1 Litre of Tears – A very sad and touching Japanese drama about a 15 year old Japanese girl named Aya Kito (actress Erika Sawajiri), who suffered from spinocerebellar ataxia(degenerative disease).
The drama is based on her diary in which she began to write it when her doctor diagnosed that she had this incurable disease. Frankly, I almost cried in every episodes as it showed how Aka slowly undergoes degeneration physically but she still continues to move on her life happily until she passed away at age of 25. This drama really teaches me how precious life is and that family is the one who stays beside us whenever we face troubles and in life&death situations. And I believe a person’s true nature is revealed at time of the greatest adversity. At times, I was wondering how wonderful it is if we could have even a single true friend who could walk together with us…))
It is one of my favorite dramas ever and watch it if you have time 
by the way, this song is by Remioromen titled Konayuki.

I saw this drama a while ago, two times.
I agree.
It is one of the best Japanese dramas ever made.
The songs used in the drama (Konayuki and Only Human) are both amazing, too.
Although I’m not really the type to cry (I tend to suppress that emotion), this one almost got me.
Are you interested in Japanese dramas? the culture?
Here are some 2008 Japanese dramas I highly recommend!
Last Friends (Very powerful drama), Bloody Monday (thrill), Koizora (somewhat related to 1 L of Tears, sad and emotional), and Innocent Love (Also very powerful).
