After all this time I'm still struck at how amazing this movie is! I loved the movie so much I read an online fan translation of the novel by Mika and when I went to Japan I purchased the books in Japanese as there isn't an official English translation, to motivate me to learn Japanese so that I can read the the story that captivated me from minute one. The movie is truly an emotional roller coaster that will have you smile one moment, want to scream at the screen the next and finally get the grip of everything that happened to lead to that key moment when you understand the true meaning of love. I loved Haruma Miura as Hiro. He's an amazing actor and what he did in Koizora was take his acting skills to an entire different level as he embodied the soul and the energy of the character he performed. I loved the photography, the scenery so much I would have visited the filming location had it been closer to Tokyo. One day I still hope to visit it! It is my favorite Asian movie of all time and one whose story I carry deep in my heart!
