You watch a girl sing her way out of the slums while the one born into money drowns in it. The switched-at-birth cruelty hits different when it's about talent that no amount of aristocratic blood can buy. Sasurai no Taiyou knows that some people are built to rise, and some are built to fall, regardless of where they start, and it refuses to let you look away from either one.
A cruel twist of fate binds two girls at birth: a nurse named Michiko, acting on a personal grudge, secretly switches two newborns, one from an aristocratic family and one from a depraved household in the city slums. Years pass, and the two lives remain tangled together. Wealthy Miki mistreats poor Nozomi, yet both girls share the same dream of becoming a singer. The 1971 TV series pairs drama with music across 26 episodes.
