P.S.元気です、俊平/ P.S. Genki Desu Shunpei by Koichi Domoto
I found the lyrics to the theme song Naze by Hysteric Blue. You could listen to it here with Japanese lyrics or here in higher quality or watch an MV here.
なぜ by Hysteric Blue
Naze mitsumeru hodo
Ikichigau no, futari no koi
Hakari ni kaketeta, totemo furui
Wasureteta omoide to korekara to
Sodachi hajimeteta, karui kimochi
Itsu mademo hitori demo sabishikute
Kikitai demo kikenai
Migi no te ni futatsu no yubiwa
Amaete mite ii kana
Ki no kiita guuzen
Naze mitsumeru hodo
Ikichigau no futari no koi
Naosara mada koerarenai
Mikansei na futari no kyouri
Iya ni hashaideta, doyou no yoru
Arifureta danshou no sono naka de
Majime na kao shite futo tsubuyaku
Hitogoto ga doushitemo ki ni natte
Kakeru furishita denwa
Jikan dake miteru no shitteru
Hanashitai hanasanai
Nee konya kaeranai
Gutto dakishimete
Naze akireru hodo
Ki ni shichau no, mukashi no koi
Sayonara tada koetakunai
Fuantei na fukai omoi
Naze mitsumeru hodo
Ikichigau no futari no koi
English
Why is it that the more I look at you
The more our love goes off track?
I began to weigh my choices
Of very old memories against things yet to happen
It's just begun to grow, these light emotions
Being always alone is also so lonely
I want to ask, but I can't
About the two rings in your left hand
I wonder if it would be alright to try depending on you
It was a tempting coincident
Why is it that the more I look at you
The more our love goes off track?
And all the more I still can't overcome it
The incomplete distance between us
We played around half-heartedly, that Saturday night
In the middle of our usual casual talking
You became serious, and suddenly murmured
That one word that still weighs on my mind
Pretending I'd called you on the phone
I know that I'm only watching the time
I want to speak to you, I won't let go
I won't go home tonight
Hold me tight
Why do we worry about past romances
To the point where we're disgusted with each other
Good-bye, I just don't want to overcome
These unstable, deep feelings
Why is it that the more I look at you
The more our love goes off track?

Posted May 23, 2006:
Last night I finish watching PS Genki Desu Shunpei / P.S. I'm fine Shunpei by Koichi and even though the story is very similar to the Tacky's story Boku dake no Madonna / You are my only Madonna, and Tokyo University Love Story by Goro Inagaki, this story is much more together and has a better effect and reminds me the purity of love for some people.




In Tokyo University Love Story, Seto Asaka plays the same role as she did in PS Genki Desu where she is lively, vibrant, but likes to tease. With Goro, she's an encouraging type but I don't like her. Too contrived a character to be so sunny.
In PS Genki, she is equally sunny, but more conniving, always says things she doesn't mean.
In Tacky's drama, the girl Matsushima Nanako was equally annoying, lying all the time.
In PS Genki, and Tacky's Madonna, both are older girls and younger boys and they always have this assumed air of being more experienced than the boy and toy with them. What a pain.
But of all the three stories, I like Koichi's the best.
Koichi played a very inexperienced student who had to do remedial classes and retest for entry to a university and he got recruited by Asaka to sell maps when he neared the campus for the first time.
Asaka had a doctor boyfriend but her good friend stole him and he regretted it and tried to get back with her. Koichi has once a first love but his first love left him because he was dumpy and foolish - not knowing how to express himself. Ha....my Koichi is dumpy and foolish???? That's quite an act on Koichi's part. Never seen him so flustered, so stuck with words. It's a good show.
In real life, I think he's extremely smooth and the life of a party and one who mingles around crowd easily and connect people as though that's his mission. So this got to be an interesting role for him. His helplessness is so refreshing to watch.
And his growing jealousy as he liked this girl more and more versus his first love who suddenly returned to him.
Although I still don't like Asaka's character role, it serves the story well. Asaka's nonsense gets boring for me as the two other girls in the other two dramas , that's why I lump them all together. But this drama stands out because in the end, I feel for Koichi's character, being so pure, so innocent, so elegantly put, so loving...sigh...what a character.
Yep, suddenly I treasure my husband more .... It's the sense of commitment that he conveys that's very convincing, that no matter how difficult, that's what you want and you stick with it.
Highly recommended if you are a new fan. This is as good as City of Pure Souls where he played a character very loyal to friends and family character amid triad activities. I like Koichi's dramas the more I watch him. Too bad there are very few only.

No one has subbed this series at all. Not even Malaysia. So you
would have to watch it and add your own dialog.
