About Sasurai no Taiyou

Here is what Sasurai no Taiyou (さすらいの太陽) is about, retold in plain terms: a drama and music anime by Mushi Production (1971). The premise: Two baby girls were born in the same hospital: one of them is the daughter of an aristocratic family while the other belongs to a depraved household which lives in the slums of the town. However, the nurse-in-charge, Michiko, secretly switches the two babies due to a personal grudge, resulting in a change of fates of the girls from then on.

Another thread: Many years later, the lives of the two girls continue to be intertwined with each other, with the rich Miki ill-treating the poor Nozomi, yet both of them hold similar dreams to become a singer.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Michiko Hirai as Miki Kouda and Junko Fujiyama as Nozomi Mine. It will appeal most to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
