this movie is one of my tops... honestly took me a while to appreciate (mostly cuz everytime i watched it, i was dead tired), but i really do love the story. it's a totally different perspective of passion v. reality as compared to the PIKANCHI movies.

OOHHHH i need clarification, please please please to anybody who's familiar w/ Japanese dialects...

was MatsuJun's character (Yuji) speaking... Sendai-ben? his accent was kind of hard to follow... when he greeted the other 4 with "obandegasu" (when they were going to the bathhouse) and i had a hunch that that was a unique greeting. i never watched the "behind the scenes" interviews, so i have no idea. anyone? anyone?

I saw this movie last weekend. It's one of those bittersweet stories. Lotsa laughs (MatsuJun's character is such a dork), but at the heart of the movie is the struggle to make your dreams come true, and knowing when to move on. The thing i liked best about the movie was how their bond was never broken despite all the stuff that happened.

Even though Nino was great in his role, i still wonder if they should've let him be the singer/songwriter hm... Nino + guitar =

I absolutely LOVED watching Kiiroi Namida. Not only did it have all Arashi members (which I always enjoy watching), it had such a nice story. It shows all of them working so hard in order to achieve their dream, ♥

I liked how it was from the older days, i could see how they partially lived and stuff. And of course, seeing Arashi act like they were from the older days was GREAT. :) I also liked the fact that it was older, cause it somehow seems more believable. Everything they talked about was believable and greatly acted~ :DD

I loved that movie, even if I didn't like Arashi I would still love it, and that's probably a big factor of a good movie for me. Like I loved Letters from Iwo Jima and then as I started liking Arashi I found out Nino was the LEAD in that movie and I was so happily surprised. I'm so glad they are talented in many multiple ways. <3 That makes me realize I will never get sick of them and that makes me happy.

I watched it a few days ago and to be very honest,I found it really boring. I would never watch it again...

I think that it is the nature of the movie to be slow. It is afterall about the showa period. But for a showa movie, I think it was pretty interesting and funny.

Afterall.. .we get to see arashi in the public bath...

and we get to see them covered in curry. LOLs.

i saw it a while ago, and though i usually like period pieces, this didn't entertain me too much. it is a rather "slow" moving plot, but despite that, i did like the idea of the plot because it covers a pretty pivotal moment in a group of friends' lives who were all in the process of needing to grow up and ultimately doing so.

friendship stuff get to me. arashi gets to me. yeah, this movie had me.

on a side note, i liked the cinematography of this movie. oh and sho's glasses are like ohno's glasses that he wore on music station recently for beautiful days! hehehe
