It’s that time of the month again where ARAMA! JAPAN contributors share their favorite songs, albums, and dramas released last month.

Y’all already know which album is going to be getting praise in this post.

Last month, it was announced that we are getting a live action film of Yamamori Mika’s manga “Hirunaka no Ryusei” (Daytime Shooting Star)! They recently revealed the cast along with a visual of them in costume.

Nagano Mei will play as Yosano Suzume, the whimsical protagonist born and raised in the countryside. Miura Shohei is cast as Satsuki Shishio, the homeroom teacher Suzume falls in love with and Shirahama Alan (GENERATIONS FROM EXILE TRIBE) will play as Mamura Daiki Daiki, Suzume’s classmate who slowly falls in love with her, even though he knows how she feels about Satsuki.

Does the casting meet your expectations?
