Medley059～Autumn Japanese Drama TierList Final Edition

Hello the first weekend of January.

Coinciding with New Year's Day on January 1, I wish everyone a safe and happy 2022, and thank you again for your continued support and companionship.

Love Tibetan Japan

• WBS released the 2021 Top 10 list of Japan's Topix stock price increase, and the outdoor brand SNOWPEAK was the runner-up, symbolizing the changes in lifestyle in the era of epidemic.

• Nintendo launches a new batch of "Collections! "Animal Crossing Friends Club" merchandise, the design is so warm, Lillian-chan is building a snowman.

Japanese drama world

• The 2021 autumn Japanese dramas have all ended, and only one NHK's "Live Again" has not finished. My "recommendation ranking" has been adjusted (see the picture below), and the final ranking of the autumn file has been released: 12 of the 29 works in this season have been discarded and placed in zone D (one episode not followed will not be included in the list); 4 in Area C, including the most disappointing blockbuster "The Sinking of Japan"; 7 in Area B, including moderate works such as "Doctor-X"; 6 in Area A, with the morning drama "Come Together" soaring, and The big river drama "Rush to the Blue Sky" swaps places, and others such as "Favorite" and "The Alien" are all worth chasing; the S area is lacking.

※Always※

• After EP41 of "Rush to the Sky", in addition to the old makeup is not old enough, the second half of this big river drama is also one of the flaws, especially the last 10 episodes. On average, two or three celebrities will die in each episode, and they are all one or two games. The play and three or five lines of dialogue are sure to die. Therefore, the relatively active first half of the "second protagonist" Qingxi (Grass Miangang) is much more exciting.

• After EP5 of "The Strangers", Nasui confessed her life experience to her husband, and the deep meaning of staying in Kyoto was also reasonably explained. The truth of the murder many years ago was buried by the snow, and a little bit of unfinishedness may be an indispensable blank in painting. Kyoto and Tokyo are foreign places to each other, a wonderful "A Tale of Two Cities".

• At the end of EP5-6 of "The Ex-convict", Kotone Furukawa is the third guest guest in the show, playing the role of a hard-working woman who was deceived, manipulated, and exploited by men and became a drug addict. In the first two episodes, De Shiqiao Jinghe had a great performance and had a lot of scenes, and the paragraphs where the three people burst into emotion and played with each other were particularly enjoyable. Furukawa and Arimura played sisters in the previous "Divine Drama" and "Comedy Opening", and the spark of cooperation is still there.
• After EP9-10 of "Erased First Love", the pure love stories in Japanese dramas are nothing more than a series of misses, misunderstandings, and confessions. Fortunately, the setting of homosexual love among high school students covers up all the ins and outs, ignorance, and ignorance. The series aims to soften Japan's rigid gender stereotypes, but isn't the handsome man in shoujo manga a twist on LGBT people?

• "SUPER RICH" EP10-11 is over, there are actually 11 episodes. Nanako Matsushima launched the TOB acquisition, and the "blackening" drama was already expected. This drama will accompany the last of the works to be followed up in the fall, and the highlights will be the reunion of Keita Machida and Chichu Weiji, as well as the sense of humor in the Kansai accent of Noriko Eguchi.

• After EP8-12 of "Scar Tavern", Tomoyo Harada's late-night drama is not without its bright spots, but compared with the same type of "How about a cup of coffee", the gap is visible to the naked eye. The unique prose strokes and slow tune should not be at the expense of empty content. The theme song, the ending song, and the repeated pictures at the beginning and end should not be used. The net duration is less than 20 minutes. Moreover, it would be pretentious to talk about "injury" at every turn.

※Continued review※

• "Let's Come Together" W8 heroine crossed the bat: Anko, played by Moeyin Kamishiraishi, once again faced the decision to leave the pheasant family, broke with his daughter due to a misunderstanding, and went to the United States with Robert; 10 years later, RUI played by Eri Fukatsu went to Osaka Start a new life and meet the "cosmos man" Odakiri at the laundry. Fukatsu Eri, who is nearly 50 years old, has been in a "semi-retirement" state for more than ten years. It is a miracle that she can make a gorgeous comeback as the morning heroine. It can be said that the screenwriter Fujimoto Yukio took great pains for her.

