A introspective drama focusing on the dreams and aspirations one has while growing up and what becomes of them as you become an adult. Anata ni Kika Setai Uta ga Arunda begins in a classroom full of flippant and joking teenage students who seem to not have a care in the world as they misbehave and tease their harried new teacher.
Looking them over, the morose teacher (Rena Tanaka) tells the class that she has just turned 27. They make fun of this statement, but she cuts it short with a deadpan statement to them, saying “In 10 years, YOU will all be turning 27. And when that time comes, I sincerely hope you have less regret than I.”
This is a sombre message to the schoolkids, who for the first time have to wonder what their future has in store for them….
We then fast forward 10 years to the current year where we are checking in on all those students and where their lives have led them. Some are depressed, some despondent, some gamely trying to make it, but if there’s one thing clear, it’s that life never goes the way you expect it to.
Featuring Ryo Narita, Sairi Ito, Kisetsu Fujiwara, Shuhei Uesugi and Atsuko Maeda (among others) as the students, each episode focuses on a different student and what has happened in their now adult life.
Each episode is very short (about 20 minutes each) so I expect this one to go by pretty fast...
PS: Why is this drama so doggone DARK! It's like a WOWOW drama, every scene is that greenish blue yechhhh...
