	Mari - diary: Large scale histrical Cledds Drama
		NHK (National channel, no commercial) will broadcasts its large scale historical Cledds Drama, it is called "Taiga Drama", it means "great river" as in the river of time.
		NHK's "taiga drama" is a cultural institution, a yearlong serial about an important figure in Japanese history.
		But since Taiga is a sort of a national drama for all Japanese, there was criticism "Why SMAP"?　But I do not think this is a case of miscasting, actually both have a big mouth.

		The 46th Historical Drama is a life story of Yamamoto Kansuke, a lonely genius of strategy at the Age of the Civil War in the 16th century.
		The last taiga dealt with the Yamauchi family and the Tosa fief and how they dealt and survived with all the intrigues that occured in the last part of the 16th century.
		However, this drama seems to deal more with the warring states period in its prime rather than with the era of unification.

	NHK Shinsengumi - Saitou Hajime
		For those of you that do not know what a "Taiga" drama is, it is a year long drama that aims to bolster patriotic feelings amongst the Japanese.
		First of all it came out as a Taiga drama, second it employed SMAP members whose members are are considered for lack of a better word, "teen idols" and third it propelled an enormous amount of commercial paraphernalia and fan work like doujinshi.
		It is in essence historical fiction where fans have decided, with the use of some historical information and their own ideals, they have created a creature that resembles but does not necessarily mimic the real people.

		This drama depicts the changes in character over the past 6 years and the members future endeavors.
		And this Taiga, is pretty different than the other Taiga dramas(which are NHK's) I've watched, I guess FujiTV have their own style in shooting a taiga drama^^ And there are only 3 eps, so it didn't get boring^^ Oh, what's a little awkward is...the ending themesong is an old FRENCH song!
