"Sawajiri Erika is the lead actress, starring as Aya. 9th grader (third year of junior high school) Based on a true story. This story is about a girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25.

The original story is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled "One Liter of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies.

Aya's only wish was "to live." By carefully depicting Aya's earnest desire to live, and the love of her family, friends, and lover, the drama, "One Liter of Tears" wishes to deliver her simple but strong message: "Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful." "


"To be able to smile and tell everyone this; i have, at least, cried one litre of tears. Therefore, even when i leave this school, I definitely won't think that some things have ended."
-Ikeuchi Aya-

I love this song!!! Though hearing it makes me feel very sad...



Sangatsu kokonoka (Goodbye version)

Her classmates sang for her when she was leaving the school. I cried while watching this scene.

It's the same song but this one was sung at the choir competition conducted by Aya.



Only Human (Theme song)
