[rosina_902]

[unfaithfullgurl]

no srry but as soon as it comes out i'll tell u
if any1 plans on subbing this i suggest u use overstream its soo easy and fast all u have to do is copy and past the link of the movie and then write on it from there
http://www.overstream.net/
no programs

[KatDiva]

I've heard so many good things about this movie... I am sure it will be subbed as soon as a raw version is available.

It sounds so tender. I love "Real Life" type movies and stories... they are so unforgettable and stay with you years later. (Like Byakuyakou)

Keep us posted on this!

Arigato!

Just watched this movie last night.. It was so great! Such a tear jerker.
Im planning on watching it again LOL
Both the actor and actress's acting was so superb!
I wonder why no one has subbed it yet.. such great movie should deserve some eng. subs for more people to watch.
Oh.. btw, does anyone know where to buy the book in Chinese? Yesasia only has the book in Japanese..

[anneliese-arisa]

you can try to watch it on tudou but there is only chinese subs available.....
the ending is touching and i really hope to get the soundtrack!
i would also like to read book!

[jereriviel]

The Kinokuniya in Singapore has the book in Chinese. I've finish reading them!!! The story from the book is very detailed and nice but I would say in terms of romance, I find that the movie version is more romantic

[divyness]

I really want to see this movie in eng subs... I already watched a couple trailers and some spoiler moments?! in youtube. It had me crying so bad XD But it looks very romantic... though sad.

**EDIT:

I just watched a bit on Tudou, though I didn't understand all of it, I could fairly guess what was going on. There's definitely some very romantic cute parts between Hiro and Mika. He's such a cool guy and she's such a sweetheart. Sigh. I would definitely like these two actors to be paired up again in work onscreen. Good chemistry. So sweet. So sweet.

But I didn't watch the ending because
1. I want to watch it with the eng subs and
2. I don't feel like crying much right now.

XD maybe another day I'll finish this movie.

Great so far though!

Cliched, cliched, cliched. But I liked the mature way they handled the issue of death. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. It was alright. The cinematography was very good, and there's sufficient eyecandy.

[.jaevia]

i just watched this movie few days ago

high school love story, more to puppy-love its sweet though, how hiro thinks of Mika whatever he does.
their love kind went really fast.
but the ending is really touching, i must say, i did cried here and there while watching!
and i forgot to say, haruma who acted as hiro was really HOT

[anneliese-arisa]

if only hiro didnt die! and he should tell mika about his illness...
even though i was touched by the way he protected mika by not telling on the problem and faced it alone. but this also shorten the time they could have spent together! i think the movie was great and a definite must watch to all! if only they didn't rush too much of the story... turn it to a dorama? maybe! i would watch if the cast remain the same!! xD

[joykimlee]

Gonna go out n buy tis dvd today since i read somewhere else it's released. Hopefully it's as gd as Heavenly Forest, my fav jmovie.

[Riz-nie]

omg,i love this movie so much..
and hiro is freaking hot...
i just hate the ending..
it makes me cry ALOT..
for some reasons this story reminds me,
of another japanese movie "Dear Friends"..
=D

[LovesRainie]

This movie's great!
I like Hiro, he's cute x)

The actors can act really well, and some of the scenes were definite tearjerkers

[tella8]

Couldn't find it out for sale in HK yet. So watched it with english subs at Veoh.

[hyuk♥cha♥sungmin]

i just watched this last night cause my cousin had it and soft subs were released.. man. THUMBS UP for the two of them.. their acting was really cool! for their age, it was really great already.. it didnt look fake at all..

i cried a lot though.. i loved it when Mika said that she was pregnant and Hiroki just ran off. and came back with a really kawaii face haha

just a quick thing.. Hiroki (Miura) and the other boyfriend of Mika (Koide Keisuke) were both in Gokusen series haha Miura in the recent one and Koide in Gokusen 2. hahah Mika's sister is one of the three girls who bullied Makino in HANA YORI DANGO. haha

[phlowt]

I've watch this movie already..
I loved it so much!
Such a sad ending...

I really love the couple..
they are just perfect.
Haruma is HOT!!!
Wish I had a boyfriend like "Hiro/Haruma"...

[meoinkie2]

just finished watching this a minute ago.. suddenly got curious of the movie because of the nice posts regarding it at the news section..

i sooo love it!!! i was crying non-stop especially during the last parts.. it's just sooo unfair..such a sad ending indeed.. *me on the verge of tears again*
im really touched with regards to the couple's love for each other..that's why im really crying so hard when the unexpected had to happen to Hiro!!
on the brighter side, it's definitely a great movie!!!!!! for the others who still haven't watched it, "mitte kudasai!!" .. plus Gakky and Miura's acting in there felt sooo real, now im kinda rooting for them!! LOL..plus Miura's soo kakkoi and cute in that bleached hairdo of his.. it's actually my first time watching him as well as Gakky.. so probably i wud get to watch their other works..gotten curious with Gokusen 3..hehehe..

[meoinkie2]

whenever i listen to the songs used in the movie, Heavenly Days by Gakky and Tabidachi No Uta by Mr. Children, im having deep flashbacks about the movie especially the very touching and sad parts.. waaaaaa!! makes me wanna watch it again..

yosh, just posting some random pics..
scaps from the movie



one of their promo events.. most probably this was in Korea

[Windward]

Oh my god, I loved this movie.

It made me cry from start to end, was just such a touching, simple love story.
Many people might criticise it for being unrealistic, and I suppose the telling of events into one movie made it seem a little rushed. BUT, no matter, it was a beautiful intepretation of love, how it's so selfless yet selfish at the same time.

Not to mention, Hiro is HOT. Gosh, and he's only 1 year older than I am (oops I'm revealing my age here).

I'm still suffering from the after-effects, pondering on the story and the hidden meanings behind everything. Definitely a movie I'd watch again with my man.

[karened]

I bet you will love the story even more after reading the novel. It's so much better - just imagine Aragaki and Haruma in their respective roles! The Jap version captures the whole thing most vivdly...somehow..

[meoinkie2]

where can i read the novel?? in English?? im trying to look for it but found nothing..or it's just that i don't know where to look..XD

[ichihimelove]

i just watched this a week ago, and i have to say Koizora has become my favorite jap movie.
The casting was perfect, Yui Aragaki was too adorable, Haruma Miura was too hot, and together they made the cutest couple ever. It was hard not to fall in love with them.

[honeycake]

i just finish watching this movie...the story is good but too rush...Miura Haruma was really hot

[kookie315]

This movie was really good and fun to watch. Sad, funny, cute. What more could you want?

[karened]

where can i read the novel?? in English?? im trying to look for it but found nothing..or it's just that i don't know where to look..XD

Gomen! Erm I bought the books but they're in Jap. They have them translated into Chinese too, but not in English...if only they did ne! It'll be a hit I'm sure.
