Medley060~2021 Top Ten Japanese Dramas

Hello the 2nd weekend of January.

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, all the Japanese dramas in the autumn season have ended, and the winter season has not yet started, and it is another period of green and yellow. I took the time to finish two seasons of the NETFLIX series "The Witcher", and I also watched a few backlogs of SP and movies. In 2022, continue to follow Japanese dramas, chat Japanese, and watch Japan together.

Love Tibetan Japan

• Hikaru Utada's new album, titled "BAD MODE", was officially released on February 23, and the online platform was on sale in January.

• Kengo Kuma's new work, the Andersen Museum in Denmark was completed.

Japanese drama world

• My top ten Japanese dramas of 2021 are shown in the picture.

• The two are from the January winter file, namely: the screenwriter of Kankuro Miyato, Tomoya Nagase's "farewell work" "The Story of My Family", which tells a family story about old age and inheritance in a fun and interesting way, and the unique rhythm of "Gong Jiu" is still alive. ; Kobayashi Satomi once again cooperated with WOWOW to bring "Pension Metsa" to show you the life you dream of.
• The 5 films are from the spring file in April, they are: Yuji Sakamoto's "Soybean Field Towako and 3 Ex-Husbands", which are packaged with popular elements (popular actors, rap music, and love between sexes), and inside are profound thoughts on life; The "Comedy Opening", in addition to Xiuyi's script, also has the unique and burning "group soul" of young people, which is very moving; the third season of "Live" has all the staff dispatched and played steadily; "Life, Death, Father" is a The only late-night drama that made it to the list this year, has both prose and drama conflict; "About the current crisis and my favorability" is a work that focuses on social allegory, revealing the status quo of Japanese academia.
• 1 from the July summer file: "The Post" is a common commercial work, and the combination of Nagano Miyu and Toda Erika has been well received.
• 2 from the October autumn file, namely: Yoshitaka Yuriko's suspense drama "Favorite", a theme song of Hikaru Utada can break the siege in the lackluster autumn; "The Alien" is adapted from Harada Ma Ha's novel of the same name has a compact plot and superb performance.

• In addition to these 10 masterpieces, "Radius of 5 Meters", "Wandering Blade", "If I Kissed You Back then", "Sangdao 2021", etc. are also worth watching.

※Review※

• "JIN Renyi" S2EP1, the second season returns, Sato Ryuta, Ichimura Masako and other guest appearances, Nakatani Miki has been adjusted from the two heroines side by side with Ayase Haruka to "special appearance". Ren was involved in the dispute between the emperor and the chieftain at the end of the curtain, and was awakened by another transmigrator: is it not a kind of arrogance to be afraid of changing history?

• "Even so, Life Continues" EP7, Wen Zai's role in the last episode was significantly increased, and this episode tried to show his spiritual world from the perspective of his lover, Dong Xuehui, to pave the way for the violence against the farmer's daughter Zhenqi at the end. Sakamoto Yuji's imagination is so bleak, everyone is a goldfish with a swaying red tail, floating and sinking in their respective large or small fish tanks.
• "Bitter Sugar" EP7, the perspective turns to the homosexual Miyake (Toyohara Gongbu), he tells the bitter past of his parents' incomprehension, marrying his son, leaving the family, and even being unable to attend his daughter's wedding. Feng Yuan has a strong masculine charm to a certain extent (otherwise Koizumi Kyoko would not have loved him so much), and choosing him to play this role is to set things right for "comrade = drag queen".

• "The Witcher" S1EP5-8 is over, and the first season is over. Episodes 5 and 6 mainly tell the story of Geralt and Yennefer's acquaintance and their joint participation in the dragon slaying mission. These "side missions" isolated from the main line are especially like martial arts novels. The last two episodes continued to the fall of the kingdom at the beginning of the season, showing a tragic battle to defend the fortress. The use of flashbacks and interlude techniques is obviously successful, giving the audience enough time to familiarize themselves with the characters and build empathy.
• "One Hundred Thousand Why? " is Faye Wong's second album released in 1993. It continues the style of "Obstinate and Don't Regret" in the first half of the year, and goes further in all aspects. The original song "Liu Fei Fei" by the Soft and Hard Heavenly Master fully demonstrates Faye Wong's unique laughing voice; Lin Zhenqiang's "Like the Wind" is better than "Monsoon Wind", and it is the first time to collaborate with Zhang Yu; The continuation of "No Regrets", Liang Rongjun's English version of "Do We Really Care" is even more advanced; the cover of "If You Really Love Me" by Miyuki Nakajima has a pure voice and singing method; " is Faye Wong's own work; Lin Xi only has one song "Cold War", and translating "silence all these years" into "relative and speechless/love but speechless" is a magical stroke; Zhou Limao once again performed 2 cover songs, "DoDoDaDa" explained The name of the album, the lyrics open a precedent for social criticism and abstract style.

• Faye Wong pushed 4 albums wildly in 1994, and her first Mandarin album "Fan" took the lead. "I Do" written by Yao Qian and composed by Huang Guolun has been a great success. Now listening to it is inevitably sweet and numb. I prefer Huang Shujun's "Only Willing to Keep an Appointment for You". The theme and style are similar to the sound but more sincere, and there are more interpretations. Most of the other songs are Cantonese songs with new lyrics, with few bright spots. Lin Xi's Cantonese version of "Cold War" Zhuyu is in front, and the Mandarin version directly misappropriates and translates images and words. All in all, "Mystery" brings together Faye Wong's excellent works over the past year or two. It is more like a "graduation work collection", marking the end of the second stage. Faye Wong's music has completed the initial exploration and has become mature.

※New drama※

• Tori Matsuzaka's NHK drama "About the current crisis and my favorability" won the "Best TV Drama of the Japan Agency for Cultural Affairs Arts Festival".
• Kobayashi Satomi's new film is set for the 2022 Golden Week, looking forward to it.

absolute sense of language

• The last issue of "NP" in 2021 is another "buzzword list" that summarizes all the impressive "myths", "violent words" and "famous quotes" from last year as usual. Under the blessing of the Tokyo Olympics, all five famous quotes came from the sports world. "13 years old, the adventure of midsummer" won the annual award; myths were swept up in the political circles, and Koizumi Shinjiro pretended to be profound: "Few people know that plastic is made of oil"; violent remarks In terms of the Olympics, the epidemic accounted for half.

Koshihikari study

• Shuichi Yoshida's new work "Miss Sunshine", writing about the beauty of the sadness of elderly women, is recommended by Sayuri Yoshinaga; Setouchi's portable library "The Remaining Days of Me".

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