DRAMA HANA YORI DANGO
What is HanaYoriDango? • Originally a manga turned anime turned drama (multiple) turned motion picture (2) • Most recent drama ran from 2005 – 2008 (2 TV seasons and a final movie in theaters) • Several other versions of this drama were made in Taiwan (Meteor Garden) and most recently in Korea (Boys Before Flowers) and in China • Ran on TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System) station, and was a weekly drama (Renzoku Drama) • Directed by Ishii Yasuharu, Yamamuro Daisuke, Katayama Osamu • Star cast including Inoue Mao, Oguri Shun and Arashi’s Matsumoto Jun
The Story • Protagonist: Makino Tsukushi • F4: NishikadoSoujiro , Mimasaka Akira, HanazawaRui and (Starts off as Antagonist) DomyoujiTsukasa. • Red Card • Love Triangle • Growing Up
Why is this Drama Important to Japan? • Its many remakes show Japan’s growing influence, especially in Asia where Japanese media was once strictly controlled -> Globalization • Fan subs • It’s immense popularity retained though many different formats (literature, animation, Live TV and film) • Good commentary on Japanese Society • Important style of Japanese media/ubiquitous in Japanese media • Utilizes many facets of Japanese media i.e. actors are also popular music stars, campaigns, different formats
Japanese Elements • Classism • Prestige of Eitoku Academy, Makino is pushed to go there by her parents • Ijime (Bullying) • Nishikado -> Tea Ceremony • Akira -> Yakuza • RESPONSIBILITY • Interestingly, Makino asserts herself as a strong woman in a deeply patriarchal society. This is not uncommon for Japanese Manga or Drama e.g. Revolutionary Girl Utena or Yankumi in Gokusen • She earns respect, despite economic class
