ラスト・フレンズ

SYNOPSIS Last Friends tackles issues that afflict the current generation where five young adults lived together in a SHAREHOUSE while each individual of them have their own problems.The story begins with Michiru who cohabiting with her boyfriend,Sosuke who works at the Child Welfare Division and the only person who can give her emotional support, but ends up the victim of domestic violence and becomes fearful of love. The boyishly charming Ruka was a classmate of Michiru's in junior high school. She has performed brilliantly as a motocross racer and aims to win the national championship, but as the story progresses, a deep worry that she can neither confide in her parents or close friends grows evident. Takeru is a hair and makeup artist acquainted with Ruka. He is a good confidant to females due to his kindness and perceptiveness, and finds himself attracted to Ruka but has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life.


The issues that Last Friends tackled have made it different from the usual japanese drama that have shown.This have cause the interest of people.However the drama is kinda of DARK and HEAVY as it will be toking about DV and other issues that people suffers today.So for those who cant accept those 'extreme' issues and not that 'open-minded', should be best to not watch this drama.^^



The cast:
Nagasawa Masami as Aida Michiru
Ueno Juri as Kishimoto Ruka
Eita as Mizushima Takeru
Mizukawa Asami as Takigawa Eri
Nishikido Ryo as Oikawa Sosuke

OP: Prisoner Of Love-Hikaru Utada


Like the cast of th drama as i noe most of them...haha
Masami(21) acted in Proposal Daisakusen
Juri(22),Eita(26) and Asami(25) acted before in Nodame Cantabile(and oso Tamaki as chiaki-sama!)
Ryo-chan(24) acted in 1 Litres of Tears(that Tearful drama that I couldnt bear to watch finsh coz its overly sad) and he is from NewS

Ryo shocked me in Last friend ep1 when he look so good in the opening of the story and ended up being using DV on Masami.While Juri had cut her hair that causes me to not recogonise her.I have to admit that she has good acting skills that she acted Rukia well.She has become my no.1 character in Last friends(Takeru is 2nd...)

There are many hints in the drama and their promotions pics that tells about the ending and the feeling and relationship of the characters,but still the ending is unpredictable even until the last ep trailer had been released.
