An SF drama directed by Ryo Takebayashi (who gained attention for "MONDAYS: See You 'This' Week!"), depicting the struggles of a family who travels to Tokyo with their invisible daughter. The father and three daughters of the Hoshino family, living quietly on a certain island, share a slightly unusual secret: their youngest daughter, Hikari, is born invisible. After the mother, who raised the daughters cheerfully, passed away, the worrisome father, Manabu, has lived keeping the three sisters hidden from prying eyes. One day, news arrives that their grandmother, the great actress Eriko Sunagawa, who lives in Tokyo, has been hospitalized. The family heads to Tokyo without being able to tell Eriko that Hikari is invisible, but various dangers and difficulties await them along the way. Katsuya Maiguma (from "Shokyu Enshu Lesson" and "Ken to Kazu") stars as the father Manabu, with Hana Kondo as the eldest daughter Fuko, Hana Yayama as the second daughter Nene, Rinko Suzuki as the invisible third daughter Hikari, Kimiko Yo as grandmother Eriko Sunagawa, and Susumu Terajima as taxi driver Seiichi Kurata. Saeri Natsuo, screenwriter of the animated film "Super Kaguyahime," co-planned and co-wrote the script with director Takebayashi.
