While watching Nobunaga Concerto and Nobunaga Concerto: The Movie I noticed Mukai Osamu, along with Yamada Takayuki, and of course Oguri Shun who played the lead. Something about Japanese traditional men's clothing makes me very happy.

The other movies I have seen him in are:

Hanamizuki - I describe this more of a life journey that contains a love story. It is a good move and while he in a support role it is a pivotal one. The lead in this is Ikuta Toma.
Paradise Kiss - was ok. Not one of my favourites, but it is a good movie.
My Pretend Girlfriend - Huh... What did I just watch... I don't understand...

Dramas include:

Byakuyako- I don't even remember him, and I just watched this two weeks ago. This show is dark, but addicting. The lead is Yamada Takayuki
Regatta - About a college sailing club with Matsuda Shota it is another guest role. This drama is flat sort of, very predictable and, well, almost boring.
Nodame Cantabile if you haven't seen this you need to, and all of its spin-off movies. Another classic that makes on many peoples' favourites list.
Bambino! With Matsumoto Jun and Karina you would think that this drama would be amazing. It's not. It's ok, but EXTREMELY predictable.
Hachimitsu to Clover - I recommend this drama and the previous movie that was made in 2006 it is a very good story about friendship.
Seigi no Mikata - I hated this at first. I watched this for a challenge requirement. But thinking back now, not that it was bad, it's that I hate bullying of any kind, even if it is for someone's own good.

So now that I have proven my credentials to write this stalker's guide, let's proceed. : )
