Both dramas deal with the female lead having to deal with their respective diseases which may or may not result in their death in the end and having to deal with the love that develops during their time of illness at the same time. Also both are tearjerkers and if you easily cry at heart-wrenching scenes in movies, then I would also recommend that you have a Kleenex box hand just in case.

The female lead in both movies have terminal illness. Although one is musical the other one is humor, both beautiful female leads played their roles beautifully.

Both about making use of what little time they've left in their life, and they discover love and dreams.

Taiyou no Uta might be a little more on the dream chasing part, it is a beautiful movie about hopes and dreams nonetheless, one of those heart warming drama as you follow the character's growth, and you discover precious things in life with them. Both lead are strong characters who works hard to fight for the time they have, to make something out of their lives.
