Today is the 53rd birthday of the famous Japanese screenwriter Shinji Nojima. Born in Kashiwasaki City, Niigata Prefecture, Shinji Nojima, who studied at Chuo University in Japan and studied briefly at UCLA in the United States, has created many classic works in the history of Japanese drama since the late 1980s.
The tricky and sometimes even somewhat heavy taste of the creative style has also made him gain many hardcore fans. (Yes, the po lord is a troublemaker)
The po lord will take an inventory of what "magical" works Nojima Shinji has.
(The following plot introduction is mostly excerpted from Douban)
Under the same roof
Director: Kōtō Nakae / Kozo Nagayama
Writers: Shinji Nojima
Enko: Yosuke Eguchi / Masaharu Fukuyama / Kosei Ishida / Noriko Sakai / Emi Oji et.
On the ninth day of the spring of 1993, it tells the warm family story of the marathon runner's retired big brother who brought together scattered brothers and sisters, and the six brothers and sisters were constantly arguing "under the same roof" but full of laughter.
This work is another hit work by Shinji Nojima after "101 Marriage Proposals" and "In the Name of Love", which basically established the status of a well-known screenwriter, and since then, Nojima has embarked on the "road of no return" of free playing as he pleases.
Human disqualification
导导: Yoshida Ken / Yoshida Akio
Enko: Akira Domoto / Koichi Domoto / Hidekazu Akai / Sachiko Makii / Ryoko Oginome / etc...
1994 Summer Golden Ten Drama.
Makoto Oba (Tsuyoshi Domoto) is a new transfer student who took the first place in the first exam and rescued the bullied in the class. Cheng's "pulling the wind" behavior has aroused the envy of a considerable number of people.
The class instructor, Morita (Sachiko Kushii), is a confused teacher who has no heart and is confused, and she has no idea what is happening in the class, but only tells the class leader, Shadow Mountain Ryuka (Koichi Domoto), to take good care of her new classmates. Absolute obedience to the teacher's Decision to be good friends with Xiao Cheng, he not only protects Xiao Cheng, but also develops hazy feelings for him.
Ruka's feelings are discovered by Shinmi Sensei (Kashi Ōju), in fact, Shinmi has dirty thoughts about Ryuka, and his heart is extremely twisted, and he decides to do whatever it takes to frame XiaoCheng in a crazy way...
This is a very impactful work, school bullying, same-sex love, teacher-student ban, etc. all caused a great impact on the society at that time.
However, the po lord only wanted to say: Domoto Gang and Hikari were so tender!
lipstick
Director: Kamasaku Sawada / Kozo Nagayama
Actors: Hiroshi Mikami / Ryoko Hiromi / Yosuke Kuwazuka / Chizuru Ikewaki / Step Ito / etc...
Spring 9, 1999. The young girl Hayakawa Lan (Ryoko Hiromi) is sent to a juvenile shelter for an injury incident. Lan is silent and tries to escape from the shelter at the first opportunity, but she is caught by the instructor Ariaki Yu (Hiroshi Mikami). She is shared by four girls with very different personalities, Annai (Aimi Nakamura), Eriko (Itobu), Makoto, and Kodo. At night, there is a suicide attempt in the dormitory, and it turns out that Annai was instigated by her boyfriend (Yosuke Wazuka). It was precisely because of her boyfriend's instructions to help communicate, and the two were both sent to the shelter. On the other hand, Lan Yimen's mind escaped and disobeyed the management of the instructor. Yu, who learned the inside story, helped her and made an agreement with her to be a good child and strive to go out as soon as possible.
Juvenile delinquency, early love, incest these elements are mixed in this lipstick, so that the drama has a very strong dark color, and finally see You and Lan hug together again, the po lord is also in tears.
Pride/Ice Lovers

Yashu arouses Haruharu's interest, and under Haru's attack, Yashu agrees to become his "contract girlfriend", and once Yashu's legitimate boyfriend returns, the relationship ends.

Invited to watch the match, Yashu initially felt that the game was too brutal, but later became attracted to it and became the source of Haruharu's strength. A story of sports and love intertwined in sweat and tears...
Although Nojima's works are famous for their curiosity, this pure love is still quite beautiful

Miko, who occasionally hoped to be taken care of, twisted an egg with only 500 yen, and who knew that the next morning she actually saw her handsome brother (Kishi Yuta).
The interesting story unfolds...
Why Nojima Shinji can write so many sharp works, in addition to Nojima fans' brain holes and excellent writing, dare to face social reality to reflect social problems so that his subject matter is often very deep, juvenile delinquency in "Lipstick", forbidden love in "Human Disqualification", etc. are areas that other screenwriters dare not touch or do not want to touch, which is also one of the important reasons why his works can be unique.
In addition to the above, Nojima Shinji also has many excellent works, such as "101 Marriage Proposals", "College Teachers", "Poetry at the End of the Century", "Love Shuffle", "Lost Love", "49", "Platonic", and "Tomorrow's Mother Is Not Here", although he is not a screenwriter, but he is a supervisor, and interested relatives can explore it for themselves
Finally, once again, I wish Nojima-san a happy 53rd birthday ~ I hope that more good works will appear in the future!
