That's enough already, right? #LandScammers #PierreTaki #ThatsEnoughAlready

Based on Ko Shinjo’s popular novel, The Jimenshi was released in 2024 as a Netflix original drama and sparked a huge response.

Its storyline, rooted in real-life crimes such as real estate fraud, was highly compelling and became a daily topic on social media.

Since it’s such a timely show, it’s worth leveraging references to it sooner rather than later.

The line “Mō ee deshō” delivered by the character played by Pierre Taki—selected as one of the 2024 buzzwords—works perfectly in moments that call for a crisp “That’s enough, right?” You can drop it casually in the right scene, or, for extra flair, prepare a bit and perform it as part of a skit.

If someone hits me, I hit back—double the payback!Naoki Hanzawa

If someone does it to me, I’ll do it back—double payback.

It’s one of the signature lines from the drama Hanzawa Naoki, which was also chosen as a 2013 buzzword of the year.

Spoken as a statement of the convictions held by the protagonist Hanzawa Naoki, played by Masato Sakai, the way this phrase comes to fruition is a major appeal of the series.

The expressive performances of the star-studded cast—so striking they were even dubbed “face acting”—also drew attention, so be sure to faithfully recreate the facial expression when delivering the line.

As the story progresses, the “payback” scales up to “tenfold” and even “hundredfold,” so it’s also fun to watch how the atmosphere shifts along with the plot’s development.

Idiots and ugly people should go to the University of Tokyo!Dragon Zakura

It’s a highly provocative, hard-hitting line, and many people have probably come across it on social media even if they don’t know the title of the work.

The line appears in the TV drama Dragon Zakura, which is based on a popular manga, but did you know it’s actually a drama-original line that doesn’t appear in the manga? In reality, the line carries a deeper intent than what comes across on the surface, but it’s also easy to misunderstand.

So if you plan to use it for fun, you should be careful.

I recommend using it only in gatherings with close friends where jokes won’t cause issues, or tweaking it into a slightly milder expression.

I can see right through it!trick

I saw through all the tricks in 2003.

The drama TRICK aired for 14 years starting in 2000.

It follows the character Naoko Yamada, played by Yukie Nakama, as she uncovers the truth behind various cases.

One of the show’s signature catchphrases that appeared almost without fail was “I can see right through it.” In fact, there are many variations of this line.

For example: “I can see through everything you’re trying to do,” and “I can see through everything you did—every last bit—slick, whole, and gritty.” Feel free to create your own spin on it as well.

People believe what they want to believe.MIU404

@9rkgnx._x

That's a lovely phrase.#miu404#Go AyanoHoshino Gen#Koshi MizukamiKumiko AsoJun Hashimoto#IWantToBeOnTheRecommendations#fyp

I want to see you – RADWIMPS

This is a line delivered by Kazumi Shima, one of the protagonists in the drama MIU404, played by Gen Hoshino.

It’s a phrase that could be considered the main theme of episode 2, conveying in a simple way the relationship between believing and doubting.

It shows how the desire to believe can distort the truth, while also suggesting that it can sometimes lead to good outcomes.

For an impression, the key is to capture Gen Hoshino’s tone that conveys anger and exasperation.

If you focus on delivering it as if tossing the words away, the mood will be emphasized even more.

Because the Earth is round.The continuation of goodbye

@netflixjapan

From the Netflix series “The Midst of Goodbye” — Yusuke’s ultra-positive famous line, played by Toma Ikuta 🌟 ┏━━━━━━━━━━━┓ You’ll definitely make your way back to me. Because the Earth is round. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━┛ I wish someone would confess to me like this 🥺🩵Continuation of Goodbye#Sayotsuzu#Toma Ikuta#Kasumi ArimuraKeiwa OkadaHiroshi Kurosaki#NetflixNetflixNetflix

Original Song – Netflix Japan – Netflix Japan

The Netflix drama “Sayonara no Tsuzuki,” starring Kasumi Arimura and Kentaro Sakaguchi, began streaming in November 2024 and has earned acclaim for its captivating story brought to life by the actors’ superb performances and Yoshikazu Okada’s skillful script.

The line “Because the Earth is round,” delivered by Toma Ikuta, who plays Yusuke—a character who dies in an unexpected accident in the drama—has become a beloved quote among fans for its pure, character-true positivity.

If you use this line for a skit or performance, don’t say it shyly—the charm will be halved.

Instead, try it with the same boundless brightness and refreshing tone and expression that Ikuta brings to it.

Truly fascinating.Galileo

Truly fascinating.

Masaharu Fukuyama stars as a genius physicist in the hugely popular drama Galileo.

Based on Keigo Higashino’s work, it became a hit not only as a TV series but also as a film.

Among the memorable lines delivered by Fukuyama’s character, Manabu Yukawa, the most iconic is surely “Truly fascinating.” He says it coolly when viewing a case’s trick from a physical perspective or when confronting unsolved mysteries, leaving a strong impression.

You can go for Fukuyama’s cool, composed style, or, like the comedian Hollywood Zakoshisho who parodies this line, you can play it for laughs and really get the crowd going!
