matters around her. EP1 discusses gender stereotypes through an SNS post, in a format similar to "5jimu" and other commentary programs. However, opinion leaders such as Matsuko and Ichiro Furudate are too rare, and they are a test of the screenwriter's knowledge, oldness, and character.

- "If I Kissed You", written by Shizuo Oishi, is another soul exchange drama. The cartoonist played by Kumiko Aso meets Tori Matsuzaka, a fan who works part-time in a supermarket. The two suffered an air crash during their ambiguous relationship. Aso was killed but his soul was possessed by the uncle Jingura Shin, the cleaner next door. This is the end of EP1. I will put this in the "to be determined area", after all, the "drama meat" has not been served yet, and this kind of "canned drama" can occasionally taste pure.

Three ex-husbands vs three comedians:

- "Soyaba Towako and 3 Ex-Husbands" EP4 cast a "change ball", in the end it was Yuji Sakamoto! The plot did not follow the route of the first two episodes. This week, the marriage of "Rotating Chairman" Yazuo and Towako was almost described in profile, and the scenes of good friend Mianlai and the "new romances" of their ex-husbands were also inserted. Another change is that after Shen Sen and Lutaro divorced, he still remembered Shiwako, and Bazuo never loved Shiwako from the beginning. The food chain of love is so cruel.

There is no shortage of cartoonists this spring. Mianlai, who is free and easy by nature and loves freedom, will never grow up, but she can't do what others can do. She seems to be surrounded by mountains and can't breathe. time volunteers. Two details are touching: the pen name of the comic duo with Towako is "Korano Mochiko", the dust falling from the sky has a beautiful artistic conception; the "Sluice Gate" hanging on the wall of the eight works is Mianlai's work, right?

The eight works of "Organic Cowherd" are so popular with the opposite sex that they seem to have doubts and worries about relationships. Yuji Sakamoto shared his "view of winning and losing in love" through the game of Go: how work, sports, and playing chess are beneficial to him, except for love. The most powerful in love are those who disregard themselves and are always willing to lose to the other person. No wonder it is said that Banyuan is the golden sentence printing machine.

Finally, let's mention the ending song, EP4 cooperated with Daichi Yamamoto, and Matsuda Ryuhei came on stage to shoot the MV. So far, the first round of rap battle of "3 ex-husbands" has ended, and "Kotaro" Kakuta Kohiro has won. Looking forward to entering Round2 next, or the pairing combination "Due to", "Chorus", "Help Sing"?

- The EP3 "Miracle Water" of "Comedy Opening" uses pyramid selling as the incision to explore the force and reaction in life: people who view life with sincerity have a stronger sense of responsibility for work and family, and they often hurt when they are hit or in trouble. heavier. Rihoko's talk is too tearful, and she works hard but betrayed and hurts. When the most basic self-motivation, kindness, and virtue are shaken by the outside world, how can I regain myself? Give Jin Zi Maoshu a thumbs up.

The promise with his brother (acting on stage when he remarried) allowed Chun Doo to find a reason to continue "Macbeth". It seems that the middle few episodes will be a journey for the three members to find meaning separately. Shunta's reassuring words were warm and powerful: the important thing is to knock on the door often and say you still care about him. Rihoko was also saved in this way.

The actor of PS brother, Kezai Xiong, also participated in "Radius 5 Meters" this season. In a few years, he has become a quasi-protagonist from a runner, and the future can be expected~

Recommended episode sequels:

- "Life, Death, Father" EP4 is the most resonant episode so far. Radio listeners wrote to talk about Tokyo's large-scale redevelopment for the Olympics. Tokiko and her father revisited Ginza together. For people of her father's age, the memories of Tokyo are all in Ginza. However, the father and daughter soon discovered that Ginza had already changed its appearance. Some familiar stores had taken a back seat, some closed down, and a large number of foreign brands entered. It's not Ginza for Ginza people anymore. Ginza is only a microcosm of the immigrant city of Tokyo, Shanghai or any major city is not immune.

- EP12 "Eiichi's Departure" of the Taiga drama "Rush to the Blue Sky" draws an end to the life of the protagonist in his hometown of Bloodbath Island, and the eye of the storm in the big era officially moved from Edo to Kyoto. At the end of the chapter, many main characters performed colorful paragraphs one after another: "Chang Qilang", the most radical "Chang Qilang" who has always been a swordsman, persuaded him with his life to prevent his old friend from attacking Yokohama; Eiichi, who was determined to die, saved his life, Finally picked up the new born child and burst into tears; the reason why "Father" Kobayashi Kaoru supported Eiichi to go to Kyoto has been explained. When he was a teenager, he also embraced the dream of a samurai. Later, he realized that doing business is more suitable for him. This is also for future development. Foreshadowing; "Chiyo" Hashimoto Ai is the most tender look in the Edo chapter. She has a beautiful appearance and superb acting skills. She presents the gentleness and tenacity of traditional women through her tone and gesture. The younger sister is in sharp contrast.

