"Gekidan Engimono" series -1st story- "Unlucky Days ~Natsume no Mousou~" (18 April to 12 May, 2004)
Starring: Koyama Keiichiro (NEWS), Sakurai Sho (Arashi), Hirayama Aya (actress)
Highlights: Sakurai and Aya are having some really unlucky days, but then they discover a 1,000 yen note with scribbles all over it that turns their worlds upside down. Koyama plays a pretty lousy assistant to a comic writer. There are also some baddies who try to pull off a bank robbery, some mafia guys with an old lady, some singers who sit like statues and a computer geek bankman. As usual with this series, the shows don't make a lot of sense, but this one at least has a (sort of) story and a moral (?) to it.

"Gekidan Engimono" mini drama series "Ie ga Tooi"
Gekidan Engimono mini drama "Ie ga Tooi" (14 Sept, 2005) Episode 1 of 4
Length: 23 min 14 secs Size: 132 MB
Starring: Tegoshi Yuuya, Masuda Takahisa, Kusano Hironori, Kato Shigeaki (NEWS)
Highlights: The 4 NEWS guys sit around on some stairs. No, really. That's all that happens in the whole 23 minutes! They talk about porn (apparently Kusano is twisted and watching secretaries turns him on!) Shige has a crush on Tego's big sister. Tego lies on the ground and stares at bugs, then sometimes gets up and stabs people in the eyes or punches them! We also get to hear Massu's rock songs called "Imagine It" and "Baiser (Kiss)" which have really dumb lyrics (one of them sounds like a complete rip-off of a Beatles song)!

Gekidan Engimono mini drama series "Ie ga Tooi" (21 Sept, 2005) Episode 2 of 4
Length: 22 min 36 secs Size: 146 MB
Highlights: I liked this episode more than the first one. I laughed so much when they tried to act cool and pretend they were smokers (even though it was obvious they were all lying!) Shige sniffing the girl's hair for so long cracked me up! And I loved how Kusano kept wanting the girl to wipe him or pinch him (and the way he gave her candy for free!) I still don't get why no one was more concerned when Tegoshi came back covered in grime and blood, but maybe guys just don't notice that sort of thing?! Maybe it's a girl thing to want to know why your friend looks like he's been in a war...!?

Gekidan Engimono mini drama series "Ie ga Tooi" (16 Oct, 2005) Episode 3 of 4
Length: 22 min 36 secs Size: 140 MB
Highlights: They begin the episode by having an in-depth discussion about the price of wigs!? Luckily it gets a bit better after that. Shige sexually harasses Tegoshi and waves his crotch in Tegoshi's face (so that bit from the pacific DVD wasn't the first time Shige's been flirting with Tego!). Kusano is hilarious trying to explain to the girl about what a certain porn video and book look like! And Massu is kind of sweet at the end when he stares at the girl and says "Girls are beautiful."

Gekidan Engimono mini drama series "Ie ga Tooi" (26 Oct, 2005) Episode 4 of 4
Length: 22 min 37 secs Size: 125 MB
Highlights: Tegoshi talks!!! He speaks a whole 3 words!! (We're lucky because it's 3 words when it's translated to English. In Japanese it's only 1 word! So us English speakers got 3 times more dialog from Tegoshi than the Japanese viewers got! LOL) And this final episode almost has a plot! Okay, so the almost-plot revolves around a dead dumpling, but it's closer to a plot than we got in the first 3 episodes! The boys were funny looking like policemen directing traffic when they were telling the suicide guy where to jump from! Tegoshi freaked me out when he put his hands over his ears and started moaning like he was possessed by some weird ghost or something. Also you'll get to see Kusano as the worst fake crier EVER (only Massu would ever be fooled by it!)

"Trouble Man" drama series ft. Kato Shigeaki
"Trouble Man" Episode 1 (9 April, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 39 secs Size: 130 MB
Starring: Kato Shigeaki (NEWS), directed by SABU
Highlights: I finally got around to watching this first episode and it turned out it was much funnier than I'd been expecting. It was also super quick to sub because there was hardly any speaking in it. The characters are all hilariously over-the-top too! It seems to be about Shige being a goody-two-shoes guy who gets caught up in all sorts of craziness because of all the nutcases who live in his housing building.

