Medley062 ~ Abe Hiroshi's DCU episode abandoned?

Hello, the 4th weekend of January.

I have the habit of wearing a smart watch to sleep at night. After a while, I found that my house was covered with a duvet, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable subjectively. The quality of sleep was often only 60 to 70 minutes; I went to my parents’ house on weekends and slept with cotton or Acrylic quilts usually have a base of more than 90 points. Passing through NITORI in Xujiahui two days ago, the hotel series of bedding products "catch the soul", it seems that "new year's new quilt" is imperative.

Love Tibetan Japan

• Hikaru Utada released his 8th album "Bad Mode" on his 39th birthday (January 19th), the entire song has been released on the online platform (10 songs + 4 remixes), and the physical version will be released in February. Hikki calls it "the most satisfying one" and goes further and further in musical exploration.

• Kao recently announced the suspension of promotional stickers, and all text content will be printed on the bottle. The trend of environmental protection is an inevitable issue when material commodities are saturated.

Japanese drama world

• At present, more than 10 winter dramas have been broadcast, and my "Japanese drama tier list" (v.11) has been updated for your reference.

※Always※

• TBS's blockbuster "DCU" is on the air this season. EP1 builds a team, forges relationships, and reverses cases. Everything seems familiar. Some people say that this work is similar to "Sea Ape", which is far away. Just compare the "Sunday Theater" in the past year, tone, Cass (Abe Hiro, Nakamura), naming and team configuration (TOKYO MER) , atmosphere and picture elements (Japan sinking) and other aspects of repetition are vivid in my mind. So I decided to abandon this "masterpiece", not to mention Yokohama Meteor.
• "Cute Lies Gentle and Shady" EP1, "Classmates' Reunion Suspense Drama" starring Haru, has an old-fashioned setting, and Cass has no bright spots. It is temporarily in the pending area, if the annoying "plagiarism girl" dies in episode 2, maybe it will be pursued.
• "Reconciler Nagasaki Translation of Unfamiliar Stories" EP1, Nagase Ren again appeared in the NHK drama after the morning drama "Welcome Back Baiyin", and the costumes are not ugly. "Reconciler" was the name given to translators in the Edo period, and it was also called "Tongshi". An interesting and neglected history of foreign exchanges.

※Continued review※

• "Kamakura 13 retainers" EP2 second officer's sincerity, mainly tells the story of Yoritomo (Oizumi Yo) and Yae (Aragaki Yui) breaking off relations and dating Masako (Koike Eiko). Koki Mitani appropriately added elements of realism to the tone of the comedy. For example, the Hojo family arranged for Yoritomo and Yae to meet for the last time, but was rejected by Yoritomo, to achieve a balance between joy and sadness, truth and falsehood.

• "Let's Come Together" W11 continued to promote the love between RUI and JOE. RUI told the secret that was buried deep in his heart, and was revealed by JOE in one sentence, "You must miss your mother very much, like seeing her", and JOE was vaguely talking about that boy . It is not far off to see some media praise this is expected to be the best morning in history.

• "Don't Talk About Suspense" EP2 joins Eita Nagayama, Aimi Sazugawa, Yuki Morinaga and many other guest guests. The bus hijacking has evolved into a big house team building (sharing the bad things they have done). Unique insights on topics such as nature and man-made, bullying and victimization. How good is it to drive a fake bus and collect all the luck of the suspicious passengers to buy lotto tickets.

• "Gossip" EP2 is derived from the word "satisfactory divorce" that sounds extremely contradictory. Nomura Zhouping has too few scenes, and Masanobu Ando has passed the "appreciation period" a little. It is obviously not enough to rely on Junpei Mizota.
• "The True Murderer FLAG" EP11-12, the second half of the "truth chapter" was broadcast, and Karina first came into contact with Nishijima Hidetoshi. Akimoto Kang seems to want to use "new religion" to explain all the intricate lines in one fell swoop, which is a bit foul and a bit lazy. "The Drifter" does the same thing.
• "Peach Plum" EP13-16 satirizes the Japanese workplace dinner, saying that subordinates listen to their bosses complain and brag about themselves, just like psychological counseling. The humorous passages are repeated.
• "Ryunosuke Shenmu's Short Break" EP2 invited Cheng Hai Lizi to make a cameo to tell a campus romance that spanned time.

※Review※

• "JIN Renyi" S2EP5-7 introduces the "correction power" of history, and Ren once again falls into self-doubt. The lead poisoning part in Kabuki explores the length and meaning of life; the trip to Nagasaki examines death through war; the wild wind wedding part focuses on the inheritance of life. The themes of the 3 episodes are close, and each of the main characters has colorful passages: the change and improvement of the state of mind of benevolence; the new year of Ryoma firmly uniting Japan and building a community; Ye Feng knows that there is no relationship between benevolence and benevolence, and sacrifices his life to give birth to a child to fulfill benevolence The true love; Saki volunteered to deliver Ye Feng's birth, taking care of the foreshadowing of the self-proclaimed midwife in S1.

• "Even so, life goes on" EP9, Wen Zai went home and told the truth about her mother's suicide. The hero and heroine expressed their thoughts at the same time, and Futaba took the fruit knife and went to Innoshima to settle everything. Sakamoto Yuji left a classic line: The heart is given to us by the person we love the most.

• "Bitter Sugar" EP8: Ichiko let go of Asahi, and Kotaro appeared again; Mari was worried that Naito-san didn't mention marriage; Najin wanted to be a "supermodel", and everyone gathered at the school sports meeting.

• Image Century ⑥ Under the banner of independence, tells the story of the tortuous process of India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea, China and other Asian regions gradually getting rid of the control of foreign powers and embarking on the road of independence during the two wars.

• Faye Wong's 2nd Mandarin album "Sky" released in 1994 is highly regarded. Almost all 10 songs are original (the only cover song is the Mandarin version of "Dream Man" "Break Free"). Mystery" widened the distance, and also put aside the sense of platter of Cantonese albums over the years. "Sky" can be said to be the prelude of a series of Mandarin albums after 1997. However, due to the late start of Mandarin albums, Cantonese is slow in every aspect: the stage name Wang Jingwen is still in use, Lin Xi is absent, and elements such as Buddhism and psychedelics are missing. Before returning to "Obsessed with No Regrets", the character set took the route of innocence, infatuation, and bitterness.

• In 1995, Faye Wong released a cover of Teresa Teng's mandarin album "The Sound of Feminine".

absolute sense of language

• "WildNaShow" refers to the recent wave of name changes in the Japanese TV industry, and no longer uses "AD" to refer to assistant directors, because the word is used too negatively (low status, high pressure, unlimited overtime). The guests at the scene said it well, if you change the soup or not, is it really a boss when you call it "boss"?

Koshihikari study

• The 166th "Akutagawa and Naoki Awards" were announced, and Sunagawa Bunji, Imamura Shogo, and Yonezawa Honobu were awarded; Jin Yucheng's novel "Blossoming Flowers" launched a Japanese translation; Matsuura Yataro "100 Basics" published a new version.

• The 2022 "Bookstore Awards" announced 10 shortlisted works, and the results will be announced in April.

• Kodansha's signature women's fashion magazine "with", founded in 1981, suddenly announced its cessation. As a member of the editorial team of the former Chinese version of "Show With", hearing the news felt like the house and school I had lived in had been demolished. .

• Microsoft's gaming division Xbox announced the acquisition of Activision Blizzard at a sky-high price, causing a thousand waves, and SONY's stock price plummeted by nearly 10%. Microsoft has jumped to the third place in the game industry by market value through multiple acquisitions, behind Tencent and Sony.
