earth_colorsEp. 10: "Final episode's surprise extension! Are they going to get married? The impatient president's last crisis"
Episode Synopsis. Reiji (Ohno Satoshi) and Misaki (Haru) have finally reconciled. Reiji could not be any happier. However, Maiko (Koike Eiko) suggests he take it a bit further by tying the knot with Misaki. She also advises him to try and live with Misaki at first in order to test their relationship. Reiji is keen on the idea. But the problem is, every time Reiji asks Misaki to come to his apartment, she has been declining lately for some reason or another. He senses there is something wrong. Nevertheless, when Misaki heard that Reiji's father Kozo (Kosakai Kasuki) has come for a visit, she goes to Reiji's place without hesitation. Noticing this, Reiji hatches a plan...
Drama Notes:
Fishes mentioned by Reiji.
Isaki [イサキ]. Reiji mistakenly called "isaki" as "misaki. Isaki is a member of the grunt species of fish, and often prepared as sushi and sashimi. (info: sushi311) (pic: pref.nagasaki)
Kokontei Shincho III [三代目古今亭志ん朝] The rakugo artist Reiji was listening to, and whom he called "Shincho-san."
Mitsuyubi tsuite ojigi [三つ指ついてお辞儀]. Literally means, "three fingers on the floor and a bow". A traditional pose done by women during formal occasions (preferably wearing a kimono). Reiji claims that Misaki will be doing this pose when he comes home, implying that she is an obedient wife who does this pose of kneeling on the floor, three fingers on the floor, with a bow, as she welcomes her husband home.

What was actually said.
Uruguay. During the Shiritori game, Reiji mentioned "Uruguay" and formed a heart with his hands. Apparently, he is referring to the map of Uruguay which looks like a heart (the organ not the symbol).
MiRaKuru. Miura's pun about his "MiRa-Kuru" (miracle) is from "MIuRA ga kaisha ni KURU" (Miura will come to the company).
Misaki's formal language. Viewers may not know it but Misaki speaks in a formal language all throughout the drama (others who also never fail to speak formally were Reiji's secretary Maiko, and driver Ishigami). I tried to make her speech sound formal since the start but it was difficult, and thought it wasn't important to the storyline anyway. But in the end, it was mentioned all the same.
Filming Locations:
A parking lot in Akiya. Misaki's "land" where she'll build her hotel, and the site of their first kiss. Address: 1-chome Akiya, Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture (pic: miura-and-others)
Candeo Hotels Chiba. The site of "Restaurant Gosuke". Address: 1-45 Toriya-cho, Chiba Port Square, Chuo Ward, Chiba, Chiba Prefecture (pic: hotelista)
Nitelle Tower (also called Nippon TV Tower). Headquarters of Nippon TV. Site of Reiji's interview with Sakurai Sho. Address: 1-chome, Higashi-Shimbashi, Minato Ward, Tokyo (pic: blue-style)

Kitajima Saburo [北島三郎]. The enka singer Jack mentioned during the karaoke scene. Miura thought it was an "aggressive" choice that could overshadow him. The song Jack chose was "Matsuri" (hear it here).
