LOL, it's funny because my dad is the one that made me watch the drama.
He started watching it because he became a fan of erika and he forced me to watch it.
I'm glad I watched it because it was such a good drama and I cried sooooooo much.
I'm watching it again today.

- Kyu

I might watch this again after finals because I'm a afraid I might get depressed if I watch this before going into finals

this might sound like a stupid question....

but did the love story part of the drama happened also? O_O?

or did the writer just add that for a little "flavor"?

i'm soooooo curious O_O

no... the love story didn't exist in life of the real aya...

OMG i LOVE this drama.
This story made me cry so much.
I've watched it at least 2 times already.
Has anyone actually read the book?
I'm tempted to buy it but seeing as how my understanding of the japanese language is very limited and i live in Canada, i cant really get it.

I wish i met her somehow, she's an amazing person.
WAAAHHH i feel like crying now, this drama made me cry buckets man!

i loved this drama! it was so beautiful yet sad, and one of the best that i've seen so far.

i love ryo <3 when he first came out i didn't think that he was that good looking, but his character kinda grows on you xD

i had watched it since last yr, both movie and drama. havent buy the book yet.
this is the 1st drama that makes me cried so hard for almost all episode.
rewatched it a couple of times and it still gets me.
this drama is like the best i ever watch, so realistic, and makes me question myself rgding my life.
im so getting the book to read.

This was the first drama that made me seriously cry. ;___; Wow, it was so sad...

i've started and finished this in one day
.__. it's soo sad.
made me cry in almost all the episodes.
it makes me think more about life, and its sad to see all those who don't really care about life
/:

(hope this helps )

i just watched this last tuesday.
and i know im kinda late. i watched it straight...haha
the story was so touching and totally memorable one.
i do cry watching it!

i watched the whole drama... its really sad ....

I watched the whole thing about a week ago. I actually really liked it. Erika Sawajiri did a really good job of playing Aya because it's hard for many actors to put themselves in the role of a sick person with an incurable disease (like being able to express what the character is going through in a way that makes a lasting impact on the audience), and she did a good job with it. Overall I thought that the acting was great by everyone on the show. It's also a really sad drama and the fact that this was based off of a true story makes that much more of an impact on the viewer.


I thought this was a "breakthrough performance" by her. I'm really looking forward to seeing her in more dramas!

By the way, Erika is reeaaallllyyy cute, especially when she smiles haha.
coffee1212 knows what i mean LOL

Oh and she is a verrryyy talented actress - another good performance in "A Song to the Sun (タイヨウのうた/Taiyou no Uta)"


IN ADDITION - One part that really made me sad was when she was in the hospital and she tried calling her family in the middle of the night with a pay phone, but she couldn't complete the call because she kept dialing the wrong numbers or took too long to dial, so she ended up falling asleep by the pay phone in her wheel chair until her mom came to help her and she started crying in her mom's arms about why the disease chose her and asking her mom to save her...

I watched this drama a few days ago.. It broke my heart.
I'm not gonna explain it though because everyone else probably knows what I'm talking about.
A new outlook on life, the want to work harder, sudden inspiration to help find the cure to that disease, etc..
It makes me sad, it does.

i recently finished this too, man, i cried so much ><

Omg, i just finished watching this on mysoju.com its so sad! tears just falling down like crazy!! sadest drama ever!! then stairway to heaven

i heard that this is super sad... :S i kinda want to watch it.. but really.. shud i ? lol

i loved her portrayal of Aya she's such an amazing actress and her tears are so natural.
i hear that she's been chosen for a comeback project hopefully it's confirmed. i really want to see her acting again.
she was really good in Closed Note as well.


ttris i would watch it i were you. its a really touching drama. very very sad but incredible as well.

Hmm, I just finished watching the Special, and at the end it said "Information about her life is available on her homepage." So, I was wondering, does anyone know the link to Aya's homepage? D:

hey, i'm about to start watching 1 litre of tears but i don't know which one to watch. There's a movie and a drama. I was wondering which was it that started that whole 1 litre of tears craze thing???? the drama or the movie?

GO WATCH THE DRAMA!!!

The drama was what started the unstoppable tears of fans everywhere. A wise choice would be to prepare a box of tissues... make that two boxes.

Looved this drama. It's so sad! I didn't really cry A LOT, like sobbing-wise, but I did cry. The girl was so pretty and like ):, ahh. She did a great job acting her part!!

