J-drama & J-music !
I’ve been waiting for this drama for a long time, and it was definitely worth the wait. Of course, if it hadn’t been released on Netflix, who knows whether we would’ve been able to watch it or not. Unfortunately, accessing Japanese content isn’t that easy — we can only watch it if they decide to make it available internationally. This drama was announced around last year, and since I knew it was going to be a Netflix production, I waited for it with peace of mind. In this sense, I’m glad Netflix exists.
There were two actors I really love, Keita Machida and Masaki Suda. I admire both of them and think they’re very talented. They were the main reason I was looking forward to this drama so impatiently. I also liked the actresses. And there were other actors I love as well, like Takeru Satoh and Jun Shison. The cast was quite large, and I absolutely loved it.
I’m happy because the drama met my expectations. It was very well done. The music was fantastic. I really liked Naoki and Yukino’s voices — their duet was my favorite song. Toya’s voice was also beautiful, and with his image and vibe, he definitely gave off a rock music feel. His performance with Naoki was one of the coolest parts for me. Akane’s drumming was pretty good too, though she looked a little shaky and inexperienced. Sho’s devotion and love for Naoki really stood out to me. It even reminded me of Kurosawa’s role (those who watched Cherry Magic will know what I mean). I also have to say I loved Yukino — she was really cute and beautiful, and her voice was amazing.
I really liked the ending. Japanese dramas sometimes surprise me with their finales because they can often feel a bit underwhelming, but I found this one to be very well done. It was a fitting finale for a musical drama. Overall, I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth watching.

When I learned that there would be female characters, I already suspected that there would be some romance involved, and I wasn’t wrong. At first, the romantic relationships were confusing — like, who loved who? But one thing was certain: everyone was in love with Naoki, lol. I honestly thought Naoki wouldn’t fall for anyone — especially after rejecting Akane — but then he ended up falling for her. Actually, he already seemed to like her from the beginning, so I was tricked into thinking he didn’t. I felt a little bad for Kazushi; personally, I think he and Akane would’ve made a nice couple. Sho was basically in love with Naoki too, lol. I wish they could’ve ended up together, but then the drama would’ve turned into an LGBT storyline, so I guess that’s why they didn’t go there. Still, Sho’s feelings were obvious. Anyway, despite all the love drama, I liked that romance wasn’t pushed too much and that the focus stayed mostly on the music. Overall, it was really good.
