Talk:Taiga drama

message: Just out of curiosity, What's the significance or meaning behind calling these drama "taiga", meaning "great stream"? LordAmeth 08:32, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "taiga" is loosely translated as "great river". A great river can be used as an analogy for describing time's past, as in the river of time. So in a way, if you were to hop on a boat and allowed the great river to take you in, you'd basically go back in time and experience all of these great events. Groink 09:27, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I like that metaphorical imagery. Very Japanese. I should have figured. Thank you. LordAmeth 12:27, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Strange that someone is requesting photos. The Japanese Wikipedia is virtually photo-free - including its Taiga Drama article. Photos should only be used to describe something that words cannot; showing screen snapshots of people wearing whigs and kimono doesn't really add any value to this article IMHO.

replies: text: Based on my entry in the talk page. There are NO photos on this subject in the Japanese Wikipedia. And, because of Wikipedia's change of point-of-view regarding fair use photos, you won't find a photo that will be accepted by Wikipedia. And besides - that was added one month ago. After one month and zero photos, why leave that request up there. Groink 06:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are no time limits on photo requests, and there are far fewer images of _anything_ on the Japanese Wikipedia, so while I now get why you removed the tag-the points you just made are specious. Chris 06:33, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know which of the Taiga series are broadcast in HD? Perhaps it is noteworthy in the comments section. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 15:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be noteworthy in the series' individual articles. But not in the taiga drama article. This article is meant to define "taiga drama". As for what shows are HD, they go as far back as Toshiie to Matsu. All series starting with TtM are broadcast in HD. So one could write in something along those lines, like what someone did with black and white to color. Groink (talk) 18:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I went over to the Japanese Wikipedia for a look, and based on my very limited understanding of Japanese Kanji, it seems the list over there recognizes Saka no Ue no Kumo as a "21st Century Special Taiga Drama". Should we merge the two lists together? It makes more sense that way... Kiteinthewind   Leave a message! 21:53, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

message: What exactly do the ratings mean?
I'm asking because Fuu-rin-ka-zan has a rating of 18.7% in the table, but a score of 8.5/10 on IMDB. The discrepancy is seemingly so big, that I can only conclude that these two figures are measuring different things.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.114.146.117 (talk) 22:17, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
