	Contemporary Issues in Japanese Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Japanese scholars echo this view as well, such as Kanji Nishio's assertion that spiritual culture and industrial technology are not two completely different things but developed along parallel paths in Japan, under a Confucian/Buddhist ethic, just as they did in the West under Christianity (Nishio 1982).
		Japanese schools were seen as producing well-socialized citizens who could quickly adapt to whatever social role was required of them--yet, as Rolen showed in his study of high schools (1983), cynicism, indifference, and student-directed brutality often accompany what is still the world's highest literacy rate.
		But leading Japanese politicians and industrialists (most of whom were educated before or during the war) continue to see the world as a dichotomy of beneficial and controlled "inner" essences and threatening but tantalizing "outer" forces which have their roots in Western epistemologies.

		Japanese TV dramas (or "dorama" as they are often referred to outside Japan) are probably the biggest form of entertainment in Japan.
		The biggest and most popular actors and actresses in Japan appear in TV dramas, unlike in the U.S. where the biggest actors appear almost exclusively in movies.
		Most Japanese dramas are aired as a series of 10-12 episodes that are each roughly 45 minutes long (not including commercials).

	13th JAMCO Online International Symposium./Import and Export of Japanese Television Programs
		In addition, in Korea, broadcast of Japanese-made TV dramas was forbidden for many years, but in January 2004, as the final stage of the "Japanese public culture liberation" measure, the ban was lifted on the broadcast of Japanese-made dramas on CATV and satellite broadcasting.
		Among the Japanese TV programs (terrestrial analog and nationwide networks), overseas-produced programs (including co-produced programs that were primarily created overseas) account for 4.9% of all broadcast time, with an annual total of 3,120 programs amounting to 3,036 hours.
		Conversely, the types of TV programs that are useful for understanding Japanese society and culture, such as drama, documentary and news, have a very low ratio of export to countries of Europe and America.

	Japanese television drama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japanese dramas (Japanese: ドラマ dorama; J-dramas; from English "drama") are a staple of Japanese television and are broadcast daily.
		Dramas shown in the morning or afternoon are generally broadcast on a daily basis, and episodes of the same drama can be aired every day for several months, such as NHK's asadora, or morning dramas.
		For example, in the Fuji TV drama Densha Otoko, the opening song and some of the background music had to be replaced in the release that aired on the Nippon Golden Network because they couldn't get the rights to use the music.

		For example, in chapter 2 titled "Japanese TV Sociology 101", she talks about the importance of food in Japanese culture and how symbolic it is on television.
		She uses dramas as examples such as the 1996 series "Hakusen Nagashi" in a part of series when character, Sonoko is making obento for Wataru and his jealous ex-girlfriend confiscates the obento and destroys it.
		Another example is the drama "Campus Note" where Haruka (Uchida Yuki) attracted to a student who needs to pass a bar exam to become a lawyer decides not to bother him during his studies but her rival always visits him with a carefully wrapped obento.

		Cheap dramas are the standard (your American cheapos are shown overseas as well, don't forget) and in fact foreign audiences have been trained to only expect "high quality" films and shows when they are from the US and not from their home countries.
		What Japanese TV has been poor at is generating revenue from their ideas and protecting their formats.
		TV did serve the function of the izakaya obviously the actual izakaya would not be as needed so it would make perfect sense for it to be torn down.

	Japanese TV Dramas - Common Japan Broadcast
		Japanese Television Dramas are very common and are broadcast on Japanese television almost every day.
		Dramas from Nihon Housou are not favored as much, since Nihon Housou puts more effort in variety programs rather than in dramas.
		Dramas that air during the September-to-December period have the most effort put in, since people stay at home more and watch more TV during the colder winter months.

	Korean TV Dramas
		My Lovely Sam-Soon was the most popular TV drama of 2005, and it's easy to see why, though the series doesn't fully work for me. Kim Seon-A is totally convincing and likable as the title character: a brassy, unglamorous, vulgar young woman with her own mind, but who still feels the tug of social expectations.
		Since this is a TV drama, Suk-yeon wins over not just her son but his entire class, developing Braille and mobility skills that would make Helen Keller envious.
		TV Series that, for many reasons --including their competition with top rated shows, or lack of major stars-- fail to capture the masses, but manage to slowly build a faithful audience which supports the show until the end.

	Amazon.com: The Dorama Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese TV Drama Since 1953: Books: Jonathan Clements,Motoko Tamamuro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Although Japanese drama is not readily available as Japanese animation or Asian cinema on DVD, there is a growing fandom for dramas thanks to the International channels, Japanese rental stores, fan-trading/subbing, BT and VCD's.
		For fans looking for information on trendy Japanese dramas, the very long duration NHK and TBS dramas (especially those samurai/historical dramas), sentai and of course, dramas within the last fifty years, I was very impressed how the authors handled and included them in this book.
		What I worried about the most was the translation or the titles that would be used for the drama because what other countries have used as their English title for a Japanese drama has nothing to do with the translated title and thus, I was happy by the way this book handled that.

		The keen interest in Japanese culture among young East Asians marks a major departure from the decades of disdain that their elders who lived under the iron hand of Japanese colonization have had for things Japanese.
		Takizawa Ushio, 25, a Japanese graduate student who teaches Japanese literature in Seoul, said that given the history of bad blood between Korea and Japan, he had been concerned that he would not be welcomed in South Korea.

		This was the first Japanese drama that got me hooked.

	From the Gallery - J-Dramas in North America - Anime News Network (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Now if my memory serves me right, curiosity over Japanese dramas peaked here in Toronto in 1999 when our local multicultural TV station, Rogers-owned CFMT (Rogers is to Canada what Time Warner/AOL might be in the States), started showing the thirteen episode "Wedding Story" starring Takako Tokiwa.
		Most of the talked about drama series aren't all that long; on average they would be about 12-13 one hour episodes (with the most popular ones spawning an extra special and maybe even a motion picture), so there wouldn't be too big a commitment in comparison to a long running anime series.
		Japanese Anime and Manga in their original forms are a hard enough sell here in North America.

		A news report yesterday revealed that the popularity of American TV dramas has increased greatly in the last few years.
		This graph shows the number of American TV drama titles stocked by Tsutaya, Japan’s largest video rental chain(each DVD of a show is counted as one, there aren’t actually 172 different dramas available).
		It might also have something to do with the fact that most Japanese TV dramas are repetitions of the same tired old formulas, full of melodramatic overacting and overall lameness.

	AAW: Haunted Junction Review
		There is no English dub, but the Japanese voice acting is about what you'd expect for a wild comedy series: Over the top and funny, although most characters are stamped from a standard set of molds.
		Yukie Nakama, the voice behind Mutsuki, is unusual as a voice actress; although Haunted Junction was her first significant project (and the theme songs her third single), it was the only time she did anime (unless you count singing the theme song to Megaman X4).
		After this project, she established herself in the multi-talent pretty girl mold with a variety of non-nude photobooks, singles, and a number of live action roles in both film and Japanese TV dramas.
