Finally I have finished to see “Tokyo Tower“, not the film but the television version dated 2007, consisting of 11 episodes.
- Episodes: 11
- Broadcast period: 2007
- Theme song: “Tsubomi” by Kobukuro
It is a touching jdrama, fully classifiable in the group “tear-jerker”, in fact is not possible to keep them if you are involved in the storyline.
Masaya Nakagawa is “Ma-kun”, a simple and common boy grown up in the country and for him “the city” has always been a dream. Tired of continuous excessive attentions / treatments received by his mother and eager of independence, one day he decides to take the big step and to go to study and live in Tokyo, alone, in the place where the much-admired Tokyo Tower is located (hence the jdrama title).
For him it will be the beginning of a new adventure, sometimes exciting sometimes tragic, to live every day. Joining the University of Fine Arts in Tokyo allows him to find new friends, friends that will interact with him for the rest of history. But the storyline of this jdrama focuses mainly on relationship of the other people with his mother “Okan”, an exceptional figure, which many people wish to have as maternal figure.
A jdrama poignant, heartwarming, touching, full of exciting events that increase as the story continues.
The climax reaches its top when the mother will live with his son.
I do not go over to not reveal the ending and to not ruin your expectations. I suggest sincerely at everyone to see this work, better if you do not read the full storyline or the final before.
A greeting.
PS: the theme song is very suitable with the drama. It shouldn’t missed. Listen to it. ^__^
