I cannot believe I hadn`t added this to my list yet. I guess I was sleeping last year.
Taiyou no Uta turned out to be better than I expected. Yamada Takayuki once again proved good acting skills even though he seems to always be put in the same type of characters lately.
The story was light hearted, a little twisted at some points and hard to understand at others but overall, it was enjoyable. Not a must see, but nevertheless fun to watch. |

...since the movie was really popular, I was expecting a really great drama... The fact is, I'm not really enjoying this drama, at all... Even tho the casts are great (Erika Sawajiri, Takayuki Yamada), the drama seemed boring, at least untill the last episode... |
| 4. | Comments by Ushiroyubi [Rating: 8/10]
Sawajiri is so great that she easily overpowers every other character/actor. |

really good drama & must see too!! |
| 6. | Comments by rikastar [Rating: 6/10]
The cast is not bad actually but the writing is quite terrible. The side plots they have to stretch it out into a full length drama are pretty pointless/do not evoke much feelings from the viewer imo. Kouji is like a block of wood, the Asami character is very unappealing and gets no sympathy from me, Sawajiri Erika brings on a little something to make Amane Kaoru feisty and likeable, which is cool. Music wise, I think the the movie and the dorama versions have their own charm, story wise, I'll just stick to the movie. |

Sept 2006:I love dramas with music as main theme. This drama started out pretty good, acting was good, since the 2 leads were well known with their acting ability, even though this is just some 'teenage love story'. However, the ending was too.....rushed. It just ended at a weird time, should have cut off all the boring parts and made a better, complete ending. Nice soundtrack and theme song, just don't compare with the movie version, with different characters and settings. |

Erika played in Ichi Rittoru no Namida; loved her.
Erika plays in Taiyou no Uta; hate her.
She looked so pretty in 1RnN. ;_____; And I've now watched 2 ep's and it haven't been so good as I thought it would be. Normally I'm pretty interested about dramas like this but this was disappointment. I hope this get's better after few ep's... |

addicting theme song...but disappointing acting from the 2 leads considering their past roles that we have seen them in. predictable plot as well. |

Another heart moving drama starring Erika Sawajiri that does not disappoint. The music from this drama is simply amazing. |
| 19. | Comments by x_XJules [Rating: 4/10]
I didn't watch all of it. Of course we all know what happens at the end. and i may have squeezed out a tear but that doesn't mean the show was good. It was just alright. |
| 20. | Comments by MrNiceGuy [Rating: 9/10]
The reason I love this movie is Erika is so cute and pretty. Besides the song's also great! I am a big fan of Erika now! |
| 21. | Comments by DragonSpirit164 [Rating: 8/10]
Get to watch the lovely Sawajiri Erika in goddess-like hot mode :P. The storyline is nothing new though, we've all seen it before in Ichi Litorru no Namida, Itoshi Kimi e and others. Masterful soundtrack, based on the superb Taiyou no Uta sung by Erika herself. |
| 22. | Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 7/10]
after 1 L of Tears, I was expecting a spectacular performance by Sawajiri again... but no such thing happened. It was as if her heart was not in this drama; throughout the drama you could feel her half-heartedness and lack of effort because as long as you have seen 1LoT, you know she could give so much more. The lead stars lacked chemistry, accompanied by an even more lackluster supporting cast and story. It's still a 7 because it's better than other dramas I've seen, but Sawajiri's shine has definitely gone down in my book. |

Another Sawajiri Erika portraying a fatal illness character. Yet its still good and sad at the same time but she did a good job. Songs are not too bad as well. YUI's movie version is probably better |

In moment my favorite Drama (^ 0 ^) |
| 29. | Comments by dekatrain [Rating: 7/10]
Will Yamada ever play a different role, apart from the "man-im-so-cool" good guy all the time? Yes, I did enjoy this drama and I prefer Erika in this one over 1 Liter of Tears because she just seems more nature here (and I though 1 Liter was just a bit over the top). The location is also a nice change from the city districts, as it gives it a bit of freshness that other dramas lack. But, like others have said, Yamada seems to be stuck in the same role ever since sekaachu (which i loved to bits although). I think it'll be better to see him as a villain for a change or something. But apart from its a decent drama... |
| 30. | Comments by xxhiroxx [Rating: 7/10]
Sawajiri playing -yet- another sick girl doomed to die makes the drama seem repetitive of Ichi Rittoru right off the bat. Otherwise, the drama is pretty okay. |
| 31. | Comments by Kawaii Kinomoto [Rating: 9/10]
another sad drama with sawajiri erika... i wish she'd get more diverse roles... but a great story... yamada takayuki and erika r really cute together!! a good drama but i think i like the movie better |

