Your Lie in April, known in Japan as Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (???????, lit. April is Your Lie) or just simply Kimiuso, is a Japanese manga and anime and movie.

K?sei is a former child prodigy in playing piano, dubbed the "Human Metronome" for his near-inhuman mechanical accuracy, a product of his mother's overly strict methods of teaching. His ability to play the piano with unparalleled precision led him to win many competitions across Japan and even be invited to play abroad. When his mother died, the resulting psychological trauma caused him to be unable to hear the sound of his piano playing, and he gave up on it. Two years later, he takes up the piano again after being convinced by Kaori Miyazono to become her accompanist. Influenced by her emotional and unrestrained playing style, K?sei eventually finds himself falling in love with her. He, however, does not confess his feelings due to him thinking she liking his best friend, Ryota Watari.

I PERSONALLY LIKED it very much because the actors were able to convey there feelings very well kento yamazaki who i personally love and adore the way he act and shows he's charisma i have watched his movies l dk. herione shakkaku, orange, and wolf girl and black prince and am planing ti watch his next live action move the disastrous life of saiki k.

ok lets get back on topic the really wasn't anything i hated about the drama hirose suzu was able to play her character very well and was able to show how sweet and braze she was in the outside but was scared and afriand in the inside

THANKS FOR READING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a good watch! ^^ It wasn't very new but it was good :) I know it's going to be a sad story so it took me time to be ready to watch it. Lol. I haven't watched the anime but the movie didn't make me cry. Still, there were a few scenes that made me sad and empathic. And, there's this one where I nearly cried because it made me feel the frustration and desperation.

If you're worried it will leave you with a heavy heart, you shouldn't. It's that bittersweet movie that won't leave you broken.

What I liked the most were those moments they made the music communicate. "Will it reach you?" I loved this line. Every time it was delivered, I just felt it.

I'm no expert on music nor can I play instruments, but since watching TwoSetViolin on you youtube (not a long time subscriber but they're classical musicians who also react on drama/movie which involves violin.. explaining things like how it's so fake.. lol they're hilarious and savage), it made me also focus on whether the characters will make me believe they're playing the instruments. Afterall, music is one of this movie's main ingredients. You can't leave that out. I was looking at their hand movements, the bow strikes... while listening to the music (again I'm not expert). I gotta say it was believable to me.

I believe they at least had some months of training (I couldn't search but I checked in the comments and they said they did) before making the movie which I appreciate just thinking they made an effort.

Lastly, I quite liked the cinematography ^^

On a side note, the supporting characters didn't feel like they mattered though. I mean they were supporting characters but it felt like they were just passersby.
