Sakiboku!
After a year, here I am again! Honestly, I have been out of loop with Arashi, especially the variety show since most subbers stop subbing and I don't know where to get the newest sub for variety show.
Sho's last drama was Kazoku Game and it was epic! Hands down! It was definitely one of his best dramas and the best character that he ever played! Sho is not the strongest actor in Arashi, but I can definitely see the improvement in his acting skills. I also love how fussy he is when choosing a drama. We can definitely see the variety of roles that he has played throughout his acting career.
To know that the character was written specifically for him made the drama more meaningful.
In my opinion, Sakiboku hits me in the heart since I am a teacher. I understood the dilemma, especially for teachers who are teaching in private school, like me. Budget is always an issue and teachers are restricted by it. But, the in order to change a school, the leader, that is the principal must lead and it makes Narumi different from the normal principal that people usually meet. He believes in his plans and he is not afraid to learn the new world that he had been thrown into. He listens to the teachers' opinion and he shows results.
It is interesting, watching Narumi faces all the problems in each episode and how he overcomes it. Sakiboku is definitely a good and quality drama. It teaches you so many things.
