Ship of Theseus

I wanted to see Kamiki's acting, but I had the impression that the story was a little painful for me, who was a junior high school student at the time. But looking back, I think it was well worth watching this work. I don't know for sure, but I had the impression that at the stage of writing the script, words were chosen that pierced each and every line deeply. It was true that I had a hard time watching this role as a fan, but I didn't feel scared because the cast had scrutinized the meaning of each line before issuing it. I personally like the camera work, room photos, dirty clothes, and half-eaten meals that make the two people look real when they ate. The lyrics of the last theme song resonate very much. It was very nice to have the theme song and feel that it was made for this work.

The atmosphere like the folds of Kamiki at the beginning was very good, so I felt the outline of the part that wasn't so clearer as I proceeded.

Jun cannot return to his former self, who had a mild personality, and soon becomes a sharp and ferocious personality, even killing people.

It's good to have a life, but I think it's a living hell if I'm no longer myself, I'm no longer in love with her, and I'm struggling when I'm out of control.
I was thinking about it all the time, remembering the theory of Ship of Theseus.

Believing makes my wish come true, people call it a miracle.

The words, "I was able to fly because I wanted to fly. Believing makes my wish come true, people call it a miracle."
When I saw this, I was surely still a high school student, an age that is said to be a child in the world.
The childhood and freshness that I felt even at that time.
I remember thinking that I liked Ryunosuke Kamiki's acting.
Now that I'm an adult, I'm sure that what I feel and what I see is different, so let's see it again.
That's why movies are wonderful. (What's the story)
And I saw it again (laughs) That's right
! !! The boy, Kamiki-kun, is precious,
Somehow it reminds me of Wes Anderson (laughs)
I'm a child, I'm free, I have a dream, and adults just got older.
"I wanted to make a movie that gives me the power to keep believing when I can't believe something." It was a movie that was
really full of power.

Heartwarming drama

The summary above makes it sounds like a horror ghost story. But it really wasn't like that at all. Although, there were some moments where it gets suspenseful, but it's not scary. But I thought that four episodes was good enough to finish the story. I did find the mystery to be interesting and they weren't predictable. I also liked the main characters and they had an intriguing history and heart warming drama. In this drama, it's not just a mystery story, but it also has themes like importance of family, taking responsibilities and reconciling with one's past. Despite the slow paced story, it was a nice drama to watch. In addition, Kamiki seems to never fail to give a great performance in his dramas.

People who are passionate about this kind of heart always move around.

It's funny, the law is brought to the place where the relationship of trust is already broken.
Some laws to protect justice also hurt someone. You wouldn't be an attorney if you weren't too busy.
It's not an Othello game.
Good and bad things and black and white are not enough.
Don't be afraid.
Sometimes you can't just say what you want to say.
At first, I was a little annoyed with Kamiki's character. He wasn't good at everything because it wasn't good and the correctness could hurt someone, and I was afraid of the danger. I choose good and bad answers, and it doesn't sound because it's the correct answer, but it's too cool.
The principal's speech does not sound even 1 micron.
Isn't it scary to die without facing it?
As I looked at it, I thought it was cool to see the straightness of the role played by Kamiki and the way he used the law for that person. People who are passionate about this kind of heart always move around.

An unique set up where the whole case is followed real time through all the episodes.

Even if I know the ending, I watched it many times. When I saw it, I was surprised at the criminal in the final episode !! It was fresh in many ways, and I also liked Naomi Zaizen's Kiriko, Takashi Naito's Shirasuna, Katsuhisa Namase, and the cast characters. Above all, I like this role the most in the drama of Ryunosuke Kamiki when he was a child actor. Moriguchi Yoko Moriguchi's unstable mother was also good because her voice and face were irresistibly cute (// ∇ //). I also liked the morbid footage of the opening and ending, and I also liked the background music.

All you need is laughter

A good balance between the interesting part and the crying part.
Since it is a drama set in an in-hospital class, I
could only imagine a sad ending , and I hesitated at a glance.
However, the story focused on each person's pattern, and I watched it with joy and grief over the human relationships such as suffering and kindness, conflicts and lies because I think of people.
The hero's red-nosed teacher, who does not read the air and has a bottomless brightness, was perfect for Yo Oizumi.
"All you need is laughter." I was warmed by the changes and growth of each.

It's something that doesn't make sense, such as people's memories ..

After all, I watched it till the end. The theme was the earthquake disaster, and there were some serious scenes, so I was a little worried that it would be difficult to watch, but it was rather like a home drama and it was easy to get in. It's not heavy, but it's solid now ...
It's still difficult to see the drama dealing with the earthquake. However, I think it's important to remember that in any way. It's something that doesn't make sense, such as people's memories ...

I think it's a drama like never before. The contents are easy to understand

Yuichiro Sakuraba is cool. The family relationships are well depicted, there are comical scenes, and there are serious parts that I enjoyed.

I was impressed by the appearance of Yuichiro facing each and every one of them so that the whole family would accept their relationship, and the family gradually accepting them. Each person's character is clear, and it is made up of an exquisite balance. Yuichiro's "on" and "off" are the exact opposite, which is very interesting. You can also see the stupid couple with Sakura for the first time. It's the best work with laughter and tears!

