The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House (2023, Japan)

Directors: Hirokazu Kore-eda, Hiroshi Okuyama, Takuma Sato & Megumi Tsuno

Writers: Hirokazu Kore-eda, Takuma Sato, Megumi Tsuno & Mami Sunada

Mini-review:

I love Hirokazu Kore-eda's style, and you can feel his hand throughout the nine episodes, even if he worked with more people. This show is such a lovely, soothing and relaxing experience. Nothing much happens (it's a classic slice of life story), but if you enjoy its vibes, it never gets boring. Sure, maybe it could have used a doses or two of drama, but at the same time I feel like that would have shattered the peaceful atmosphere it carefully builds from the first episode. I do wish the show would have delved into the many controversies and problems that surround the maiko/geiko industry, specially considering Kore-eda has strongly supported the #MeToo movement within the Japanese film world, but, once again, I get that something like that would have gone against the whole point of the show.

Anyway, I feel like I'm rambling here. The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House is quite lovely and as well acted and sensitively written/directed as one could expect from Hirokazu Kore-eda. Also, make sure to watch it on a full stomach, cause there's a lot of delicious-looking food here that will certainly make you go hungry.

Today's episode of "The Yakai" is what you might call a "retro" episode. Specifically, the best moments from "The Yakai." The theme is "a surprise that brought tears to my eyes."

#meinagano cried hard when she dreamt of collaborating with her favourite artiste 😭.

#keikokitagawa cried and laughed at the appearance of her life's benefactor, monomaniac 😂.

#torimatsuzaka collaborated on his most favourite story in his sleep ⭐.

#satomiishihara will be performing a special one-night comedy special with #EXIT‼

#ryokoyonekura and #masaminagasawa are looking forward to meeting the comedian they've been waiting for🤩☝

#Msakuraisho takes revenge on #aibamasaki for 11 years😏.

Biggest surprise in the history of the night party. ‼🕳

And #F-BLOOD sang the song "Like White Clouds" for the first time at #hiroyukiariyoshi's birthday party, and #sakuraisho was impressed to tears‼. Don't miss the unseen scene after the song ‼🫣

Till We Meet Again on the Lily Hill

Movies watched in 2024

Till We Meet Again on the Lily Hill (2023, Japan)

Director: Yoichi Narita

Writers: Masahiro Yamaura & Yoichi Narita (based on the novel by Natsue Shiomi)

Mini-review:

I had been curious about Till We Meet Again on the Lily Hill for a while, since I like the two leads quite a bit and it became one of the most successful romance movies of the decade in Japan. Unfortunately, I found it disappointing. The romance didn't make me feel much at all, and the story is thematically muddled and indecisive. It clearly has a anti-war message, and tries to criticize the whole kamikaze program through the main character. However, at the same time, it seems to glorify and justify the same things it wants to condemn. The cast does a great job and makes the movie watchable, but not even the acting can stop it from being underwhelming.

The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House Season 1 (2023)

Plot premise:  Maiko-san chi no makanai-san Two inseparable friends move to Kyoto to chase their dreams of becoming maiko but decide to pursue different passions while living under the same roof.

Network: Netflix Episodes (and episode length): 9 (38-46 mins) Creator: Koreeda Hirokazu Cast: Mori Nana, Deguchi Natsuki, Makita Aju, Matsuzaka Keiko, Hashimoto Ai, Matsuoka Mayu, Tokiwa Takako, Luna Yuuki IMDB | RottenTomatoes

± A slice of a different kind of life. Thus, not very predictable and i was a little lost but the characters and the heart is where it's at. The final episode was an unexpected tear jerker. Just something about achieving things with that kind of support and the bond between soulmates just pulled the happy tears from me. Or maybe sad tears of missing my own best friend ahead of when she was going to leave the country.

Hobby:Listening to music Favorite food: Canned corn favorite color: Pink Favorite celebrity: Matsuzaka Keiko About myself: I'm a girl who dares to laugh foolishly in front of people even when I've problems. I really love to talk about obscene things with my friends. I'm so sentimental when I'm alone. (DUNK85 P82)

She was the most cheerful character among the members of the smoking group, and she also exuded an extremely obscene atmosphere.(Special) She reluctantly revealed that she had a boyfriend.(Special) Not only did she call herself "Fashion Massage" (meaning massage parlor), but she also made several outrageous remarks without hesitation that were extremely unusual for an idol, saying things like, "We girls can easily get big cocks in our pussies cuz we're awesome, and that I use only sanitary pads when I've my period".(Special) She used the Tōbu Tōjō Line, as did Nitta Eri and Enokida Michiko, but it's not clear if she was on good terms with them.(Kamifukuoka 142144) She was the same age as singer Honda Minako, and was from south of Shiki City, right next to Asaka, Honda's hometown.(Odawara) Since they both played basketball when they were in junior high school, it's possible that they interacted at the time even though they were in different schools.(DUNK85 P82)(BOMB85 P28) After her dismissal, she appeared as a model in some magazine in 1986, but little is known about her activities since then.(TreasureB P61) There's information that she's devoting herself to being a homemaker in Asaka, but it's not certain that this is true.(Wiki Yoshino) DVDs featuring early footage of Yūyake Nyan Nyan were released long ago, but she was the only one of the fired members who wasn't shown in any of the conversations or close-ups.(DVD)(2ch1 382) So it's possible that she, like Nagata Ruriko, refused to give permission for the video.(Note that Nagata was eager to make her solo debut, but was rejected by chief director Kasai Kazuji. In 1988, she married an employee of a television production company. In the 21st century, she started refusing to give video permissions. As a result, whenever Onyanko Club footage is shown on TV, her face is always covered with a mosaic.)(OnyankoB P43-45)(2ch1 382)
