Surprisingly enough, these two young actors retained a natural rapport that made them totally convincing as brothers. Moreover, actors Yamamoto Yusuke and Seto Koji delivered moving performances, attacking their roles with astounding polish and circumspection, a marked contrast to the zany and irreverent roles they played in last year's Atashinchi no Danshi. Shu on the other hand, always tried to keep up, thinking the world of his brother, until their carefully constructed life started to crumble down- as the lead detective ( Nagai Masaru) in the homicide case starts to suspect them and their good for nothing dad ( Ogi Shigemitsu) resurfaces long enough to demand money from them. For ten years, they tried to keep it all together, with Kohei juggling school and a part-time job, and Shu being his family and only friend. With their mother long dead and an absentee father, the Mikami brothers had no choice but to rely on one another. The crime was unpremeditated but gradually the cracks in their relationship begin to grow. Clocking at less than 48 minutes, this drama special manages to not only show how close these two people were but also offers us an insight into how one incident changed the way they looked at each other. Rinne no Ame presents a scenario which puts the bond between these two brothers to the ultimate test, as one brother unwittingly commits a crime in defense of the other.
