  Hold on, I need a tissue. :( I JUST finished watching this very touching movie. It was not really what I expected, and like some who saw the poster, I was iffy. I thought the white hair was a bit silly and that it would just be another typical love story/drama/tragedy. Now, either way, whether it was typical or not I probably would've cried (its just the way I am). But I was surprised at how different and touching (not to mention tear jerking) it was. Quiet, emotional, beautiful, relatable, sad, and inspirational are the words that come to mind.
  
  I didn't mind the white hair after - now that I think of it, it was probably some sort of representation of something deeper. The story was amazing, slow at first, but then picks up soon after. I'd recommend it to viewers in their late teens or 20s since (as mentioned in the synopsis) it has sexual themes and rape - which was tastefully portrayed. Its very centred around the two main characters and their love for each other.
  
  The acting was great, I have so much respect for the two and their chemistry was well established, not to mention they are both so gorgeous!
  
  The music irked me a bit, I thought the orchestra was a bit cheesy and typical for a drama. Crescendos at the typical places, excessive use of strings...it doesn't matter though - you probably won't notice it.
  
  Its a movie that can touch everyone's hearts and a character whose experiences that many can relate to, especially if you've had the privilege of having a first love. Though, I will probably recommend it to female viewers as I feel that the movie was obviously portrayed to cater to that audience (or people with feelings lol). Those who hate showing emotions - I warn you not to watch it in public. Or just lock your door. read more

  I first thought this was some kind of a silly movie since I saw Harumas hair...xD..So I found it on youtube one day and started watching it..And at first I thought well it's ok..And as the movie passed the more intrigued I was...I was so happy at first,and then the sad part came and i got teary..then again happy and when the end came i found myself with tishues all over and my face swallen because I cried so much...The story just hit me..it made a great impression..and I can honestly say this is not only the best japanese drama I watched but one of my favourite movies of all times..:)..The acting was amazing.I just love Haruma and Yui as a couple,both of them are beautiful,talented and not only as actors but also as singers.Yuis Heavenly Days id a beautiful song..I rewatched it 2 or 3 times and I plan on doing it a lot of times more..So if you like an outstanding love story Koizora is the best choice... read more
