Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 3

2nd day of sore body and aches. I am trying to bear with the pain but seems like a bit..hehe...too difficult.

Let me share with you my views on the new season of Emergency Room 24 Hr (the Japanese name is on top as my title).



A title shot of the show



Another picture of the lead characters in Season 3.

This series is believed to be the Japanese answer to American version of "E.R" series. As Japanese is known to be abled to localise foreign product to fit into their culture, this perception is not alien.

But this series has this uniqueness which I am not denying,and it is realli good even though you dun see the American version as they are based in totally different settings altogether

Initially, I had this negative perception about this new season as I dun like the cast. They have practically changed everyone except Eguchi Yosuke. As you may have guessed, I am a staunch fan of the second series with the smoldering chemistry between Dr Shindo (Eguchi) and Heart Specialist (Matsuyuki Yasuko). So since there is no chemistry between Eguchi and Matsushima Nanako, I hate a bit. But since I have done a research on it, I might as well take a second look at the drama again.

I must say, the plot and the setting is very very fantastic even though the cast has changed. An inspiring storyline there, with reflection on the history of Tokyo.

Tokyo as a cosmopolitan city and certainly a global one, depends very very much on its status as a global city. Since the Shogunate Era, it is aredi one of the more established city in Japan. But it has withstand a certain number of disasters since then. One of which is the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake that hit Tokyo and other areas. This earthquake totally destroyed Tokyo's aredi crowded, divided areas -- Yamanote and Shitamachi. The division can still be seen today. This earthquake changed the structure of Tokyo and raise the awareness of the potential of earhtquake in Tokyo. The neccessary precautions and the emergency plans must be there since Tokyo now is an important base for a lot of TNMCs and so on. Anything happened there could be disasterous.



Rubbles everywhere during the 1923 Earthquake.



Houses are down like paper houses, killing a lot of people, resulting in massive losses

I think this show must have done the research on this. and Again bring on the awareness that may have waned over the years.

Great show that u must watch. I still think that I have a lingering tendency to give myself a reason to convince me to watch the show. hehe

If anyone of you are interested in the comparison studies of "E.R." and this "kyumei Byoto 24 Ji", can ask me for the copy of my group research paper.hehe
