Kiyohara Kaya (清原果耶)
Ai Uta: My Promise to Nakuhito (愛唄 約束のナクヒト)
Kaya has a lot of tough scenes that she acted brilliantly in, but I wanted to remember this movie with this equation. It's cute and takes some thinking to understand!

Tuner from Daniel Roher was great! I'm unfamiliar with Leo Woodall and Havana Rose Liu, but they did a great job (especially Havana w/ the emotional scenes). What a smart plot! I loved the visuals. I loved the sounds as if we get to hear what Niki hears.
I don't know much about Minami Sara 南沙良 but watching her on Another Sky was really nice. Sara suddenly talked about not liking herself, and staying inside and not talking. I don't know what made her try acting but it seemed to help her out.
#VNL2026 Japan vs France WOW I thought yesterday's match against the USA was crazy but this one upped it. Love seeing Ishikawa's calmness throughout. Ran has found another level this week. AND Nishimoto -his energy is that intangible factor in the past 2 matches that helped out
#さばうちゅ episode 11 (final). A shared dream > an individual dream. A truly satisfying conclusion to a long term goal.
It felt so different compared to other high school dramas because of this shared dream, and the emotions poured. The cast will be an embarrassment of riches.
@BenCorvine Episode 1 is very good. A few episodes after are setups with a dense amount of information that I personally watched a few times. There's action. There is a lot of strategy and tactical talk. I would rank the payoff for a few episodes up there with episode 1, personally.
Personally, Aoteru may end up being one of the best written fictional characters. I feel like I'm already influenced by how he thinks about things -steady, logical, and far into the future.
Nippon Sangoku Episode 12 (season end). One of the best series ever. I literally clapped out loud when it ended. They pulled something crazy off, and then the last quarter was just blasting through some insane story. The setup is looking dire.
As a fan, I would have loved to see all that stuff that was explained in the latter half play out...but there is something much larger afoot that is planned out and I am all for it. The story is about Aoteru and how he can help in this war.
