Hanako-san

A new drama started tonight on TV Japan. It’s called “Kaettekita Rokkaa no Hanako-san” and it’s really funny! It is the story of a ghost and her former friends who are all O.L.’s. She lives in a locker in the maintenance room of the company. It is sort of like “I Dream of Jeannie” because while she is in her locker, she is small and has a nice room. Her friends are able to see her and talk to her because they are all incompetent workers. That is the requirement for being able to see her. Pretty wacky. This is the new show that takes over the timeslot that “Niko Niko Diary” had. That was a nice show, and the ending was good too! One strange thing about the new show is that the theme song is the same one as used in “Niko Niko Diary”, and they are two totally different stories.
