J-drama: ウォーターボーイズ2 (Water Boys 2)
This series will replace To the One I Love, starting Sun July 25th at the 8:30pm timeslot. Note that ep 01 might be a long episode, and that the Fujisankei website has noted that the ep might start as early at 8:15pm that night. correction: it's 7:30pm not 8:30pm (thanks asfreeasthewind)
official hp: http://wwwc.fujitv.co.jp/waterboys2/index2.html
Water Boys 2 contains a totally differently cast from the previous Water Boys.
synopsis, taken from the FujiTV english site:
Three years ago, the former all-girl Himeno High School opened its doors to male students, but remains a female-dominated institution with the majority of students being girls.
One day Eikichi Mizushima transfers from prestigious Aoba High School in Tokyo where he was a member of the swimming team. While his father is away in New York starting a new business, Eikichi has decided to come to Himeji and live with his grandfather Kamekichi.
Yosuke Yamamoto had always wanted to establish a boy's sports club in school. When he learns that Eikichi belonged to a swimming club, he springs into action.
The other boys in the school include Senichi Kawasaki nicknamed "Wolf Boy Sen", the good-looking Iwao Iwata who is the only boy the girls talk to, and Hideki Sano, the rich son of the President of a major supermarket, who is always surrounded by fans. Eikichi's arrival soon influences the boys in school and changes their way of thinking.
Eikichi is surrounded by unique characters at the school. Shiori Yazawa, a senior at Himeno High, together with her parents Akira and Kaoru, live in a rented portion of Kamekichi's house. Kayo Oba, the student body president, is feared by the boys. Kozue Kitagawa, a devilish girl, belongs to the school wind ensemble together with Shiori. The substitute teacher Hijiri Saotome is a former swimmer at Tadano High School. English teacher Natsuko Ohara strongly opposes "men's synchronized swimming." Classic literature teacher Haruka Koshino hates men. And then there's the coffee shop owner Kozo Kasuya, who has something fishy about him.

Re: J-drama: Water Boys 2
Thanks Sandy and Asfreeasthe wind!
I too never saw the original Water Boys. It was pretty late. But this one, since it has a different cast, could be more different from the original.

The original was the movie (which I have to say was really good), then came the tv series, and now a second season of the tv series

Re: J-drama: Water Boys 2
The smart twin? He's kinda suited for that role, a lot of the people from Hotman seem Water Boys-type characters. So, when is it starting?

Re: J-drama: Water Boys 2
Looks like Sunday, July 25th is gonna be "Sequel Sunday", where we have the sequal series of our favorite shows! Ignore the stupid puns, if you've watched TV Land, you know they give days that have a certain theme stupid names. I guess to not miss Kintarou 4, we have to tape this, or vice versa.
