87% chance of surviving 5 years













The main thing I think to watch on Japanese TV is drama shows as I wasnt really a fan of their comedy or.... anything involving SMAP! And, one of the best drama's I watched was from Jan - Mar 2005, called 87%~私の5年生存率 (87% Chance of surviving 5 years). As you can tell by the title, it wasnt a happy story, but about a single mum and her battle with Breast Cancer. She was diagnosed by a Dr who recently was unable to save his own wife from the same disease.




















The main stars of the show are the Breast Cancer patient, Akiko Kotani (Yui Natsukawa), her Dr, Youhei Kuroki (Masahiro Motoki) and Akiko's son, Souta Kotani (Shouhei Kawaguchi)

Its a down-to-earth romantic yet sad story which is simple but somehow captured my attention in Japan, and was the first drama I watched.
