I finally watched "Your lie in April" (live action version from 2016) this weekend

...and I really liked the movie. I know there is an anime version of it too, which I haven't watched yet but will do as soon as I can. And somehow I am kind of glad I haven't watched the anime yet so I could watch this movie without any expectations or knowing the plot before diving in.

I really liked the actors in this movie, I think all of them make a great fit for their characters and I specially loved Suzu Hirose's work here, I liked her kind of "crazy" girl role here who doesn't follow rules and even more so as the story developes making her behaviour make a lot of sense by the end of the movie.

I guess most people here probably know this movie already, or at least the anime, and I don't know why I have had it sitting for so long in my backlog but I'm really glad I finally gave it a chance even when it made me share some tears. And it having music as a central part of the plot is also a big plus for me. I can only recommend it if you haven't watched it yet.

it's been a while since this video was posted here (12 years ago) so I feel like it's a good time to share this great song here again

...and I loved it. This movie made me share a couple of tears for reasons I wasn't expecting when I started it. It's like a very special and out of the ordinary movie but at the same time one that represents our struggles as ordinary people so well... Sumida ganbare!!
