What happens

Heaven's Coin (星の金貨 ―Die Sterntaler―, Hoshi no Kinka; lit. "Stars' Coins") is a 1995 Japanese television drama series. The series revolves around Aya Kuramoto (倉本 彩, Kuramoto Aya), a deaf and mute girl from Hokkaido who is in love with a doctor named Shūichi Nagai (永井 秀一, Nagai Shūichi). After Shūichi leaves for Tokyo, he has an accident and loses his memory. Aya travels to Tokyo and encounters Takumi Nagai (永井 拓巳, Nagai Takumi), Shūichi's brother. The sequel series, Heaven's Coin: Part 2 (続・星の金貨, Zoku Hoshi no Kinka), aired in 1996, continues where the previous series left off. The third series, Heaven's Coin: Part 3 (新・星の金貨, Shin Hoshi no Kinka), which ran for 11 episodes in 2001, uses a new set of characters, starring Mari Hoshino as the deaf heroine. The opening theme for the original season is "Aoi Usagi" by Noriko Sakai. The opening theme for Heaven's Coin: Part 2 is "Kagami no Dress", also by Sakai. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
