Help and Information
01. About Us:
This is a free download site for Japanese drama series that are unliscensed. Please note that once a series becomes liscensed it will no longer be available for download. If the television series becomes licensed then that means you can purchase it on DVD so legally we can no longer provide it for free on this site. I hope you understand and also respect our decision to not offer licensed media on this site, thanks!
02. Help Us Spot Licensed Series!
Please if you see a series on this site that is licensed please use our contact for to alert us so we can remove it ASAP and include the licensing information in your message.
03. Want to use Kawaii Drama Information, Files, or Anything Else?
If you would like to use our download links or other media on your own site/blog please use the contact form "located in the main menu" to contact us with the request. As long as you credit back to us and the fansub group or anyother respective parties involved we will allow it... just be sure to ask first.
04. BitTorrent and IRC?
I know this may sound strange but... don't come to Kawaii Drama if you know how to use BitTorrent or IRC. We recommend you get your drama directly from the group who subtitled it. Not only is it faster but you will be helping to support the groups who work so hard to bring these to us. If you don't Know how to use BitTorrent then you need to start by downloading a BitTorrent client like uTorrent. After you download your client you will probabley need to find a guide for the client you chose to get started. If you chose uTorrent you can use this guide. For IRC you can view a guide created by darthnip with the beginner in mind. So even if you have never heard of IRC you should be able to figure it out by reading his guide located at afterdawn.com.
05. Please Don't Upload To YouTube!
Sites like YouTube, Veoh, and Crunchy Roll are not allowed! These endanger the groups who subtitle and reduce the quality of the series. As a way to show your apriciation to them for all of their hard work don't upload these series streaming and frequent their sites so they know you still want them to continue their work NON PROFIT.
06. What is up With HJ Split?
We upload most all of our files to Megaupload. Unfortunately they only allow files that are 500 MB and smaller so for any episode larger than that we must use a program called HJ Split to separate the files to be uploaded. In that case the files must be rejoined with the same program before they can be watched as one file. If you need to download the program you can get the freeware here. If you need help on how to join files please visit this page.
07. I am seeing a download limit message?
Only paid accounts can download more than 3 files per day from Megaupload some other sites also have similar rules as well as server/country limits. There are ways around this dilemma but you first need another program, RapidGet or US Downloader. Kawaii Drama does not support or participate in this action. Jerry's Guide found at SilentRegrets USDownloader Tutorial or Mirror.
08. What are Softsubs and Hardsubs?
Hardsubs are subtitles that are embedded in the video itself while softsubs are subtitle files that must be played in the same directory as the video, loaded, or embedded into the video to be viewed. Download VobSub and check it out, it's pretty handy. Check out D-addicts guide here.
