"Nice Control!"

Nice Flight! is a Japanese television drama that aired 11:15pm to 12:15am from 22 July to 9 September 2022 in the "Friday night drama" slot on TV Asahi.[1] It starred Yuta Tamamori.[2]

With the full cooperation of Japan Airlines (JAL),[3] the film depicts the reality of aircraft pilots, mechanics and other airport workers. The film was shot using JAL's own equipment, with acting instruction provided by a current pilot, at JAL facilities at Haneda Airport and other locations.[4] For the air traffic controllers, the staff actually interviewed Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and wrote the script.[5]

Background

[edit]

Due to the spread of COVID-19 from 2020, the Japanese government issued "declaration of a state of emergency" to its citizens four times.[6] This restricted the people from going out and traveling freely, and the economy, especially the airline industry, was severely impacted.[7] Restrictions were gradually eased as the outbreak subsided, however, the "semi-state of emergency COVID-19 measures" were in effect until March 2022.[8] and even in July 2022, when the drama began airing, it could not be said that free travel and outings had yet resumed. The drama was produced to boost the aviation industry, which had been depressed by COVID-19. [9]

The drama received the "13th Location Japan Special Award" for its contribution to the recovery of the aviation industry, which had been depressed by COVID-19.[10] At that award ceremony, Tadaaki Horai, director of the drama, said, "I created this drama to deliver the message of believing in a brighter future through a drama set in the sky because of the period of time when we could not fly freely in the sky due to COVID-19".[10] Japan Airlines Vice President Shinichiro Shimizu said, "We must get out of the depression. Thanks to this drama, people involved in aviation and airports have been cheered up. I hope the drama made viewers want to travel again." He said.[10]

Promotion

[edit]

In conjunction with the broadcast of the drama, Japan Airlines conducted promotional activities. In addition to an interview with Yuta Tamamori,[11] who plays the lead role, a dialogue with a current aircraft pilot in command was featured,[12] and a dance video of the cast performing "Two as One" was aired on Japan Airlines's official YouTube site and TikTok.[13][14] Four commercials featuring Yuta Tamamori as an aircraft pilot calling for Japan Airlines travel were also aired.[15]

Synopsis

[edit]

Sui Kurata (Yuta Tamamori) is a young aircraft pilot who has been promoted to co-pilot after a rigorous training period. He has a kind and caring personality that cannot leave anyone in trouble. For some reason, he gets into trouble when he flies with others, which has earned him the nickname 'The lucky co-pilot (sarcastically) '.[16] One day, during a flight, Sui and Pilot in command Kitami were forced to deal with bad weather, but thanks to the calm and smart guidance of a female air traffic controller, they succeeded in landing safely at Haneda Airport. Sui falls in love with the voice of the woman and wants to meet the owner of the voice.[17] On the other hand, the owner of the voice, Mayu Shibuya (Anne Nakamura), a female air traffic controller at Haneda Airport, is a calm and excellent air traffic controller, but in her private life she is not like a woman at all, and is unsociable and clumsy. While both give their all to their work, the two adults meet and fall in love with each other.[18]
