A realistic drama on Japanese TV that takes HIV and teenage girls who have sex to make money to a new perspective. Known as the drama that launched the career of Fukada Kyoko and the drama that jumpstarted Kaneshiro Takeshi's Japanese career, "Kamisama, mou sukoshi dake" is a very good drama.

Fukada Kyoko plays a Tokyo high school girl. A girl who is in love with a music producer portrayed by Takeshi Kaneshiro. She wanted so much to watch his concert but she has no money. So, she does the next stupid thing that many Japanese teenage girls do to get a lot of money...prositution.

Well, things change her life after someone sticks a syringe into our darling high school girl and this starts the events that will change her life. She is now HIV-positive. She eventually meets and sleeps with her music idol but the tragic tale of this young woman focuses more on her life as she tries to live life in a new perspective after being HIV positive. Kaneshiro's character on the other hand is interested in the high schooler.

Some may enjoy the series tremendously but many might see it as a dark drama and might not want to see something that can happen in real life. Well, this drama is one hell of a good drama and you have to watch it.

REVIEWS:

This drama was selected by a few magazines as best drama of 1998 but GTO got the most nods for best drama.  Well, it's a deep drama is all I can say.  I highly recommend seeing it but it's very sad!