Acting is not that good. The story is ok, just a little slow. the main role does not impress me at all. |

Not too bad... |
| 36. | Comments by Sailorprinzess [Rating: ?/10]
I am watching this one. It's alright so far, but it reminds me of other dramas with a similar storyline. But it has pretty good acting from both leads, so hopefully this will be just as good as the movie. |

Love yamada's character in this drama and Erica too. But than hhmmm still prefer 1 little of tears where Erica protrayed Aya's character. That was a touching one. Overall it's not a bad drama to watch ^^ |

Summer 2006 is very wonderful. The drama scenes release so many good drama, and this one is no exception! |

Saddddddddddd,... |
| 41. | Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 8/10]
This drama is riding off the success of Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu and Ichi Ritoru no Namida. Hey it even stars the actors from those dramas. There have been many dramas like this involving diseases like Beautiful Life and Summer Snow just to name some more, but it doesn't make it necessarily bad. It involves a girl trying to live life to its fullest without any regrets since her time is limited. She dreams of becoming a singer and hopes to able to make it to the top. Well dont want to give everything away since all you can is just watch it and understand it. Anyways I still liked it. The last episode choked me up. |
| 42. | Comments by calico [Rating: 6/10]
This was a competent drama, and I did like Sawajiri Erika when she was Aya in One Litre of Tears. However, I am tired of seeing Yamada Takiyuki getting all the good albeit-similar roles, maybe they should take a look at other rising young male actors? Overall, this was an ok drama for me. I actually prefer the movie version that was released prior to this, and I thought the YUI-Tsukamoto Takashi combi was a breath of fresh air which I liked a lot better. |
| 43. | Comments by hisashi [Rating: 8/10]
Like drama which revolve about music and love. Nice song and soundtrack. Ending seems to be lacking something. Maybe expecting it to be as touching as １リットルの涙. Giving it a 8.5 |

it lacks a little in certain places, seems a bit too silly in some places, and while it's nothing extraordinary, this drama is still decent |
| 47. | Comments by ume [Rating: 2/10]
This has got to be one of the WORST I have seen in a long time. A total recopy of 1L without the romance, the sensitivity, the plot. The lead characters have got zero chemistry, though I like Yamada and think he is a really good actor. My favourite character turned out to the 2nd role girl playing Erika's friend. Erika is just so smug and overly self-confident in her own acting that it becames VERY ANNOYING. Like the way she keeps rolling her eyes....And she doesn't even look sick or weak at all. Never going to watch Erika's stuff again. Wasted my money buying this because of biased raters who actually give this an 8 to 10. |
| 48. | Comments by Ralbol [Rating: 7/10]
Beaucoup trop d'acharnement contre la pauvre petite fille malade pour moi, mais la fin sauve tout. Par contre faudra faire attention a ce que sawajiri erika ne devienne pas trop vulgaire, ca serait une perte incommensurable. |

| 50. | Comments by ex(alibur` [Rating: 7/10]
a story about a girl struck by XP (Xeroderma Pigmentosum), kaoru amane is an inspiring street musician with hopes of making it big as a composer-singer who writes and sings her own songs. filmed shortly after ichi ritoru no namida, taiyou no uta shares a great deal of similarities in terms of plot with sawajiri erika once again acting as a sick but courageous girl living her dying days. however, fans of 1ritoru no namida will be left disappointed with the show as there isn't much to be expected. a typical love story with it's ups and downs, i personally felt the ending was too rushed. not much touching scenes, cept' prolly for the last ep. on the other hand, the show can be credited for it's songs sang by erika, under the alias of kaoru amane. her vocals are surprisingly good. more eye candy for fans of erika as well who looks sweeter here with her long hair and rocker chic look. yamada takayuki did not fare badly either. in addition, there were also a few silly but cute scenes which made me smile. to conclude, taiyou no uta is watchable if you fancy seeing erika in a love story. |

