If you're familiar with torrent, you can go to nyaa.si and search "spice magicstar". It has the japanese soft sub file in the download folder. Use the online subtitle translator to translate into any language you want. But you need to download both the videos and sub files, and then watch them using media-players that can accept soft-sub (such as VLC).

A "light-drama" about life that's very deep at the same time!

She has become beautiful. Almost like young Hirose Suzu back in 2015.

Everybody loves Non! She's beyond adorable.
For info: Netflix Japan published a special cut on YouTube just showing the scene of Non disabling automatic train control on the shinkansen. Fans can now watch it on repeat. LOL.
It got over 100k views already in 10 hours.

If you're into serial TV drama you may be interested with Caster that's currently airing. It's on Netflix as well (but a bit late for outside Japan). In the Episode 3 (just done airing in Japan today) Non is a main guest for that episode. EP3 teaser:

You're very welcome!

Highlight comment on Youtube:
"I don't mind blurring out Mei Nagano's part, but please only broadcast Rena Nounen." 😆

Honestly, they need to continue with this drama until the final episode, I'm looking forward to watch Episode 3 just because there is Non (Nounen Rena) with her long-awaited comeback on broadcast TV. EP3 teaser:

The "woman who controlled the train" is Non (Nounen Rena), a very talented & beautiful actress/artist (musician, painter, director, fashion-designer, model, etc.). "One of a kind" in Japan. She also did a main role in live-action drama Shiawase Kanako no Koroshiya Seikatsu recently.

Caster needs to continue until final episode, for the sake of international Netflix viewers, and episode 3 will have Nounen Rena (Non) as main guest! Many people are waiting just for Non's TV drama return this year, and don't care much about Nagano Mei. Also, Nounen Rena is way more talented & beautiful.

2025 seems to be a "full comeback" year for her. She did great on Shiawase Kanako no Koroshiya Seikatsu, and I just watched Netflix's Bullet Train Explosion (although her role is kinda isolated with not much conversations).

Dropped after 3 episodes. Sorry, but not sorry.

This needs to be released in movie theaters, just for the sake of thrill. Great action scenes, good story too. My TV screen is too small for this caliber. Not recommended watching this on cellphone.

Non (Nounen Rena) will be the main guest role for Episode 3. Color me excited! She'll once again join with Abe Hiroshi after more than 10 years.

If we put this into "film for kids" genre, I'd say that this is way better than anything from Disney especially in the past 10 years. A bit bloody (pun intended) for kids but they need to have more real-life educational content such as this one, rather than stories that don't really mean anything. And Nagano Mei is perfect for the red-blood cell role!

I wonder if this whole backstory was inspired by the 2012 movie By Rule of Crow's Thumb? I found some similarities. The movie is way darker, but I like both.

I agree. This should be re-edited into a 2-hour movie for international audience (Netflix is just fine). Just remove the product-placement scenes, there we'll have a classic action-drama movie.

korosu zo! 😀
