NHK's night drama "Someday, in Zero Gravity's Sky" (General TV, Monday to Thursday, 10:45 PM), starring actor Kiryu Aso, will be broadcasting its final week. The 31st episode will be on October 29th... There are only two episodes left of the drama, including this one.
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 Okudaira as Kanazawa Sui, a university student in a space engineering lab. The drama is narrated by Tasuku Emoto.
In episode 31, Asuka and her team manage to complete the satellite and safely hand it over to JAXA. The day finally arrives in October 2025, when the satellite will be released into space.
Asuka, along with Amane, Haruko, and the university students, watches the departure of the artificial satellite "HIKARI." It will take several days to see images of the Earth from the satellite, so Asuka and the others patiently wait for the time to come. Meanwhile, Asuka hears about Sui's new dream... Scene cuts have also been released.
