Spring Dorama (starting from April 2005 in Japan)


Fuji TV


Engine (starting April 18, every Monday at 9.00 pm)

What Japan's fastest man finds after overcoming many difficulties is love.

Jiro Kanzaki (Takuya Kimura) is an F3000 test driver blessed with acute sensitivity and breathtaking driving techniques. He's a daredevil who feels no fear driving at speeds that even top racers dare not attempt. But unexpected trouble forces this world-famous racer to leave his team and return to Japan for the first time in years. Until he finds a new job as a racer, Jiro decides to stay with his parents. What awaits Jiro there is his hardheaded father Takeshi Kanzaki (Yoshio Harada), his nagging sister Chihiro Kanzaki (Yuki Matsushita), the 12 children of the foster home his father runs, a snobbish male nurse Motoichiro Torii (Masato Sakai), and a stubborn female nurse Tomomi Mizukoshi (Koyuki) who likes to daydream about her life.

Jiro's return home brings a breath of fresh air that influences the people around him. However, he is still unaware that he too will eventually be influenced to change the way he thinks and lives.

Rikon Bengoshi 2/Divorce Lawyer 2 (sarting April 19, every Tuesday at 9.00 pm)
Theme song: "Every" by Hoshimura Mai

During the airing of the original season of "Divorce Lawyer" in 2004, many viewers as well as the cast expressed their hope for a second season. A 2-hour New Year's special aired at the beginning of January 2005, and the long-awaited 2nd season is finally here.

In addition to the familiar legal elements of the show, "Divorce Lawyer 2" puts more emphasis on the personal lives of individual characters, particularly the lead role Takako Mamiya. This drama shows that the law, the courtroom, and trials aren't matters remote from the average person's life. This can happen to your family, friend, or even yourself.

In the previous series, Takako Mamiya (Yuki Amami) was an elite lawyer who handled public relations cases. She quit her job at a prestigious law firm to establish her own office. She confidently walked into her new office only to find that her former firm had interfered and taken all her lawyers and staff. They even took away her clients. Takako reluctantly started to handle low-paying divorce cases. Through her cases though, Takako came face to face with "human drama" and matured greatly.

She is now the most sought-after lawyer in town. Takako's firm has become well-known, and she handles domestic as well as public relations cases.

One day, Takako takes on a troubling case about compensation and damages. The opposing lawyer is Eri Saeki (Asaka Seto), an ex-prosecutor who is now an ace divorce lawyer. Eri is persistent and courageous when it comes to law. What is the "truth" the two lawyers discover when their case is over?

Friendly faces working at the Takako Mamiya Law Firm are Daisuke Honda (Tetsuji Tamayama), a college student studying for the bar exam, Toshifumi Yanagida (Kuranosuke Sasaki), the only other lawyer in the firm, and Kizaburo Inoue, a paralegal who hasn't passed the bar exam yet, but has rich knowledge of court precedents and shows excellent documentation skills. New faces at the firm include paralegal Tsuyako Komukai and receptionist Aki Ogata (Nana Katase) who has no interest in law. Adding spice to Takako's private life are Tatsuya Mikami, editor of a popular women's magazine, and Tamotsu Ohba, the owner of the firm's favorite place to unwind after hours.

Cast:

Amami Yuki as Mamiya Takako - lawyer
Seto Asaka as Saeki Eri - resigned from the attorney office to become a lawyer, sees Mamiya as her rival
Tamayama Tetsuji as Honda Daisuke - legal assistant at Mamiya's law firm
Sasaki Kuranosuke as Yanagida Toshifumi - lawyer at Mamiya's law firm
Katase Nana as Ogata Aki - receptionist at Mamiya's law firm


Magarikado no Kanojo/The Turning Point of Her Life (starting April 19, every Tuesday at 10.00 pm)

Stay tuned for a fierce battle between a woman in her 30's and one in her 20's. 33-year old Chiharu Oshima (Izumi Inamori) is a career woman in the Sales and Planning Department of a hotel. During her 20's, Chiharu worked day and night to achieve her current position and luxurious lifestyle. She won't let anybody interfere with her career and romance.

All is going well, until 25-year-old Natsumi Mihara (Yumiko Shaku) throws down the gauntlet to Chiharu. Everybody including Chiharu had thought that Natsumi was just a girl with no brains. But actually, once she sets her mind to something, she can achieve anything. She is good at learning foreign languages, and is prepared to use her sex appeal to entrap and exploit men. What's more, since Natsumi was brought up in a poor fatherless home, her desire to climb the ladder of success is strong. She knows that the only way she'll get a chance is to outperform Chiharu and snatch away her post. That's exactly what Natsumi decides to do.

"Chiharu, look at those bags under your eyes. Isn't it time you retired?" A long battle between two women: one in her 30's and the other in her 20's, is about to begin.

Since his father passed away six years ago, Shimao Suzuki (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi) has taken over the family business, working diligently at their factory with his mother Aiko and a couple of employees. Though not wealthy, Shimao, Aiko, and Shimao's sister Mariko (Yoshino Kimura) are satisfied with their life.

One day, Shimao draws a raffle at a local shopping mall and wins a trip for two to Hawaii. He takes his mother, and there he meets a beautiful girl, Kaori Shirokawa (Nao Matsushita), and a young and brilliant entrepreneurial president of Frontier, an up-and-coming IT firm, Toru Takayanagi (Shinichi Tsutsumi). Shimao immediately falls in love with Kaori, who has a friendly and warm personality.

Shimao and Aiko come home to find the factory in chaos. The accountant has embezzled the company's money, causing them to go bankrupt. Aiko develops a heart disease and is hospitalized. She needs a heart transplant, but the Suzukis can't afford the medical costs. Before Shimao can come up with a way to clear their debts, Aiko passes away. Shimao and Mariko can do nothing but cry. That's when Shimao remembers what Toru told him in Hawaii. "When you're in trouble, come to me." The following day, Shimao finds himself standing in front of the towering building where Frontier is based. What will be waiting for Shimao inside?
