This is a Drama live action – which is also adapt from a Manga !

The word “bambino” means “baby”, or “playful baby”, I think..

[>-< ] GOSH! I can’t wait to see it’s finish! However let start with the REVIEW.

A drama adaptation of a popular comic written by Sekiya Tetsuji. After a year of working at a neighborhood Italian restaurant, Ban Shogo (Matsumoto Jun), an enthusiastic, cocky young college student from Fukuoka, comes to Tokyo to perfect his cooking skills as a chef in Italian cuisine. He discovers he has much to learn and has to continually prove himself to the very competitive, quick and efficient staff at the upscale Italian restaurant. ( MORE FROM DRAMA WIKI)

Genre: Cooking, Comedy..

Theme song: We can make it by ARASHI.

Episodes: 11

Through this  Drama, I can’t imagine that I will started to like it somehow because I usually love like high school stuft  eg Hana Kimi but This is also Nice! It’s very fascinating seeing the determination of Bam to become a respectable chef. I like the part when he try to smile too, it’s very funny! However I gotta give this drama 4 /5 rating.

Live Action Car Racer!

Speed Racer Live action :)

More news from this site

Here Speed Racer live action official site


Mach GoGoGo was first created by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida (19331977) as a manga series in the 1960s and made the jump to TV as an anime series in 1967. The central character in the anime and manga was a young race car driver named Gō Mifune (Mifune Gō). Yoshida selected the names and symbolism in his creation very carefully. The large red M on the hood of the Mach 5, which in North America was assumed to stand for “Mach 5″, is actually the emblem of Mifune Motors, the family business. His given name, Gō, is also a Japanese homophone for the number 5 (the number on his race car).

This is also represented by the yellow letter G embroidered on his shirt. The name of the series, Mach GoGoGo is actually a triple entendre; as mentioned, it stands for the number 5, i.e. it is the name of the car, the Mach 5, it is the name of the main character, and the English word “go”. Put altogether, the title of the show means, “Mach 5, Gō Mifune, Go! By combining the look of Elvis Presley’s race car driving image (complete with neckerchief and black pompadour) and James Bond’s gadget-filled Aston Martin, Yoshida had the inspiration for his creation.

The English rights to Mach GoGoGo were immediately acquired by American syndicator Trans-Lux. The main character Gō Mifune was given the name “Speed Racer” in the English version. A major editing and dubbing effort was undertaken by producer Peter Fernandez, who also voiced many of the characters, most notably Racer X and Speed Racer himself. Fernandez was also responsible for a retooling of the theme song’s melody and its subsequent English lyrics, provided by Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass. When the series emerged before U.S.

TV audiences as Speed Racer, fans were quickly drawn to its sophisticated plots involving fiendish conspiracies, violent action, hard-driving racing, and soulful characters with sparkling eyes.[citation needed] In an effort to squeeze the complicated plotlines into existing lip movements, the frenetic pace of the dubbing made Speed Racer famous for its quirky “fast” dialogue.
