After the sudden disbandment of his band and his girlfriend leaves him, Yano
Kenta (Ohno Satoshi) also loses his job, and to make matters worse, his father
wants him to pay back money he used on him. As he is job hunting, he by
accident enters the wrong door and is hired as an “Uta no Onii-san” (Singing
Brother), a children’s singing program. With no other job offers, and a debt he
has to pay, he decides to go, only to meet an annoying superstar everyone is
afraid to make angry. The superstar has the concept of ‘children’s’ program
completely reverse by trying to grab the attention of the mothers, and it made
him famous. The staff doesn’t dare to do anything about it since if he leaves
the show might lose the viewer ratings, and when Kenta speaks against him and
even manages to change the focus away from him, the entire program gets renewed
and Kenta starts to understand why his members decided to leave him…
To tell the truth I
only watched this one because of Ohno, and I enjoyed that part a lot, but to be
honest it is kind a cute. The entire lazy-ass rock star delinquent turning into
a hardworking singing brother, and to top that a bit of Japanese “save the
show” spice to add on. It’s just not for everyone, because it can seem a bit
dull, but I found it pretty funny, even entertaining. I wouldn’t say that I
completely recommend it, but it’s a okay time of spend a day or maybe to, like
only 8 episodes :)
