There's a Monday night drama starring Kimutaku about hockey players
that's been driving up the sales of Queen CD's in Japan because the
theme song is by Queen.  And there's a Friday or Saturday night series
that is supposed to be a faithful adaptation of the American sitcom
"Bewitched" but based in Tokyo.  There are dramas on every day.  Just
check the newspapers.  It's a good way to study Japanese-you can hear
and see dialogue used in context.
