- Soap operas reflect life, just bigger.
20 years ago, when I am in deep love with my girlfriend who is now my wife, she sent me a set of CDs as my birthday gift, that is the series of 東京ラブストーリー.
I have to say at that time, I just focused on the love story itself. I wondered why the two protagonists 永尾完治（ながおかんじ）and 赤名リカ（あかなぃか） can't be together finally.
20 years later, when I met this series again, I am still distracted by it from study and work and shed tears for it. but this time, I think that I have a deeper understanding of this series: It is not just only about a love story of young people, but also a series that reflects people's inner beauty. It can help one to find the beauty of life.
but the beauty can continue to be alive, forever. the beautiful smile that has attracted me before will never be forgotten, and the words 'かんじ 頑張れ' can still bring one unlimited strength.
everyone will be older than before and everything will be gone with the wind, this is the natural law.
when I found 保奈美鈴木 in another soap opera named 家族ゲーム（family game）, I can hardly recognize her and could not help feeling like this.
thanks to 織田裕二（おだゆうじ）and 鈴木保奈美（ほなみすずき）for bringing us so beautiful series.
one time, when I accidentally found a short section of the video on Bilibili，and it brought me the same feeling though it is translated into Chinese. I have thought I could not be moved by it again, but it is proved that it's in vain!
the 2020 version of 東京ラブストーリー has come. can it still bring you tears and thoughts? it depends on you.
