Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a 2005 Japanese television drama series broadcast by Fuji TV. The story based on the story of Aya Kitō, who suffered from a degenerative disease and died at the age of 25. Directed by Riki Okamura, it stars Erika Sawajiri, Ryō Nishikido, Hiroko Yakushimaru and Takanori Jinnai.
The script is based on Aya's diary that she kept writing in until she could no longer hold a pen. The diary was later titled One Litre of Tears and sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan.
Plot
Fifteen-year-old Aya Ikeuchi is an ordinary girl, soon to be high school student and the eldest daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop. As time passes, unusual things start happening to Aya. She begins falling down often and walking strangely. Concerned about her health, Aya's mother Shioka takes her to a doctor; he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration, a rare disease where the cerebellum gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. As cruel as the disease is, it does not affect the mind.
Episodes
Special episode
On April 5, 2007, Fuji Television aired a three-hour special of the series set half a year (2014–2015) after Aya's death, and focuses on Haruto Asō, who has now become a doctor at the same hospital Aya was treated in, and Ako Ikeuchi, Aya's younger sister who is now a nurse in training, while Rika, Aya's youngest sister, has just started high school. Haruto is caring for a 14-year-old female patient, Mizuki, who was bullied in school because of her spinocerebellar degeneration, and rejects therapy due to having lost her will to live. Haruto remembers how Aya fought her illness and lived her life with her disease, and is thus motivated to support Mizuki reappears in the episode using a number of flashbacks from the series and in new scenes.[1]

Alternate versions
Indonesian Production House SinemArt's[2] drama, titled Buku Harian Nayla[3] (Nayla's Diary), supposedly plagiarizes 1 Litre of Tears. The series bears some striking resemblances, such as the protagonists' names. The series aired on RCTI as a special Christmas series. Comparisons between the two series have been drawn by the show's audience.[4] The scenario was written by Serena Luna, aka Chevyra Edenia. Indonesian fans of 1 Litre no Namida have reported this admitted act of plagiarism to Fuji TV and Indonesian mass media, but there has yet to be a response from Buku Harian Nayla's creators. RCTI failed to credit or acknowledge Fuji TV and 1 Litre of Tears, from which the story is presumed to have been adapted, and noted that "This story is fictitious: the similarities of names, characters, places, and times are purely coincidental."Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Amrita TV is to dub 1 Litre no Namida, and the Chinese drama Tears of Happiness is based on this drama.
A Turkish remake of this drama, titled Bir Litre Gözyaşı, aired on Kanal D in 2018.
