Thanks for the comprehensive retrospective on Aoi Miyazaki's work! Of those, I've only seen Nana. As for Virgin Snow, I believe we have the DVD at home but I haven't yet watched it - maybe our version doesn't have the English subs.

And as for Eita, I've also seen him in Last Friends. Must say I really enjoyed that series.

Hi flowerbossa,

Thanks for introducing Aoi Miyazaki. I saw her Atsuhime posters everywhere last year in Tokyo. Cloudnine had mentioned to me about this long running NHK traditional drama. I am happy that it has English subtitles. I love watching the court life and the beautiful costumes they wear. Thanks and have a nice weekend!

love .... jaime

Hi gosijo,

WOW, so you've watched NANA!
Did you like it?
I hear Aoi turned down the offer for the sequel - probably a smart choice^^

I really liked LAST FRIENDS too!
A few of the NODAME cast was in that one. Juri Ueno's performance was pretty amazing.

I added a photo of the cast as a souvenir (o^∀^o)

love,

konnnichiwa Jaime-san,

Atsuhime is one of my favorite of the TAIGA series. The drama has to have substantial appeal to get the audience to watch it for a whole year^^

...have to admit I slowly retired from this year's series^^;

Hope you enjoy watching Atsuhime!

love,