"Trouble Man" Episode 2 (16 April, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 39 secs Size: 124 MB
Highlights: We get to learn about the past of one of the characters when he gets hypnotised, which brought tears to my eyes. But I couldn't help laughing out loud a bit at the suicidal scenes! (You'll understand when you watch it.)

"Trouble Man" Episode 3 (23 April, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 39 secs Size: 124 MB
Highlights: So it turns out that you shouldn't judge things without finding out the background story behind them. I also love how the old landlady is turning into such a nutcase!

"Trouble Man" Episode 4 (30 April, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 49 secs Size: 113 MB
Highlights: Watch the world's slowest criminal chase scene.

"Trouble Man" Episode 5 (7 May, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 49 secs Size: 146 MB
Highlights: It's the mafia guy's turn to get hypnotized and his story made me cry. I'm a sucker for romantic stories, even when they don't have the perfect fairytale ending. And it also seems that we're slowly closing in on who the Trouble Man is.

"Trouble Man" Episode 6 (14 May, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 49 secs Size: 117 MB
Highlights: Just when this series was starting to get boring, they managed to come out with an episode that is my favorite so far. The part about "number two" was so cringe-worthy! And it was amusing to see how Shige & the mafia guy seem to have created a theory about who the guy who lost his memory is. I can't help but feel that they're probably completely wrong. And it looks like next week Shige will finally get to earn his role of "lead actor in this drama."

"Trouble Man" Episode 7 (21 May, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 49 secs Size: 119 MB
Highlights: We learn about the gun that the guy with no memory had and about his past. Shige continues to act suspicious.

"Trouble Man" Episode 8 (4 June, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 34 secs Size: 176 MB
Highlights: We finally learn about the past of Shige. He seems afraid of ladies wanting to molest him or sleep with him! But this episode has kind of a depressing ending, so just be warned that it isn't a "feel good" episode like some of the funny ones.

"Trouble Man" Episode 9 (11 June, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 49 secs Size: 170 MB
Highlights: Finally everything comes together and all the characters and their pasts become tied together as the Trouble Man (or should that be Trouble Men?) become clear. I've had bad days before, but never anywhere near as bad as this guy's one.

"Trouble Man" Episode 10 (25 June, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 49 secs Size: 126 MB
Highlights: Just how hideously depressing can one episode be?! But the bit with Shige as every-girl's-dream-come-true was kind of cute.

* Hardsubbed version * http://www.mediafire.com/?zym5ujmnz4z
"Trouble Man" Episode 11 (2 July, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 49 secs Size: 142 MB
Highlights: About halfway through I was just about ready to give up on this episode because it was so depressing, but then it had a twist that put a smile on my face. I also recommend not watching the final "what happens next epsiode" part because it kind of ruins the cliffhanger ending of this episode.

"Trouble Man" Episode 12 *Final* (9 July, 2010)
Length: 28 mins 34 secs Size: 161 MB
Highlights: Shige runs. Things happen as he runs, but he keeps on running. NEWS songs play as background music. The end.

"JOKER ~Yurusarezaru Sousakan~" Episode 2 (20 July, 2010)
Length: 46 mins 49 secs
Highlights: It's the same plot as the first episode, except with different faces/names for the goodies & baddies. Please, please, please let them come up with a plot twist or something in the third episode, otherwise it'll probably be the last one I bother watching...

Length: 46 mins 49 secs
Starring: Nishikido Ryo (Kanjani), Sakai Masato (actor), Anne (actress)
Highlights: An insane multi-murderer shows up to try to take away from the craziness of an overall plot where only the men seem to know about the vigilante scheme while the women are all clueless. Also to be hired by this police force, it seems to be a requirement that you must have had a family member murdered by someone who was never arrested.

"JOKER ~Yurusarezaru Sousakan~" Episode 9 (7 Sept, 2010)
Length: 46 mins 49 secs
Highlights: Okay, I give up - I have no clue who the baddie is! I can only think of 2 people who could fit the role, but I'm 99% sure it actually isn't either of them. So who is it????

"JOKER ~Yurusarezaru Sousakan~" Episode 10 (14 Sept, 2010)

"JOKER ~Yurusarezaru Sousakan~" Episode 11 Special (21Sept, 2010)
