The new Netflix series "First Love First Love", starring Hikaru Manjima and Ken Sato, will meet you in December this year. After reading this news, netizens have said, "It is simply a lineup of immortals, and I am fiercely looking forward to it!" ”
When you first saw the title of the episode, did you feel a little familiar? Yes, the tv series was inspired by the two songs "First Love" and "First Love" by well-known singer Hikaru Utada.
"First Love" was included in Hikaru Utada's debut solo album First Love released in 1999, written and composed by Hikaru Utada himself, and used as the theme song for the Japanese drama "The Condition of the Witch". You know, Hikaru Utada was only 16 years old at the time.
Many listeners also began to know Hikaru Utada because of this song. Whether it is a green voice, or a sad lyric, or a tender melody, it will show the reluctance and nostalgia of the first love vividly and resonate.
It is worth mentioning that the album sold more than 700W copies in Japan that year, and it also became the highest-selling work in Asia. This phenomenon was later called the "Utada Hikari Myth", which is enough to show the singer's super influence in the Japanese music scene.
"First Love" is a new single released by Hikaru Utada in 2018. After 19 years, she re-created with another mentality with the theme of "first love". Compared with the past, this song is more delicate in terms of emotional expression, and at the same time, it also slowly explains the psychological journey of Utada Hikaru's debut for many years.
In the school romance drama "Sunny Day After The Flower ~ Hana Boy Next Season~" broadcast in the same year, starring Sugi, the song also appeared in the form of an interlude. Some listeners even quipped in the song comments section, "As soon as this song came out, the style of the whole play went up." ”
Therefore, this "First Love First Love" has been added to the list of "2022 Must Chase Japanese Dramas" by many viewers. The writer and director of the new drama is Yuri Hantake, and it was previously her film "Angel Love" that received a huge response in Japan.
The addition of Mitsuru Manjima and Ken Sato was also a pleasant surprise. This time, Hikari Manjima plays Yaei Noguchi, who aspires to become a flight attendant, and Ken Sato plays the pilot of the Air Self-Defense Force, Harumichi Kimiki, and the whole story revolves around the two protagonists, telling a love story spanning 20 years.
By the way, the male and female protagonists in their youth are played by Daisei Kido and Riko Yagi respectively. Both are the new generation of actors who are more optimistic about the outside world, and they are looking forward to their performance in the play!
I have to say that the lineup of "Utada Hikaru + Mitsuru Manjima + Ken Sato" is really top! In the boring days of waiting for the new drama to start, why not recycle Utada Hikaru's two classic songs a billion times