- NHK's "About the Current Crisis and My Favorability" is a springtime bonus. EP2 hastily ended the "academic fraud incident" in an absurd way. Some people were bribed by money, some people were disheartened, and it was almost a rare bad ending. Screenwriter Aya Watanabe's criticism of power is intrusive: People with power think they are powerful, and then they think they are always right. They lack imagination and empathy from top to bottom. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter.

- "Matsuo Suzuki and the Actress in 30 Minutes" EP2 triggered the "Mikako Rebellion", the costume drama is nonsensical enough, and the 2 cutscenes are over, "Women's Bathhouse SOD" is a stunning scene. Under the absurdity Hidden mockery of the so-called political correctness of NGOs, white left, environmental protection, child welfare, meditation, etc. Miyato Kankuro also mentioned in "Story of My Family" why women can enter the men's bathroom as long as they act as a matter of course.

Other episodes:

- "Living" EP3 also talks about gender stereotypes. Keiko Kitagawa and Eita took their little capers to Hakone for their "honeymoon" and stopped by the Little Prince Museum; the runaway mother-in-law Miko Miyazaki was suddenly able to communicate smoothly with foreigners. subjectivity". In fact, people are always pulling back and forth between group living and seclusion, social relations and self-awareness, endlessly. Shiro Sano, who played Kitagawa Keiko's father, was hospitalized with a sudden kidney disease, and the role was replaced by Hirata. Blessing~

- "Beautiful Country" EP4 continues to tell the ignorant love story on campus, and the part of Yoshida Goat was completely forgotten. 2 women and 1 man form a triangular relationship. Girls are more mature and assertive than boys. I sometimes think that the issue of women's status that has been hotly debated in Japanese society in recent years may be the reversal of the sexes at the root: the lower the importance of physical strength, the higher the level of intelligence, emotional intelligence, and aesthetics. Women reconstruct the sexes The voice of mechanics is higher.

When Japan entered the era of "female superiority and male inferiority", women's sense of injustice was on the surface (status) "men are superior to women", but in fact (resources) "men are more than women". In the variety show "Monday Night Weiyang" by Matsuko and Murakami Shingo, the standard for women to find a partner has changed from "3 high" to "3 NO": no beating, no debt, no cheating. Almost just want to be a normal person.

- "The Gorgeous Family" EP3 tells that Dajie decides to reduce the financing of Tie Ping's company, and the conflict between father and son freezes three feet overnight. Since the main actor is Nakai Kiichi, the presentation is not one-sided. For example: Tepping's gestures and tone of voice are too contemptuous; Daisuke's love and hatred for his wife is also due to human nature.

- "How about a cup of coffee" EP5 explains how Aoyama (Ronya Nakamura) turned from the yakuza to the "coffee road", and the origin of the Japanese word for internal organs (ホルモン). Hei (Isomura Yuto)'s first love with coffee jelly makes people smile: He is invited to the house of a female classmate he has a crush on, and secretly takes the cherry pits that the girl spit out. People yearn to possess a certain piece of each other's life, and at the same time, they can feel at ease only by leaving evidence for their indescribable feelings.

- "Sakura Tower" EP3 changed the routine of thieves shouting to catch thieves in the first two episodes, the suspense stretched to the last second, and the infighting in the police circle continued to escalate. Nakari Yisa and Okada Kenshi, who are also "rivals in love", each have a wonderful scene. It is a pity that such a sharp vision and precise intuition are not "Detective Police Chief".

- Another episode of "Dragon Cherry Blossom 2", the script is ordinary but the production is above the standard. The key problem is that this class of students is not good at all in terms of appearance and acting skills.

absolute sense of language

I saw a list of "Heisei 30 buzzwords" on Japanese Twitter, and only half of the TOP10 were mastered. Recently, the "New Words of the Year" has been organized every year, which is like an annual vocabulary test. Seeing that the popularity is coming and going quickly, even if many hot words are not dead, the frequency of use is not as good as before.

In addition, I accidentally saw this line of subtitles in the "WBS" news, and I thought it was very representative, so I cut it off. Most Japanese learners probably make up sentences with "lonely" and "surely" without even thinking about it. "Take it" is a stubborn problem in Japanese translation. To the extent that the cliché is said, it is equivalent to cutting off the active operation of the brain, and the whole child is kidnapped by the so-called correct and only answer instilled in it. This is really the deepest problem.

Koshihikari study

Michio Shusuke's new book "Thor" was released on May 26, and it is known as the strongest, fiercest and most shocking work since his debut. The picture shows the sample book published by the author on Ritui. I can read it when I have time to see how strong, fierce and shocking it is.

• The note-taking app Notability has launched version 10.4, which supports combined handwriting and DIY stickers. The thumbnail preview finally launched is eye-catching.
• Sony PlayStation announced 2 cooperations, including launching themed shoes with Nike, with classic color matching, like wearing two PS5s on the feet; in addition, the PS5 console and player interaction in the APP will be deeply integrated with Discord to strengthen social attributes. SONY (or most Japanese electronics companies) has always had the stubborn problem of strong hardware and weak software. No matter how good the workmanship of Sony Ericsson's mobile phones was in those days, it was still overwhelmed by the system and software.

The above is the entire content of this issue of "Newsletter Weekly", we will see you at the same time next week.
