[HAWAII TV] A Taiga Drama TV Reminder...

[Ranger REG]

The first episode of the Taiga Drama, Miyamoto Musashi, will air Tuesday night, 8pm, local time. It will repeat on the following Sunday night at 7pm if you can't watch it on Tuesday.

Almost forgot. It will be shown on KIKU, broadcast channel 20. It will show English subtitle.

Is this something new? I recently read Eiji Yoshikawa's novel about Musashi, and a friend told me about a movie version (Samurai) starring Toshiro Mifune. Is this something different?

On the other hand, don't answer, because I won't be able to see it anyway.

The book was great though.

AFAIK, new to Hawaii, imported from Japan. Taiga Drama in Japan TV is like Telenovelas in Latin TV, but less soapy. They're usually historical adaptations. Each mega-series usually consist of at least 10 hour-long episodes.

Too bad I'm not in Hawaii.
Let me know how it is. Hopefully it will be available on DVD later.
