From Orange Pride To Men's Rhythmic Gymnastics

About three weeks ago, my sister and I decided to sit down and watch the Japanese drama known as 'RESCUE'.  Most of the reason was because KAT-TUN member Yuichi Nakamaru is in it (and KAT-TUN's song, 'RESCUE' is the theme).  But he's not the only famous person (that I knew of) that was starring in it.  NEWS member Takahisa Masuda and actor Yusuke Yamamoto is also in it!  The drama is nine episodes long and centers around a group of firefighters who want to become like an elite group known as the Super Rangers (SR for short).  Daichi Kitajima (Nakamaru) is the main character of the drama, and he along with other SR trainees try their best to make it onto the Super Rangers team.  There are many struggles for all of them as they do so.  The cool thing about this drama is that alot of the situations reflect real ones that can happen, and it gives little tidbits of information along the way.  I'd have to say that this drama was created in order to commemorate the real teams across Japan for doing what they do best: saving lives in the most dangerous of situations.  One line I can remember that shows up a few times is: "Which is more important: the life of the victim or of the rescuer?"  You'll have to watch to find out.  ^o^

After watching that drama, we watched one with a bit of a "softer" feel...I guess.  XD  It's name is 'Tumbling' and it is about a group of high school boys who are trying to prove that gymnastics isn't just a girl's sport.  This drama stars Yusuke Yamamoto, Seto Koji, AAA member Takahiro Nishijima, and EXILE member Akira (Ryohei Kurosawa).  In the beginning, the men's rhythmic team of a certain high school (I can't remember it's name) was struggling.  They only had a handful of members, and they weren't very good at the sport--save for one member who didn't associate with them.   Their high school's female team, however, was top-notch.  Yuta Takenaka (Seto Koji) has always dreamed of entering group competitions, but find his dream to be far from reach because they lack enough members to even enter.  That is where Azuma Wataru (Yamamoto Yusuke) enters into the picture.  Azuma is a terrifying delinquent who does as he pleases.  One day, he's confronted by his teacher (Akira) about his grades.  He needs to either take extra classes or join a club to pass.  Azuma isn't fine with either...until he falls for the new girl...who joins the female gymnastics team...and thinks that guys who do gymnastics are cool.  So, guess what Azuma does?  :3  Throughout the drama, you will see the struggles that the men's team goes through and how they overcome them.  They eventually get themselves more members too!  To find out how, you'll have to watch.
