It's about a 14-year-old girl "Aya Kito" who had a spinocerebellar atrophy which made her lose her body's balance gradually and progressively until she couldn't walk. ☙ And here is a link to watch the series. I really recommend watching this before reading this diary. It was heart touching, it made me cry many times! There is a Japanese series about Aya that I loved so much. Through family, medical examinations and rehabilitations, and finally succumbing to the disease, Aya must cope with the disease and live on with life until her death at the age of 25. As she notes in one entry, "I write because writing is evidence that I am still alive." As the disease progressed, however, the diary became Kitō's outlet for describing the intense personal struggles she underwent in coping, adapting, and ultimately trying to survive her disease. Initially, the diary's purpose was for Kitō to chronicle impressions she had about how the disease was affecting her daily life. So in the end she cannot eat, walk or talk.Īya keeps a diary of not only what she does but how she feels and the hardships she must endure. The disease causes the person to lose control over their body, but because the person can retain all mental ability the disease acts as a prison. This diary written by Aya Kitō (JMay 23, 1988) was published shortly before her death.Īya Kitō was diagnosed with a disease called spinocerebellar degeneration when she was 15 years old.
