While working at a seaside inn with his high school buddies, Kouji Fujishiro (Yamada Takayuki) meets Kaoru Amane (Sawajiri Erika), a street musician. Kaoru is suffering from an incurable disease called XP (xeroderma pigmentosum), and can’t be exposed to the sun. Under the sun, the two would never have met. Still, destiny brings the two together. Since the day he suddenly lost his job, Kouji has lost sight of his dreams. But when he meets Kaoru, who is making positive efforts to become a singer, Kouji regains his long-forgotten passion for music.

I decided to watch this after having seen Erika Sawajiri's fantastic performance in 1 Litre of Tears. Erika's character here is similar to Aya in that she also has an incurable disease that threatens her life.

I'll say it outright: This drama was seriously BORING. No really. It was hell frustrating to watch. I somehow managed to make it to episode 7, but stopped after that. I probably deserve a medal for going that far. :D

Story:
The story could have been good, but the writer and the directors screwed up it seems. The characters they created made no sense especially Kouji and Asami. What made 1 Litre great was that it was a simple and believable story. Whereas this drama attempted to put 10 stories in one!

Acting:
Kudos to the actors for attempting to breathe as much character as possible into their roles. It wasn't them, it was the story...

Music:
The music is definitely noteworthy. Erika Sawajiri even used her character to release the title song!

Overall:
Anyway, a lot of people seemed to like it, but I think those were only the hard core Erika fans. The songs were good though. Don't bother wasting your timing watching this. Grab the soundtrack instead.
