Ryo Nishikido (C) to Star in \u201c1 Liter of Tears\u201d Film, \u201c1 Liter of Tears\u201d Film Production Committee<\/p>\n

The theatrical adaptation of \u201c1 Liter of Tears<\/strong>,\u201d originally published in 1986 and a massive hit as a TV drama series in 2005, will be released in 2027, it was announced on the 8th.<\/p>\n

The tear-jerking, moving story comes to life as a film. Based on the non-fiction work by Aya Kito, it depicts the life of a girl battling spinocerebellar degeneration, bringing tears to many. Ryo Nishikido, who starred in the drama, will reprise his role as Haruto Aso after 20 years.<\/p>\n

The newly released teaser captures the present-day Haruto saying, \u201cIf he knew people still read it even after 15 years, I wonder if he’d be happy.\u201d Nishikido expressed his joy, stating, \u201cThis film is one of my foundational works. After all these years, I feel deeply honored to have the opportunity to confront this same role once more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/ins>\n

Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the theme songs will be the same as the drama’s: \u201cMarch 9th\u201d and \u201cPowder Snow\u201d by Remioromen. Both are representative songs of the band, and Ryota Fujimaki\u00a0 <\/span>shared his feelings about the work, saying, \u201cFor us, \u20181 Liter of Tears\u2019 is a work of immeasurable significance.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWe hope this film, with its different timeline and approach from the original work and drama, will be a source of courage for many people living in today’s world. For us, it’s also a heartfelt way to repay the debt we owe. We sincerely hope Remioromen’s music can contribute to the film.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/ins>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