I actually found a Xanga blog where the owner was translating the actual book, One Litre of Tears, into English so people could read it, but she never finished and is doing like one entry once every .. few months or something.

http://www.xanga.com/OneLitre < This is the site, if anyone is interested.

i'm not too sure if this is the right thread to post this, but...
i was wondering if i can purchase "One Liter of Tears" anywhere in the US.
i searched for it on amazon and there was nothing.
thank you.

purchase?? hmm... i dont know where you can find that cuz like the drama came out... some time ago right? i doubt they'll have that anywhere in store. but i know where you can DOWNLOAD it. if that even helps

omg.. i just finished the drama... and it was so sad.. omg.. aya reallie has a great heart to keep on going and never gave up... it was such a stab in the heart drama because it hurts so much to see your daughter like that... or to see ur friend suffering with this sickness... it was such a sad drama... this was my all time fav drama.. and the song... only human is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^I agree. The instrumentals on the 1 Litre of Tears soundtrack are certainly one of the best. This drama definitely brings the emotions out for me.

Just finished it...took me a while to too because I'm such a wuss lol...afraid to cry...and man did I cry...Makes me feel soo grateful and see things in a new light...I think I"m going to look for the OST now....

One litre of Tears?

TRY MAKING IT FIVE LITRE OF TEARS

ahh, i watched this! i loved it soo much;
i cried soo muuch >_<" but it was worth itt
i watched it here
but you have to download winamp to watch it :]

one of the most inspiring drama I'd say
and what really get me is that it based on true story

OMG!!!!
I never cried so much in my life.
I shed so many tears watching this.
It was really good though.
Worth watching.

Good drama, but i never watched the whole thing. It was too dragging and long for me.
I watched like the first 3 or 4 eps and then skip to the last 15 mins of the last episode. v.v

But i gotta admit, i did cry while watching this.

ahhh
i cried in every episode except the first one.
and bawled like a baby in the really really sad events
T.T

its probably the best sad dramas i've ever watched
i think i almost cried in every ending of every episode except the first one :P

ohmygee. i lovelovelove this drama.. i started crying on the second episode and i cried on every episode except the first xD ahah

This drama was really interesting to watch and it was really addicting, I finished it in 2days xD

I really liked the song the whole class sings, the one where they performed for the school.
Anyone know the title of the song?

Thanks in advance,
Yan

OMG! me too!
i've never cried so much in my life..i think..lol
gah! i'm just disappointed that Asou and Aya didn't even hold hands!!
i mean, they were in a sort of relationship, right?

*sigh*
NISHIKIDO RYO is LOVE

I really liked this drama. xD
I cried a lot.

I think I cried more than a litre of tears throughout the whole drama, heck through every episode after the first ;__;
I don't think I've ever cried so much before TT_TT




Ryo is hotttt.
And the guy who plays Dr. Mizuno was *O* wowowww.
and Erika is SO adorable omfg T_T

^ I think it's call '3gatsu 9ka' by Remioromen

^yeah, the song is Sangatsu Kokonoka by Remioromen its really nice.
here's a link of the band singing it live: HERE
here's a fancam of Ryo-kun singing it <3: HERE
& finally here's the drama version subbed: HERE


i can never get enough of this drama ^ i have to agree, Ryo-kun is awesome and SO hot in here xD, Erika is amazing and adorable as Aya, and Dr. Mizuno is great too

Holy shells, I watched this last year.
It made me cry buckets!
I watched it again 3 nights ago and I still cried.
T___T

I heard there's a movie too.
But with different casts.

This is my CRY Drama!!!

Cried in every really every episode*proud*

Could't stop and my sister who watched only episode cried too^^

Okay, seriously, this is the best drama I've ever seen. And it makes it even more touching that it was based off of a true story.

I really liked the theme song of Aya and Haruto (and HOLY SMOKES, Asou-kun is HOT!). I also liked how the romance progressed in the series... I didn't cry a liter of tears, literally, but I've never cried as much as I did when I saw this drama.

And...I finished it all in one weekend. But now I need to go see the special extra thing they have on Haruto!!!

^

Its all real except for the romance .

I really love this drama [:
I take it with me when I go sleep over other peoples houses haha .

^ Ah, yeah, I read that part about Asou-kun while I was in the midst of watching it. But it doesn't take away from Aya's work at living, right? (At least, not to me ). But you're so lucky! I want to buy it... Do you know if it comes with English subs? And what region DVD player you need to have?

EDIT:
Oh, I saw the special, too. I was kind of sad that over half of it was just cut scenes from the series, lol, but it was still good. I was happy that it showed what happened to Asou-kun after Aya's death (though he's fictional).

This drama is so good. D: Even though I knew she had died and the doctor annouced that she's dead. I still cried. ;~; a lot too xD; this series is sooooo good D:.

this is 1 drama which i really cried.... felt so fortunate after i watched this show... the songs are also very nice!!!

this show is very inspiring... made me realised how fortunate and blessed we are... there are so many people who are worse off than us...

instead of complaining about life, i guess we need to count our blessings and be contented...o .
