Medley030～Life may fail, but life without failure

3rd weekend of May, everyone.

The sun is coming out today in Shanghai, which has been gloomy for about a week, and the sky is still a touch of blue. I took out the fan on Tuesday and forgot to turn it off when I went to bed at night. The 2nd gear breeze immediately caught me with a cold, my limbs were sore and dizzy for several days.

Love Tibetan Japan

Aina Ashida's "Children of the Stars" is directed by Ritsugu Omori. Long before the "Akutagawa Award", I liked Natsuko Imamura's short stories, but the medium-length novels are not yet ready. The movie follows the original book step by step, and Cass such as Nagase Masahiro, Harada Tomoyo, Kora Kengo, Kuroki Kasuga and others are particularly appropriate, and the director is also a translator to some extent. The plot and comments about the movie will be shared along with the reading experience.

[Next time to Japan] Amami Oshima, Tokunoshima, northern Okinawa and Iriomote Island, which belong to Kagoshima and Okinawa, will be included in the World Natural Heritage List in July. Another reason to go again.

"5jimu" introduced the fixed poses of different occupations to take promotional photos, which is very interesting. For example, chefs in ramen shops hold their arms, entrepreneurs make narrations, male writers hold their cheeks, flight attendants, politicians, singers, etc. also have their own classic poses. The show didn't mention it, but I've always wondered: why do comedians like to be boxers?

Japanese drama world

Twin Peaks:

- Recently I read a conversation between Yasuda Ken and Han Yuan Yuji. Banyuan once again stated that he has written TV dramas for more than 30 years and has nothing to write about. From "Quartet", "Anone" to "Soybean Field", the "situation drama" has become more and more important, and the dramatic conflict has gradually given way to the interaction of characters.
The main line of EP5 of "Soybean Field Towako and 3 Ex-Husbands" returns to the protagonist: on the one hand, it continues to extend the triangular relationship with Bazuo and Mianlai. EP4 is not so straightforward, and some viewers may not get the object of Bazuo's unrequited love. Who (such as those housewives who are chasing dramas while vacuuming); on the other hand, potential "Season4" objects appear, outspoken, and the public and private are not divided to the point of "prehistoric dinosaurs", which makes me face as broken as Matsu Takako. "President Dinosaur" was so terrifying that it made people suspect that Yuji Sakamoto wrote too hard and badly. Fortunately, Towako's golden sentence in this episode: "There will be failures in life, but there will be no failures in life". A few days ago, Utada Hikaru started a live broadcast on instagram to interact with fans. When asked how to deal with setbacks, Hikki's reply was similar to that of "Golden Sentence Printing Machine" Banyuan. She said that only giving up is a setback. A setback.
Compared to what Towako experienced, the ex-husbands were much happier. Others make up the twelve constellations when they are in love, and Juwako collects the traffic lights for divorce. Hatsukaku's bitter love continues, peach blossoms continue elsewhere, and a pair of socks reveal his heart; the love between Shikataro and the actress is like a minuet, full of inaccurate steps; Shen Sen finally recognizes the real face of the housekeeping staff, people It is often forgotten to give a face-to-face smile to those who serve you.

- "Comedy Opening" EP4 "Abandoned Cat" is the story of Shunta (written). The seemingly insulated mother and son have no one in their hearts: the son retaliates with rebellion, which is like self-mutilation to inscribe his attachment to his mother; the mother's sudden visit is like a weak distress signal, but unfortunately few people can grasp it in time, and the fate is paradoxical. tease. How did Shunta write this drama? How could he play tickets to Macbeth?
The script of this episode is neat and agile, and several echoes give people a sense of rhythm like poetry. The origin of the group name "Macbeth" was revealed, which naturally led to the fact that Mr. Maki didn't encourage the three to continue to pursue dreams, which aggravated Runping's struggle; the owner of the izakaya comforted Shunta at the right time, "You can treat me as a relative", and took care of the misunderstanding of "poaching" above; The "one, one, one" at the time of ordering is also far away from the "wangwangwang" at the end. 【Kaneko Maoshu does not want to lose】

Continued review:

- "Rising to the Sky" EP13 opens a new chapter. The Eiichi brothers came to Kyoto to join the Ichihashi family via Edo, and how could they not miss the world heritage-level experience of drinking flower wine in Wenrou Township. Five generations, Hijikata and other influential figures showed their faces one after another, and Fujioka Indigo played the same role again after the morning drama, realizing the wonderful linkage between NHK dramas.

- "Radius of 5 Meters" EP2 analyzes the relationship between middle-aged husband and wife who turn a blind eye. Life not only smoothes people's edges and corners, but also blindfolds us, teaching people to forget why they were moved in the first place. The senior writer played by Bomei Yongzuo was observant and interviewed the editor-in-chief's wife calmly. He not only successfully completed the topic selection of the magazine, but also acted as a middleman for his boss. On the side of the heroine Fanggen Jingzi, I just hope that every bear will not be too scumbag.

- It's not enough to be killed in just one episode. EP3 of "Matsuo Suzuki and the Actress in 30 Minutes" set off the "Kumiko Aso Rebellion", and the episode "Takako Shirakawa, the Self-Proclaimed Lawyer" is particularly exciting. In just about ten minutes, the beginning, the succession, the transformation, and all aspects were covered, and while it was nonsensical, he did not forget to lash out against social phenomena such as word-of-mouth reviews and food fraud. Just to give birth to this irony, those decades of sweaty "2 hours SP" are also worth it.
EP4 ended successfully with "The Rebellion of Kuroki Kazu". The two main scenes seem to be slightly inferior to Aso, and there are many, from zombie films, Dahe dramas, 2-hour SP to Ozu Yasujiro, Matsuo let go of his hands and feet or ridiculed or paid tribute, and his profound drama skills are admirable. "Loneliness is a sin" expresses the aspirations of many performers.

