A Preview of Japanese Spring Dramas 2020

Winter Article Here

Time-of-day notations beyond 24:00 (such as 24:01 or 25:00 instead of 00:01 or 01:00) are not commonly used and not covered by the relevant standards. However, they have been used occasionally in some special contexts in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and China where business hours extend beyond midnights, such as broadcast television production and scheduling.

I have converted the first time, but any additional time will be left as listed from my source. All times are JST, but I included it in each post to make sure there is no confusion.

If something began and ended in March, I did not list it. Please check the list at the bottom of the article for those titles and the At the Noodle Cart: Jan~Feb 2020 article.

Continues from previous seasons (Mostly March titles):
