Japanese dramas

Below is a list of Japanese drama that I used to watch, back in the late 80s and early to mid 90s. They were either shown on Channel 8 or Channel 12. The earlier ones were dubbed in Chinese. Those shown on Channel 12 usually were in Japanese with English subtitles.

教師びんびん物語
(This is about a teacher and his class of elementary school students.)
101回目のプロポーズ
(This is about a 42 year old man, and his 101st matchmaking session.)
男嫌い
(This is about 3 sisters, and their successes/failures in love.)
セカンド・チャンス
(This is about a young widow bringing up her three sons.)
ひらり
(This is about a young girl who hangs out at a sumo school.)
愛していると言ってくれ
(This is about the love story of a blind and deaf girl, if I remember correctly.)
おかみ三代女の戦い
(This is about a young girl being trained to take over as the future lady boss of a traditional inn.)

There's probably some more, but it is hard to remember things from more than 10 years ago, especially when I don't speak Japanese then, the shows were given English or Chinese names, and trying to figure out their Japanese names now can be challenging.

For those who remember any more Japanese drama shown in Singapore during this time, do feel free to share.
