Dasada (stylized in all-caps) is a Japanese television series starring members of the idol group Hinatazaka46. The show aired on Nippon TV at 1:00 AM to 1:30 AM on Thursdays, and is available on Hulu Japan after it finished airing.[3] The opening and closing themes are both included on Hinatazaka46's single, "Sonna Koto Nai yo". The series is the second television drama series starring Hinatazaka46, after Re:Mind.[4]
High school student Yuria Sada finds out that her parents are at risk of losing their dressmaking shop to debt collectors unless they can repay their 10 million yen debt within six months. Teaming up with fellow classmate and aspiring fashion designer Saori Shinohara, Yuria launches a clothing brand named "Dasada" to repay the debt.
All active members of Hinatazaka46 make an appearance in the series (Yūka Kageyama and Hiyori Hamagishi were on hiatus during production and did not appear). Major roles include:
Former AKB48 member Yūka Tano also appears as a volleyball club member.
The fashion brand Dasada was launched in real life and modeled by Hinatazaka46 members at the 30th Tokyo Girls Collection fashion show, held on 29 February 2020 at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fashion show was held via livestreaming only.[6][7]
A re-run of the series with audio commentary by the cast, titled Dasada: Mirai e no Countdown (DASADA〜未来へのカウントダウン〜, lit. 'Dasada: Countdown to the Future'), was aired from July 2 to September 10.[8]
