TAKAHIRO MIKI MASTERPIECE

HAVE A SONG ON YOUR LIPS (2015) An embittered piano player (Yui Aragaki) with a tragic backstory returns to her hometown to take over the school choir club where she connects with one of her students (Yuri Tsunematsu) who shares a similar fate... Fell in love with this one last year and was happy to revisit it. The titular song by Angela Aki about a troubled 15 year old teenager writing a letter to his or her 30 year old future self has also become my favorite one and here it's so well integrated into the story which presents two characters mirroring the one of that song.So, this is first and foremost a drama and only becomes part of the Japanese team effort genre in its final act. There we are rewarded with two magic moments which really showcases the big heart of the movie.I love the characters. I love the cast. I love the cinematography. I love how the movie is perfectly paced. I love the scenery of Goto. I love the music. I love the movie's message.HAVE A SONG ON YOUR LIPS sums up everything which made me fall in love with Japanese cinema. I always have some praise on my lips for it.Review written by artist jayakumar jrain.

Reviews talk about almond eyed hotties

I must have missed the sexy parts!?Please be warned you will be disappointed if you are looking for a sex scene or nudity... There is as much sex and as many naked girls in this film as there is quality items on the shelves at Wal-mart.What we do have here is high school students competing for a choral performance, an autistic boy and a girl abandoned by her father.And it is good.As for the slit eyed hotties? Well, it is called Love Exposure.
