Falling in love isn’t anything new. Couples fall in and out of love all the time. But what does it really mean to be “going out”? Is it really all that wonderful to be “tied” to your favorite person, maybe forever? Why do people even fall in love in the first place?

In the story of “Kakafukaka” (2019), we saw Aki Terada (Aoi Morikawa) and Akari (Risa Nakamura) both fall in love with the same man but did you ever stop to wonder why? What was it about Hongyo Tomoya (Masaki Nakao) that they loved most? Why did Akari become such a fan of Tomoya’s work? Why did Aki agree to his unexpected request?

In this special, Aki and Akari invite you to join them in a little girl talk, as they tell you the stories behind the story. Theirs is a tale of hot summer nights full of strawberry kisses, cold noodles, and fireworks, you won’t want to miss!

Based on the manga of the same name by Takumi Ishida, this “Kakafukaka Special” is a 2019 drama special directed by Momoko Fukuda.

Kakafukaka Special

Aki Terada (Aoi Morikawa) was living a pretty good life. She had a steady job, a boyfriend she loved, and the life they shared felt like something out of a dream. But that dream shattered the day she caught her boyfriend cheating on her. Deciding to cut the cheater out of her life for good, Aki moves out of their apartment and into a share-house.

Only after moving into her new home does Aki learn that her long lost first love, Tomoya Hongyo (Nakao Masaki), is one of her new housemates. Reunited with her old flame, the two pick up where they left off, all those years ago. But it’s only after Tomoya makes an unexpected request that things really heat up between them.

Falling in love with Tomoya all over again, Aki is happy to let her heart lead where it may. But things at home get a little more complicated when their homeowner and housemate, Taichi Hase (Yuki Kousei), suddenly asks her to marry him.

At 26 years old, Kanoko Tsukishiro (Aoi Morikawa) may not be an expert at love but that doesn’t mean she isn’t living the dream. Working as an editor in the literature department of a prominent publishing company, Kanoko has settled into the job of her dreams, and nothing in the world could make her happier. Or so she keeps telling herself. Deep down she knows that she’d like to experience love at least once in her life. But work has always come first and love will just have to wait. But not for long...

Given the task of overseeing the works of wildly popular mystery writer, Saku Kagaya (Yu Shirota), Kanoko suddenly finds herself working side-by-side with the very man whose lessons on love have shaped all her dreams and ideas on the subject. Having learned all about love through Saku’s books, Kanoko can’t help but feel a little something special when it comes to her new work partner. Unfortunately for her, Saku seems to feel nothing at all.

Petty and aloof, Saku’s greatest pleasure seems to come from picking on poor Kanoko. Determined to help Saku produce yet another top-selling novel, Kanoko puts up with all of her writer’s nonsense but it isn’t easy. Especially not when, despite everything, she finds herself falling for him. Pondering the decisions of her heart, Kanoko has to wonder, can an unlovable man and a woman who’s never been in love really find happiness together?

But when she lays eyes on the school’s young world history teacher, Kosaku Ito (Toma Ikuta), for the first time, everything changes.

Seen by most as a stern, cold individual, Kosaku isn’t exactly the friendliest of the schools’ teachers. But when he unexpectedly comes to Hibiki’s rescue, she realizes that beneath his cold exterior lies a kind and compassionate heart. Falling more in love with him by the day, Hibiki decides to confess her feelings. Unfortunately, as soon as Hibiki tells Kosaku how she feels, he rejects her completely.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Undeterred by Kosaku’s rejection, Hibiki continues to harbor a crush on her teacher, hoping that her feelings will eventually melt his icy heart. Unable to deny Hibiki’s sincerity, the wall Kosaku has put up between them slowly begins to crumble. But how can a teacher and a student ever find a way to live happily ever after?
