This is an excellent film about a beautiful love -- a moving romance between a boy who can't speak and a girl who lost her sight!
Impressive Ryosuke Yamada's melancholic eyes are ones that can speak his character's heart. It is the expression in these eyes that urged me to watch this film again and again.
The hero's love originates from kindness towards other people. Eiichi Uchida's character-driven and tightly-plotted romance shows that pure love means feeling a desire to do everything for the one you love and being ready for self-sacrifice when necessary, even though you think that your love is not returned. True love does not have the faintest idea how the gap between social classes can make it impossible. What does matter is what there is at the bottom of one's heart, which builds one's value, not one's expensive car, one's rich family, or even one's piano skill, all making up the personal, social and economic equivalence. How can Mika not love such a person as Aoi?
As for the music, not only the piano, but the harp music is pleasant and moody as well. The orchestral music is superb!
