 Finally have reached the end of these recaps, current dramas I usually do posts on every 1 or 2 episodes, these older ones I tend to wait too long and have to do so many in a row, kind of drained right now. Also I may have forgotten a few things too along the way, so much happened in this drama that it's easy to do but think almost all the main points have been explained so far.
 Mio has left the band and is now living in Okinawa working at a school. With the help of her aunt she finally finds where her mother is buried and makes a tearful appearance at her grave, the last 4 episodes Mio seems to be constantly in tears. She also makes a final visit to Tokyo to finalize her matters before departing on her big trip, will talk about that shortly. While in Tokyo she disguises herself and attends for the first time an
A.N. Jell concert as a fan, she's hoping to get in and out with no one noticing her but that does not come close to happening.


 Ren has heard the Mio is in the audience and sings a special song just for her, the song really brings the crowd and Mio to such a tearful extreme. Ren can't find Mio out there anywhere even when the lights come on, he's had that problem with his vision where he can't see at all in the dark thus the lights came on making it even more sentimental. Ren and Mio finally find each other after the concert and have a somewhat joyous reunion, they also have their first major kiss. Ren thinks now that all is okay, he and Mio have talked with his mother and seemed to have patched most things up, much of what she had told Mio were lies.
 While it's true the two of them are getting along so well again Mio drops one huge bombshell on Ren which is that she''' be going to Africa for a year to work with children there and there is no possible way for her to back out. In the ending Mio does travel to Africa and spend a year there, after that she returns to Tokyo and guess what, Ren had promised he would be waiting for her and true to his word he was as he was at the airport for her arrival and after all that has happened between the two of them the show ends with it looking like the pair will live happily ever after.


 Whew, that finally concludes this drama, didn't think it would take as long doing these posts as it did. The recaps are not too lengthy but put them all together and just about everything that happened in the show you'll find, mainly though for Mio and the members of A.N.Jell. Going in thought it might be some sort of lame drama, knew Miori would be superb and she really was though she really doesn't look at all like a male. The other cast members also did very well, thought the band members wouldn't be so good but actually they really did a fine job which really made this series close to a must watch, Wouldn't call it a must watch but this was one of the better dramas I've seen recently, the last year or so too many dramas are not worth watching so it's good to have ones like this to fall back on.
 Will give this an 8.8/10, couple episodes weren't fantastic, actually the finale wasn't close to being the best one even with all that happened. I would really recommend this drama, any one I've ever seen Miori in is really worth a watch, if you like her at all you'll really enjoy this show.
