Mia Sep 25 2018 9:04 pm Wow! I remember watching the original drama series waaaaaaaaay back in the 80's. My whole family would sit down to watch it together. Then crying a river after the end of every episode. I haven't seen the movie yet but will plan to!

Max Jun 20 2018 5:23 pm I'm Ueto Aya and Kishimoto Kayoko fan. I had seen the NHK drama a long time ago, and didn't finish watching all the episodes, because there were too many of them,in span of about 1 year.

Now I look forward to watching it.

Merdeka, Indonesia!

jasmine Feb 15 2016 9:57 pm You might not believe, but it's true I used the OST of Oshin as my ringtone for a long time. Now I must to thank TV Chanel Wakuwaku for airing Oshin this late Feb... (I watched its advertisement just now, today, Tue, 6 Feb 2016)

The story of Oshin has influenced my life. Merdeka Indonesia!

Vishnu Pandey May 18 2015 5:07 am I watched this series 'Oshin' in Japan. I wonder if some one can tell me if there is a DVD available and where can I find it. I lived in Japan during those years and I understand Japanese. Now I live in U.S.A.

Alan Chan May 06 2015 6:52 am I watched this movie on the planes could someone please tell us where to purchase a copy of the beautiful movie?

niher chowdhury Feb 18 2015 6:03 am I had viewed the entire Oshin film over T.V few years back along with my family members and never failed one date to attend timely. The actress particularly in her childhood and in youth acted so brilliantly in black & white photography, we never forgotten it. We do want to see that picture today itself to satisfy our satiety for OSHIN once more.

Ravi Chukkapalli Jan 19 2015 2:28 pm I did watch this movie on a flight from JFK to Tokyo. I was crying . Ko kone Hamada acted so great.

guvanshi Apr 24 2014 8:34 am from where can we get the dvd

S.M.sastry Apr 19 2014 7:02 am I saw this film in T.V. 19 years back. after that, I could not and did not see any cinema for almost five years. All other cinemas looked very pale, compared to this. as I see the images of Oshin, tears roll down my eyes. That small child artist made our family shed tears and we were not ashamed of it.

Glenn Shono Mar 30 2014 2:40 pm UTBhollywood in Los Angeles (channel 18.2) is rebroadcasting Oshin on Sundays at 8:00-9:00AM) with a repeat at 8:00-9:00PM. Three episodes are shown every Sunday. As of 3-30-14, 156 episodes have been shown.

Kari Mar 27 2014 3:19 am This movie made my trip from Bangkok to Norway spesiely. It's the best movie I have seen for a long time. I have been working with this kind of work in more than 30 years.... If I can buy this film, I will do it at once ,and keep it carefully! Thank you to the people made this movie! Best regard from Kari

plodo45 Feb 25 2014 2:37 pm watched this movie on the plane (JAL)......fantastic...Love it

when is the DVD release, anybody, please...

90degreechaos Feb 23 2014 5:12 pm I have so much love for japanese movies. I have only watched the trailer but I can feel it will be worth my two hours. The kid - Kokone Hamada - will have to go through the filming, must be really hard. I hope to see her in future films..and I hope she will chosse her stories wel.. :)

wenny yeriko Feb 15 2014 11:13 pm I wacthed original version when I was 10 years, and from then I am a film lover, but still there is a value of live lesson-history-true event that I still remember from Oshin story. It was so original, that I could not possibly forget. I usually have a critical mind when I see a film, because I love qualities ones. Quality can't be a result of simple live, the hard ones does. Two thumbs up for the producers & all crews of Oshin. You had opened the auditions' eye of past Japanese women's life. God bless you all

TB Yap Oct 21 2013 2:58 am Perhaps, we can identify with Oshin becos we see a part of us in her. It's always nice to see how inner strength can conquer outer harsh circumstances. Films should be made of this kind of quality. It is true that Korean drama themes are getting too copy cat and sugary. It's almost always the same old love story or good verses bad. They need to reinvent themselves and go beyond the obvious and mundane.

There are actually true incredible stories that they missed becos of their limited life experiences.

Sng Florence Oct 17 2013 10:09 pm Pinko izumi act as oshin mom in t 80s

Vincent K Aug 08 2013 8:55 pm I watched lots of K-drama when I was in Indonesia. 대장금 (Jewel in The Palace) and 49 days were among my fave. But now that I've been living in Korea for almost 2 years, I found that (most of) K-dramas are toooo sugary. They have added too much rose tint in their history and reality. Korean living actually is more depressing than inspiring. Now personally I want to revisit more on Japanese culture than Korean. I was too young to understand the series when it first aired. Now I get it and have a deeper appreciation toward J-drama. Oshin is one of it, I don't know much obout J-drama though.

Angelina Jul 23 2013 1:42 am "Kokone Hamada was selected to play Oshin Tanimura after auditioning among 2471 other candidates." OMG...really >.< so many kids then. But congratz to the little her. :D Hmmmm, maybe I should wait and watch this one. I have too many Kdramas to wait and watch LOL.

Jaleh May 11 2013 12:09 pm I've seen Oshin Drama 1984 when I was 12 years old.(I was the same old as Kobayashi Ayako) .That was my mom and me favorite drama.

Pepy May 03 2013 7:51 pm I first watch this when I was a kid and lived in Indonesia. The first Japanese drama I watched
