Hi..I believe j-dramas disappeared from Singapore due to copyright problems tho I'm not exactly sure. Anyway I think Taiwan's the best place to buy japanese vcds since most of the vcds in the market are produced by Taiwanese companies.

hi! warhero200, hmm...so far, i don't think there's a sequel to Good Luck...the other recent drama that Takuya Kimura acted in is Pride. I liked that very much too. Takuya is the captain of an ice hockey team and Yuko Takeuchi is the lead actress .....they look v good together & the sports-theme is quite refreshing. The supporting actors are good too!

Yo! Dabbies....the older jdrama vcds like Big Wing may be rather difficult to find in the stores now....but i think you may be able to find sellers in the sgp yahoo auctions?

I must say Kassy didn't seem to get many opportunities of playing lead roles in the recent years? Though he appeared in a couple of dramas like Orange Days, Itsumo Futari de (2 episodes only), Love Quotient, he's not exactly the lead actor. Quite sad! He's actually a good actor. So i'm definitely looking forward to the release of Shukumei (Su Ming)!!

As for Naohito's previous dramas, he also acted in Hatsu Taiken, Antique Cake Shop & Love Revolution. And i thot all these are quite good

Thankx, g@me sounds very nice although i dun really like tat female lead, muz really buy the vcd. Hmm the High Sch Tcher and Big Wing Vcd are found in malaysia by my friend, dun tink I dun tink SGP sell them. You can find Naohito's Nurse no oshigoto movie vcd in SGP. I tink naohito oso acted in Hatsu Taiken( Zhu ti yan), Nurse no oshigoto 4 tv series, PlatonicSex(episode 2) and the older ones are GTO, PS Wo heng hao Jun PIng....can be found in : http://over-time.idv.tw/cast/castshow_common.php?num=156.... I tink the only on that can be found in SGP is Itoshi Kimie.

Kassy does not have any major role in recent years production but mayb due to his health too, quite sad:( , he is one of my favourite actor. I've bought Orange Days but have not watch it i was very lucky coz it is the last box ... I am looking forward to "Su Ming" too coz both my fav jap actors are in the show !!!

[ashley]

Actually I thought in Itsumo Futari de, Kassy had very gd chemistry with Matsu Takako..better than Sakaguchi Kenji in fact. Now that he's got married (correct?) and his health has gotten much better, we can prob see him in more dramas.

[enen_shun]

yup ~~ he juz got married not long ago ...

Welcome to the forum.. heh. Anyway, the jdramas 'disappeared' because of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Singapore and Japan. Apparently all the vcds that we've been buying are imports from Taiwan, and they're all pirated copies. (Though I must say very professionally done... I didn't realise it until it was revealed) The folks over at Japan were not too happy that we were selling pirated imported J dramas... so in line with the FTA... we had to stop these imports.

But as we all know, Jdramas are making a comeback (original copies, i think). And I hope that more will come in soon. So you can get back to Jdrama-ing again huh?

[warhero200]

oh haha..thanks for the info..

anw, y dont u guys buy on yahoo singapore forum??

^ wah...u buy for cheery ah? So nice...next time ask u buy also
Is Hatsu Taiken nice? Next time u watch finish, tell me

[kawai]

I'm in Sinagpore also.
And I've brought some dorama DVD that's having the same quality that you see in amazon.jp

It's just a direct rip of the japanese version DVD with all the specials included, plus the traditional chinese/simplifed chinese/japanese (for deaf people) subtitle switchable

Yes, if you ask me it's the best of both world. Best video quality and chinese subtitle from kiwi.
