Nagase's Hakusen Nagashi,
D x D, Days, and Ring
Saishusho are good dramas. Matsuoka's Love And
Peace, Heaven Can't Wait, and Psychometrer Eiji are worth watching. Yamaguchi's newest drama,
Kizu Darake No Onna, is rated 4-stars by J!-ENT.
Kokubun plays a rookie cop in Seiji no Mikata. His
other performances include Ogon BOKYABURA Tengoku
(variety show), Kenshui Nanako,
GuruGuru Ninety-Nine (comedy sketch show), and
Oshigoto Desu!. Joshima stars in Tenshi No Shigoto
as well as other dramas like Makasete Darling,
Hagure Keiji Junjouha. Nagase's semi-new drama is called Sunano Ue No Koibito Tachi. He co-stars Honjo Manami and Okina Megumi. Nagase's newest drama Ikebukuro West Gate Park has a pretty decent cast consisting of young actors/actresses such as Nagase himself, Kato Ai, Kubozuka Yousuke, and Tsumabuki Satoshi. Matsuoka's Eiji 2 seems very promising to me because there are a lot of handsome new faces in there (for example, Makoto). I think Matsuoka's performance here is better than his previous performance in Eiji 1. His recent drama is Shokatsu, co-starring Tanaka Misako. Kokubun's recent performance is in the drama Bus Stop.
