Synopsis: As her name suggests, 30-year-old Nakamachi Asuka (Honda Tsubasa) constantly shines brightly. She fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a teacher. But something caused a setback and turned her into a social recluse. After three years spent bunking in at her older sister’s house and being out of work, Asuka is suddenly thrust into the role of a live-in dormitory matron to a handsome seven-member boy group who want to become top artistes. This also leads to an unexpected reunion with a former student Sagami Dan whose dream she had supported. Asuka is busy cooking, cleaning and doing the laundry for them every day. Dan soon declares that he will take her to a world she has never seen. Asuka’s heart skips a beat each time he shines on stage. As she watches Dan strive for his dream as the group’s leader, this rekindles the passion she had at the time she was a teacher and she begins confronting her own setback.
