Medley079～First Love Demon vs Shizi Yuo

Pick up the scythe and see the wheat field - I have forgotten where I first read this sentence. After replacing the main daily machine from the iPad Pro to the M2 version of the MacBook Air, it is obvious that the "scythe" in the hand is getting sharper and sharper, and the "wheat field" as far as the eye can see also spreads out. Therefore, the upgrading of digital equipment is the so-called "sharp weapon" process in ancient times.

Love Tibetan Japan

• In "Fantasy Paradise", Matsuko talked to Ariyoshi about social phenomena such as the lack of interest in love and marriage among contemporary Japanese young people, and the continuous increase in the "career unmarried rate". Matsuko said: Compared with a few years ago, people who are now chasing fashion clothes and hairstyles are obviously The decrease reflects the growing indifference of "courtship consciousness". This is true. When I was an editor in a Japanese women's fashion magazine more than 10 years ago, most of them were topics that taught people how to be "popular" and "feminine".

Japanese drama world

• Japanese drama recommendation ranking list (tier list 13.1) update: 3 summer episodes, such as 9th and 9th, are abandoned in the D area; 2 are temporarily listed in the S area; The "Unicorn" of 2019 ranks in Zone A; "Roppongi CLASS" and "Tutor Torako" follow closely; and several films that have not yet started broadcasting are listed in Zone C.

※Always※

• "The Devil of First Love" EP1, the new work of Yuji Sakamoto in 2022, the starring lineup of Lin Qiandu, Nakano Taga, Matsuoka Moyu, and Hiromoto Yu is a young version of the "quartet", with Tanaka Yuko participating in the lineup. Banyuan rarely tried mainstream entertainment themes such as criminal investigation and reasoning. The first week was quite satisfactory. People on the edge of the police station recognized each other, started brainstorming, and solved cases virtually. The most resonant detail is that Xiao Niao (Haramoto) ignored the person who called him by the wrong name (mistakenly called Kojima). I remember the first time I went to school in junior high school, the class director called me wrong, and I didn't answer her .

• "Stone and Feather Boy" EP1, the only work this season that is likely to compete with Sakamoto, the screenwriter of Seishi Nishida, the cooperation of Jun Kasumi Arimura, and the first week of the client Chi Chu Wei Er joined the team with the case. The same is a legal drama, this one is similar in structure to "LEGAL HIGH", and I look forward to the follow-up plot to be unique. It is worth mentioning that the shooting framing, small clothing items, indoor scenery and other aspects are extremely elegant, and the color matching is even more pleasing to the eye.

• "Magic Transformation" EP1, this decoration drama by Haru and Shotaro Mamiya is a "Dream Transformer" with a plot.
• "Pure Love Discord" EP1, the story of a music teacher eloping with a middle school girl. Yoshikawa Ai (Yoshida Liqin) has a much smoother career than Urakami Shengzhou.

• "The Gatekeeper of Competition" EP1, Xing cooperated with Kentaro Sakaguchi, and the level of 9 in the past 3 films has plummeted.

• After EP8 of "Chair", Ji Zhishu extended his brushstrokes to the field of virtual space and video games, which is another response to the epidemic. This kind of philosophical, abstract and ethereal work can only be photographed by NHK now.
• After "Eye Wall" EP5, the raging fire is the beginning and the end of this story. At the end of the film, Koizumi explained the title of the play with a narration, which seems to make sense in any social suspense.

※Continued review※

• "Kamakura 13 Kasen" EP27, the 13-member list has finally been released, and new faces such as Ogami Matsuya have joined.

• "Roppongi CLASS" EP2, I haven't read the original version, I don't know if the protagonist's imprisonment, release, overseas, and shop opening are so short and fast. The two episodes have sorted out 10 years of grievances. The mouth movements of Kagawa Teruyuki when he spoke already had the shadow of Akira Ikegami.

• "Filling the Blank" EP3, the protagonist was invited to the resort to participate in the "Resurrection Association" activities, interspersed with deep thinking about the meaning of life: For example, in the author's opinion, death has been given too heavy meaning, it is nothing more than people's life It's just one of countless decisions and events. The mysterious man (Sadao Abe) drops a shocking bomb for the plot.
• "The Lost Boys" EP4, this episode mainly tells the emotional life of the protagonist, and the child star Ito Sally has a growing sense of presence.

※Review※

• "LEGAL HIGH" S2EP5, the explosive lawsuit of the stationery company, Kunimura Hayabusa guest starred as Dad Dai.
• "The Penultimate Love" S2EP4, the script goes hand in hand with multiple lines, and the theme closely revolves around the love of the body and the love of the spirit. Koizumi Kyoko said that the script written by Ryo Kase was so boring that she didn't know what to say, and Okada Megumi wasn't being polite.
• "One hundred million stars fell from the sky" EP4, Kimura Takuya told Eri Fukatsu about his unbearable childhood experience, even if she became a thorn in the eyes of Koh Shiba. The secret that siblings are not biological is also revealed in this episode.

※other※

• "The Ultimate List" EP1-8 is over, the Amazon drama starring "Star Lord" Pratt, the Marine Corps legend embarks on a revenge journey for his wife and daughter. Narrative skills mainly rely on PTSD and brain glioma. Fortunately, he has no contact with the president, otherwise the president will die.
• "Westworld" S4EP3-4, two episodes of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun. Perhaps the biggest key to this season is that the main characters enter different timelines through growth, resurrection, hibernation, etc.
• Revisiting Wong Kar-wai's 2004 film "2046", the narrative ambition is bigger than "In the Mood for Love", but it falls into the "Chongqing Forest" style. Gong Li, Faye Wong, Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung are interspersed with three relatively independent stories. Kimura Takuya, Carina Lau, and Zhang Zhen became foils.

※New drama※

• In 2023, Dahe Drama will release the fourth batch of cast members, with Keiko Kitagawa, Miku Shida, Junpei Mizobata, Lily Frank, and Atsushi Watanabe joining the cast, as well as S2 Akira Kakuta in "Soy Tiansan's Ex-husband".
• NETFLIX will also launch a work written by Yuji Sakamoto, starring Miyazaki Aoi and Yoshizawa Ryo, directed by the director of "Soy Tiansan's ex-husband".

Koshihikari study

• The 167th "Akutagawa and Naoki Awards" was announced last night, and Takase Hayako and Kubo Meicheng won the laurels.

absolute sense of language

• Matsuko and Ariyoshi talked about new buzzwords in "Fantasy Paradise", criticizing TV stations for abusing Internet words and overly catering to the younger generation in production. Matsuko even pointedly said that the "uncles" of the TV station are even lower than the social average. Variety shows are like this, how can dramas be an exception.
