The final episode of the drama series " A Calm Sea and Beautiful Days with You " (Fuji TV, Thursday 10pm) starring actress Kyoko Yoshine was broadcast on June 26th. The message delivered by the silent film narrator played by Katsuhisa Namase to the viewers became a hot topic on social media.

Natsumi (Yoshine), who went to see fireflies with Takita (Honda Kiyoya), said, "It's been almost a year since I heard the story about fireflies from Takita, and it feels like a long time, but also like it's gone by in the blink of an eye."
When Takitaka replied, "We only spent a few hours together," Natsumi stammered, "That's not what I meant."
Natsumi sees the beautiful Milky Way adorning the summer sky. She smiles and says to Takimasa, "Orihime and Hikoboshi. I think the reason July 7th is special to them is because it's the only day they can meet each other once a year. It's the same thing. Because we only have so few days to meet, this moment is what it is like now. Every hour, every minute, every second is special and precious, so it feels both short and long at the same time."
As the fireflies quietly glowed, the two looked at each other and shared a soft kiss. Natsumi looked at Takita and said, "Let's come and see it every year from now on."
The scene changed to a narrator staring at the image of Natsumi and Takimasa projected on the screen.
"Even though people could sense the signs of war in those days, there were still times of peace. Or perhaps it was precisely because people felt the signs of war that the small joys of everyday life shone so brightly. Do you all treasure the small joys of everyday life?" the narrator appealed to the audience.
On social media, people were talking about how "I love that the hidden message of Meo to Hiyori is 'the little happinesses of everyday life'", "The message about cherishing the little happinesses of everyday life is wonderful", "It's an important drama that taught us the important lesson of cherishing the little happinesses of everyday life", and "I really liked how it depicted the little happinesses of everyday life right until the very end, I want to cherish them."
