Firstly, the reason why I wanted to watch it was because Nissy from the band AAA is playing the lead male role.

Kaito and Asuka-chan


Obviously those with the ghost icons beside the characters are dead. But it becomes more complicated when Asuka falls in love with Kaito. What is going to happen between the 2? Especially when Kaito is neither in the real world or the ghost realm. I can't wait to watch more!!!!

Despite its a story about ghosts, it is not frightening...haha I am a huge scaredy cat. It is interesting to note the use of camera effects and sounds to portray ghosts - simple yet very effective tricks. Although a little bit more warmth could be depicted in this drama. Nevertheless, I still think that it is interesting in its own way regardless of it being a typical story. I would say that if you prefer a light drama with a bit of innocence then this is recommended for you.


hehe special effects

The closing theme for Aizu - I actually quite like the song especially at the bridge even though it sounds a little bit sappy and the singing is a tad high for me...but if anyone can pull it off, its these 2 singers. Its available to listen on music soundtracks!