A good drama with character depth and excellent music. |
| 52. | Comments by robetella [Rating: 9/10]
Just finished this. Man the ending was cruel but as we all know she had to go due to the disease she had. But overall of this jdrama wasn't focused on what she had to suffer and not as intense as what 1LOT & Sekaii gave us an impression of, instead what the author was trying to prove to us was her undying passion for her dreams in spite of her disabilities, how strong she was and persevering all the way to her last breath which really touched my heart. Highly recommended jdrama for all to watch especially if you're a Erika fan like me! =D |

Erika Sawajiri singsing is nice, the story is touching and sad. However, I prefer the movie version starring by YUI !!! |

Absolutely beautiful lead in Erika, but again, why does she have to be dyiing? Need to really be in the mood for this one. |

Great cast with good chemistry. Interesting story, but predictable. The sound track is great. It's worth an extra point. :) |
| 62. | Comments by GIGI [Rating: 7/10]
I was enjoying that it was not a push-over kind of tear-jerker. Did not realize that she's the same girl in One Liter of Tears. Oh well, I would love to see her in a comedy/love story plot for a change. And Yamada though cute as a button is someone I would love to see in a not so brooding role. Ooh and that producer guy is definitely gorgeous! :-) |
| 63. | Comments by booniez [Rating: 8/10]
Entertaining, but not nearly the same level as Sekachuu or 1-littoru no Namida |
| 64. | Comments by lynn minmei [Rating: 8/10]
Not as good as the mvie but still ill give this series 8 out of 10 because of Erika. |
| 65. | Comments by Gloves [Rating: 6/10]
I enjoyed this drama, although I agree that this idea did seem a bit recycled. Also, I think that the script kinda hobbled in some scenes and some characters were clearly not thought far enough. |

i like this dorama because i'm fans of sawajiri erika, also soundtrack and music in this dorama was very good |
| 67. | Comments by Coolsmurf [Rating: 7/10]
Not too bad a drama if if had weaned out some uneccessary sub-plots which looked just out of place. the chemistry between the leads were average as somehow i feel there was something lacking between them |
| 68. | Comments by doink-chan [Rating: 8/10]
It was good, but not quite as good as SekaChuu or 1 Liter of Tears. Hopefully Sawajiri Erika's next role will be a happier one. XD |
| 69. | Comments by Kirari Ililah [Rating: 8/10]
It's a nice story, but the movie was better. It takes so long to get some result between Kaoru and Kouji's relationship that I wish for an ending to appear. It's a little obvious as to what will happen compared to the movie a bit...
How ever still a nice quant drama, as always that's what Yamada produces. |

another sad drama from Sawajiri Erika. A song to the sun such a beautiful song and i don't have any idea of the XP disease. But, after i watched this drama, i had read some article regarding this XP disease and it's really exist in our reality life...Such a pity to that person too who can't enjoy the hot weather.This story same goes to Sawajiri Erika in this drama |
| 76. | Comments by The_Lyrics [Rating: 9/10]
overall i really enjoyed watching this whole series, sawajiri erika was very kawaii in this show =) |
| 77. | Comments by mornin_view [Rating: 8/10]
I didnt know anything about this disease until i've came across this darma... it's worth watching. The story is about a young girl who suffered from a rare genetic disease, xeroderma pigmentosupatients, also known as XP, those afflicted with this disease are extremely sensitive to the sun. Because of this disease she has, she must avoid all sources of UV radiation, the challenges she has to overcome and those who care for her... This is easier said than done.. How to avoid? How to protect against what we cannot avoid? Simple questions. But the answers are not so simple.. from what i know there is no cure for XP at the moment.There are good songs from this drama also, hope you guys enjoy it. |

I liked it very much, I think, it was really touching.
The actors were really good, espacially Sawajiri Erika *fan desu*
What I also really love about it are the songs, they're both really beautiful.
But I think it's wrong to compare it to 1 litre of tears that much, just because Sawajiri Erika is dying because of an incurable desease in the end. But it's still different, because Taiyou no Uta is more a love story. I still like 1LOT best, but still giving this one 10/10 because I really liked it^^ |

