I wish I could write a review on it, but the subs are machine-translations and in many places, unintelligible. I can just say that the movie made me curious, so if there are proper subs someday, I'll watch it again. I'd like to know its message. After all, these days, unlike this movie, most J-films avoid serious stuff, whatsoever.
You're prisoned in a room. This is not nice, but can be tolerable in some situations, but the real disaster is that the walls are coming toward you gradually, so your body is gonna crushed sooner or later. In other words, time is your main enemy. Then how can you enjoy this situation? How can you do anything meaningful? How can you care about others, especially those who are outside such room? Aya, her family and the Japanese culture tells you how!
HAHA your comment made me laugh.I'm almost finishing it and it is rather melodramatic, though the leads' interactions…
Haha, it was my comment from 4 years ago:) These days, I wouldn't write like this:) Fun fact: After watching this, I began to dislike Kusanagi Tsuyoshi but a I changed my mind totally a couple of days ago after watching this hidden gem: https://kisskh.at/4571-boku-to-kanojo-to-kanojo-no-ikiru-michi
Another drama of 2000s: Following your dreams, being honest to yourself, leaving your family and city, enjoying life to fullest, doing arts and so on and so forth. However I think the story telling is weak (no real character development, ...). It's difficult to like the girls, maybe except for Rei. At least, she sings well, I enjoyed it! Oh, when I checked the cast, I read about Kobayashi Mao or 'Maki'. It's so sad!
Shimatani Hitomi is damn pretty here, the kind of pretty you want for jealous, mean girl characters like here. The way she announces her break-up ('gomene', 'jane', smiling, waving her hands) is one of memorable scenes of this drama! It's funny she started her singing career as an enka singer!
You can find the drama everywhere (YT, Daily Motion. etc) hard-subbed but with low video quality. Raredoramas has it with a decent video quality but without subs. I wonder if there a way to have the best of two worlds?
How can a young boy live all by himself? 😕Even for something based on a manga, is that even plausible?
We should consider this as kind of a metaphor for kids who are alone because their parents neglect/abuse them. This kind of unreal situations is very common in J-films which goal is to help us understand characters' feelings better.
