Seems that little Sena is a trooper! 👏👏👏

 

Producer Ken Murase also gives the updates that he's busy polishing the Ep01, and thankful too for the messages of support and the pics at the posters in the Shinjuko station's Odakyu line.

Five days before premiere, here's Mizuki, played by Furukawa Kotone ❤️

Update from Ken Murase: Colour grading in progress ✨️ 

 

Look at the pic, what's in the screen. It confirms the funeral first meeting of Natsu and Umi in Ep01. Further to this, pretty sure the life of Umi and Mizuki before her death would be narrated to Natsu through the point of views of Grandma Akane and Tsuno.

Producer Ken Murase's latest: deciding on the music and sound effects while scenes are played, and timing for the theme song to be played. Ep01 is almost ready for broadcast!

 

The updates of Producer Ken sometimes gives us soc med followers the equivalent of Easter eggs 😅

Ok guys, where are we going to watch this   I read some comments on My Drama List and no streaming service picked it up.  Will we be able to watch on a not so legal site?

IMO, it's not picked up yet by others until all the eps are aired in Japan. If it was like Trillion Game, the local airing date was July, and it premiered internationally only by October. Some fan subbers might pick it up before that, aside from those sites...

[MayanEcho]

The Beginning of the Sea held a preview screening in a Tokyo theater today. The theme song "To New Lovers" by back number was also performed for the first time during the preview.

The height of Meme is always the first thing I notice when they're having group photos. 😅

 

...and what a fast worker Ken Murase and his crew are, whew! 

 

Fuji TV event airing tomorrow with Furukawa Kotone, Arimura Kasumi, and Meguro Ren
