Nice work, bubu! Thanks for the good news about the return of this charming little drama for another season. People complain about the lack of wholesome family entertainment on tv just aren't looking in the right places or rattling the right cages. There's still a bit of magic in that old bell yet!

I'm already looking forward to Episode 3...
I was just looking over the Supporting Cast & Guests listing, and saw that Saotome Taichi will appear in that episode. I hope they will feature a dance number in the episode.
Only sixteen years old, he's already an extremely popular onnagata (female impersonator) with a huge fan following.
I didn't know it at the time, but I first saw him in 2003 as a child geisha, in the Takeshi Kitano film, Zatoichi. Then I saw him perform at last years Kohaku, and was completely blown away at just how talented of a dancer he is.
Official Website: http://www.taiching.jp/ (Japanese)
Official Blog: http://www.taichi-blog.jp/ (Japanese)
Some clips from YouTube:
• Saotome Taichi - Yozakura Oshichi MV
• 58th Kohaku with Sakamoto Fuyumi
• Santaku 2008, the annual TBS New Years special variety show.
In these clips, the hosts, Akashiya Sanma and Kimura Takuya get tips on becoming onnagata. (Kimu-taku is actually pretty good!)

Re: J-Drama: 浅草ふくまる旅館 (Asakusa Fukumaru Ryokan - Season 2)
bubu,
Loved this post and watched the youtube clips. I am not surprised that Kimura san can do this so well. I have his photobook made about ten years ago and he was then doing onnegata type photos as a Shanganese 'lady of the night' .. He looked so genuine that if you didn't know ahead of time, then you would think you were looking at a fabulous woman in gorgeous clothes of the thirties. A real femme fatale....
Kimura san is a wonderful mimic and impressionist even without any makeup or special clothes. His presentation as that older actor who played a unique type of detective, was incredible. His face was changed without makeup and it was the older actor exactly. Don't know how he did it. Can't think of the name..began with 'M'...?
What talent from the young sixteen year old dancer. Such dedication at that age is rare.

Thank you again for those youtube clips bubu. I was really impressed with the way they made even Sanma behave himself. He usually plays the comic side of anything and laughs his head off. This time I think he tried hard to be respectful and Kimura certainly played the role seriously. He indeed looked pretty good and moved rather well don't you think??
Wish I could find the complete Santaku programme.
Peg
