I want to start off my post by saying a general, but very personal, thought about Japanese movies since A Song to the Sun is a Japanese movie. Japanese romance movies are very typical. Usually, the plots are consisted of sweet, cute loves between main characters, but in the end either the girl or the boy dies from a disease. In addition, the plots could be childish. However, Japanese romance movies are so addictive (for me at least). Even though I could see the ending right from the beginning, I always end up crying… Also, their sweet, cute loves are so satisfactory to watch because it makes me wonder if such loves are possible in real life.
タイヨウのうた: Midnight Sun/A Song To The Sun (Taiyo no uta) / (2006)
Director: Norihiro Koizumi
Writer: Kenji Bando
SPOILER ALERT :O
A Song to the Sun’s plot falls in the category of “typical Japanese movies”, having a typical template of love and the main character’s death. But I think this movie is different in a way because the death was not dramatic like the other movies. It showed the death slowly progressing as the love progressed.
I really enjoyed the music (sang by Yui who played Kaoru). She has a pretty singing voice, and the acoustic feel was amazing.

He is so falling in love with her. Look at his gaze!
“Will you go out with me?”
“It’s over now. I thought having a disease wouldn’t matter…
As I expected, I guess it’s too much for me to like someone…”
“I like you…”
Hehe, that was certainly a lot of screenshots…
Hope you enjoyed my review.
I just want to include one of the music from the movie: Good-bye Days by YUI.
