Ryoko Hirosue stars as Chiyo, 20, a department store clerk, whose first encounter with Ryunosuke (Yutaka Takenouchi), 30, a carefree bachelor friend of her sister's, leads to a pregnancy. Although of different worlds, they fell in love but Chiyo's father doesn't want these youngsters to get married. After eight months of struggles and growing up, they finally accepted each other as partner.

From it's fantastic opening to it's tragic and brilliant latest episode, Shotgun Wedding is an original romantic comedy full of LOL moments.

The acting is the only problem which is below average.

I like to think of it as the friends that never was and I'd even compare the great show to Dr. Strangeglove.

I hope there is a DVD for it because it's my favorite show after LOST which is more of a drama than this (althought it does contain some very sad episodes) But the best things about it is: 1) The great plot which doesn't let you down 2) The slight mystery which takes an unexpected twist in one episode and keeps you guessing after 3) The star cast (I don't even need names, the cast is famous enough) 4) And the title 'SHOTGUN WEDDING', What a cool name!!!

Soundtrack and Theme Songs

1. Is It You? [Hitomi]

Toki wa kimagure yozora ni ukabu seiza wa
Nani o mono katari
Donna unmei o kureru no darou
Boku wa yume mite kokoro e to tsunagatte
Tatta hitotsu dake
Sore dake nagare hoshi ni negatta

Kimi da to shinjita shunkan ni
Tsuyoi kaze ga fuki midareta
Itsukara ka iya sareta
Tomadoi mo kiete
Sagai can't readeta mirai eto tsuzuku michi
Kimi to nara ikeru kamone
Kimi da yoko no tobira o aku kagi wa kitto

Ame ni mikka tsuki ano sora wa namida i can't reade
Donna nagusa memo nakute
Sugi yuku toki o matteru
Boku wa kimi nine tsutaeru kotoba o sagai can't reade
Kono sugata motto
Motto sono kokoro ni nokoi can't readai

Tsuyoku nareru kara modometeku kara
Donna koto ga atta toi can't reademo
Karamatta kyou datte
Akirame wa shinai
Kokoro ka yowasete eranda michi
Kimi to nara aruite iku yo
Atarashiku hajimaru sekai kono basho kara

Kuchibue o fuku you ni kiss o i can't reade
Ano hi no mama de iyou yo
Futari shikawakara nai
Kakure ie o sagai can't reade ne
Kono mama de sono mama de

Kimi da to shinjita shunkan ni
Tsuyoi kaze ga fuki midareta
Itsukara ka iya sareta
Tomadoi mo kiete
Sagai can't readeta mirai eto tsuzuku michi
Kimi to nara ikeru kamone
Kimi da yoko no tobira o aku kagi wa kitto

Kimi da to wakatta

時はきまぐれ夜空にうかぶ星座は
何をもの語り
どんな運命をくれるのだろう
僕は夢見て心へとつながって
たったひとつだけ
それだけ流れ星に願った

君だと信じた瞬間に
強い風が吹き乱れた
いつからか癒(いや)されて
とまどいも消えて
探してた未来へと続く道
君となら行けるかもネ
君だよこのトビラを開くカギはきっと

雨に三日月あの空は涙して
どんな慰(なぐさ)めもなくて
過ぎゆく時を待ってる
僕は君にネ伝える言葉を探して
この姿もっと
もっとその心に残したい

強くなれるから求めてくから
どんなコトがあったとしても
絡まった今日だって
諦めはしない
ココロかよわせて選んだ道
君となら歩いて行くよ
新しく始まる世界この場所から

口笛を吹くように KISSをして
あの日のままでいようよ
二人しかわからない
隠れ家を探してネ
このままでそのままで

君だと信じた瞬間に
強い風が吹き乱れた
いつからか癒(いや)されて
とまどいも消えて
探してた未来へと続く道
君となら行けるかもネ
君だよこのトビラを開くカギはきっと

君だとわかった

2. Your Eyes Only [Exile]

Days nanimo nai heyachuu ni
Hirogeta ano yume wa sore demo
Mata nakushicha nainda

Sway tashika ni nanimo kamo ga
Yotei touri no wakejanai kara
Nagedai can't readaku naru kedo

Sore demo omoi egaku jibun ni
Sukoshi chizuketa kana?
Now I know

Aimai na yume no yukue o
Sono hitomi ni utsui can't reade
Tada kimi ga kureru egao
Sagashi tsuzuketeta ne

Pray tayori nai inori demo
Dekiru dake no koto wa i can't readakute
Ososugiru ii wake sa

Mou ichido moshi mata aetara
Sukoshi ude o hareru kana?
Where are you now?

Aimai na boku no mirai o
Sono hitomi ni utsui can't reade
Mujun dara kenowa ga mama de
Kizuketeta ne

Kawaranai mono wa hitotsu dake
Toki dake ga sugite yuku
Furi muita kono basho niwa
Kimi dake ga inai

Aimai na boku no katachi wa
Sono hitomi wa ima demo
Oikakete kureteru kana?
Todokanai Love song for you

Days なにもない部屋中に
広げたあの夢はそれでも
まだ失くしちゃないんだ

Sway 確かになにもかもが
予定通りのわけじゃないから
投げ出したくなるけど

それでも思い描く自分に
すこし近づけたかな?
Now I know

曖昧な夢の行方を
その瞳に映して
ただキミがくれる笑顔
探し続けてたね

Pray 頼りない祈りでも
出来るだけのことはしたくて
遅すぎるいいわけさ

もう一度もしまた会えたら
すこし胸をはれるかな?
Where are you now?

曖昧なぼくの未来を
その瞳に映して
矛盾だらけのわがままで
傷つけてたね

変わらない(Time-)ものは一つだけ
時だけが過ぎてゆく
振り向いたこの場所には
キミだけがいない

曖昧なぼくの輪郭を
その瞳はいまでも
追いかけてくれてるかな?
届かないLove song for you
