I’ve heard of people following the series only because they admire Tanaka Misako’s mama Ichinose. I honestly don’t know how much of it can be attributed to the calibre of her acting but surely, credit must be given for the kind of respect she commands as powerfully as she is gentle. …And it helps that she is naturally, quite the beauty. (Yes yes, I won’t stop waxing lyrical and am clearly sold to her cause!) She is, you will find, the archetypal Asian Beauty – submissive and mindful of all the anachronistic rules and sense of decorum but with an underlying strength and enough independence of mind to influence her husband in the gentle, polite way she went about doing that. Who I thought was an absolute gem – she’s carries herself with the sort of quiet dignity and cultivated poise on which Westerners base an entire culture of fetishising the Orient. And then of course there was Tanaka Misako as Ichinose Kanako! Whoa, we CAN see the strength in her eyes. (This is Shida Mirai being determined to say something to her boyfriend. But would you give her an award for this woody expression? I think not. Which is good! Which is…you know, intended. As you can see, she looks very…blank and numb. (This is Shida Mirai being exhausted and numbed with shock and grief. Which I mean…she did fantastically but…most of her scenes, however well acted, just isn’t award-winning material. I actually Youtubed videos of real women really having labour contractions and stuff and…Shida Mirai’s gooooood! Shida Mirai is the real deal! I just didn’t think the bulk of the show/script did her acting much justice – mostly, she just had to look determined and sincere. So we all know she has some calibre and she was good in the drama – especially in the first episode and when she first has her labour troubles. And I loved Shida Mirai in Jyoou no Kyoushitsu (The Queen’s Classroom) which was absolutely bril (!!!) and I hope one day I can churn out a review that does it most justice. Of course, there is Shida Mirai as protagonist, Miki Ichinose. You have people just gushing, gushing, gushing about this actor or that actress and on my part, I suppose the acting must have been stellar for me to decide to have to put up with all that offensively stupid decisions. The acting’s… brilliant – and I think, from all the overwhelming praise on Youtube – most people think that too. You know I think for all the drama’s lacking in the Brain Department, it really does make up for it with a whole lot of Soul and Heart. Her mother replied, "Except for the belly becoming bigger, nothing else changes." This information added no value to her preparation whatsoever.(PART THREE – I KNOW! I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS DRAMA!) She wanted to know if there are any changes in her walk, appetite, and so on during pregnancy. In preparation of her role, never having been pregnant herself, Shida Mirai consulted in her real-life mother for advice.Enjoji Aya as one of the neighbors (ep11)Ī Junior Highschool Student's Pregnancy.Ĭan you also give me a Maternity Handbook?.Sorimachi Takashi as Doctor Tsuchida (ep10-11).Onodera Akira as Nakatani Eiza (School Principal, 58).Takahata Atsuko as Matoba Haruko (Doctor, 52).Isaka Shunya (井坂俊哉) as Haraguchi Kazuaki (28).Kaito Ken as Yamazaki Koyo (Kirino's manager, 29).Ideguchi Yumiko (出口結美子) as Okumura Yoshiko (32).Koshimizu Kazuki as Ichinose Kenta (11).Tanimura Mitsuki as Yanagisawa Mayu (15).Kitamura Kazuki as Hatano Taku (Chief of editor, 38).