Good actors. Boring, flat story with too many sidestories. Thoungh it has no happy end, i shed not a single tear on this. The disease seems to be an excuse for producing this average drama. |
| 92. | Comments by uglymale [Rating: 7/10]
Despite the likable leads, I prefer the movie version. A simple storyline had to be modified and artificially extended to accommodate a drama. That said, although Erika's songs cannot be compared to YUI's, the soundtrack was above average. |

Good drama to watch...liked the music and the leads were good together. The ending was messed up though. |
| 105. | Comments by yolande [Rating: 6/10]
Somewhat draggy, with too many redundant diversions and characters. Maybe due to the rather different portrayal and characterization of Sawajiri's Kaoru in comparison to Yui's, the storyline seems somewhat more cliche and 2D. Definitely not something critically acclaimed, but probably, understandably, kept quite a fair part of its viewers interested enough. |
| 106. | Comments by Mali [Rating: 6/10]
Sawajiri Erika only acts in sad doramas or what? Damn, this dorama made me cry quite a lot. Although the plot isn't bad, the main characters are great, in my opinion there are too many insignificant side characters. And also some parts of the dorama are not realistic at all. The ending is not bad. |
| 107. | Comments by nishishi [Rating: 8/10]
Good Dorama... The casting is ok! Altough i LOVE Sawajiri Erika, Yamada Taiyuki is far away from beign one of my fav. actors...
And i must say that i liked the movie better... IMO even the song from the movie ("Good Bye Days" by Yui) is better than the songs from the dorama...
Overall i really enjoyed the dorama.. I found it really heartwarming! In the end i liked it more than i tough that i would.... |

Only watched 1 episode, but there was enough bad acting/dialogue to kill any possibility that I would watch the whole thing. Sawajiri Erika seems to have done an excellent job in 1 littoru no namida, but in retrospect, maybe it was 'cause it fit her personality better or something...I mean, she definitely did a horrible job in Taiyou no uta. Also, I think it would've been better if they just found another person to sing her song. She doesn't have a bad voice, but it's not good enough to make me want to listen to it =P |

Erika plays another girl with an incurable disease. However, I liked this drama better than 1 Litre of Tears because it focused more on the friendship aspect more than her sickness. |

Just finished watching and I'm rather dissapointed. Maybe I expected too much. The acting and plot was just average and they tried to pull up the dorama with 2 songs. 1 LOT is far better than this one. |

A great cast, but a really weak story. I didn't like how they used her disease as an excuse for things to happen. They killed Erika's songs with the repetition! |
| 119. | Comments by zhirong [Rating: 6/10]
As much as I like Sawajiri Erika, I feel that she can do better in Taiyou no Uta. The plot of this series is once again about a girl with a terminal disease and Erika is once again, in a role that is bound to die in the end. The chemistry better her and Kouji (Yamada Takayuki) is somewhat lacking. Maybe it is because I expected alot more from them. |

Hesitate to watch this if you have already seen "1 Litre of Tears" and is hoping for something that might rival it. Sure it shares many similarities background-wise, including Erika as a sick lead character again, but the drama isn't anywhere near quality-wise. While the basic plot is fine, the flow in the execution can be questioned. It's nothing special, and the show has something of an identityproblem between serious and funny. The mix does not work. Another thing is that it tries too hard to be emotional engaging with the very dramatic music. The problem is that the drama seldom reaches as high of a level, making it seem forced. Erika still pulls out quite a good perfomance, and is likeable. However, and this might sound harsh, but it is when she is sick, weak and fragile that she is at her prime. Overall it is still a fine drama, but do not expect a masterpiece of any kind. |

Interesting show. Like most of the characters and the story was good at making me really curious about the character's background. |
| 132. | Comments by yurifly [Rating: 6/10]
it would be 6.5 for me bc the plot is too slow and predictable. Both Yamada and Sawajiri Erika are good dramatic actress, but their roles here are geting repetitive. I do like Sato Megumi here though. |

Yet another drama about somebody with an incurable illness. You how this one is going to end. The only question that needs to be answered is if the band will be a hit or not. Still, it's a pretty good series. |