It was fun to watch for the first time on the rebroadcast. Yuko Takeuchi was cute, and Kamiki was still small and cute.

A memorable movie

This movie is a really memorable movie.
I'm sure it's the first movie I've seen in a proper movie theater from start to finish. My mother hit the preview of this movie,
which I think was in the second and third grades of elementary school, and I
was in a state of low- grade fever, but I wonder if I really wanted to go.
I had a great cough, but only when I was watching the movie, the cough stopped, I wasn't so interested in movies at the time, but I was very impressed with this movie.

The story is a story of a faint love between a boy and a girl who have leukemia. I like the part of the date before I die. Also, Ryoko Hirosue, who plays Tamaki who has grown up, was also good.

This is a movie you want to see again.

Life is limited

Life is limited. It was a drama that reminded me of how I should spend my time with my family and what I want to be.
A drama that restores family ties with a few lives. Ryunosuke Kamiki, who played the role of the son, was charming and relaxed, but Kiichi Nakai and Ken Ogata were wonderful. The direction and music were also very beautiful and it was a drama that kept me impressed. It's full of kindness, and I feel that my heart was washed after watching it.

After seeing all of "Wind Garden", I went on a trip to Furano in July 2018.

The wind garden is real and I was impressed with the indescribable atmosphere!

Those who go to Furano in Hokkaido, those who love flowers, are really impressed!

This story is a 2008 work, but it is a wonderful work that has touched the essence of human beings and has not faded even after many years.
Creating a garden that blends in with the nature of Hokkaido, which seems to be in harmony with it, is beautiful, ephemeral and memorable, just like the drama

"Install" is a bizarre, colorful-wacky comedy

"Install" is a bizarre, colorful-wacky comedy about the drama of life itself and oftentimes resembles a dream. Nevertheless, this movie based on Wataya Risa's novel of the same name, manages to realistically shed some light on the exceptional and sometimes alienating windings in life. The two main characters seem to be taken out of real life, especially because of their odd peculiarities, and moreover they make it very amusing for the viewer to accompany them on their search for knowledge and "enlightenment".

The story of "Install" is brought to us by Asako, who also operates as the narrator. She always tells us her thoughts and feelings, this way managing to weave a strong bond to the viewer. With her reflective and yet sometimes wacky nature Asako is quite a cutie. Nonetheless, you easily believe her that she doesn't get along with life and feels incredibly lonely in this world. Her inner emptiness and the meaninglessness of her actions may seem familiar to some of us. There surely is no one who doesn't know the feeling that there is no sense in living or rather no goal to achieve, when we somehow end up at a dead end on our journey of life.
Aya Ueto gives it her best shot as Asako and proves that beside playing the cool, and coldblooded assassin in "Azumi" she can also take on other roles. Now, she actually can be a teenager and gets to display all facets of juvenile emotions in all of its wacky forms and colors.

Moreover, there is Ryunosuke Kamiki who is giving a great performance as little Aoki. His occasionally indifferent and pretentious articulation just conceals the rather playful core of a 10 year old boy. Nevertheless, his precociousness is played very convincingly, and inevitably we have to give his words special weight, because of the way he behaves. It's him who is actually educating Asako, but doing so he also learns a lot for himself. It's fascinating to see how this little boy makes the impression to be more mature than 17-year old Asako. The friendship that builds up between them is unusual and nothing to forget so soon. Without a doubt it's the two main actors who make this movie so worthwhile.

The world of "Install" looks artificial and fairy-tale-like. Adding to this fact are not only some very beautiful sets and camera angles, for example the inside of a clock tower, but also the cinematography in general. With cheerful and bright colors, a crisp picture and a repetitive, almost unnerving tootle-like jingle soundtrack the film drags us into a world, that couldn't be more different from reality. The protagonists sometimes behave somewhat odd, too, maneuvering themselves into the most disconcerting situations. Yet, the movie never feels "wrong", since it only tries to be a representation or symbolization of life as it really is. Furthermore, even the title is a metaphor. When you don't get along with life anymore and everything seems to go wrong, you just have to make free space on your hard disk and re-install the operating system!
There is a nice scene, when Asako vacates and clears her room, since by doing so she also metaphorically restarts her life or refocuses - formating her hard disk, so to speak! Aoki is the operating system, with whose help she restarts her life / the computer. Of course, this may be over-interpretation, but the fact is that "Install" tries to convey a message, which is to have the courage to make a new beginning and restart, when everything in life doesn't seem to make any sense anymore.

In a subplot Asako also learns a lot about sex and the sexual pervertedness of some performing individuals. It's not only funny to see 10-year old Aoko teach Asako the facts of life, but his "enlightened" mind more than once is also the reason for some really good laughs. The lightheartedness with which the serious problems of life are approached while at the same time the stage for some good gags is set, is definitely one of the film's upsides. Even though the movie might have some lengths and storywise there also might not be happening that much on screen, the flick can be quite entertaining, because of its wackiness and almost comic-like nature.

"Install" is a quite, yet colorful and life-affirming drama/comedy mix, that can score with its two great lead actors and a nice message. If one would have avoided some of the many lengths, then this one could have had what it takes to be a little gem. However, for movie-lovers, who are looking for a slightly "different" movie this one is definitely recommendable!
