Synopsis

Inspired by Hikaru Utada’s songs First Love and Hatsukoi, the series moves between the late 1990s and the present. In Hokkaido, schoolgirl Yae Noguchi, who dreams of becoming a flight attendant, falls for classmate Harumichi Namiki, and the two share an intense first love. An accident and diverging paths tear them apart. Twenty years later Yae is a divorced taxi driver raising a son, her ambitions long abandoned, while Harumichi has left his career as an Air Self-Defense Force pilot. A chance reconnection forces both to revisit the memories they never resolved.
