This is a true story of an irreplaceable first love from 30 years ago.

The lead role is played by Riko, who played the lead role for the first time in the ABEMA drama "Black Cinderella" in 2021 after graduating from the exclusive modeling magazine "Popteen". In recent years, she has starred in the dramas "The Best Teacher: 1 Year Later, I Was ■sed by a Student" and "Ao Haride" and the movie "Nadani, Chikki-kun ga Ama ni Tsuitekuru." and other high-profile films, as well as starring in the movie "Strange Lovers from a Different Planet," which will be released in January 2024.

The other actress is Fukuoka-born Tomoki Yonemura, who became a hot topic last year when he appeared on the Netflix romantic reality show "Wolves Can't Fool You," and has since become active as an actor and model.

Synopsis

One day during summer vacation in 1993.

Hiromi (Riko), a second-year high school student in Tagawa, is hospitalized for appendicitis.

Hiromi is washing her hair on the rooftop when suddenly a tall, blonde-haired yankee man appears.

The yankee is 21-year-old Naoki (Tomoki Yonemura), who is in the hospital after breaking his knee on a motorcycle.

Hiromi is attracted to the badass but charming Naoki, and before long, the rooftop becomes a place for both of them.

One night, Hiromi reveals that she and her father (Masato Hagiwara) do not get along.

As their feelings for each other grow, Hiromi leaves the hospital.

A few days later, she goes on her first date with Naoki, who has given her permission to go out.

Convinced of her love for Naoki, Hiromi goes to see him.

Then, she finds out a shocking truth.

Naoki was hiding a secret.

Comment]

I actually visited Tagawa City to shoot the film, so I think the scenery and the atmosphere conveyed by the images are very realistic. Personally, this was my first time acting in the Tagawa dialect, so it was a new experience for me!

I think the story is a little different from the previous Fukuoka Love White Paper, and I would be very happy if you could warmly watch it until the end.

Cast: Tomoki Yonemura (Naoki Haraguchi)

Comment

I am very happy to be cast in this drama series that has been loved for many years in Fukuoka Prefecture, where I am from. I have been watching this series on TV since I was in my hometown, so I was even more deeply moved when I was chosen to appear in it. Hiromi is bright, energetic, and strong-minded, and Naoki is straightforward and a little clumsy. I hope you will warmly watch their lovely and sad story.

Riria Kojima (Nurse: Mariko Ogawa)

Comment

I met this actress through a wonderful chance encounter. I was very happy to be able to play the role of Mariko, who has a strong sisterly spirit. I breathed in the clean air of Tagawa and cheered for the two cute and honest protagonists from my side.

I hope that those moments when I wanted to hug them and those moments when I couldn't help but hug them will reach everyone's heart.

Ichika Osaki (Hiromi's best friend: Yoko)

Comment

Shooting in Tagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, I felt like I was detoxing in the quiet scenery surrounded by mountains. It was also the first time for me to try the Tagawa dialect.

Although I struggled with the differences in intonation, I had a lot of fun performing the role, so I hope you will pay attention to the cute dialect!

Miki Sakai (Playing the role of Hiromi in modern times)

Comment.

I will be appearing in the Fukuoka Love White Paper series, which has been popular for many years.

When I first read the script, I naturally burst into tears.

This production is centered on a sweet and sour life drama that actually took place in Fukuoka Prefecture,

It is a bit sad, but at the same time, heartwarming.

During the filming, I played the role of the character while valuing the tender feelings that people continue to have for each other.

I hope many people will watch it.

Masato Hagiwara (Hiromi's father: Kazunori Nishi)

Comment

In life, the past and future can be changed by "encounters".

Whether it is a parent and child, a friend or a lover, something important and invisible may come into view.

If you could meet the people who are living in this work, you might be able to see something important, and I believe that this is such a wonderful work.
