Medley037～From urban love to relativity

Hello the first weekend of July.

In the spring season, I like "Towako Soybean Field and 3 Ex-Husbands" the most. The season finale review was issued the day before yesterday, and the title is "10 Golden Sentences of Towako Soybean Field". In my opinion, at the most abstract level, the "Park Bench Conversation" in which Touwako was able to solve the problem is the core of the whole play. What Yuji Sakamoto really wants to discuss is not love, but time. From the subjective point of view of the witnesses, time is passing. I have experienced 3 marriages, lost a close friend, and almost staged "season 4"... But as long as I switch to the objective point of view of a bystander, time becomes a continuous segment, 3 marriages, A close friend is all condensed in a time capsule. Towako and Yasaku in the dream of EP10 are like another version in a parallel time and space... Only Sakamoto Yuji can relate to the theory of relativity from urban love.

• Last weekend, Hikaru Utada invited Anno Hideaki to her instagram live show as a guest to talk about the creation process of the new single, the theme song "One Last Kiss" and its MV for the finale of the "EVA" movie version. Hikki did not forget his shyness To ask for welfare for his son (it is said to be a fan of Ayanami Rei), the director readily agreed to send a whole set to the UK. [If you have a mother, what can your husband ask for]
• In addition, Hikaru Utada joined the family of SHISEIDO Shiseido spokespersons, and the specially composed promotional song was named "Find Love".

Japanese drama world

always

• "Life, Death, Father" EP12 ended the journey of reminiscence, Tokiko returned to the broadcasting station, the new work was published (the title of the book), and the career entered a new stage. The father and daughter went to the hardware store to take care of EP4's thinking about the changes in Ginza. The father gave Shizi guidance, and the two really reached a reconciliation. I like Shizi's last monologue: In the past, mother was the key to maintaining the relationship between father and daughter, but now, father has become the bond between mother and daughter. [Accidentally ranked among the TOP3 in the spring]

• EP9 of "Radius of 5 Meters" "Starts from Here", in the face of the same social incident, Feng Weixiang and her boyfriend and colleague Shanbian had a conflict. Although Feng Weixiang was proved to be right, the relationship between the two could only temporarily come to an end... ...But after watching the whole drama, I don't think the relationship between the pair is very deep. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other families and children on the mountainside. Since it is a multi-person co-writer, the level of each episode fluctuates slightly, and the ending is not successful, which is a pity. fin.
• "Blade of Wandering" EP6, Kuaier called Xiaocheng and asked for 100,000 yen, and the two met in Shinjuku. Man, why should anyone be forgiven? The confrontation scene was tense and ups and downs, and Ichikawa Riju, the actor of Kuaier, had a very aura in his eyes. The final reversal comes from Kunimura Hayabusa, reflecting on the police, citizens and the law, profound and sharp. fin.

• NHK's new drama "Lion's Snacks" EP1, terminally ill girls live in a hospice care center, where there are beautiful island scenery, simple and enthusiastic nursing staff, and various desserts full of surprises and expectations. The topic of when and how life ends can be powerful and moving when handled well. Of course, Zhuyu is in front, and the pressure is no small matter.

revisit

• "Love Revolution" EP2 "Love Season" appeared before and after 3 kisses: the strong kiss of Naoto Fujiki for the first time, Makiko Ekaku, who used to fall in love with the exclusion method, said that he did not consider such a frivolous and beautiful man at all; blind date encounter (in the eyes of everyone) A suitable object, kiss step by step; finally kiss yourself in the mirror, a classic scene. Twenty years ago, I didn't understand Japanese, so I could only read about it. This time, I like Fujimoto Yukio's opening monologue more.

• In order to integrate into the Arai family as soon as possible, Yuichiro tried his best to please everyone, and even invited everyone to go to Hawaii to have a wedding on vacation. Blessings from the whole family... This drama is too sweet and warm, and every smile that heals people's hearts is worthy of thanks. PS Xiaoxue, who played the role of Mr. Ai Ye Yaki, made his debut and was not so "teacher" 20 years ago.

