Nogizaka46 - sister / rival / cousin group of AKB48 1st. tv drama.
This drama has many similarities from previous tv dramas manga adaptations like Attack #1 & Ace No Narae.
- a top coach / player in the sport with a terror / very strick approach in trainings - retires and kept a low profile after he or his athlete suffers a career threathening injury.
- majority of lead cast know nothing about the sport,
- team's ace / leader suffered a injury because of intense trainings,
- rival is a wealthy heir / princess of a Billion Yen Empire, turned friend / teammate.
- each member / player faces personal trials that challenges her mentally, physically, emotionally that turns for the best.
- also this drama teaches us about love, understanding of the game, friendship, trust, faith & loyalty.
At the last episode Kirei.... gave her full power into her pitch, Nanase took all that force and countered it putting her to her limit (fatigue, broken bones, muscle aches etc.)...... but still able to finish the play. I'll understand if she won't able to finish the play because of her injuries.... and the team losses the match... I somewhat saw so some kind of compassion from Kirei & her father although they have a contract stateing if Bemars looses a single game or reached the finals & lost to the defending champion the park is gone, but i think Kirei & her father could had change of heart on it.... proves Kirei too loves the Hatsumori park no way she would want it to go down in rubbles.
A unexpected turn of events, Kirei & Sherry transfered school and joined Bemars as top recruits.... that leads to my next 2 paragraphs.
a cliff hanger of some sort.... as a possible crossed-over / team-up with AKB48's majisuka gakuen in the ending of last episode.
Majisuka Gakuen, or majijo was mentioned 3x in the drama.
sadly, Salt's & Sakura's cameos in the end of the last ep. was just for fun by the producer.... no official annoucement of season 2 but.... hey, if ever they would have a season 2 of Hatumori Bemars.... it will be epic, cool, awesome, outstanding, spectacular..... then sort of followiing plot of a another drama manga adaption Attack No. 1.... that would have the similarities of the show (only difference this is "softball" not volleyball). Imagine top 3 Bemars aces + other top aces of rival softball teams to form a super national team.
What a drama, the story seems fun for some scenes having comedic situations, but when it comes down to revealing the true intensions of each character towards each other seems I can't bear to watch.... honestly, I was moved by this.... both in good & bad. I felt a bit jealous too as the lawyer Fujiki Naohito who only thinks of himself and tries to destroy other people for his own interest and tries to woo his ex gf back from a engineering geek & Katori Shingo, who is a happy go lucky guy. Some guys just have all the luck...... Love triangles here and there, awkward situations, unexpected moments (his best friend Ohkura Koji and colleague Naka Riisa who turns out to be a matcottomline h although they seemed interested in different results concerning Katori Shingo and Meisa Kuroki, betrayal and deceptions. Bottomline, this drama teaches one how to cherish relationships and knowing what consequences awaits if the chain of love is cut even for just a moment.
