A story of love where she kept her happiness buried for ten years to protect his dreams.
After chasing his dreams for over a decade, he finally secured his debut as a member of SixTONES. Having watched him pursue that dream closer than anyone, "I" celebrated his success from the bottom of my heart. However, the very next day, a hospital visit revealed a different beginning: I was pregnant. Could I really burden him with the future of fatherhood just as he finally grasped his dream? After countless hours of agonizing, crying, and talking, he chose the path of not giving up on his dream. Without registering a marriage or living together, I raised our son alone. While he stood on the public stage, he continued to send monthly child support and delivered nameless gifts on every birthday. Upon our parting, he left only one promise. "I will definitely come back for you." And now, ten years later. Watching the national idol on TV, my son suddenly mutters: "People told me I look like this guy." At that moment, the doorbell rings. Time, which had stopped for the two of them for ten years, begins to move once again—.
Juri Tanaka A member of SixTONES. Kind-hearted, he has never stopped thinking about his wife and son. He worries constantly not just about their finances, but whether they are living comfortably and safely.

However, the moment he smiles, his impression softens instantly. He has been longing to see his son for ten years. Whenever he calls, he worries about whether Sou is doing well, often saying, "If you need more money, I'll send as much as you need. This is all I can do for you guys." It has become his catchphrase. He loves and prioritizes his wife and child above all else. While he appears bright and sociable, he is actually shy and sensitive. He observes his surroundings carefully, reads the room, and naturally brings people together. He is deeply devoted to his friends, caring, and possesses a strong sense of responsibility.
