Plot
Tears for You is a love story about two step-siblings, Yota (Satoshi Tsumabuki) and Kaoru (Masami Nagasawa). Long ago, Yota's mother (Kyoko Koizumi) married Kaoru's jazz-playing father (Tatsuya Nakamura), effectively merging the two families. Unfortunately, Kaoru's father skipped town, and Yota's mother passed away, but not before imparting a dying wish to her young son to take care of Kaoru. In the meantime, the two young children were raised by Yota's grandmother on a small island off the coast of Okinawa. When Yota came of age, he took on a role not just as a brother but as a surrogate father of sorts for Kaoru, always working long hours on any number of jobs in order to support his sister's education.

Shit, if this movie is not causing tears to flow, I don't know what will. And I do not easily tear.

i expected more romantic love. tears didn't pour like crazy, but the tsumabuki's fantastic performance of brotherly love is touching and memorable. the development tugged at my heartstring a bit at a time. the song "nada sou sou" was a great help in making me remember this movie every once in a while.

It is a sad story, so we may be grateful for what we have and hold in our life.
I like watching movies/dramas which allow me to see life from different perspective.

It'd be so much a better watch if the girl somewhat "looks" younger than him.
