This is a love movie that makes people feel breathless and choked, both happy and sad. In the 1980s when the tape recorder was invented, the story is set on the campus of Kagoshima. Sakutaro and Aki fell in love, but Aki Sickness tormented and died.
It is narrated in a forward flashback mode. The film was released in 2004. The original novel was adapted. The flashback plot is full of Japan in the 1980s.
Aki likes to go to the place where Sakutaro passes by alone, sit on the stone steps and wait for him to pass by. The reason is just to chat with him. When Aki finds out that he is ill, he doesn't want to be forgotten, and asks the wedding photos taken by Shige. Sakutaro's nervous expression on the camera, etc.,
In the era of no mobile phone, the era when you could rely on the radio to pass the day, and the era when you pressed the record button on tapes to record memories. At the age of 16, the love between Sakutaro and Aki was too pure.
Aki passed away quietly. Years later, Sakutaro brought Aki's ashes to Urulu and scatters the ashes to the ground. I believe that Sakutaro is reborn for the second time, and Aki will be buried in his relieved heart.
There is a plot in the movie. There is a red continent in Australia called Urulu. The local aboriginal people believe that it is the center of the world. After death, people have to be buried twice, once with the body, and the second time with ashes, and then the soul of the person will be transformed into an elves Carefree living in another world.
In the end, the whole movie soundtrack is amazing, and the ending song of the movie is "Hirai Ken" at the end (close your eyes lightly).
