What happens

Sono toki Heartwa Nusumareta (その時ハ-トは盜まれた, Sono toki Hātowa nusumareta; lit. "At that moment, my heart was stolen") is a five-part drama that aired on Fuji TV. It first aired in Japan from November 19, 1992 to December 17, 1992. It features a theme song by Yumi Matsutoya (Fuyu no Owari). It is one of the earliest Japanese television dramas to depict same-sex attraction between women, as part of the increased visibility of queer themes during the early 1990s 'gay boom' in Japanese media.
