It is very true, as the company, through its course, is capable of taking away the future of the children he loved so much.

What makes "Itsuka, Hero" particularly impressive is its focus on the problems of new generations and society in Japan. This era has also commonly been referred to as "The Lost 30 Years." Through this phrase, the struggle regarding economic and social issues that younger generations have faced is conveyed, making a sharp contrast to the more prosperous era their predecessors lived in. The idea of the movie and scriptwriter Hiroshi Hayashi, the person behind series "Code Blue" and "BOSS," is to walk through the gap between generations, creating a story with a lot of psychological and emotional impact, having at the same time an electrifying pace.

As Akayama is facing some shocking revelations from his past, such as his earlier identity as "The Vulture," a dark sorcerer who could manipulate the financial sector and was feared by many, the audience should prepare to see the various layers of his character grow. The vivid illustration of a man's life from the past to the present becomes the main line of thought, showing how people can make use of their past experiences and weaknesses to bring about a change and protect the ones they hold dear. 

The character of Akayama as played by Kiritani Kenta is also nourished by his commitment to reality. His preparation for the part included research on the physical as well as psychological aspects of a person under circumstances of prolonged unconsciousness to make his interpretation be characterized as perfectly natural. Apart from that, Kenta also acquired the role of a mentor, taking part in the progress of his young co-actors, among whom are new talents Miyase Ryubi and Nagahama Neru. This constant commitment to the creation of a collaborative environment is an echo of the show's hidden message that power often comes from the community and the sharing of experiences.

Comprising merely eight episodes, "Itsuka, Hero" offers a powerful, intense emotional expedition that holds the most touching and appealing moments which will arouse the viewers' sympathy all around the world. Minami Yudai, the producer, has conveyed the most important idea that "Everyone is capable of becoming a hero in their unique way," thereby emphasizing the motif of the series on hope, grit, and the leverage a single person has on his/her society.

Indeed, as the face-to-face of the initial day is about to take place, the main issue about it will be: Can Akayama meet his previous students and destroy the power of Dream Inc.? On April 6, from ABC TV, people worldwide are invited to come and see how the story of the movie is a manifestation of heroism, goodness, and perseverance that take place against the hardships. In any case, the program "Itsuka, Hero" should be in the notice of those who will be out at that time of the broadcast on Sundays at 10:15 PM JST on ABC TV!
