The story sounds like from an old school drama of the late 90s
Hm, the age gap of 14 years between Takenouchi Yutaka and Ueto Aya is a little bit big, but it's ok i think.
Yeah, i'm really excited about this drama. I hope this will be a good one !
Ah, by the way. Matsuda Shota from Tsuki no Koibito and Kitano Kii from LIFE will be also starring in this drama, so together with Takenouchi Yutaka and Ueto Aya it can't be a bad drama

SO TRUE. he looks amazingly young.tinyamaki wrote:NAGAREBOSHI CM 15s

After seeing this....I think the huge age gap didn't matter....cos Takenouchi looked so young with that hair cut. I'm putting a high expectation on this one so I hope it'll be good.
now so sure about the story because it seems a sad one to me. from the two CMs, it seems the Aya's character is suffering from an illness because she said " if i die,...."
Wow he looks just great there. I'm really excited about this one. Hoping for a 90ies style melodrama with an equal amount of angst and fluff.
Well the description says the girl works in the sex trade and that she contemplated suicide...maybe he'll rescue her. If I had to guess I'd say this might be how they meet and decide to do the marriage contract...

here's an article from kawaii-joyuu.com
Takenouchi/Ueto drama confirmed
It's Monday and another rumored fall drama has finally been confirmed, but they are still deciding on suitable a title.
Actor Takenouchi Yutaka (39) will return to Fuji TV's prestigious Monday 9pm timeslot after more than 9 years since "Dekichatta Kekkon" in 2001. He is going to play a desperate man who ends up in a contract marriage with a woman working in the sex industry who seems to be just as desperate as him played by Ueto Aya (24). What starts out as a mere contract marriage eventually turns into a true and pure love.
Takenouchi plays Kengo, a man who enjoys spending his time at the aquarium. He seems to be a pretty ordinary person, but he actually has a huge secret that he would protect even if it means to sacrifice everything else in his life. Out of interest he ends up in a contract marriage with a prostitute called Risa who tried to commit suicide. Soon they develop real feelings for each other, but harsh reality turns out to be a rather high obstacle for the couple.
The producers are confident that they've found the perfect actor for this difficult role. "We wanted to portray a story about deep and genuine love and Takenouchi was the best choice that came to mind for such a difficult role. He will be great playing that man troubled by false love that suddenly turns into true love," the producer said with high expectations.
Ueto is going to play the female lead and it will be her first time working together with Takenouchi. In the past she already played a woman who would act as the lover of man in return for money, but it's the first time she's actually portraying the role of a prostitute. Her role, Risa, ends up selling her body in order to repay a huge debt of her older brother. Her only way out seems to be death as displayed via various remarks such as, "I just want to dissolve like a jellyfish."
In September they will start the filming and Takenouchi can't wait to meet the team. "I'm looking forward to meet Ueto as well as the rest of the cast and the whole staff. I'd like to work hard with everyone in the team in order to create something that will stay in your memories forever," Takenouchi made clear that he is aiming for one of those masterpiece dramas that have become rare in Fuji TV's main drama slot.
Ueto promised to work hard as well, "Risa is a young woman hungry for love who ends up rediscovering the importance of being alive thanks to a relationship that started out as a mere contract marriage. I'd like to try my best conveying the development of that love."
Young actor Matsuda Shota (24) will also appear as a doctor while actress Kitano Kie (19) will play the protagonist's younger sister who is suffering from a serious disease.
An official title has yet to be announced. Filming will start in September while the first episode is planned to air in October.

Goro Inagaki plays the villain
SMAP’s Goro Inagaki (36) has been cast as the bad guy in the upcoming TV drama Nagare-boshi, it was revealed yesterday, reports Sankei Sports.
Inagaki will play Ueto’s older brother, who is willing to destroy his sister’s happiness in order to get money to pay off his mounting debts.
It is the second time Inagaki will play a villain, following his tyrant role in the feature film “13 Assassins”, taking another step away from his clean, gentle “Goro-chan” image.The drama producers have said that the SMAP member’s character is very human in that he really does not want to hurt his sister, but does so anyway.
Inagaki said he was looking forward to playing a selfish character.
“He’s the guy that adds some spice to show so I hope I can play that part to the full.
“There are times you feel sorry for the guy, but most of the time he makes you think ‘oh, not him again’ so I hope I get my own intro music (laughs),” he said.

