Introduction:

Mao Inoue to star in a TBS serial drama for the first time in 16 years! Yui Soma, the main character who can’t accept the death of
the person she thought was her destiny, is played enthusiastically! And Takeru Satoh will be appearing for the first time in 3 years since “Koi Tsuzu” as Naoki Torino, a man who has become a ghost who wanders in this world because he has “remaining memories” that he has not properly conveyed his feelings!

In addition, Kenichi Matsuyama plays the role of Yuzuru Uozumi, a detective who has to get close to the fate of the two because he can see the man for some reason!

TBS has decided to broadcast the “sad and warm” fantasy love story “I should have said 1 million times” starring Mao Inoue in the Friday drama frame (every Friday at 10:00) in the January 2023 period.

Yui Soma (Mao Inoue) and Naoki Torino (Takeru Sato) were childhood friends, but when they met again as adults, they were once again convinced that they were destined partners.

Maybe it’s a twist of fate…just when he decides to propose to Yui, Naoki gets caught up in a mysterious incident and suddenly disappears from Yui’s sight.

Yui desperately searches for Naoki even though he is overwhelmed with grief, but in reality, Naoki continues to wander in this world as a spirit without knowing that he has died. Yui’s own voice doesn’t reach Yui, and he feels uneasy that something is wrong. The only detective who can recognize Naoki’s existence appears in front of him is Joe Uozumi (Kenichi Matsuyama). Naoki asks Yuzuru to convey his words to Yui, but… Naoki ends up breaking up without being able to properly say “thank you, goodbye, I love you…” to the person he loves the most.

Yui, who suddenly lost her loved one, Naoki, who watches over Yui even if it’s just a soul, and a detective who pursues the truth of death, but gets involved with Yui as Naoki’s only intermediary. concession. While these three people are involved, it conveys the message that “what is taken for granted is never taken for granted”, and at the same time, it is an original story that appeals once again to “how much love and irreplaceable is that taken for granted”.

I hope everyone doesn’t end up saying goodbye to the person they love the most without properly saying goodbye… The present age has become an unprecedented situation for all mankind. I want to convey my current feelings to my loved ones as much as possible.

A cheering song for life to give to all those who are about to be crushed by various things…
