Production of Japanese medical drama Analog Nurse
Overview
TV Asahi is preparing to premiere the medical drama ‘Analog Nurse: What is Digital!?’ on October 22. Written by Miho Nakazono, the series serves as the conclusion to a medical drama trilogy that includes ‘Doctor X’ and ‘The Travel Nurse’.
Nao Matsushita stars as Akari Nasuda, a freelance nurse referred to as a ‘Jomon Nurse’ because she relies on her five senses and handwritten notes rather than digital tools. The plot centers on the tension between Nasuda’s analog methods and the rapid digital transformation of the medical field, particularly when digital systems fail.
Ai Tominaga has been cast as Kayo Manrikoji, the Digital Promotion Director at Momoi Medical Center. As a rationalist who prioritizes AI, data, and algorithms to optimize hospital operations, Manrikoji’s approach provides a direct contrast to Nasuda’s intuition-based methods, though both characters aim to protect medical care.
Additional cast members include Kenjiro Tsuda, Nanoka Hara, Yuki Inoue, Yuna Taira, Noriko Eguchi, Hideki Takahashi, Tamie Ando, Hiro Maehara, Motoki Nakazawa, Shiori Tamada, Katsutoshi Kihara, Shinji Matsumoto, Nobue Ikeya, and Michiko Shimizu. The series will feature the theme song ‘My Voice, My Life,’ a rock tune performed by singer milet and produced by Toru of ONE OK ROCK. The single is scheduled for digital release on October 22.