The comment about his own intro-music made me lmao.

just finished viewing ep1
a very depressing drama >_<
I really feel for Ueto Aya's character Risa and wanna kill off her bastard brother(Goro)!!
since it's what happened in ep1, I dont think I need to put a spoiler tag here.
The main plot goes like this.
Yutaka character's sister (Maria played by Kitano) has a liver problem and needs transplant.
Everyone in the family either cannot or is not willing to share his/her liver and waiting for donor would take forever.
Witnessing Risa trying to commit a suicide, Kengo(Yutaka) then offer to pay back her debt. In return, she has to become his wife, making her a legal family to Maria ,hence enabling her to give part of her liver to Maria. (asking non-family member to share liver = organ trading. that's why they need to get married first)
The show looks very promising. doesn't hurt that Matsuda Shota is in it too. hehe
Will continue watching next week.

i will watch it right now, will be back after i am done. but reading that is quiet depressing and sad drama (well so far ep1), i am just wondering what is happening with Jdramas this season. watched Guilty few hours ago and had more or less same feeling.
Edit:
just finished watching ep1, i have to say that i LOVE this drama. even though it has sad feelings but still love the pairing of Aya and Yutaka. i really need subs to understand everything being said but one thing i don't get
really looking forward for ep2. i think this going to be my favourite drama of the season. hope that it does not disappoint me.
on a lighter note, i just can't take shota's character as the Dr seriously. not sure why? maybe because he just looks so young to be one.

This drama seems pretty heavy with all the disease and the evil brother.
I think that's probably due to the liver transplant. Because there's the selling organs thing, so the doctors are very strict on who the donor is. If it's a total stranger, maybe the donating will be really troublesome.
Shota looks young but he's already 25 irl. (and 28 in this show) That's still logical. Just look at iryu3. They have a 20year-old intern doctor...

I really liked the first ep. I like how they drew Kengo and Risa and the chemistry is fine, too. I expected this to be kinda 90ies like and it looks that way =)) The camera and atmosphere is also very fitting.
I also thought Shota's performance as a doctor was a bit weak here... Goro on the other hand did a fine job, the first brother-sister scenes were fine and somehow just looking at him made me cack up ;)
The reason for the marriage is that she'll give part of her liver for Marie and Kengo'll pay her debts, That would be organ trade and a crime but it's ok if it's a family member. I like the plot so far
BTW, are there Japanese subs for this one?

Just watched ep 2 as well. I'm liking this drama so far. Initially I wasn't sure if this would be any good, and thought the pairing was rather odd and a love story between the two wouldn't be believable. But there's pretty good chemistry between Kengo and Risa so far, and I'm hoping this will turn out to a good drama.
Can't wait to see ep 3! Things are looking complicated going by the preview.
ep2 was just great.
seriously loving Kengo x Risa pair. just so cute. Mari x Ryuta couple is another adorable pair.
i think Aya is doing a great job as Risa. so far, her character is the most interesting one. Yutaka's character still has not shined as much and so far just being ordinary loving brother character. but like his cool and calm image when he is in most distress.
i can't wait for their love story to begin.

you're right. totally forgot about the dates in Japan thanks for reminder
as for Ryuta
i have the feeling the he will die in one point in the drama. i did not care for him much in ep1 too and i liked Kamiya with Mari but somehow, i found him cute in this ep.
i like the pace of the drama. not slow at all. but i want to see them fall in love soon.

For those who are very impatient (like me!), a low quality version can be seen on pandora.tv.

Ep 3 was good... for those who don't mind spoilers, the overall gist based on what i could catch is below:
I really like the pace and although the mood is heavy and serious, it doesn't feel depressing. Am loving the scenes with Kengo and Risa. And I think Risa is beginning to have some feelings for Kengo.
Urgh, going by next week's trailer, there's going to be a lot of Goro (Risa's brother) in it. Still I can't wait to see the next ep!
Oh and the Kobukuro song 'Ryusei' is just

