galileo's sexy voice and robo
watching two somewhat similar, yet different dramas: detective galileo, which is still airing in japan, and sexy voice and robo.
galileo stars kou shibasaki as a rookie detective utsumi, and the evergreen masaharu fukuyama as the eccentric professor yukawa. together, they solve crime mysteries using science. sounds like the Trick series. anyway, what's great about this show is the great chemistry between the two leads. yukawa is calm, rational, while utsumi is impulsive and irrational. they make an unlikely pair, and certainly encounter some interesting mysteries. they also have guest stars like ryoko hirosue, suzuka ohgo and maki horikita.
sexy voice and robo is adapted from a manga about a spy team consisting of a girl who has an acute sense of hearing and the ability to manipulate her voice(sexy voice) and an otaku (robo). ohgo suzuka is niko(sexy voice), while kenichi matsuyama, L in Deathnote, is robo. again, they are a very unlikely pair. niko is rather mature for her age(she's a middle-schooler and ohgo herself is only 14), even if she is prone to showing her vulnerability as a kid sometimes, while robo is just like a kid. unlike galileo, they dun really solve cases, but carry out tasks given by an eccentric antique trader, with the help of her joker sidekick Yocchan(okada yoshinori). i think yocchan and robo provide comic relief, in robo's case, especially when niko's elder sister kasumi (murakami eri) comes into the picture.
what i really like about this is niko's random musings. they really reflect a young person trying to fathom the world, and it's very real as well.
"because happiness comes in different forms to different people, our paths are separate."
"We didnt think that would be our last time. It wasnt because we fought or because someone moved away. We just ended up not seeing each other again. Probably we thought we could always meet."
incidentally, ohgo suzuka was the young zhang ziyi in memoirs of a geisha. interestingly, she is a left-hander.
