Sexy Acting and Robo (manga on TV)
There are clear advantages to living in a place like San Francisco. The weather is good. Usually around the low 60's 10 months of the year, in the 40's for one month and in the high 80's for one month. The food out here might be expensive but lord you can find anything out here. Turkish, Thai, Lebanese, Nepalese, Eritrean or Peruvian can be found in a small 7 mile by 7 mile city with good to kill for quality. I mean I can go to at least 15 places in a 20 minute bike ride for Korean Hot Tofu Soup!!

Another good thing about the Bay Area is TV. I can see Japanese dramas translated for free without using a bittorrent. Nodame Cantabile is currently airing and so is Dr. Cotoo's Clinic on local TV. Team Medical Dragon ended a few months back. And now I am begging on my knees for a title to be translated this April/May. And something tells me some of you will be joining me.

2006 Yomi Winner Sexy Voice and Robo (best short series/Koruda Iou) is going to be adapted as a live drama starting April 23. The series will run weekly Tuesdays on Nippon TV. Robo will be played by manga reader and robot otaku Matsuyama Kenichi . No news about who will be playing the role of Hayashi Nico yet. Anyone wants to put up some guesses??



Not sure if I can see this guy as mecha-otaku Robo. I mean check out the amount of work put into his hair!!

By the way, you could see Matsuyama in Linda, Linda, Linda as well as the DeathNote movie and the Nana movie (he played Shin in that one).

He's completely wrong for the role. The Japanese suck at these sorts of movies. :(

Why, oh why, don't SF stations broadcast strong enough for my measely rabbit ears to pick up these things? Stupid south bay airwaves. I want random Japanese dramas too!

She's played by Ohgo Suzuka who was the young Sayuri in "Memoirs of a Geisha". I saw the episode yesterday and was very impressed with it.

You can see some screen shots of the first episode at

You can download it and Liar Game right now, both aired the first episode have been fan subbed also if you need English subs. Toda Erica stars in Liar Game. I'd really like to read that manga but it has been translated. You can find links to download at my Blog. I really enjoyed the first episode of Sexy Voice, I haven't watched Liar Game yet, tonight after work I will.