A friend reminded me that the aunt in ep2 was saying something about Maria but got stopped by her husband so I guess there is some secret about her.
xploring. I hope you're not right^^ I want to see some fluffy happy ending...after lots of hardships, obstacles and difficult decisions I'd love to have a happy end (must be my autumn mood^^)

arakira, I didn't catch that part earlier! Just rewatched it..
xploring, I initially thought the same too. But arakira's comment earlier about Kengo's secret made me think a bit more. I could be thinking too much though. However, Bara no Nai Hanaya was really good, so I wouldn't mind if there were some twists in Nagareboshi too.
i'm hoping for a happy ending too. I like them as a couple, so I hope nobody dies in the end. Anyway don't think they would want to scare people off donating their organs since Japan is already donor scarce?
Anyway I finally watched this in HD. The ending part of the trailer for ep 4! Things are going to get interesting!

Hello. I really like this series. I have a question for the people who saw episode 3. Risa who has orange hair, decided to dye to brown/black before the interview. Why is that? Do they look down the girl with orange hair. I noticed that there are Japanese with dark skin with orange hair. Are they name for these types of women? I always thought Japanese women want to be white skin as possible

as far as I know light-brown color haired girls has the image of "gyaru" / gal type: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyaru
While the prim and proper girls who works in normal companies in Japan usually dyes their hair dark brown.

As for Risa, one of Kengo's co-worker described her as the "Kuri-onee" type. I still don't understand that term, it must be a new term If anyone can explain, yoroshikuu~~
But I'm guessing probably it's related to the downtown type of girl who speaks in slang?
If you understand Japanese, you can immediately notice that the way Risa speaks, is ...well, totally not the prim and proper type.
I like how Risa and her brother says, "Shiranai kanji?"(he/she doesn't know?)... that's a slang I rarely heard

My dictionary said kurione is a sea butterfly or sea angel. So I just kinda thought it was a complimentary term. Sort of like calling her an angel from the sea since the first time they saw her she was on the other side of the aquarium glass. LOL.
And yes, it was very thoughtful of her to colour her hair dark and also change her dressing for the interview.

Yes, I also think clione is a 'sea angel', like a pretty but exotic creature. I thought it was a compliment, calling her clione-neechan or maybe it was clionechan?
And I agree, she talks pretty downright rude at times, I especially noticed towards Kengo's mum. She's not behaving polite as someone would expected to be when staying at a stranger's home - I mean we know why, the contract and everything- but it still must be hard for the mother...
But I also think she's nothing like a gyaru (thanks for the wiki links, never expected to find explanations for those sub-types there) - I miss the circle of gal's around her... and much less a ganguro (not tan, tame fashion)
Rather I think she used to colour it like that cause of work and cause she felt nothing like a prim and proper gal ;)

about Maria
and i still don't know the reason why
and I do think that is a bit over exaggeration from from Maria's part
and Risa's brother really starting to annoy me more than i can tolerate too. i can see all problems that will be following Risa and Kengo's way just because of him.
but i LOVED all those sweet moments between Risa and Kengo and you can feel that their romance is already starting to grow deeper. even the way they talk to each other is with more emotions. i seriously can't wait for them to fall in love more and more. we go 6 more eps.
and somehow i have changed ship. Ryuta x Maria pairing is very cute. I think Maria is developing some feelings for Ryuta and it is very obvious. i just hope that no tragic ending be on their way but somehow i have feelings that it be very likly.

i'm so loving this drama! didn't quite expect Takenouchi Yutaka and Ueto Aya to have such awesome chemistry. I think Yutaka mentioned in an interview that Nagareboshi is atypical of getsu9 because of the rather humble & toned down storyline. The first episode's rating wasn't fantastic, but I hope it's one of those dramas that stick, and build viewership base slowly but steadily! Hoorah to the ratings for ep4, hope the increase continues.
Anyone loved that scene
So many small but heartwarming scenes....

Ep 5 was good, but it got me dislike Maria a little more.
So far I have seen a lot of exaggerations in this drama, like the psychotic brother and the marriage contract, which are the bone of the story. The only normal thing is the development in Risa-Kengo's relationship. It's quite slow, but it's the only believable thing to me. Like they don't jump right to the oh-I-just-realized-I-love-her-so-much conclusion; things are subtle and gradual, which makes me anticipate every episode. Never noticed much about Ueto Aya before, but I'm loving her in this drama. Takenouchi Yutaka is still that actor I loved after watching Koori no Sekai.
