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 sixth week on October 13th.
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 sixth week, Asuka (Kiryu) and his team worked hard to develop a function called "DigiTalker," which uses a satellite to transmit sound from space. This mission fulfills his high school dream of leaving a message like Gagarin's "The Earth was blue" when he saw the Earth from space.
One day, after the test of the digital talker function was successfully completed, Hikari (Morita) told Asuka, Amane (Katayama), and Haruko (Ito) that she had something to talk to them about... A scene cut was also released.
