For all Sho-kun has invested on this, all the effort, all the promotion, seriously it's worth it... because everybody should watch this! He is a great Kageyama and in comedy he is really good, but allow me to say that he simply is amazing here!!! I thought that being aired so close to Nazodi some people may have a problem changing from that character to this one, but not at all, there is no need of transition because the moment Blackboard started he wasn't Sho-kun or Kageyama or any body else, he became Shirahama sensei. I was speechless with the start and throughout it I kept being in awe of his work.

I cried, I worried, I got heartbroken... It's a fantastic drama, really touching telling a story of a man in a delicate/difficult moment in the story of Japan. I read, I think it was in the Cut interview (translated by lovely shojunniji), that he was interested because it was WWII and he liked it when he was a student and also war issues really matter to him... So this had all he had dreamt of and it gave him the chance (for being who he is) to reach viewers that maybe starring some other actor it wouldn't have been possible.

He is hurting so much during most of it trying to deal with his past for which he feels guilty (or seems so) and trying to see where he fits in the future...

Will just say this: there are a lot of scenes where you just want to hold him and tell him that everything will be okay. The moment with his mom (you'll know when you watch it) I was crying buckets!

There is this huge speech towards the end that I really wish I could get more of it... It's quite long and touching just for the way he delivers it but I didn't get too much. I had tears in my eyes anyway. And when he writes 'mirai' in the blackboard *cries* and what he says after that!! So beautiful!

I wrote in a previous post how he gave a book about Mindanao to the director of the drama and now I know why. It is supposed he lost his arm in that battle (I am currently reading about it at Wikipedia since although I love WWII, being in Europe we tend to focus in our front and the Pacific is a bit unknown to us).

I am not posting pics so I don't spoil too much. Just found funny that he even got the chance to speak English (the longest I've heard him!)

But please give this a chance, even if you don't like historic dramas or you think this is too serious for you, it is not! He is amazing! I won't get tired of saying so!

Well I am not making it justice anyway, but give it a try!

stuff removed and posted in a later post... sorry! (edited on April 7th)

I haven't decided my vote yet, which is strange, really, because last night I had it pretty clear, or at least the one I hated I had it pretty clear -it was number 4- but for some strange reason I am getting fond of it lol! I know I am sick or something...

Apart from that, some parts of the outfits reminds me of things or moments and now I can't make up my mind.

One thing lead to another...

Come on! Again so confusing...

I am too tired to guess right now... I like to think that 3 is Jun and 5 Sho disguised as Aiba (but Aiba-length-pants don't look too good on him, me thinks)... but actually Jun can be also 1 and 2... But something tells me *cough* glasses hanging *cough* that maybe 2 is Ohno...

I doubt Sho will pull the same stunt he did the first time he lost, right? or will he repeat? 4 is all kind of wrongs!!! But having in mind Nino's look in VSA lol, maybe he wants to imitate one of them... but don't know, having in mind the two making dramas... I would say maybe Aiba decided to go for the 4... Anyway it's really 'my-eyes, my-eyes!'

But also, Nino has had nice results more or less so maybe he wants to lose and be in the pics in that truck... who knows what is going on in that clever mind of him... or maybe he made Aiba to put that on...

Or maybe Jun lost his mind and propriety and decided that he couldn't care less after losing three times already and decided to pay homage to his futsal pals... LOL!

I am starting to think that they decide who takes the ugly/loser outfit at janken, as they usually do things... *sigh*

This aired at 6 pm on Thursday. Some new moments (including one where the AKB girl is also)... Still so very good. It looks really promising.

*cries* This is so good... sorry for the spamming... but the drama looks so amazing! Facing his students, meeting old students... omg! (need tissues)
I wonder how much he had to practice writing with his left hand, it really looks neat...

Thursday morning TBS aired brief news about Matsushima Mao being cast at the main character for Blackboard SP drama episode 3 (NEWS's Shige seems to star in that one too). To illustrate the news they showed like seconds of episode 1 (a scene with Sho) and episode 2 (starring Sato Koichi), but it was enough to get me excited.

I squeed pretty badly... Sho looks so awesome! And the rest of the SP drama has my attention too... I have a thing for school dramas, I guess.

This one was aired in TBS's Hiroobi on Monday around 11 am.

It showed images not aired in the one at 6 am. The moment where he is trying to write kanjis (his family name) with his left hand ;_; *crying rivers already* broke my heart and his nephew saying 'daijoubu!' *more crying*

I took it back to give it to Sho's character in Blackboard, that seems to need more love than Kageyama atm...

Dear boy! He looks so stoical but hurting inside... I pictured the hair looking something like that but he truly looks good! (the forehead it's okay) and his right arm *cries* ;_;

I am going to cry so much with this character and this drama...

I saw the pic at weibo first but you know how fast tumblr is: here.
I'd give credit to the girl from weibo, but not sure if she would like that or if she got it from somewhere else first...

Yay!

It is supposed he plays a teacher... I tried to get an idea of what was going about but I just got such a general (not helpful) idea, that it was great when I read tumblr post explaining the drama and for those who know Japanese some info in this other tumblr post (consider those my sources, and add weibo)

So it's a 3 episodes drama in TBS (reminds me of Jun's a couple of years ago...) airing in April. Post WWII Japan... Oh Sho, you do know (or your manager does) to choose juicy parts/dramas for you lately...
