I miss Pinky and the Brain.

Mr. Brain 1! jdrama. I wasn't going to watch this since it sounded exactly like Galileo (which was too serious for my tastes), but Kimura, Gackt, Kame and the other potential special guests lured me in. It's like the meeting place of who's who in jdrama. The episode starts off when Kimura's character, a host, is ending his night by helping a damsel in distress when all of the sudden, siding off of a building falls on him. *Funny!*

So it's 2009 now and we witness (the HUGe-ass budget for this show) the police department investigating a car bomb. Enter Kimura's character with a high-powered brain and...new glamorous, wavy hair. He solves the bomb case and is introduced to the IPS, Institute of Police Science, and goes on to help solve a serial homicide case. Kinda ignored all the techno, case-solving stuff. His personality is the same eccentric one we've seen in Hero with an additional odd laugh quirk. The supporting characters are the typical cast of one-personality-trait characters, but the show is pretty amusing for a show that is like CSI with Japanese fanservice. There is nothing new about this show, but it is made so that Kimura thrives; he is cutely entertaining. Plus, Gackt looked very Gackt-y in the preview. Koyuki is also in the next episode. Van Halen's "Jump" is the theme song which is not the most fitting song and is inserted at odd moments, but Japan seems to love 80's music.
