君に届け - The live action movie
君に届け - The live action movie hit the theaters in Japan last weekend, 25th Sept.
and i managed to catch it today!
with a pack of chips and hot tea.The movie is 2 long hours and i like it even though the story line is not exactly same as the manga. The first half of the movie, up till the sports day had followed the manga pretty closely but not the second half. Bits and pieces of the Christmas eve party, the New Year Eve and the confessions are all pieced together which makes up the second half of the movie. Well, the movie makers need to make do with 2 hours of screen time so i guess that's inevitable.
There was zero screen time for the school summer festival which also means there wasn't Sawako's confession which happened in the classroom and i'm a tab disappointed as it's one of my favourite part in the manga. The confession for the movie, i'm not impressed. Seriously, i was expecting something more from Kazehaya Kun.
My favourite scene is the toilet scuffle from which Yano and Chizu save Sawako. I think it made my eyes teary. (/_;)/ I like Mikako Tabe as Kuronuma Sawako. She's cute sure does have the Sawako's look. As for Haruma Miura as Kazehaya Shota... well, i'm not a fan of Haruma Miura even though i used to like him in Koizora but without the tanned and bleach white hair, he's kind of not my cup of tea thus, i shan't comment on him. =P
For the other casts, i think they did a fairly good job other than ping? Ping, the homeroom teacher, i like him in the manga and anime but not in the movie. I think the guy who play this role, i cannot remember his name and i can't be bothered to look it up, is a little to old. I thought Ping is suppose to be this young, humorous and full of himself kind of teacher?
The team in charge of the cast's hair and clothing, they deserve alot of credit. The cast's hairstyle are almost similar to the manga especially for Kurumi, long and fluffy hair is one of her triad marks. Sawako had her hair tied up as a bun during sports day and wore a cute poncho on New Year's Eve in the movie too even though it's grey instead of white.
All in all, i think it's a nice movie with tears filled moments and ドキドキ (doki doki) times too!
Oh, and if you will be catching the movie when it's up in your country, you might like to seat through the credits as there will be one sweet final scene after all the credits are rolled out. I not sure but in my home country, the little red dot, we leave our seats once the movie ended and not care about the credits but it's not the case in Japan. They seat through and watch the credits!!! I was shocked the first time and i was watching Indiana Jones then, it took a good 10mins for the all the credits to roll out and no one left the theater and neither did any one laugh or whisper through out the movie even though it was a comedy!!! My guess, the subtitles must be boring. hah.

This clip shows some footage from the movie.
flumpool 「君に届け」
Now i so love this song by flumpool. *Hearts*
「君に届け」
つぶらな瞳も
鼻にかかるじゃれた声も
その小さな手も
うまく笑えない君が笑えば
あの日見た夢が またひとつ叶う
行き交う人たちの幸せ
自分のことのように
どうして ねぇ 願うの？
君に逢えたこと
本当に良かったと そう言える
その笑顔を守りたい
来年も再来年も 今以上に君が好きで
それぐらい 僕のすべてで
僕にしか言えない言葉を
今君に届けたい
投げ出したくなって 悩んでないで
時には喧嘩して そんな毎日で
それでも君は君らしく また歩んでく
木漏れ日の下 愛しい
飛び交う嘘貸しと 迷い惑わされない心よ
まっすぐな祈りよ
僕は目を閉じて 君との未来を思い描く
その笑顔を描いてる
いつもいつまでも 思うことはひとつだけ
たまらなく君が好きだよ
君にしか言わない言葉を 紡ぎ出していくから
どんな君の側面を見ても
大袈裟かもしれないけど
そのどれもが僕の胸を打つ
抱きしめたい
もしも悲しみに包まれたなら
僕は 今すぐ君に会いに行くよ
届け 今、届け
君に言えずにいた 『I love you.』
その心の真ん中に
来年も再来年も 今以上に君が好きで
それぐらい 僕のすべてで
僕にしか言えない言葉を見つけたから
心まで交わしたい 思い君に届けたい

Eeeeeeehhhh... 腐女子 I'm so envious.... I have been so curious.... I doubt they are bringing the movie to S'pore. I will have to wait for the DVD.... Sawako didn't confess at all in the movie??? That's queer. How did the movie portray Sawako expressing her love for him? Thanks for sharing. ^^
Hey Ankemaybe! Sawako did confess in a way, it's a little different from the manga.
[Spoilers ahead]
The confession in the manga was a whole lot of confusion but in the movie, Kazehaya too, confessed first but he made it clear to Sawako that he wanted her to be his girlfriend as Sawako though he was merely asking her to accompany him to some place when he asked: "俺と付き合て?", Sawako panic and left after Kasehaya said: "俺の彼女になる". However, she reciprocated Kazekaya's feelings on New Year's Eve night. To be exact, it's already New Year's Day.
I think the online subs will be faster than the DVD. hah. Chinese especially. Keep a look out on tudou, mycrunchyroll and asianrice.
oh no! they didn't include sawako's confession in the classroom in the movie? damn...that's my most favourite scene in the whole manga too, which i think is the pivotal point of the manga.
anyway, thanks so much for this entry. i think i will wait for the english subbed version to come out online. not sure whether kimi ni todoke has a huge following back here in singapore as to warrant a distributor to bring it to the cinemas here. but i can still wish fervently for the movie to hit our shore though! cause i so want to watch it on the big screen rather than on the minuscule screen of my laptop! heh~ but beggars can't be choosers so i will wait patiently for KNT to come out be it online or on the cinemas. you're so lucky, u can watch it firsthand, unsubbed too =)
