"Kirishima, he will quit his club."

I recently saw this movie in JapaneseThis movie was available in 2012. It is a masterpiece of Japan Academy Award. It took best director, editing Award, Screenplay Award and an actor, Ms. Ai Hashimoto took the award too. It has a monopoly on the prize in the end and it has spread the reputation by word-of-mouth communication.

Kirishima is a very popular man in the high school. He is the center and a hero of the school. He can do everything. But Kirishima quit his club suddenly and he does not show up at the school. People lost the hero and this movie draws a panic in their life without the hero.

Hiroki is a friend of Kirishima. He is similar to Kirishima. He is also an all-rounder.  He is smart, can study, good for all kind of sports and popular among girls. After Kirishima had left the club, Hiroki lost his goal.

There is another person, Maeda (a boy in the picture). He loves movies. Maeda is taking the movie in the movie club at the school. He wants to take a zombie movie. His teacher said do not take the kind of movie at the school. But he takes it anyway. He is a kind of an Otaku boy. So he is not a friend of Kirishima and Hiroki. But Maeda will be involved in Kirishima's matter.

This movie is drawn from a first-person perspective. Like this time is Hiroki's view and the other time is Maeda's view and also some girls's view. They don't know what the others are thinking each other but you can know each person's thinking at the time and you can understand each person's feeling at the time. 

This movie is using a pretty amazing shooting technique. It got to take the same scene with multiple cameras in short, It is very complex. And the theme song by Yu Takahashi "The Sun Also Rises " is just cool. He is skinny guy but his voice is very powerful. I like it.
I want you to take a look this movie. However it is still in Japanese. I hope English version is released in the near future. You can see the trailer and listen the theme song on Youtube!



Thank you so much.
