Sing “Yesterday” For Me was one of our chart’s top shows during the Spring 2020 season, and arguably one of the drama’s most memorable aspects is the energetic character Haru Nonaka.
While I wish that Haru had received more focus and development, and felt that her ending wasn’t well-earned at all, she was still an enjoyable presence. So, here’s a compilation of all her precious smiles* in the show.
*Only close-up and medium close-up shots, and only the shots where Haru’s face is the only one in focus (her pet crow Kansuke doesn’t count).
