Having just watched the finale of my favorite drama this season, Buzzer Beat, I feel a little empty. Maybe it's because it's always hard to see the shows end that you love the most, but hey, there's always another good drama around the corner. I'm really looking forward to Tokyo Dogs (starting this month!), but I always keep my ear to a ground when waiting to hear what's coming up next season, and a batch of rumors popped up that may very well be worth having a look at. J-Drama Weblog posted a full list, which can be found after the jump, but the highly notable ones include Gokusen 4, Ryu ga Gotoku (for the inclusion of Arashi's ever popular Nino Kazunari), Bloody Monday 2 and Code Blue 2. Several sequels in there! Here's the facepalms -- no Nakama Yukie listed for Gokusen 4 (what is Gokusen with no Yankumi?)and Code Blue was not exactly Tomahisa Yamashita's best role. Maybe he can step it up a notch after Buzzer Beat, but I'm not so convinced. I'm thinking I might stick with Ryu ga Gotoku, and maybe try to catch up with Bloody Monday before the second season hits as I heard it's quite good. Any of these looking interesting to you?

I have to agree that Code Blue wasn't the best even though the cast members were nice to look at...So probably not gonna pick it up. I love Amami Yuki so will check out whatever she's gonna be in. Yamada Ryosuke's drama looks like another detective one. I enjoyed his role along with the others in Tantei Gakuen Q, so maybe I'll check it out. He's cute. =3 The others will need to wait for a more comprehensive summary I guess.
