Kalen Anzai cast as Ayu in the drama adaptation of "M 愛すべき人がいて"

[mizuki-7]

It’s strange Oricon reported 5.2 or something like that for the first episode stating it was the best rating of the year for this time slot And episode 2 was about the same. So I would say this drama is doing pretty good for what it is lol and it’s seems quite a lot of personne watch it on Ameba Tv.


Edit :
4月18日 4月19日 俺の作った虹を渡れ! アユ…歌姫誕生への壮大な愛憎劇!! 木下高男 5.6％

Ratings can also differ a lot by region, but usually the rating that is looked at most is the Kanto numbers. There'd also be some average household ratings vs. average viewer ratings which may differ.

Looks like filming is resuming for the drama.

That would be nice

Ep. 4 is up https://blitzfansub.com/m-ai-subeki-...ite-episode-4/

According to Blitz Fansub on Twitter: "M is back! Episode 4. The news is that much of the script was rewritten during the haitus, and the screenwriter removed significant amount of Reika in the second half of the series."

Wasn't the biggest fan of her character in the first place so I'm quite happy with the decision. She was only added to stir things up so it's not like she needs to be in it that much anyway.

[attractive nausea]

This episode sucked. Now the series is just Masa fighting against everyone for Ayu to be taken seriously and Reika being a psycho while Ayu is standing awkwardly in the background.

[Toniayu123]

^this lol Sometimes I even think they tried to make a comedy. I never disliked a character that much as I do with Masa’s. Just ew.

[ayu_fantasy]

The fictional reika is annoying. She really don’t need to be there. Ayu seems to be like a puppet that is dictate fully by masa

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

They have to stop filming again due to covid infections rising again in Tokyo, and they’re unable to secure additional filming time from all the actors involved due to schedule conflicts, meaning it could be cancelled or postponed for a “season 2” type of thing.

It was nice to hear Kalen actually sing poker face!

[maxikot]

^ I saw a piece of information that the cast and the screenwriter of the show gave an interview on Tokyo FM radio how they had finished recording the last chapter.
I enjoyed episode 4. Aside from some very few flaws, this show has kept giving me a good time! And to me, the less Reika the better

[truehappiness]

It'll probably end up being like how some anime end up split into multiple cour per season so there'll probably be more later.

I couldn't agree more. It's been the worst episode by far... It looked like Reika was the main character

[Andrenekoi]

I don't really get the whole "Oh, Masa fighting against everyone for Ayu to ve taken seriously" thing... She was a nobody whose producer was investing a lot more than a label should based on a hunch.

It's not like Ayu could do much more other than working hard. You can't make a power move yourself when you have no power to begin with...

[attractive nausea]

^ Except in the show she is not working hard at all. She is just shown as a naive girl who can’t do sh#t by herself.

Spoiler:

In this last episode, she is shown to be emotionless while singing in the studio for poker face, then Masa comes in and tells her to sing as if she was singing to the person she wrote the song for and thanks to him she manages to sing properly.

Then because of her naive ass, Rika managed to get her sick and she is shown failing to sing in front of a producer because she has a fever. Instead of showing her determination (I thought she would end up trying as hard as she can to sing despite her condition, showing how determined and hard working she is), she just gives up and is being yelled at by Max for being unprofessional. So, in this episode, hard work is NOT the term to describe Ayu.

[visionfactory]

I want to watch next episode so bad we still don't get to A Song for XX

At least for me ep.3 and ep.4 were the most fun to watch

The episode depicted Ayu in such a bad light. She seem to be someone without any form of potential to be a star (no effort, nothing). And masa is the one that seeem to aggressively want to make her a superstar. (And everyone thinks that he invest so much in Ayu is cos he is blinded by love)

As long as crazy horny secretary is still there, I'm happy.
