Poster for Quartet ("カルテット") (2017)
1. Adult's Law (Japanese: おとなの掟) (Otona no Okite) is the theme song of the Japanese TV drama Quartet ("カルテット") (2017).
This 10 episodes TV drama aired weekly in Japan between January 17, 2017 and March 21, 2017.
The four main characters formed a string quartet in the TV drama called "Doughnuts Hole" and the theme song is credited to Doughnuts Hole.
2. There are more Asian TV dramas produced each year than I can possibly watched and choosing what to watch is often a hit or miss affair.
I sometimes skim the first two episodes of a TV drama to see if I like it enough to watch the rest; other times I look at the user ratings on different websites to look for what to watch.
In the case of Quartet (2017), it was by word of mouth: One of my younger brothers recommended this TV drama to me.
I thoroughly enjoyed this TV drama.
Not only is one of the lead actresses, Takako Matsu, one of my favourite Japanese actresses, the script of this drama is very sophisticated.
When I watched the first episode for the first time, I knew I was missing some of the storylines.
I have to watch the first episode a second time to know what was going on.
As a matter of fact, I have watched the first episode a third and fourth time for the pure enjoyment of it.
And the rest of Quartet (2017) did not disappoint either.
3. The four actors that formed the string quartet Doughnuts Hole are:
Takako Matsu (松 たか子) (as Maki Maki);
Ryuhei Matsuda (松田 龍平) (as Tsukasa Beppu);
Hikari Mitsushima (満島ひかり) (as Suzume Sebuki);
Issei Takahashi (高橋 一生) (as Yutaka Iemori).
