With xploring's permission, the previous subber for Kita no Kuni Kara, I decided to take over the project.
I’m uploading the subs for one of the SPs first, then I’ll upload the subs for the original series later on.
(I’m providing a character summary to help you understand the SP better. Just a little trivia, Kuramoto So is
the screenwriter for this series, and he wrote another drama called Yasashii Jikan.Both dramas were
set in Furano, a city located in Hokkaido, the northernmost region of Japan. )

Review
I started with the Himitsu SP because Miyazawa Rie (from the movie, The Twilight Samurai) is simply adorable
and the story is very heart-warming, so hopefully it will get people to watch the original series. Given the original series
was set in the early '80s, I’m sure not many people would be motivated to watch, as was one of them. When I was little,
I only managed to catch a few specials which included Himitsu. But it was only after watching Jidai (the SP after Himitsu)
recently, that I got really interested in watching the original series. After 30 years, the original series is still as moving
as it was back in the day. It's a good example of a classic story that never gets old.

Character Summary For Himitsu (By chokubi)
[spoiler]Kuroita Goro (Tanaka Kunie)- The father of the Kuroita family is a man who lives by his strong values and his two sturdy hands.
After a decision to leave his wife behind in Tokyo, Goro returns to his hometown in Furano where he has since overcome countless hardships while bringing up his two children. A recent accident during the construction of his third home leaves him with a limp, but it doesn't stop him from completing it or living his austere life.
Kuroita Jun (Yoshioka Hidetaka)- As the main narrator of this series, Jun relates not only important accounts of the story but
also the challenges he faces while growing up. The circumstances surrounding his mother's separation leaves him struggling

incident and is quick to adapt to changes, while being a supportive sibling and daughter. Upon graduation from middle school,

Rei moves to Sapporo. They gradually drift apart over the years.