Not bad, but the ending made me cry a lot! |

Typical disease drama, but i like that genre. |
| 137. | Comments by Ty_Sylicus [Rating: 8/10]
I started with K-Dramas and this is the only J-Dorama I've watched (I'm going to watch 1 Litre soon!).
I loved both the movie and dorama, though I liked the dorama more. (Yes, I said it =P) |

I thought Sawajiri Erika did better in this drama than in 1 litre of tears but she can sing a little bit. Yamada Takayuki was better in Sekai no chuusin... than in this one. |
| 139. | Comments by kirei_lanford [Rating: 7/10]
jsut a mediocre plot,, and at the end the story is really weak.. but better than nothing.. |
| 140. | Comments by dokodemodoa [Rating: 6/10]
only loved the songs she sings |
| 141. | Comments by Ohmiya [Rating: 8/10]
it was interesting, because the disease wasn¨t so well-known |
| 142. | Comments by Kugashira [Rating: 9/10]
Loved this drama. The story and characters were great. Sawajiri gave an excellent performance. The music was great too. Loved it! |
| 143. | Comments by sirhin [Rating: 8/10]
I enjoyed it and Erika Sawajiri seems to have found a niche in her choice of characters. She played a very believable character and the plot wasn't that over done as well. As soon as I finished one episode, I quickly flipped to the next one and the next one. Though I found the ending to be slightly disappointing, I find myself going back and re-watching the drama again just for kicks. |

I love this drama because of Yamada Takayuki.. i think he can play every role.. Sugoii. In addition, this drama has Erika Sawajiri and the plot is not bad either. |

nice drama |
| 146. | Comments by simpletoad [Rating: 7/10]
similiar to one litre of tears and sekachu ; a girl has a sickness , falls in love and eventually dies . would give it more credit if it didnt overstretch facts about XP |
| 147. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: ?/10]
COMPLETE. |
| 148. | Comments by sw33t_laydee [Rating: 8/10]

My rating is based only on the movie. |

Love the musical passion in it! Taiyou No Uta really inspired me a lot. |

erika sawajiri play a guitar & it's very nice |
| 152. | Comments by jiroukirihara [Rating: 9/10]
slow start, but got better as it went on... would get a 10 but dragged too much in the first 4 episodes |

