■ Work Overview
A former high school baseball player who has lost his dreams and goals, living stagnant days. Once a promising catcher, he gave up baseball after a certain incident and couldn't move forward.
A letter arrived at his place – sent by 'God.'
'You will die in one week.'
The words, which should have been unbelievable, became reality with each passing day as his 'remaining time' decreased. The remaining seven days. He decides to confront his life, which he had avoided until now. His mentor, family, former best friend, a boy he unexpectedly encounters, and the woman he couldn't express his feelings to –
What do people choose, and what do they leave behind, in a limited time? A seven-day story of searching for the final answer in a life full of regrets.

Daichi Shiratori Profile Photo
Daichi Shiratori (as Haru)
Human 'life' eventually comes to an end. If I knew when that end would come, how many days were left – the time I spent as Haru forced me to realize how fragile and precious 'normalcy' is. The past I ran from, the people I couldn't face. Yet, I acted while somewhat overlapping myself with the character who tries to take a step forward. This work is filled with the meaning of 'truly living.' I hope it will be an opportunity for all viewers to reflect on their precious people and time.
Ayu Shitaya Profile Photo
Ayu Shitaya (as Tsumugi)
It was my first acting role and I was very nervous, but the warm atmosphere on set made it fun to become Tsumugi! Mr. Shiratori, who played Haru, brought out a lot of Tsumugi's good qualities, and it made me want to see more interactions between Haru and Tsumugi! Tsumugi had so many good lines that I found myself acting while telling them to myself!

■ About the Ending Theme
Yuichi Koematsu
The ending theme features 'day To day' by Yuichi Koematsu, a singer-songwriter from Chiba.
He made his major debut after winning the national competition, and is active in various fields such as movie theme songs and radio. He has gained support for his delicate singing voice and expressive power, and also demonstrates his talent as a vocal trainer and producer.
'day To day' is a song that confronts the questions 'What is normalcy? What is routine?' and deeply resonates with the theme of this work. Notably, the music video for this song was also directed by Koji Torikai.