- "Living" S3EP2 talks about camping, and Erkaitang Wen is a guest. Outdoor activities such as campfire camping are all the rage, and many outdoor youtubers have emerged in Japan. Some people even bought an entire barren mountain to take care of it slowly. The discussion pattern here in baka is much smaller, and the question of who to go with or not to go with is still entangled. The title uses outdoor and out to form a pun, reflecting the comedian's professional sensitivity.

- "About the current crisis and my favorability" EP3 tells the story of a storm caused by social networks, and the principal (Matsushigetoyo) was forced to hold a press conference for crisis public relations. The ruthlessness of the screenwriter Aya Watanabe's writing is astounding: she pointed out that Japan is a declining country that is looked down upon by the world; she even criticized the common problem of "not saying good things" in the field of public opinion. It is a true portrayal of today's Japanese.

- The subtitle of "If I Kissed You Back then" EP2 is "Jingpu Xin's Madness and Gentleness", which can only be written by Dashi Jing, who has cooperated with Jingpu Xin many times and knows the bottom line. It took Taodi a whole episode to finally accept the far-fetched setting (still unable to kiss), learn to see the essence through the phenomenon, and the comic style cannot be easily imitated to play a key role. Weiyue was angry and blamed Taodi for not kissing her at that time, otherwise she would not have been killed.

- "Sakura Tower" EP4 continues the suspense of the previous episode, dismantling the mystery left by the father, and at the end there is a feeling of "the enemy is in the Honneng Temple". The new generation of the police started a series to challenge the corrupt establishment, but found that the greasy uncle was also younger.

- The 2 late-night dramas of Tokyo TV have their own strengths. "How about a cup of coffee" is slightly inferior to "Life, Death, Father" after entering the "mainline". EP5 continues the father-daughter restoration journey. Shizi finds inspiration for the column and invites his father to visit the zoo together. His father's old friend made Tokiko realize that, despite the resentment in her heart, she was his daughter after all. I like Shizi's analysis of "Sharing Babies in the Circle of Friends", everyone can only repair their childhood injuries if they face themselves more sincerely.
"How about a cup of coffee" EP6 "Octopus Coffee" further explained the process of Aoyama's connection with coffee, and the gang's shady candidates have "expected sense of surprise". There is a fine line between various "daos" and cults in Japan.

- "Gorgeous Family" EP4 focuses on laying out Dasuke's ambitious and complicated business battle. Nakai Guiichi uses his expression to explain what it means to be scheming; on the other hand, Yinping and Wan Shuzi's unfortunate marriage is more self-inflicted, making people do not know where to start sympathy . The relationship between Xiangzi and Tieping is becoming increasingly tense, and there is a situation of confrontation between two peaks within the family. At the wedding, Tieping, who is on his own, greets guests everywhere, making Xiangzi feel that his status is insecure. [Magic will eventually fail]

other:

- EP6 of "The Crow of One Punishment" excavates the truth of a wrongful case 12 years ago. Baka rhythm from the "Garden of Hell" crew made a cameo appearance. He also collaborated with Toyo Takeno Uchi again after "Choose Taxi", adding luster to the drama with his personal charm .

- Some TV dramas are too surreal in their design, which can lead to criticism at light and loss of audience at worst. For example, "Little Taro Lives Alone" EP3 witnessed the abandonment of the baby but did not pursue it.
Is the female subordinate of the rescue team in "Living" EP4 finally crazy? Who gave her courage
PS Hirata's appearance in the top class is so interesting, his wife dislikes him so much that he doesn't want to look at him, and it makes sense not to find a replacement.

- It turns out that Ryohei Suzuki fell in love with Riho Yoshioka at first sight in "Love Cartoonist". Apart from that, there is nothing new in EP5 where Arisa is invited to make a cameo appearance... The tolerance for romantic light comedies is really high.

- "Beautiful Country" EP5 describes the ignorant exploration of sex by boys and girls. Under the setting of the near future, the viewpoint is not new. The biggest flaw of this drama is not the content that is completely separated, but the rhythm gap between the two paragraphs is too great: the part of Yoshida sheep is full of tension and the rhythm is brisk, while the part of the campus is much more gentle, and the narrative also has a sense of procrastination. [It's a pity to go high and low]

New drama:

- Takahashi's first collaboration with Hideki Noda, and will star in NODAMAP's work "FAKESPEARE", with Okura Koji, Maeda Atsuko, Hashizuko and others joining. I hope it can be staged as scheduled ~ PS The title of the play is obviously homophonic "Shakespeare", maybe it can be translated "Fakespeare".

- Yuki Amami's "Emergency Interrogation Room" Season 4 will return in the summer of July.

- Fen Nikaidou starred in the manga adaptation of the work "Promise Cinderella", a new romantic light comedy.

- Another 30th anniversary TV drama of WOWOW will be adapted from Miyuki Miyabe's "Solomon's Perjury", which will be broadcast in the autumn.

- Nakagawa Taizhi starred for the first time, playing a killer with 0 talent in "My Killing Intent to Love".

- Higa Aimi and Kitayama Hiromi are involved in "summer marriage drama", anyway, summer is cheating except for ghost stories.

- Season 2 of the criminal investigation drama "VOICE" by Shouming Tangzawa and Yoko Maki will be launched!

absolute sense of language

Women's magazine "Ray" has been criticized by public opinion for publishing an article on its official website instructing girls on how to do "dad life". The so-called "daddy's life" means that young girls make friends with middle-aged men through SNS, and exchange for money by accompany to eat, sing, etc. The language is not as negative as "aid dating", but the nature of "soft porn" is exactly the same. 【Loss of Character】