| 157. | Comments by liquidlzero [Rating: 8/10]
it was nice...i not a big fan of sad dramas...it was a nice simple story.. not a lot happens though |
| 158. | Comments by rdborjal [Rating: 8/10]
I just love Sawajiri Erika. Kaoru Amane has a charming, if not very beautiful, voice. |
| 159. | Comments by kaily [Rating: 9/10]
Currently watching. Now 5 ep, and I can't stop! |
| 160. | Comments by Orenjideisu [Rating: 6/10]
It was good, but the ending was overdone. |
| 161. | Comments by ichinisan [Rating: 10/10]
one of my faves !!! ^_^
sawajiri erika tsuki !!!! hahahhaaa |
| 162. | Comments by kireiyuhi [Rating: 7/10]
While the acting was pretty good, the plot was sort of lacking. A good watch but nothing special or new |
| 163. | Comments by room304 [Rating: 7/10]
Taiyou no uta is about this girl with a terminal illness and this shy but oh so good looking guy who falls for said girl. The two become lovers, the illness progresses... sounds familiar? I thought so too. This drama seems like yet another copy of 1Litre no namida, but I liked it anyway because the main focus isn't solely on the disease but more on Kaorus dreams and her desire to live life to the fullest. |
| 164. | Comments by iced-wings04 [Rating: 9/10]
well this one is good too!!!
again another from erika sawajiri.
& a very sad drama again :) |
| 165. | Comments by Akyoku [Rating: ?/10]
Sawajiri Erika, loved her in 1 litre no namida |
| 166. | Comments by dirtypink [Rating: 8/10]
average to me.is it because i've watched too many dramas? it was really good at first but towards the end it was extremely predictable.however i loved yamada takayuki.as always=] |
| 167. | Comments by Amano_Tsukiko [Rating: 6/10]
Sawajiri's singing is horrible! Gimme YUI!! The movie version is absolutely better. |
| 168. | Comments by Swedish_Japan_Lover [Rating: 10/10]
GREAT acting from yamada, he's so great!
im getting pretty sick with sawajiri, she can't play any other roles than sick characters, she doesn't drag the rating down though. The story itself was very touching and im actually confused if i liked this better than the movie or not, they're pretty much equally good. I liked the environment a lot, it was very pleasant to watch, made those springfeelings (not exactly sure if this word excist in english haha) bubble up ^^ |
| 169. | Comments by jey92 [Rating: 10/10]
A sad but worth watching drama. Erika Sawajiri did a great job acting on this drama, must watch! |
| 170. | Comments by serm2802 [Rating: 8/10]
Nice one . Akarui |
| 171. | Comments by Deceased [Rating: 9/10]
Erika Sawajiri seems like perfecting her acting skills for those dying-from-illness roles. She is darn good in this drama.
But then again...if to choose....i prefer 1 litre of tears. Simply bcoz..the buildup and sadness of this drama is toward the end....
but
1 litre of tears start to get very emo from episode 3 onwards. Literally can cry every episode after that.
Despite that...this dorama still worth your time watching. Great casts too!
and of coz......The Nice Songs.
MUST DOWNLOAD!!! |
| 172. | Comments by popdod [Rating: 8/10]
Erika Sawajiri is getting too professional in acting dying roles. From her 1 litre of tears experience, i guess she had perfected the emotional scene. The only difference between 1 litre of tears and this is....one seek to live while the other seek for her dreams, her ambition of being a singer. Both dramas motivates ppl...but somehow this drama seems a bit of lacking. Kinda a fantasy that you know, won't happen in real life. Not the sickness but her luck meeting an understanding b.f and a music producer willingly to release her album.
Nonetheless, the core part of the drama is the music. 2 excellent piece of songs sang by Erika Sawajiri. Not fully polish but great to listen. |
| 173. | Comments by kevino2770 [Rating: 10/10]
Great music and Erika FTW! |
| 174. | Comments by houndofwinter [Rating: ?/10]
to watch |
| 175. | Comments by elfgeek [Rating: 9/10]
Superb! Maybe biased since I'm a fan of music. But the series had a captivating plot all the way through. My only complaint would be that the end could've just been slightly better. Erika is just too (cute) good to resist! |
| 176. | Comments by carina4 [Rating: 7/10]
This girl does an amazing job as an actress in these kinds of rolls, sad ones. It is a very good story, sad and you can really feel the passion they have for music! I will always remember Kaoru Amane's songs, cause they're so beautiful^^. But the sad part, nothing beats her other drama 1 litre of tears, that one had even more, but this one has more love, laghter, friendship etc in it. The way she died was a little too much I thought but yeah sad! |
| 177. | Comments by chibichan [Rating: 6/10]
boring, i have the whole series but i finish watching it in two months |
| 178. | Comments by Amber [Rating: 7/10]
I dont know... i was not really touched and i also didnt always want to know what would happen next... so unfortunately seven points. |
| 179. | Comments by jessiesoon [Rating: 8/10]
it's really nice....i can't tear myself away from the computer...when i started watching this drama, i knew i have to finish it asap!!
even tho i've watched the movie version but the drama is even better... |
| 180. | Comments by Sorata [Rating: 10/10]
This is my second favorite dorama, first it´s played by my favorite male and female actors(Takayuki and Erika) and it got romance plus a tragic story and i really loved it.
I loved when Kaoru asked Kouji: "What are you gonna do after i die?" and he answers: "First i´m gonna cry a lot, then i´m gonna curse God for being so unfair and then i´m gonna cry again".
The thing that IMO destinguish this from other doramas about terminal desiases(Beatiful Life, 1 litre of Tears, Kami Sama Mou Sukoshi Dake, Sekai Chuushin) is the fact that Kaoru´s character was really strong with great will and spirit, and that really touched me even though this is fictional(unlike 1 Litre of Tears for example).
Both Takayuki and Erika were superb in this, they couldn´t be better imo, and Kaouru´s songs really gave a lot of meening to the story.
I loved everything about it:the beggining, the middle and specially the ending. I watched the whole thing in one day, i couldn´t go to sleep without watching the end lol. |
