[edit]Synopsis

Kaoru dreamily gazes from her bedroom window each morning just before dawn. She can see a stretch of the beach in front of her parent's house on a hill in Kamakura, but focuses upon the activity at the bus stop where Koji and his two best friends meet before going surfing. The appearance of the sun causes her to lowers the blinds and go to sleep for she suffers from Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) and exposure to the sun's rays has had the potential to kill her. At night she walks to the train station, plays her guitar and sings songs she has written, commonly returning home just a few minutes before it starts getting light. One morning she is at the bus stop singing when Koji arrives... [Imdb]

    I watched this movie when I was doing a tear jerker movie marathon (which also included Tada, kimi wo aishiteru). Let's just say it did its job. It's a great story which inspires you to live your life to the fullest. Also very touching and sweet. The characters were authentic and the music was touching.

    I wish I could complain about this movie. Ok wait, i don't. This movie was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!



    Story: 10/10 The story is one that will motivate you while tears stream down your eyes. It has themes of "High School" romance mixed in with following your dreams to the very end.



    Cast/Acting 10/10 I couldn't ask for a better cast. They truly did a flawless job.



    Music: 10/10 I still listen to the theme song by Yui (who also acted in this movie) two weeks after I watched the movie. The only "downside" about this movie is that you get addicted to the wonderful music by Yui.



    Rewatch Value: 9/10 This is such a beautiful
