Drowning knife (Oboreru Knife) - Japanese movie

This week, I'll introduce you another Japanese romantic movie that was released this winter, which is "Drowning knife (Oboreru Knife). I went to see it, and I was really impressed by all the beautiful scenes that appeared on the screen.

Natsume and Kou, taken from the official website


Brief story: Natsume, a 15 year old girl who is also a popular model, moves for far from Tokyo for her family reasons. She was completely bored living in the countryside, but she meets Kou, a boy so different from everyone in the way he lives in a complete freedom. Although not getting on well at the beginning, Natsume eventually realises she is so attracted by Kou, and they'd eventually get together. They felt like they could do anything if they stayed together. However, a tragic event happens on a day of summer festival. Feeling of strength broken, the bond between them break too. What decision will they make at about their future...?


Yeah, it was quite difficult to write the brief story without telling too much, but this really is only first half (or even less) of the story :(

As I have said earlier, all the scenes in this movie are just so beautiful. As it is set at a countryside where a lot of traditions are still kept, you can also enjoy viewing some of the Japanese cultural events or value that we cannot see in movies set in Tokyo!

This article will introduce a Japanese boys rock band, which has increased its popularity among young girls in the last few years. It's called "back number", and they are famous for their unique lyrics, which is, most of the time, referred to as being girly. It's written from the boy's point of view most of the time, and the boy that comes up are often quite pessimistic, to a point it's really cute to hear him think so negatively. (I've actually introduced them a little bit in the previous article about a movie called " Tomorrow I will date yesterday's you " Taken from their official website For example, let's take a look at the lyrics of "Takane no Hanako San".
