Question from a reader:
Is there a possibility that a special edition of the drama program “Kita no Kuni kara,” in memory of Ayumi Ishida, will be broadcast on Friday, March 21, from 9 PM to 10:52 PM on Fuji TV? Or is that not going to happen?
Drama, Law, and Memories
Recently, I received a question from a reader about
the possibility of a special edition of “Kita no Kuni kara” being aired. While the significance of this drama as a tribute to Ayumi Ishida is immense, I believe the chances of it being aired are low because that time slot is likely reserved for coverage of other significant events. Considering it marks 30 years since the Tokyo subway sarin attack, I think that time slot will be strictly maintained.
Broadcasting Drama from a Legal Perspective
Working in the legal field often prompts me to think about how the legal issues depicted in dramas and movies differ from reality. Especially when a drama carries a social message, its impact can be quite significant. Viewers can deepen their understanding of legal and social issues through fiction. For instance, while working one day, I discussed with a colleague, “How would the plot change if the law were like this?” We ended up bonding over the conversation, referencing specific legal texts and precedents, and sharing a laugh. Such discussions provide a moment of levity amidst the seriousness of the law.
The Intersection of Drama and Emotion
When watching a drama, I’m drawn not only to the storyline but also to the emotions and relationships of the characters. “Kita no Kuni kara,” in particular, portrays the bonds of family and friendship, warming my heart every time I watch it. Since becoming a university student, I often watch it with friends. We sometimes laugh and say things like, “This character is just like that friend!” After finishing an episode, it has become a tradition for us to share our thoughts, sometimes leading to passionate discussions. I feel those moments deepen our friendships. After all, having common topics to talk about brings us closer together.
