Thank you for your hard work over the past 18 years. Tomohisa Yamashita updated his Instagram in mid-September. He thanked his teammates for their hard work with a helicopter. It was the aircraft used in the medical drama series “Code Blue: Doctor Helicopter Emergency Rescue” broadcast on Fuji TV. The drama depicts the struggles and conflicts of young trainee flight doctors, including Kosaku Aizawa (played by Yamashita-san), who are involved in emergency medical services . The first season started in 2008, followed by the second season in 2010, and the third season in 2017. The drama definitely raised awareness of doctor helicopters,” said a writer for a TV magazine. The drama realistically depicted medical treatment, disasters, and accidents, and was well supported by actual medical professionals. The drama has led to an increase in the number of people aspiring to become paramedics. The five main cast members, including Ms. Yamashita, Ms. Yui Aragaki, Ms. Erika Toda, Ms. Aimi Higa, and Mr. Yosuke Asari, held a surprise talk show. I participated in the talk show because I had a special feeling for this drama. The conference was organized by Nippon Medical School Chiba Hokusou Hospital, which served as the medical supervisor for the drama and was also the filming location. Since the five of them had witnessed such real-life situations together, they wanted to give something back to the medical profession.
The five are comrades-in-arms and a family.
The five of them gathered together again at the time Yamashita posted the helicopter on his Instagram at the beginning of this article. It was to witness the end of “another comrade-in-arms. The aircraft used for the shoot is retiring. Yamashita-san, Niigaki-san, Toda-san, Higa-san, and Asari-san rushed to “Chiba Hokuso Hospital” as a surprise with a bouquet of blue flowers to witness the final flight. Mr. Yamashita has always told people around him that the five of them are his comrades-in-arms and family. The helicopter is also a friend and family. I think he wanted to say “thank you” in person. The members other than Mr. Yamashita also posted their gratitude on SNS.” It is possible that the sequel will be filmed …… in the new helicopter!
