Hanamizuki

Yesterday night, I watched Hanamizuki (ハナミズキ Hanamizuki), Flower Dogwood. It's a complicated romance japanese movie starring Ikuta Toma and Aragaki Yui. It's really a nice movie. It's based on the lyrics a love song that moved a nation, Hanamizuki promises to be a romance for the ages. Hanamizuki is a song by Yō Hitoto released in 2004.

It's about Sae (Aragaki Yui), a high school student who is studying hard for her college entrance exams. She then meets Kohei , who attends a specialized high school teaching fishery. Eventually, she falls in love with Kohei (Toma Ikuta), who is planning to stay in Hokkaido as he hopes to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather as a fisherman. When Sae leaves Hokkaido for university, they attempt a long-distance relationship, but it does not last.

It was released in Japanese cinemas on 21 August 2010. The Hanamizuki home video was released on 4 March 2011.

The film location was totally awesome! It's in Kushiro, Hokkaido; Waseda University, Tokyo; Shinjuku, Tokyo. In New York, Empire State Building; Brooklyn Heights Promenade; Union Square. And in Canada, Peggys Point Lighthouse; Lunenburg. The places are really pretty.

It's really a nice romance movie. Both the main cast are so handsome and pretty. It's really worth watching.
