Back in the 90s, there was hardly anyone who did not know of songs by Utada Hikaru. She was a Japanese artist who broke through the pop charts, which at the time were mainly dominated by Western artists like Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, TLC and Boyzone. Her tunes like Automatic, Movin' On Without You and the pop ballad First Love made a huge impact on teens everywhere, including Thailand.
So when it was announced that Japanese filmmaker Yuri Kanchiku would direct a new drama/romance series inspired by a song by Utada Hikaru, it instantly trended. The nine-episode series stars Japanese heartthrob Takeru Satoh (Rurouni Kenshin trilogy) who plays opposite Hikari Mitsushima (Death Note) in a drama that revolves around the first love of two high school students whose relationship gradually grows distant with time, but life brings them together again as adults. If you're looking for a bittersweet romantic story that can make you weep and put a smile on your face, you are in the right place.
