HERO
Hero rocks. i am glad i somehow managed to catch the tv special when it aired on tv a few weeks ago. i wonder why i nv watched the series itself.
even though hero was always going to revolve around takuya kimura, i must say the rest of the cast did a great job too. it just wouldnt be the same without them, both the original cast(abe hiroshi, nene otsuka, fumiyo kohinata etc) as well as the newcomers(ryoko kuninaka, koshiro matsumoto, ayase haruka.) interestingly, koshiro matsumoto is matsu takako's father.
LBH fans might be disappointed, cos as much as they tout his participation, his screentime was really limited.
in terms of content, there is some continuity from the drama special, so it certainly helps if you have watched it.
and like many japanese movies/dramas, it not only entertains, but still has time to drive home a very important message. takuya kimura's impassioned speech towards the end really leaves an impression.
i think i like japanese movies (and dramas) because they go for your heart, rather than for your eyes. or maybe we are just on the same wavelength; a tacit understanding exists.
i should have bought that tag with kuryu kohei's name for myself as well, when i was at fujitv.
