Everything is boring?

Most of them can't act. For example, I've watched some dramas starring Johnny's Juniors and their acting isn't good at all. The only one with Johnny's Juniors that I could tolerate was 35sai no Koukousei and even that wasn't the best drama ever. Kamen Teacher is pretty dull...Dont even let me get started on the AKB dramas. Ugh. And school dramas get repetitive after a while because it's always the same: bullying, shoplifting, mean girls, a new teacher transferring to a troubled school who has to help the worst class etc. They need to think of something new.

He is acting since 7 years and I believe I just started watching Dramas around that time, when he started. He was cute in Tantei Gakuen Q but you could see that he was still a bit uncomfortable and still had a lot to learn. And now he is really good for his young age. You mentioned Risou no Musuko. Compared to his early works, this one was really good, because of his acting. I'm looking forward to his future work, because I think he will be able to play the really deep characters someday, when you know what I mean haha

Prime example: Yamashita Tomohisa. I think that they need to train them better before they debut in dramas, or at least figure out which ones actually have a passion for acting and which ones just won't get it. Most (if not all) Johnny's are chosen just for their appearance. No matter how much some people are trained, they just won't be good actors or singers. Unfortunately, in the idol world, talent or skill doesn't matter, it's all about charisma and appeal...

I disagree that having charisma or appeal isn't a talent or skill, and not just in the context of the idol world. Maybe if Code Blue had starred Eita instead of Yamashita I'd have liked it more. But if "Shuuji and Akira" weren't "Kame and Yamapi", Nobuta wo Produce wouldn't have been half as fun.

tampopo100 wrote: MatusJun overacts his lines? Hmmm I would have to disagree. If anyone does that it would be Sakurai Sho. I do wonder which direction Johnny's will take in the future though. It seems that each season has a new flock of Juniors or regular Johnny's in dramas. They are slowly taking over...

I love hanazawa naoki and sakai masato is better actor than all je actors combined.....

about young actors......I think that sometani guy had this potential to be a great actor....also kenta hayashi is great also

have you notice that in japan tv actors are more famous than movie actors? so if you want to know how good the actor is just look how many movies he had....just look at tsubamuki satoshi......

And for that idol thing......have you notice what happen to yamada takayuki when he stops doing dramas......im talking about h2 and taiyou no uta those two dramas force him for being an idol not an actor....tho sekai no chusin and byakuyakou are both masterpiece....he did crow zero, 13 assassins, milocrorze those movies he cant do if he remain being an idol...