※Review※

• After S1EP11 of "JIN Renyi", Ryoma "dead and resurrected", heard Ren reveal the truth in front of Ogata's tomb, and begged Ren to operate for Ye Feng. The two heroines gave up their respective engagements and embraced a new life. Jin dug out the wooden box and found that the sealed photos were gone. He finally broke free from the shackles of future and destiny and embraced the vibrant Edo in front of him. Part 1 ends here.

• "Even so, life goes on" EP6, Wen Zai suddenly appeared and took Futaba to the zoo. The two made an appointment to go to the Seto Inland Sea - the birthplace of their mother. Futaba persuaded her brother to see Yanggui, and Wen Zai lost control and left. On the other hand, the perpetrator and the victim formally meet. The two mothers are chasing the same drama. They remember the details of that year clearly. This rivalry drama is humorous and full of human warmth.

• "Bitter Sugar" EP6, Ichiko is excited about Xu, and Mari also starts a new relationship. The two share the "electric shock experience" of love.

※other※

• "The Matrix" 4 things are different, the sequel after many years is above the standard. The nested relationship between the simulated world and the real world is like Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies. Using science fiction, cyberpunk, AI apocalypse to package Japanese comics, (in the eyes of Westerners) Oriental, Zen, and Hong Kong-style kung fu has become a classic. Regarding the subtitle of the movie, each movie starts with "RE-", which can be translated as reloaded, evolutionary revolution, and resurrections. In addition, all exploration of machine AI is dissecting human nature, such as this sentence:

Quietly yearning for what you don't have, while dreading losing what you do. For 99.9% of your race, that is the definition of reality. Desire and fear.

• Faye Wong's 1993 "Obsessive Obsession", a Cantonese album recorded in 1992 and released in early 1993. Continuing the previous R&B style as a whole, Zhou Limao continued to write 2 cover songs that set the tone for the album. "Red Pink Feifei" fully demonstrated Faye Wong's gorgeous treble and smart pitch change, and the title of the song was obviously tailored for her. Faye Wong began to cooperate with Taiwanese musicians. The title song "Obsessive Obsession" is from Yuan Weiren, and "Monsoon" with Cantonese lyrics is also very good. Lin Xi participated in the composition again after a year. "Starting From Tomorrow" is a slow song with a simple melody but extremely endearing. Lin Xi's unique sense of language and neatness are becoming more and more clear. After this album, Faye Wong no longer uses the English album title, and the cover color is further weakened.

• "The Witcher" S1EP1-4 has always lacked confidence in the film and television works adapted from the game. I heard that CDPR announced that the PS5 version of "The Witcher 3" will be launched in 2022. You might as well finish the series of remakes by NETFLIX before replaying. In the first few episodes, the main characters such as Ciri, Yennefer, and Tellis appeared one after another. The pair of royal brothers and sisters in the cursed princess were used to point out the interlacing of the timeline. The narrative technique is quite clever. "Superman" Geralt looks good, and the missions of each episode are not unrelated to the main story.

※New drama※

• The 17-year-old Aina Ashida is on the show and will star in NHK's new drama "Ending Cut", which will be broadcast in March.
• Kotaro Koizumi collaborated with Mimura Rie "Psychoanalyst".

Koshihikari study

• Wushutang APP has put on the new and revised 8th edition of "Sanseitang Mandarin Dictionary". I glanced at it in the news before and said that hundreds of entries such as "MD" have been deleted, thousands of new entries have been added, and the first release discount is 2580 Yen (original price should be 3300).
• "The World Matsuko Don't Know" opens up the world of manuals, and the extensive use of onomatopoeia is indeed a major feature of Japanese.

The above is the whole content of this weekly report, and I will see you at the same time next week.
