love and basketball and probably with a 2 point line of fail

The big news in dorama fandom today apparently is the announcement of Yamapi's latest getsu9 drama, which is titled (tentatively? it seems pretty final) "Buzzer Beat - Hero on the Edge".

Excuse me, I need to compose myself for a second.

Because internal voice over guy just said....Hero on the EDGE, and if any of you have ever seen an AXE deodorant CM, that's what I was thinking, and now...yes. A moment, please.

It looks like typical summer bright romance fluff, and I hope it does well, and I'll be checking it out, because I kind of miss the days when I actively enjoyed watching Yamapi, and not just to make fun of his terrible hair or dead fish eyes (but so cute, for dead fish, n'est pas?) and you know, the affectionate scorn was affectionate and not so much just...bored scorn.  (Because srsly, ProDai die in a fire, and code blue give me a fbreak.)

But I'm really enthused for the supporting cast (MAYA MIKI OMG YAY. Shihori Kanjiya, MIZOBATA JUNPEI, and Ito Hideaki, who is in my pantheon of attractive 30ish J-actors who need to show up in dramas more.)


OH, AND I ALMOST FORGOT THIS: Nagase: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY It's sounding a bit like Austin Powers meets Maxwell Smart, and that is not a bad thing, if it's Nagase putting on the nun habit. This one I'm anticipating.

Mr. Brain soon!

Yamapi playing basketball.

Am I the only one who finds that absolutely hilarious? I don't even need to hear anymore than that.

BASKETBALL.

Well, he was due a sports drama, wasn't he?

I think I'd rather watch the Nagase drama, but may tune in just to watch the POTENTIAL FOR FAIL.

WAIT. MAYA MIKI? REALLY? I HADN'T KNOWN SHE WAS PART OF THE CAST TOO. OMG. MY FLAIL IS SO HARD FOR HER. XDDD i love me some maya miki? XD

clearly.

because those kids, really. you need some quality hot, and Maya Miki is there to give it in spades.

WHAT WHAT I was also unaware of Maya Miki being part of this! Yamapi has all the luck after all!

I swear the title actually echoed around my head after I heard it. "Buzzer Beat--Hero on the Edge... Buzzer Beat--Hero on the Edge...Buzzer Beat..."

Yeah, I hope it does well.

or that it's suitably horrible so i can make fun of it.

It's always about the brighter side of things. Because at this point, I think casting directors are on autopilot with this spec sheet: need a good looking guy who brings the fail? LET'S CAST YAMAPI.
