It is summer 10 years ago. Kaoru transfers to a new school and has a fateful encounter with the school's terrifying bad-boy Sentaro. They bond over jazz and Kaoru finds that he's oddly drawn to the rough-mannered Sentaro. After jamming on the piano and drums and spending time with Sentaro's childhood friend Ritsuko, Kaoru falls for Ritsuko but finds out she likes Sentaro. (Source: JFDB) Edit Translation

A beautiful story of friendship mixed with jazz music made me cry to bits. This is one of my favorite things. The sweetness of friendship, especially the bromance is mixed perfectly. The sound of the drums and piano engraved in my mind up until now.

The cinematography is tranquil and the beauty of the sound of jazz is so intriguing. Casts are really amazing. I felt like one of the characters in the movie as I watched this. I really liked Taishi Nakagawa's acting here. It was outstanding.

Please do watch this! It's really worth the time.

Kind of regret that I didn't write a review right after I finished watching this.
This movie is very beautiful. The characters are adorable and I can really feel the bond between each of them. The storyline is so natural which is quite uncommon for Japanese movie, it influences the pace as well. Every scene is presented with a cause and that's why I really enjoy watching it.

Now about the cinematography, they bring back the mood board of 2010-ish Japanese dramas & film, like Hana Kimi (Hanazakari no Kimitachi e). I really love the angle that they choose and the way they shoot everything. The music is no joke! I love all the songs they play or sing in the movie.

After all, the best thing about this movie is about friendship. If you forget why you ever become so close with your friends, you might want to watch this. You'll probably remember by watching simple reasons why the characters continually care about one another.
