LADY ~So Far~

Kitagawa Keiko, Kimura Tae, Hiraoka Yuta, Sudo Risa and Kaname Jun
Well, just finished watching the first episode of LADY~ Saigo No Hanzai Profile~, and I have to say that the show didn’t thrill me as much as I hoped. I was really excited to see Keiko Kitagawa get back into the seat of a leading role, but so far, it doesn’t feel ANYTHING like a Keiko starring vehicle. It’s more of an ensemble show, and for the most part Keiko’s character is just another part of the team.

Oh sure, there are segments where it focuses on Keiko’s character; her personal life and eccentric methods of deciphering the clues, but you still don’t really get the feeling like she’s the “main” character. In fact, if ANYTHING, it’s Tae Kimura’s character Yuki Akira that seems more like the lead!

Ah well, we'll see how things progress in the upcoming episodes....
