NHK's evening drama "Someday, in Zero Gravity Sky" (General TV, Monday to Thursday, 10:45 p.m.), starring actors Kiriyu Aso and Misato Morita, will enter its third week on September 22nd.
The drama features four girls from the astronomy club who, in high school, shared their dream of "going to space together." As they grow up and go their separate ways, they suddenly reunite with their forgotten dreams. "If we had a micro-satellite, maybe even we could aim for space today..." Encouraged by their "older selves," they begin their second youth...
Kiryu will play the main character, Mochizuki Asuka, while Morita will play Hibino Hikari, whom Asuka reunites with. Other cast members include Katayama Yuki as Mizuhara Shu, a friend of Asuka and Hikari's in the astronomy club, Ito Marika as Kiuchi Haruko, and Daiken Okudaira as Kanazawa Sui, a university student in a space engineering lab. The drama is narrated by Tasuku Emoto.
In the third week, Asuka (Kiryu) calls her friends from the astronomy club, whom she hasn't seen since the summer of her third year of high school, and the four of them get together for the first time in 13 years to talk. Hikari (Morita) reveals the illness she has been hiding for 13 years, and Asuka proposes to Amane (Katayama) and Haruko (Ito) that they "build an artificial satellite together and make their high school dream come true."
However, Sui (Okudaira), a university student who also aims to go into space, seems to have some thoughts about Asuka and the others' challenge, which they have no knowledge or experience of... Scene cuts have also been released.
