世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ..Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World

Today i have been watched this series for the whole noon..watched 8 episods in 8 hours *scary* It's a very nice series..a fren of my sis introduced this series to me..is a very very sad series..sad series again..same as what i have watched in the last h0liday.."stairways in heaven"..luckily this time i dint ..tears...yet...haha..

Basically, it is a story about Sakutaro "Saku" Matsumoto & Aki Hirose, who were classmates all through junior high school, become high school students & then fall in love with one another. They share audio diaries, go on excursions together & enjoy summer vacation. However, Aki soon finds herself suffering from leukemia & beings to weaken day by day, rendering her unable to see Saku or go outside. Saku, desperate to take Aki to Uluru (Ayer's Rock) in Australia (the "Center of the World" in the Japanese title), a place she had wished to go to, desperately tries to achieve just that. Aki dies before ever boarding the plane, and Saku is left to live out his life without her.

17 years later, as an older, sombre Saku trudges through everyday existence, the last tape of Aki's audio diary is suddenly unearthed, leading Saku back to his hometown in the south, and back into his memories of his last days with Aki.
