30 days meme #3: shuuden de kaerutteba ikebukuro
DAY 03 | FAVORITE TV SHOW DRAMA
It's called Ikebukuro West Gate Park, and people need to get on this shit, because...
#1 Nagase Tomoya stars.
That face, dat ass, and impeccable comedic timing on top of it all? Yes, please!
#2 Kubozuka Yosuke as a gangster.
His lips alone deserve a mention in the credits. Seriously, though, if you've seen Go, you know how fantastic an actor this kid is-- and if you haven't seen it, DO SO.
#3 Even Watanabe Ken is in on this party.
Ken: What? I am?!
Yes sir, you are!
Ken: Golly!
#4 ...And so is Tsumabuki Satoshi!
Satoshi: Do I look like a ho? Why u tryna pimp me out?
What I'm trying to say here is that the cast is damn good. Among other supporting cast members/guest stars are Koyuki, Oguri Shun, Sato Ryuta, and Sakai Wakana...

Pubescent Yamapi: ONE DAY I'M GONNA BE FAMOUS, YOU'LL SEE
Shush, Pi.
#5 People in this drama actually have sex.
None of that you-want-my-tongue-to-do-what closed-mouth kissing bullshit here. There's also prostitution, gang violence, seduction, and deception; as far as dramas go, it's gritty stuff.
In conclusion: IWGP is GOOD SHIT
What are your favorite Japanese dramas?
I'll put them on my to-watch list for after I get through Buzzer Beat and Love Shuffle.
