Description:

Set in the aftermath of the Hiroshima atomic bomb on August 9, 1945, the inspiring historical drama Ichiban Densha ga Hashitta SP tells a remarkable story of resilience. Just three days after the devastating blast, the local electric tram company miraculously resumes streetcar service. Leading this recovery is Matsuura Akitaka, played by Abe Hiroshi, the electrical section head tasked with restoring key routes within a month. Driving these trams are brave teenage girls from the company’s school, who stepped in for men away at war. Among them is 16-year-old Amada Toyoko, portrayed by Kuroshima Yuina. Despite surviving the blast with injuries, Toyoko bravely returns to the driver's seat. As the streetcar travels through the ruined city, carrying passengers searching for loved ones, it becomes a powerful symbol of survival.
