heyyyyyy! such a favorable drama, i love the adorable children, but the most impressive ones are Donquixote (shota matsuda) and Sancho Panza (Katsumi Takahashi). They make children believe in good things^^

am i supposed to be excited? Matsuda's figure as Akiyama Shin'ichi in Liar Game stuck to me like a gum and it ain't coming out real soon.
