My Japanese Movies Addiction

-
A few weeks ago, I was so hooked up with Japanese movies! I've been going to Japan for the nth time but its only this time that I appreciate their movies. :)


Here are my top picks.


Tada, Kimi Wo Aishiteru (Heavenly Forest)




I was crying so hard when I was watching this film! As in I cried like a baby! Awww. Hahaha! This movie is a Japanese film adaptation of Ichikawa Takuji's novel "Renai Shashin: Mo Hitotsu no Monogatari". Photography in this movie is one of its strongest points besides acting. And I love photography! Both of the lead actors were just amazing! I was not mentally prepared that I would cry so much while watching this movie but its worth every tissue! Anyway, this movie is one of the best Japanese movies out there so don't miss it! :)

Kimi Ni Todoke (Reaching You)




I fell in love with this movie because of its lead actor Haruma Miura! Gosh! He is so damn cute! I fell in love with him the moment he smiled. Awww. My heart is melting just thinking of it! Haha! All in all, this is a feel good movie. Nothing too much, and no villain. But I think the actors really played well. And also, one thing about this movie is its beautiful scenery. Gosh! I missed Japan! :)

Sekai No Chushin De, Ai O Sakebu (Crying Out Love in the Center of the World)



This is a beautifully shot and profoundly touching film about love and grief. The film travels between two time lines. I really felt the love between the characters, which is why I am so deeply moved by their love story. :)

Taiyou No Uta (Song of the Sun / Midnight Sun)



The story is very moving if you allow yourself to get drawn to it. It is about a girl who can only live at night and a high school student who loves to surf as the sun rises. The songs in the movie was great and suited the movie character of a street singer -Goodbye Days, Skyline and It's Happy Days. I also cried while watching this film. :D 

The thing about Japanese movies is that they like their characters to die in the end. Haha. Well, 3 out of 4 in the movies I have posted, the lead character had died in the end. Lol! But Japanese movies are really good, and I can't believe I only appreciated it now. 

XOXO ♥

I always have this random feeling of missing someone -well, only one person. :P I hate this feeling, simply because I know I can't do anything about it. Damn it. Especially now that Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Couples everywhere. Bitter? Hahaha. :D I just miss the feeling and I miss him. :'( Found myself playing this song over and over again. I know he's happy with his life now. "Maybe one day, I'll find a way, to make that smile stay." XOXO ♥

Inner Peace

Repost from HERE. A Prayer For When You Need Inner Peace You are the silent prayer, where the mind wanders when it finds respite. You are the miracle that unveils the wonders of life. You are the rain that streams through the clouds and the sun that blankets the sky. You are the sound that dims the noise we don’t want to hear. You are the light that intimidates all evil. You are the silent observer who transpires every now and again. You are always there. Belief sways between contemplation and closure. You are omnipresent and unbiased, but mostly because you are inaudible. You don’t announce your presence through words, but let the tale unfold slowly instead. Sometimes, it seems you unleash your wrath when we are caught off-guard. At other times, you astonish us with marvels we never expected. You dim the lights and urge us to trudge through the blinding darkness, only so that we can reach the illumination. And when the twilight of life consumes us, your ubiquitous infl
