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 fifth week on October 6th.
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 fifth week, Asuka (Kiryu) and his teammates clash over how to proceed with the development of the artificial satellite. Hikari (Morita), Shu (Katayama), and Haruko (Ito) remember their original promise to "see the Earth from space" and get back on track to make that dream come true.
Meanwhile, Hikari struggles with programming to bring down images of the Earth from space. Asuka thinks that Sui (played by Okudaira) might be able to give her some advice on programming, so she goes to him for advice... Scene cuts have also been released.
