Furuhata Ninzaburo Season 2 progress report

Episode 10:
July 27, 2014
Apologies for the irregular updates.  The good news, episode 10 is finished!
This episode, Furuhata and Imaizumi travel to New York City on a bus and must solve
a murder.  Suzuki Honami is the guest star.   


This is an unusual episode that doesn't follow the usual formula of other episodes.   The killer and the crime are not revealed in the beginning and we never actually see the crime being committed.  The ending is different as well. 

Episode 9:
March 24, 2014
This episode has been completed and released!

February 23, 2014
This time Furuhata shows us his bowling form and solves a case involving mistaken identity. Kazama Morio is his adversary in this episode.   

Translation is complete, editing in progress.



Episode 8:
February 23, 2014:
This episode is ready for your viewing pleasure!

February 17, 2014:
The late actor, Yamashiro Shingo is a retired magician who takes on Furuhata.

A young Matsu Takako guest stars in this episode also.  ( Trivia time:  Matsu Takako's father, Matsumoto Koshiro and her brother, Ichikawa Somegoro also appear in the Furuhata series ).

Final editing is in progress.

Episode 7:
January 8, 2014
Episode 7 has been released!

January 5, 2014
This episode is pending release.  I have to double check everything one last time.  Furuhata enters the world of antique wares and must solve a case involving a rare artifact.  

November 29, 2013
Translation is finished for this episode but there are some difficult lines that need to be reviewed.  It's uncommon vocabulary and terminology pertaining to the plot and characters of this episode.  Editing is in progress but may take a while as holiday season is very busy and hectic both personally and at work.  So... please be patient.  Hope to release this episode as soon as possible.  

Episode 6:
October 29, 2013
This episode has been released.  Please refer to the translator's notes if some of the lines don't make sense, especially the proverbs and the quiz portions.  But overall, this shouldn't affect the general plot.  

October 28, 2013
Release is pending for this episode, guest starring Karasawa Toshiaki.  Furuhata takes on a quiz show champion. 



Episode 5:
August 14, 2013
Episode 5 is out for your viewing enjoyment! 

August 12, 2013
Furuhata and Imaizumi are called to investigate a script writer, guest starring Kato Haruko. Furuhata is a big fan.  ( Doesn't this often seem the case, or is he just pretending in order to outwit the suspect? )   

There are many off-handed references to other characters or scenes from other episodes during the series.  In this episode, Momoi Kaori is mentioned.  She was the actress who guest starred in Episode 11.  Which other references have you noticed?  

Anyway, this episode is nearly finished.  Final editing is in progress.

Episode 4:
June 19, 2013
This episode has been released.

May 5, 2013
Kimura Takuya guest stars in this episode.  Bit of trivia, Tamura Masakazu and Kimura Takuya starred together in Kyousoukyoku later in 1996.  ( Boring, slow drama if you ask me, but I guess some people liked it. )   

Translation is about 20 percent done so far.  



Episode 3:
May 4, 2013
Episode 3 is finished.  

May 2, 2013
A few lines need to be edited and this episode will be ready.  Will be going out of town this weekend, so hopefully it can be finished and uploaded before I leave.


Episode 2:
March 18, 2013:
Episode 2 is finished.  

February 25, 2013:  
Translation has begun for Episode 2, starring Sawaguchi Yasuko.  20% complete so far. 

Episode 1:
February 28, 2013:  
Episode 1 has been completed and released!

February 27, 2013:
Translation for the first episode is done.  Editing is 95% complete, but there are some legal terms and stuff like that to review.  

February 11, 2013:
Machi and I have started subbing Episode 1 of the second season.   The first is a two-part episode, starring Akashiya Sanma.   Translating for the first part is finished and maybe 20 percent of the second part is done.  But work on this and subsequent episodes will take
time as we don't have as much free time to work on this season as the last one. Releases may be slow and will probably be done on an irregular schedule.

Further updates will be announced as progress is made.

    Sorry there has been no recent update. The last episode of this season is two parts just like the first episode. The first half is translated and maybe 40 percent of the second part.

    Because of the holiday season, things are very busy so not sure when it will be finished. We're aiming for before the new year, but we'll have to see how that goes.

    After that, there are no plans as of yet to do season 3.
