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 fourth week on September 29th.
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 fourth week, Asuka (Kiryu) and her friends hear that their former high school has turned an empty classroom into a shared office, and decide to use it as a base for satellite development. However, they lack the expertise and are unable to make progress. Meanwhile, the launch date for the satellite is decided, and Hikari (Morita) becomes anxious about whether it will be completed successfully.
Shu (Katayama) and Haruko (Ito) also struggle to juggle their work and personal lives, but are met with harsh words from Sui (Daiken Okudaira)... Scene cuts have also been released.
