Ueno Juri & Tamaki Hiroshi in Bistro SMAP (english subbed)
Tamaki is just hilarious. Watch his expression everytime he tried the food. LOL
In a quiz show:
LOL.
Both advertising NEC PC with Windows Vista:
LOL. Microsoft should've done the same thing here. Instead, they hired Jerry Seinfeld to do some confusing ads.
Didn't realize Tamaki Hiroshi is a singer too.

Zettai Kareshi
Finished watching the last episode of Zettai Kareshi dorama. Thanks to SARS-fansub for subbing the drama.
As a drama, Zetai Kareshi is so so. The first couple episodes don't really hook you in. Plus, if you already read the manga, you are going to be disappointed by the changes in characters, especially Soshi's. Half-way through, the drama turned out to be okay, providing the typical comedy and emotions. As usual, there is no "happily ever after" in J-dorama, giving the usual tears here and there. So, it's an ok drama.
However, if we look Zettai Kareshi as a sci-fi, it's awesome. Despite being a drama, there are plenty of science fiction in this. Do robots have emotion? Free will? Can a robot fall in love? Is it right to scrap a robot that have a free will? These are all hard core sci-fi material. You gotta hand it to the Japanese to handle anything robot related properly. This is an awesome sci-fi experience, especially the last episode, disguised as a dorama based on a shoujo manga.
Disappointed with the mess of Will Smith's "I, Robot" movie? If you can get over the dorama factor, Zettai Kareshi is probably closer to the idea and spirit of Asimov's "I, Robot" than Will Smith's movie. Unfortunately, the chance of a western sci-fi fan watching a Japanese dorama is pretty slim (I'm the exception).

Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend)
DramaWiki
A new J-dorama, based on the manga by Yuu Watase. Alas, the characters are not high schoolers, but turned into working adults in the dorama. The manga is cuter. Still, it's fun seeing a manga turned into a live-action dorama. Oh, and Kamen Rider Kabuto is here too. LOL. Tendou Souji (Mizushima Hiro)becomes Asamoto Soshi.
A clip from Kamen Rider Kabuto, where his hair is still "in order."
As for fansub of Zettai Kareshi, get it from SARS fansub.
