Our society is full of inequalities and high school is when you start to understand it very well: Girl A is prettier than you, guy B is better at sports, maybe because he inherited the right genes,, C's family provides him/her with all kinds of things you can only dream, D is smarter and will go to best colleges soon, ...
Or maybe you're that A, B, C, D, ... but in any case, at that age, we feel all the differences very well, in one way or another.

The well-made movie, 'Around the Edge of the Stand' has a simple message: All these differences don't matter much if you follow your caring adults' wise words & just positively keep trying (Ganbare!) without showing jealousy or any negative feelings. You'll find happiness, sooner or later.

Now if you like the movie's message, just as a challenge, I'd recommend 'All about Lily Chou Chou', a movie with the opposite message, such that if we consider the former a piece of propaganda, 'All about Lily Chou Chou' will be counterpropaganda!

And this was my coolest movie recommendation, maybe the coolest movie recommendation of all time:)

Both depict Japan maybe in its worst times ever. Painful to watch, but maybe it's good to know better how after the terrible time, the nation redeemed itself through decades of hard work and responsibility.

Another great movie about friendship, girls' music band and girl power!
Last not least, in both some works from Blue Hearts are performed

They have similar stories: Two little kids are kidnapped, and then raised by two unrelated women. Both women do a great job, so the kids love and see them as their mothers. Now, what are these unwanted mothers? And what to do with all the love they gave and received from the kids?
