Also known as the "Kobe earthquake," the massive earthquake struck the southern Hyogo prefecture on January 17, 1995 and resulted in more than 6,400 casualties. The drama will focus on the reporters working for the Kobe Shimbun, who were determined to keep the newspaper running without interruption, despite the damage suffered during the earthquake.
The characters in the drama will all be based on real people, using their real names. Sakurai stars as the photo reporter Tomohiko Mitsuyama, who had joined Kobe Shimbun four years before the earthquake. The show will also have documentary segments such as interviews, including an appearance by Mitsuyama himself. --Tokyograph
My thoughts:
This was really something, Its quite bad that I only watched this as Arashi's Sakurai Sho plays a lead role, however in a way it is thanks to using such celebrities, that more people get to see what has happened in the world.
I never knew such a thing had happened, the people of Kobe are really admirable they have been through so much to overcome their troubles and rebuild their lives.
I hope people who have been through similar situations can recieve courage and hope to look to the future, after seeing this docudrama.
