[Drama Review] Sukoshi wa Ongaeshi ga Dekitakana

Sukoshi wa Ongaeshi ga Dekitakan
starring: Ninomiya Kazunari
March 2006


It's a story about a 17 year old boy (at the beginning I believe) named Kitahara Kazunori and his battle with "Ewing's Sarcoma" a very rare-cancer occurring in the bone and flesh and spreads through the blood. He spent a year and a month battling this disease and while fighting he gained much support from his family and friends. During his battle he managed to get into the prestigous Tokyo University (Todai).

It's a true story.

I'm not very affected by things like these, people dying from diseases and what not. (Although the last two episodes of 1 litre of tears did make a waterfall run) but this wasn't so bad. I think that if I wasn't so attached to Nino/Arashi I wouldn't have been so affected at the end. Which makes me say, I didn't actually cry. Tears appeared, but only one or two came out of my eye. It was still a very touching episode though, I enjoyed it very much.

What really got to me was the boys name. Kazunori.... could you get any closer to Kazunari? Like really (-_-;;). And watching Nino slowly die for 6 minutes really killed. The entire time I thought I was going to start sobbing but I didn't miraculously. By the time the tears were threatening to fall, the elder brother killed the atmosphere. When the elder brother came home 1 month after Kazu died, and he started sobbing so dramatically, I was like "DAMN IT YOU KILLED THE MOOD!!!" because he did. His crying was just so dramatic and bad and.. ugh.

But I did nearly cry at the very end when the mother was taking grad pictures. I sat there, on my chair for like.. 5 minutes without moving after the SP ended cause... I just couldn't move. I was just speechless I guess.

To an actual review, it's very good. Nino's acting was very good. The character Kazu really moved me. He was fighting cancer but he got into University and even when he was going through all that pain. And at the end, I felt so sorry for him. He looked so.. pitiful lying on that bed, and I was so moved and all he did was think about his parents and his brother. It's a very touching story. I really think it's something all Arashi/Nino fans should watch if you haven't already, even if you aren't a fan, it's still a touching story to watch.

I'm not being biased here, I really think that even if I didn't like Nino I would still watch this because it was enjoyable. It wasn't slow and draggy, I was actually surprised when I realized I had already gone through 1 hour of it.

The slowest part was really, probably the 6 minutes in which Kazu was slowly, slowly dying. Such a long, painful 6 minutes. *sniffles*

Rating - 4/5

It didn't bring me to tears xD - Now, off to watch Marathon!
