What happens

Ohisama (おひさま) is a Japanese television drama that aired on NHK in 2011 in the Asadora time slot. Originally it was planned to air from March 28, 2011 (same as 2005's Asadora series Fight) to September 24, 2011, but it was delayed due to the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan. It later aired from April 4, 2011 to October 1, 2011, same as 1988's Non-chan no Yume (ノンちゃんの夢) and 1994's Piano (ぴあの). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
