A Koala's Playground Posted on June 21, 2018 by ockoalaJune 21, 2018
Two people in professional attire smiling.

Wedding bells are confirmed to be ringing soon in J-ent as a very eligible top Japanese actor bachelor is now off the available list. Tamaki Hiroshi will be marrying Japanese actress Kinami Haruka this year and both agencies have confirmed the news when it first broke as tabloid gossip. The two more recently worked together in April 2017 on the … Continue reading →

Japanese Female Viewers Love Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu by a Landslide for the Fall TV Season

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 8, 2014 by ockoalaDecember 8, 2014

Looks like I unexpectedly hitched myself to the breakout J-dorama hit of the fall season with Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu. It really is a surprise because renzouku doramas have not done well with ratings in Japan in over a decade, if not longer. Even my last J-dorama crack with Rich Man, Poor Woman did mostly low teens to high single … Continue reading →

Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu Episode 1 Recap

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 17, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 17, 2014

After two long years away from the urge to recap a J-dorama, the arrival of the romance-centric love triangle Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu (Today I Take the Day Off Work) flips the dormant switch right when I was mourning the lack of cracktastic offerings from Japan. Thanks to the collective charisma of Ayase Haruka, Fukushi Sota, and Tamaki Hiroshi, KwKY is … Continue reading →

New Rom-Com with Ayase Haruka, Fukushi Sota, and Tamaki Hiroshi Premieres Wednesday

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 15, 2014 by ockoalaOctober 15, 2014

This new J-dorama is coming in very low profile with the promotions but it’s high on my personal interest radar. The NTV dorama Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu (Today I’m Not Going to Work) is adapted from the popular shoujo manga of the same name and stars Ayase Haruka, Fukushi Sota, and Tamaki Hiroshi in an interesting love triangle of sorts. … Continue reading →

Ayase Haruka in a Love Triangle with Fukushi Sato and Tamaki Hiroshi in New Fall Renai Dorama

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 7, 2014 by ockoalaSeptember 7, 2014

Kyaaaaa, I cannot believe my J-dorama gods granted my prayers for the last month that the two leading men cast opposite Ayase Haruka in her new fall dorama would be right up my alley. The full casting news dropped this week for the live-action adaptation of the popular young ladies manga Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu (きょうは会社休みます translated as Today I … Continue reading →

The Assassins with Chow Yun Fat, Tamaki Hiroshi, and Crystal Liu Releases Trailer

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 1, 2012 by ockoalaSeptember 2, 2012

I used to watch a lot more HK and C-movies, but the quality has decreased across the board in terms of script and the productions these days tend to use flashy cinematography, special effects, and big stars to try mask its horrid or nonexistent story. I still think the foundation is there to make stellar movies, so I continue to … Continue reading →

A Look at the Leading Actors of Japanese Entertainment

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 2, 2011 by ockoalaOctober 3, 2011

A couple of months ago I did a write up on TW-actors and TW-actresses, which was relatively easy to do since there just aren’t that many of them occupying the perch as certifiable leads. The same isn’t true elsewhere, which is why I’ve been hesitant to attempt it for other industries. Nevertheless, I suddenly got the urge to run down … Continue reading →

Cast for Upcoming C-movie Tong Que Tai Confirmed with Chow Yun-fat, Yoon Eun Hye, Tamaki Hiroshi and Alec Su

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 13, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 13, 2011

Alrighty. After a month of whispering corridors and fan buzz, the Chinese newspapers have officially announced that the cast has been set for upcoming mega-budget period film Tong Que Tai (铜雀台) starring Chow Yun-fat as the elder Cao Cao, J-actor Tamaki Hiroshi as military official Mu Shun, Alec Su as Liu Xie (referred to in history as Han Xian Di … Continue reading →

A Star Studded Cast Gears Up for the 2012 Taiga Taira no Kiyomori

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 9, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 10, 2011

Who has watched a Taiga in your lifetime? Any Taiga will do. My last one was 2010’s Ryomaden due to my Fukuyama Masaharu bias, but I mostly skip all the ones in in the last decade or so. This year’s Taiga is the female-centric Gou headlining Ueno Juri, so it sorta makes sense that next year’s Taiga swings the opposite … Continue reading →
