タイヨウのうた ﹣Ｍidnight Sun / A Song to the Sun (PG)

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Drama

A girl who can only live at night and a high school student who loves to surf as the sun rises...
The two had nothing in common...

Ａ typical Japanese drama, starring the young & talented singer/writer/composer YUI.

One way to look at this movie - It's like a role written just for YUI; in her very own music drama. Her charming confidence & alluring charisma when she sings, along with all her songs are enough to sell~ which made the rest of the cast doing only supporting roles. Ａ great debut for this singer, even though she maybe just being herself in it *unlike another f'ugly Taiwanese singer who made his frak'up debut in a manga adaptation & won a rigged award for best new comer~*.

Another way - To use a popular teen idol YUI to address the young people known as “The Strawberry Generation”-- good-looking on the outside but easily crushed under pressure. YUI played Amane Kaoru (雨音薫) a 16 yr old girl sufferin' from Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). Knowing her own limitations, she has to courage up & go all way out (eg. getting to know the guy 藤代孝治 (冢本高史) she's been watchin' from her window), inorder to get what she wanted before it's too late. A gal who knew that her days are numbered will not take life or people around her for granted. She'll cherish even the littlest things in life; unlike many youngsters who went through life without living it...or something worst...like throwing their lives away while others long to live it just a little bit longer.

Just as her dad 雨音谦 (岸谷五朗) mentioned in the show, "Why must this happened to our daughter who has been nothing but good; why not happen to some annoying brats."
