Roller-coaster of feelings and a touchy ending!, 4 October 2006
10/10
Author: pia_klenting from Jakarta, Indonesia

Somehow I knew it would be a usual typical Japanese movie with not-a-happy-ending, but still I love it anyway. Takuya Kimura really showed his arrogant cool handsome look in that movie -I love the way he smokes- and acted as if he was a real hair stylist. The story gave me a roller-coaster of feelings and a shocking touchy ending. Once in a while, Shuji was not a firm person, as he couldn't seem to decide where he stands. Like when he couldn't decide between Kyoko or his ex-girlfriend. He didn't seem to show his feelings toward Kyoko -which is seen in almost most of Japanese movies where Japanese guys are too proud to show their feelings and end up loosing the girl- while on the other hand Kyoko was trying to show her feelings but didn't get the response she hoped for. The ending is also a hit! I couldn't stop my tears when Shuji tried to talk to Kyoko's dead body and put on make-up for her burial. A man could really love a woman and tries to achieve his dreams for her. The story teaches us to tell someone that you love before it's too late. Long live love!! =p
