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 seventh week on October 20th.
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 seventh week, with less than a year until the handover to JAXA, Asuka (Kiryu) and his team's satellite development was reaching its final stages.
Meanwhile, Haruko's (Ito) son falls ill, and she begins to worry that she has been spending too much time on development and not enough time with her son. Meanwhile, Amane (Katayama) is asked by his boyfriend about living abroad, which makes him waver.
As each of their worries increase, Sui (Okudaira) takes on Hikari's (Morita) feelings and strives to create a perfect satellite... Scene cuts have also been released.
