Ren'aishinto 恋愛新党 eps10.1
Quite fun actually. I have to worry for his voice whenever Sakai san shouts, though. It is of great pleasure to watch another side of the actor. The show seems to lie in the tradition of Japanese sitting comedy (I forgot what you call it). The character of the male secretary who always stands anxious behind the curtain, saying "It is because of Ikemen." seems so familar. Perhas I have seen something similar in a Japanese cartoon.
Anyway, a clever show advertising plus entertaining.

Yukikaze ゆきかぜ 雪風
Sakai san can make his voice this beautiful! And marvellous voice acting which looks truely professional. Just one thing that bothers me... The title Yuki Kaze keeps reminding me of Kami Kaze invented during the World War II. Hope the ghost of imperialist war machinery as such will not haunt any of us any more. I was very happy when Sakai san as Iesada in Atsuhime said: "I don't like things about fighting. Not interested in a win-and-loose game." Bravo, sakai san. That is exactly why I wasn't interested in playing Go when I was a little kid. I used to play Itsutsu (Korean people call it omok), instead.
A war craft can never be a fairy in this real world. Perhaps, that is why Fukai played by Sakai sang looks a cynic.

Even the presenter says he likes actors like Sakai sang. So do I.

Yamanami's death (Shinsengumi)
Yamanami Keisuke commits seppuku in the Episode 33 of the 2004 NHK Taiga drama "Shinsengumi."
I couldn't be tempted in any case to highlight this kind of event if Sakai sang's acting had failed to make the scene such a sublime piece. Irresistible! (He looks even sexy… ^^)
In memory of Zhang Guolong (Leslie Cheung)
After I succeeded to have my early retirement (?) recently I have made a list of what I may want to do before I become 40. One of the very few items on the list is about having blogs for something I can enjoy. The moment when I saw Zhang Guolong’s photo on a newspaper sold at a shabby newsstand around a corner of Beijing has ever been engraved in my mind. It was 1 April 2003 as known... just like that. I was stuck before him smiling inside a photo frame surrounded by beautiful white Jasmine. I still regret that I had never tried hard to squeeze out time and fly to Hong Kong to see him sing on the stage before he left us, but too late.
Now time for praxis though history repeats itself! Hope I won’t be too lazy again and will have my job done well for this blog while Sakai sang shines and breathes with us.
