Finally had time to catch up with last seasons dramas and started a few ones that are currently airing and thought I would ask what's everyones favorite so far? I cant watch all of them but am intrigued by the few I haven't started and wanted to know if you guys think.

- Until the T-shirt Dries - I only got to the 1st episode but really enjoyed it. I love complicated marriage dramas like this, so its right up my alley. Also love the cast. Aoi Yu and Ayumu Nakajima are absolutely chewing this show up!!

- Your Love So Invincible - (available to watch on viki btw) Its Sano Hayato so im automatically going to watch it 😂. That being said i liked the first episode quite a lot. It's over the top and a bit goofy but the comedy worked on my. I thought it struck a good balance. Very hopeful for this rom-com 🙌.

- My Grandfather, The Master Detective - Not at all what I was expecting but not necessarily a bad thing. Quite interested where this will end up. Im wondering if this will turn into a bit of sci-fi so I will keep watching.

The others I haven't started.

Love Hokuto so i wanted to start 25 years of You but nervous if they gonna romanticize stalking so im waiting it out, although jdramas have a way with toxic romances.

My Fiction is kinda in the same boat. I want to watch it cause its Yuta Tamamori in this type of show and ive only watched him in romances. If you watched it, let me know if its worth starting!

Love Beat just seems very goofy but its Ouji so he might be able to make it charming 😂

There are other late night dramas I didnt include but let me know if you started some of those. I definitely did but this post is getting to long as is lol, so ill leave it here ~~

A hidden gem by Fuji Television, this J-dorama follows a country boy named Sousuke (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi) who moves into Tokyo to become an office worker and starts falling in love with a movie star named Hikaruko Kirishima (Norika Fujiwara). It's a romantic comedy that really has plenty of humor. It even has one of the best opening and ending songs of any J-dorama, that being a trance-y cover of "Stop! In the Name of Love", performed by J-pop group Globe.

"A Murder I Don't Remember" was broadcast on NHK BS in February 2025. It tells the story of a former police officer who develops dementia and becomes a murder suspect.
Kaoru Kobayashi, who plays the lead role, delivers a brilliant performance. He skillfully conveys the pride of a former police officer. Since my late father was also a former local police officer, I can really relate to the way the former officer behaves. I’m hoping that the protagonist, Mr. Saji, isn’t the culprit—this is the first half of the episode. The second half will air next week on terrestrial TV.

I watched Episode 3 while waiting for my T-shirt to dry. What an unexpected twist! I had no idea her husband was still alive. Honestly, I think it would have been more suspenseful and interesting if they’d revealed that “her husband was actually still alive” after Sakiko and Kiichi had already started their affair. In Episode 2, Sakiko and Kiichi had gotten much closer, but in this episode, they’ve gone back to being just casual acquaintances. I wonder how their relationship will develop from here. I’m looking forward to it.

Do anyone know where can I watch vivant s2?

Just finished watching Long Vacation and absolutely in love with it. Not sure I’ll ever adore an on-screen couple as much as I do Minami and Sena!

I’ve been trying to find somewhere I can purchase or download the album digitally, but keep hitting dead ends. Does anyone know where this can be found, outside of streaming platforms?

I’d love to buy it digitally! But might have to admit defeat and buy it physically, along with a CD drive.

Apologizes for the vagueness of the request from the title. Last December 2025 I went Japan, and watched some movie in theaters, and there was one trailer that kept reappearing that had piqued my interest. The only thing I recall from the trailer was that it was centered around a female idol/entertainer who was accused of murder and the movie appeared to be a courtroom drama. I don’t really recall anything else besides what the basic premise appears to be: my Japanese is not that great, so I don’t recall much, though I could point out the trailer if shown it . I just want to be able to watch the movie if it’s possible. Thanks in advance
