Medley077~July new Japanese drama outlook

When sorting out this issue of the "Weekly News", I saw the news of Abe's attack. What was once thought to be certain is destined to peel off and collapse little by little, this is probably the only truth in the chaotic world. Come on, let's go and see the summer file.

Love Tibetan Japan

• It is said that Japan's minimum wage will continue to rise by 3% this year, and the relatively rapidly rising daily expenses seem a little insignificant. Looking at the world, the hourly salary of 930 yen is considered low, and it is about 2,000 in New York, London, Australia, etc. Of course, after deflation in the past 20 or 30 years, the overall price is still at a low level. The national average price of a ramen and soba noodles is less than 650 yen (more than 30 yuan).
• Apple in Japan announced in July that the prices of its iPhone and iPad products would increase across the board, filling the price depression formed by the depreciation of the Japanese currency. The new price has been raised by about 20,000 yen (about 1,000 yuan), with a maximum increase of 25%, and many second-hand stores have also adjusted their prices.

Japanese drama world

• Entering July, summer Japanese dramas have been broadcast one after another. According to the liking of the cast and the behind-the-scenes team, the 21 episodes to be watched are pre-arranged and adjusted later (tier list 13.0), among which: Yuji Sakamoto's new work "The Devil of First Love" is temporarily ranked S-level ; Two TBS dramas are listed as A-level; most of the rest are in C-level; Ayano Gangri 9 becomes the first abandoned drama of the season.

※Always※

• "If there is a next life" EP4-7 is over, I took the time to finish this, one of the few masterpieces in the spring. Matsusaka Keiko's "Twilight Love" is not the main line of the play, and the unfulfilled relationship with an old colleague ended with a kiss. The second half talked about Feng Chuanchun's choice to raise her daughter alone, the divorce of her sister and her husband, and her husband being deceived by investing in the blockchain... The whole play shows a variety of marriage and emotional situations, which are quite inspiring. The disadvantage is that the leftist political correctness represented by the two granddaughters is annoying.
• After the EP11 of "The Giants and Giants", the female power has awakened, the master has lost power, and his memory has been restored. That's about it, what else is missing? And, why can Abe Hiroshi play a Roman, but why can't Take Caikunosuke play a Saudi Arabian?

※Continued review※

• "13 retainers of Kamakura" EP26, continues to tell about the open and secret struggles of the major families after the fall of the horse. Shun Oguri said goodbye to his sister, Eiko Koike, on the grounds that the affairs of Kamakura have been running steadily, and it may not be necessary for him.
• "Xing Xinyi Short Story Collection" EP13 frozen time, please come to Murakami Jun, the shape of the transformed person is a bit simple.
• "Eye Wall" EP2-3, Kotaro Koizumi came to the Moon World to investigate, and it was the nightclub manager who defrauded the check. After several fights, Koizumi was wanted for unwarranted suspicion. The escape scene is superfluous and unreasonable from the current point of view, but the part where the minister's wife informs is wonderful.
• "The Lost Boys" EP2, Kitamura Yukiya and Igawa Haruka guest starred. The opposite scenes between Taga Nakano and Hoika Matsumoto made this episode "good" (the meaning of easy is more) to watch a lot. There is a fine line between pursuit and harassment.

• "Filling the Gap" EP2, coming back from the dead may not be a good thing, maybe only my mother is happy in my heart. The author explores the meaning of life and the connotation of happiness through this setting, and the starting point is a good one. A lot of words and words have been said for a long time, and they need to be polished like this when they are worn out.
• "Chair" EP6, this drama always exudes a supernatural and desolate tone, so it is reasonable to have a bloody case. Ao Nakamura makes a cameo.

※Review※

• "LEGAL HIGH" S2EP3, a divorce lawsuit caused by plastic surgery, the plot design is quite satisfactory, the discussion of the boundary is in the sentence, 10 years ago, Gu Ze naturally couldn't imagine that the uncle locomotive can turn into a sweetheart girl through the APP.
• "The Penultimate Love" S2EP2, Qian Ming and Heping each developed a rivalry with the newly added character. On the other hand, Noriko mistakenly thought that her husband was going to buy a house for herself, and Zhenping stepped down as an angel and maladapted.
• "One hundred million stars fell from the sky" EP2, the identity of Fukatsu Eri (tutor), the origin of the arm scar, and the triangular relationship with Igawa Haruka and Kimura Takuya are explained in this episode. Kimura played on the field and threw away the souvenir letter from Miyu, which was just right.

※other※

• "Westworld" S4EP2, the context of the second week is much clearer, the villains' plan is to replace the big man with a receptionist, and use flies to invade the brain to control what is not in the database. The new park pays tribute to The Great Gatsby, gorgeous.
• Continue to review Wong Kar Wai, watch "In the Mood for Love" this week, and "2046" next week. The aesthetics of this film is undoubtedly the pinnacle, and it is easy to see the shadow of Eileen Chang: Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung took a taxi, thinking it was Mr. Yi and Wang Jiazhi. In addition, Wong Kar-wai also incorporates the advantages of the previous works: Pan Dihua's old Shanghai style in "The True Story of Ah Fei", the bridge section of sneaking into the room in "Chongqing Forest", and the rushing waterfall in "Springtime" is replaced by an ancient one Angkor... From love to life and times, all the waiting, missing, and leaving are heartwarming and memorable.

※New drama※

• Sakamoto Yuji's new drama "The Devil of First Love" released the main visual poster and started the countdown.
• Nakazono Miho will not write "Doctor-X" this year, and will create a new medical drama in October, and Nakai Guiichi will cooperate with Okada Masao.

absolute sense of language

• Tokyo has worked hard to deal with the declining birthrate, and recently announced that it will advocate for all walks of life to change the name of "Yuchou" (parenting leave) to "Yuye" (child-rearing business), so as to lower the psychological threshold for taking leave. Although it is only a word difference, the idea is correct, and the name is not correct.

digital garden

• Of course I don't want to shop when I'm locked at home, I want to buy things as soon as I get out. I'm going to change my camera in the near future, and the M2 MacBook Air will go on sale on Friday night.
