I really love the Nodame Cantabile manga--Matt Thorn bitches endlessly about how the English translation is botched six ways to Sunday, and maybe he's right, but if so, it's mostly botched in ways that aren't apparent to me--but the live action series is my favorite iteration of the story because of unapologetic goofyness of the very talented actors. And the prettiness of the actors.
You know, I've never traditionally gone for the undignified schtick, but I enjoyed it so much with Nodame that I should try other things in that vein. The yakuza thing does sound entertaining.
TOKIO! A friend of mine in my library program--a Japanese American woman who's spent quite a lot of time in Japan--is an unrepentant fangirl of TOKIO. Many's the cataloging assignment study session we worked on together that was punctuated by her giggling over something crazy her favorite--Tatsu, I think?--said on his radio show. I barely know what TOKIO is, but it all entertained me immensely.
