Ultimate NHK Taiga Drama Favorite List

Vote for your favorite NHK Taiga drama(s)! You can add as many dramas as MDL allows (preferably only those you have watched). This list will stays open indefinitely, so you can add new title and reorder what you have voted at any time.

UPDATE:

It looks like there's voting limit now in voting list. I have set it to maximum 100 votes for each user, which I think equivalent to 100 titles.
Please don't include Asadora in this list. I'm sorry to whoever put Asa ga Kita but I had to remove it.
