Summer Sky is NHK's 100th morning drama, so it's very memorable. The drama is set against the backdrop of female animators who contributed to the early stages of animation after the war. The protagonist is the popular actress Suzu Hirose.
Suzu Hirose plays the role of Tsukatsu, who lost his parents in the war, separated from his brother, and is adopted by his father's comrade-in-arms, Takeo Shibata, and moves to Tokatsu. When he helped out at the ranch of his father-in-law, Taiki, he regained his cheerful personality. After graduating from high school, I went to Tokyo and worked in the animation industry, which was in its infancy.
The story tells the story of Natsu Okuhara, a heroine who lost her parents to the war, was raised freely by the land of Hokkaido, and then went to Tokyo to devote herself to the field that was still called "manga film" at the time, and became a female animator who contributed a lot to the early days of animation. The script of the play was written by Toshio Omori, who has written the Sunny Family, NHK Elven Guardian series, Taiga drama Fenglin Wildfire and folk drama Frankenstein Love.
In the early summer of Showa 21, the Second World War ended, and the war orphan Natsu Okuhara was taken to Tokatsu in Hokkaido by Takeo Shibata. The Shibata family, the nurse who accepted Konatsu, was an immigrant who came to Hokuriku to pioneer the land. Tsuyo and Konatsu's father are comrades-in-arms, and the two have agreed that those who survive the war will take care of each other's families. Gangnan's father, Taishu, is a stubborn old man who is known to be a stubborn old man, and he says that Xiao Xia is an unlucky person, but in his heart he sympathizes with this child.
Xiao Xia, who had been prepared for a long time, desperately helped the Shibata family take care of the cows and horses and milk the cows. Taishu is touched by Natsu's tenacity, and he teaches Natsu how to survive. Xiao Xia also gradually regained her innocent childishness. One day, Xiao Xia met a young man who was particularly good at drawing horses, Yamada Chengyang. Tianyang gave Xiao Xia a taste of the charm of animated films that were popular in the United States at the time. She was thrilled by the dreamlike world of animation. After entering high school, under the influence of Tianyang, Xiao Xia began to dream of working in painting. That's when she learns that her brother, who was forced to separate, works in Tokyo. So, she set off for Tokyo.
Although everyone around her told Suzu Hirose not to put too much pressure on herself, as the heroine of the 100th morning drama, it was inevitable that she would not be able to ignore such a burden, so she said that she would work hard to play this role well.