• "Wednesday Affair" EP1 "A husband who is devoted to his wife", the sometimes pure, sometimes muddy love is staged again after 20 years. Nozawa Takahashi's script exudes a lasting light that transcends time, and the super strong Cass also makes the series have no sense of age. The story begins with an abrupt dialogue, vaguely reminiscent of "Ten Day Talk"; Ishida Hikaru is a crystal flower in the snow in winter, Amami Yuki is a sunflower blooming with her head held high in summer, and another pair of "red roses and white roses".

• In "Goodbye, Teacher Ozu" EP2, the "Basketball Club 5" was punished by the school for eating the overlord meal. In the last game, the opponent was thrown more than 100 points. There were also flashing moments in the humiliating defeat. The screenwriter indifferently reveals the current situation of the so-called "bottom school", and also nakedly presents the despair and powerlessness of life in front of the audience. There are few inheritors of Tamura Masakazu's acting skills (Kimura Takuya?), and if he is not careful, he will become "handsome".

• EP2 of "Marriage with a Son" captures the process of meeting the future father-in-law in great detail and full of fun. To a certain extent, this drama is similar to the spring version of "Living". By reversing the order of marriage and love, it adds new ideas to the conventional light comedy of love. The big-name supporting roles are also not idle: the suspected homosexual husband and wife Mu Satoshi locked on Abe Hiro, Sawamura Kazuki who was fascinated by Ishida Yuriko, Katase Nana's sense of comedy at his fingertips...

Continued review

• In the EP20 of the big river drama "Rush to the Blue Sky", "Take Taifu, Thunderbolt", the Kazuhashi family succeeded to the post of general, but Rong Yi tried to persuade him to no avail. The reason why the wheel of history is cruel is that it does not depend on personal will, honor or disgrace, gain or loss. Qingxi may not have known that the shogunate's arrogance was about to run out, and the "potential" had come to this point, so he had to bite the bullet and bear it. Hijikata Toshizo, who is also a farmer, and Eiichi sympathize with each other, Machida Keita challenges the killing formation, and the posture is good~

• Morning drama "Welcome Back to Baiyin" W6 "Youth of Adults", it's time to make up some emotional scenes. His father's music partner revealed to Baiyin the story of his mother chasing after his father 20 years ago. At the same time, the "little lovers" who were quickly getting closer due to exam preparations also became the target of everyone's gossip in the "Forest Group"... Kentaro Sakaguchi gradually quit. Get armed, try to integrate into the life of the locals, and get the slightest expression right.
• "Gorgeous Family" EP10, Dajie's "Big Snacks" plan, which has been carefully traded for many years, is about to be implemented. Counting them down, from Tieping to Erzi, 4 children have more or less fallen victim to this crazy plan. The characters in this play are slightly weak: the children of rich families lack "consciousness"; the "true love" of Yinping and Erzi is too superficial; Dajie treats his children with an iron fist.
• The highlights of EP3-4 of "The Chef is a Detective" include: Chef Sanzhou is publicly confessed by admirers, the situation of LGBTQ groups, the dialectics of open-mindedness and principle... with king cake, Provence fish soup, vegetable soup and musha Cards, etc. are more delicious. Sanzhou's attitude towards work is admirable: criticism is fully accepted, even if it is just the guest's whim, unreasonable preferences, and misunderstood cognitions.
• "Live" EP7-8 is full of laughs. The "don't get up" part made me think of getting a vaccine: instead of adding boxing to the risk of going out, it's better to keep waiting, and there will always be someone who will help me by the way...
  The paragraph "Breaking through the empty door" said that some thieves will correct their evil and return to the right anti-theft experts, and vice versa. Similar "reversal and then inversion" is precisely the creative method that baka is best at, and many works are reflected in it. Erjie Tangwen's eyes are very playful.
