Brand New & Unopened ★ Autumn Story of 7 Men and Women DVD-BOX From Ryosuke (Sanma Akashiya) and Momoko (Shinobu Otake) got together in the final episode of "Summer Story of 7 Men and Women," but Ryosuke is shocked to learn that Momoko, who was supposed to be covering Michael Jackson's U.S. tour, has actually returned to Japan and is living with another man (Toshiro Yanagiba). While "Summer Story" was a story from summer to autumn, this "Autumn Story" is set in the season from autumn to winter. The exquisite interactions between Sanma Akashiya and Shinobu Otake, which were popular in the previous work, are also followed, but in this work, they express deep emotions such as loneliness, adult circumstances, and frustration, emphasizing the serious side of this drama that matches the season. Only Tsurutaro Kataoka as Teikuro continues from "Summer Story," but Masashi Yamashita, who plays a pure-hearted man from a sports club, and Yumiko Okayasu, who plays a coquettish woman, have a refreshing dating scene like elementary school romance, which is fun and gives a light rhythm to this drama, which tends to be gloomy.
