Uta No O-Saikou!!

Ahh... O-Chan' drama finished the other week. My initial thoughts of it having the possibility of being crappy were thankfully off the mark... I really enjoyed it. It did have some cringeworthy moments though, but on the whole I liked seeing a lighter side of Ohno and the character seemed quite real - apart from the fact that someone that hot would not be without a girlfriend! I hated his ex-girlfriend - yet again a Japanese drama shows a female charcter in a really crappy light. She was easily manipulated into dumping her hot b.friend, chucking him out the band and then rubbing his face in their fame!!! Huh!!?? It's rare to see a female character who feels real - even the sister was just a typical 'mumsy' type character who didn't even get mad when smacked in the face by her brother! Who would not be totally pissed if their little brother whacked them AND ruined dinner at the same time!!

Anyway - enough ranting! I hope it isn't too long before O-Chan is doing something else - wouldn't it be great if he got the Monday - Fuji - 9pm slot!!? Would he be the first Arashi member to do that?? I think so.

I'd love to see him in a more romantic role - completely different to anything we've seen him do!
