NHK's evening drama "Someday, in Zero Gravity Sky" (General TV, Monday to Thursday, 10:45 p.m.), starring actor Kiryu Aso, will enter its final week (8th week) on October 27th.
The drama features four girls from the astronomy club who, in high school, shared their dream of "going to space together."

Encouraged by their "older selves," they begin their second youth...
Kiryu plays the main character, Mochizuki Asuka, while Morita Nozomi plays Hibino Hikari, whom Asuka reunites with. Other cast members include Katayama Yuki as Mizuhara Shu, Ito Marika as Misato Morita, and Daiken Okudaira as Kanazawa Sui, a university student in a space engineering lab. The drama is narrated by Tasuku Emoto.
In the final week, Asuka and the others test the satellite to see if it works properly in space, but they encounter problems with the camera. Amane and Haruko suggest launching it into space as is, as they cannot afford to redo the development. However, Sui opposes this, saying that if the camera does not work properly, they will not be able to keep their promise to Hikari to "see the Earth from space."
Asuka is forced to make a decision as a leader, and the answer she gives is... A scene cut has also been released.
