The Japanese Tragedy TV Series

I would like to introduce a tragedy Japanese tv series this time. It is a real-life story of a Japanese girl. The tv series is named '1 Litre no Namida'. The story is about a girl who was diagnosed with an incurable degenerative disease at  age15, but was able to continue her life until her death at the age of 25.

Title         : 1 rittoru no namida, 1 Litre of Tears, A Diary with Tears, A Diary of Tears
Genre      : Drama, School, Romance, Tragedy
Episodes : 11
Story  :
Aya Ikeuchi at the age of fifteen was diagnosed with a spinocerebellar degeneration, a disease which malfunctions human's motor function eventually making them paralytic. She went to Higashikou school, but due to her illness couldn't make it for graduation and was relocated to special school for disabled people. She was strong and never thought she would die. She wrote a diary telling how she struggled with her illness, how her family stood by her, how her friends treated her and finally how strongly she never gave up life.

Casts:
Erika Sawajiri - Aya Ikeuchi
Ryo Nishikido - Haruto Aso
Naohito Fujiki - Hiroshi Mizuno (Doctor)
Hiroko Yakushimaru - Ikeuchi Shioka

The reason I recommend this tv series due to I think the girl, Aya, who had a strong will to keep on her living even she had diagnosed the series illness. It is a good example to show to the weak people. Although Aya is a sick person, but she did not give up her life easily. She tried her best to overcome her fears, her hardness as I think it shown a good encouragement and role model to the people. Moreover, I think Aya was a very brave girl.

Although this tv series is a few years already, I think it is a nice series to watch. Moreover, the lead actress is very good in her acting here. She really could make people to feel sad for her. But let me advice to you, you have to prepare tissue box next to you when you are watching this drama. I was sobbing very much when I was watching this series.


Well, if you would like to catch this series, please click here. But make sure you have to prepare tissue papers especially for the last few episodes. :P
