Re:Mind is a Japanese psychological thriller television series, which was released on Netflix on October 13, 2017, and also broadcast on TV Tokyo starting October 19. The series was produced by Akira Uchikata, Yusuke Ishida, and Yusuke Koroyasu, and features cast members from the Japanese idol girl group Hiragana Keyakizaka46 (now Hinatazaka46).

Plot

After awaking in an old European-style room, eleven high school classmates find themselves sitting at a large dining room table, with their feet shackled to the floor. They find that their situation could be related to another classmate named Miho who had disappeared months before. As they try to figure out how to escape, some of the girls start disappearing from the table one by one. The girls realize they each share a checkered past with Miho, but also suspect one of them could be behind the trap.

Cast

The main characters are played by the first generation members (except Miho Watanabe) of the Japanese idol group Hiragana Keyakizaka46. They go by their real given names:[1] [2] [3] [4]

portrayed their former teacher, Mr. Hayashi.

Production

Re:Mind is produced by Tokyo TV and Netflix.[5]

Neru Nagahama was originally planned to appear, but she left Hiragana Keyakizaka46 in September 2017.[6] An audition was held among the second generation members, who recently joined the group in August, and Miho Watanabe was selected to replace Nagahama in her role.[7] The last episode, titled "Re:Wind", is a special flashback episode depicting the main characters' relationships before the events of the main story; Nao Kosaka portrayed the main character of the episode, while the rest of the second generation members appeared as background characters, all named after themselves.[8]
