Ifve been watching hKimi ga Jinsei no Tokih gThe Time of Your Lifeh. (1997)
The show stars:
Shimizu Misa
Takashima Masanobu
Furuya Ikko
Matsushima Nanako
The blurb for this show goes something like this: When a small town decides to tear down one of its grammar schools, a group of former students return to dig up the time capsule their Brass Band had buried 15 years before. Since many of the former students failed to return to claim the items theyfd buried as children, Takashima Masanobu is assigned the task (since he works at City Hall and has access to the townfs records) of tracking down his old school chums and returning their items to them.
Thatfs what happens. Thatfs how the show starts. Thatfs not what the show is about.
This is a show with a backbone. A theme. And the theme is; Loneliness. It examines the loneliness of everyday people, from several different generations and social backgroundsc WITHOUT BECOMING MAUDLIN! Without resorting to melodrama. Without becoming a weepy, simplistic, soap opera.
The show looks at several different people, and peels away the facade. The Salaryman with 30 years invested in a companycwho finds himself being pushed out. The beautiful, intelligent, self assertive TV News Woman living a domestic nightmare. The well brought up High School girl whofs willing to prostitute herself with middle aged strangers partly for the money, but mostly because she wants someone to pay attention to her. The former child prodigy who couldnft live up to her early success and has retreated into the safety of her parentfs home. The rock solid, core familyc thatfs actually a disaster just beneath the surface.
Since this is an older show, it isnft a beautiful, wide screen, High Def, visual masterpiece. The sets are spare and simple. The outdoor shots of the small town they live in are washed out and generic (It helps that it was filmed during the winter.). Therefs nothing all that gspecialh about the townc or the people who live in it. Theyfre just people, living isolated livesc searching for ways to combat the loneliness.
I know. Ifve made it sound depressing. But thatfs just my lack of skill as a writer. This is a very well written and acted show. And rather than being sadc it makes you root for the people youfve come to know.
If I were trying to sell this show, the old line Ifd use in the adds would be: gLife is what happens, while youfre waiting for your real life to begin.h
