Let me start with the negative sides (if there are any): it's true that the plot is rushed, maybe weak and the characters deserved more time to be better defined and described. Akane character could have been better written because too often she appears like the usual jdrama FL unable to do anything on her own and waiting for her Prince Charming to come and save her.
After this premise, here's why for me it's an absolute 10: the very first scene left me breathless and all songs are an explosion of emotions and power. The acting is top notch and Takeru Satoh shines as he always does in all the series I've seen.
It's like a long music video with a little story in between the singing and I find it perfectly balanced like this.
Few are the dramas that make me want to start over again once finished, but this is one of them. As soon as the last episode ended, I felt the urge to go back to that incredible first scene and the one in which Naoki and Toya sing together on the roof of the hospital.
Maybe too many things were left inresolved or poorly depicted, but they did the best with the time given and a longer series wouldn't have been so powerful and perfect as it is now.
