出演:木村拓哉/山口智子/竹野内豊/稲森いずみ/松たか子/りょう
監督:永山耕三/鈴木雅之/臼井裕詞(演出)

"ロンバケ"の愛称で知られる木村拓哉&山口智子主演のラブ・ストーリー全11話をDVD-BOX化!

1996年4月からフジテレビ系列で放送されたドラマ"ロンバケ"こと「ロングバケーション」全11話をDVD化。結婚式当日、婚約者に逃げられた売れないモデル・南と、落ちこぼれピアニスト・瀬名のちょっと奇妙な同棲生活から始まる素敵なラブストーリー。惹かれ合いながらも素直になれない2人を、木村拓哉と山口智子が絶妙のコンビネーションで演じ、最終回は視聴率36.7%を記録した。共演陣も「ラブジェネレーション」では木村と恋人同士を演じた松たか子、「できちゃった結婚」の竹野内豊と広末涼子、「ハッピーマニア」「セミダブル」の稲森いずみと、いずれも主役級の役者ばかり。また、久保田利伸とスーパーモデル、ナオミ・キャンベルとのデュエットが話題となった主題歌「LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG」も大ヒットした。"恋愛の神様"・北川悦吏子の新境地とも言われた、大きな流れを持たないゆるやかなストーリー展開は、後に「ラブジェネレーション」や「オーバータイム」などに受け継がれた。フジテレビ月9ラブストーリー'90年代後半の代表作品と言えよう。
このBOXセットでは、放映された全11話をDVD4枚組で全話収録している。

BEST Romantic Comedy Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
"Long Vacation" is a romantic comedy TV drama, starring Yamaguchi Tomoko(Minami) and Kimura Takuya (Sena). Minami is a 31-year old model, who is supposed to get married and retire from her modelling career. On her wedding day, the groom does not show up for the wedding ceremony. In her traditional Japanese wedding clothes, she runs to his apartment to look for him, only to find his roommate, Sena. Sena is a 24-year old pianist and part-time piano teacher. He is preparing for the next piano competition.

Minami asks Sena where her fiance is. She looks through her fiance's room and finds a letter. That is when she discovers that he does not want to marry her and left town. What is she to do? She doesn't have any money and she had given up her apartment. The next day, she comes over to Sena and forces herself into his apartment, asking him to let her stay.

Sena is a good pianist, but when he plays the piano, it is very technical, the music he plays does not display emotions. His former college professor tells him that he must have more life experiences in order to develop emotions in the music he plays. The more time he spends with Minami, he starts to have strong feelings for her. This is when he plays music that starts to have various deep emotions.

I love this show very much. It is about falling in love with someone whom you thought you wouldn't be able to fall in love with. It is about how one person can affect another person in a very deep and emotional way. Also it is about the miracle of love that helps a person to have courage to go for their dreams and turning them into reality.

Kimura Takuya's performance is superb. He starts off with this very innocent face, a very clean cut personality and afraid to show his feelings. Then towards the end, he turns into this man that is very brave and wanting the world to know what he thinks and feels. Yamaguchi Tomoko's performance is great. I love how she plays Minami with a very outgoing and cheerful personality. Sometimes she is very strong, but sometimes deep inside she is very fragile.

"Long Vacation" has a great soundtrack. 'Sena's Piano II' by Daisuke Hinata, this piece can be found on Cagnet's "Best of Cagnet World" CD. Also, the fantastic theme song "La La La Love Song" sang by Kubota Toshinobu, which can be found on his single 'La La La Love Song' and on his 'La La La Love Thang' CD and on his 'The Baddest III' CD. For those who want to have all the music from the show, then you might want to get the 'Long Vacation Original Soundtack Special Box' which contains 4 CDs.

not bad. Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
not a bad japanese drama that focuses on a relationship that forms between a younger man and an older woman. Takuya Kimaru looks yummy as usual and the actress is entertaining, Their characters get togethe under unlikely circumstances and friendship bond is formed that turns into an unlikely romance..
In three words: short and sweet.

English/Chinese subtitles Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I'm also keen to know whether this Japanese DVD version comes along with either English/Chinese subtitles? If yes, that's a "must-buy" item :)

loved the lines Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
this is a good drama. i got this because of takuya kimura. i didn't know (i think i just forgot) that this was made almost a decade ago and i thought that this was a comedy so i guess i got a surprise when i watched it. :) it's about relationships, beginnings, endings and continuing ones. a lot of the lines here make you think and you'll be amazed that they seem so simple yet it makes sense and explains a lot.

i loved the piano performances here. it also amazes me that a single piece can convey sadness at one point but later on be played but this time it's full of hope and love.
