Jun Apr 21 2019 7:51 am Wow, cool! Yamazaki

Xxximax Mar 10 2019 1:05 pm What song in yanagi drum concert scene ?

Lucifer Mar 07 2019 9:15 pm when I saw kento yamazaki then I should watch it

Anthony Jan 11 2019 2:12 am Saw this yesterday on a SingAir flight. Some very exquisite cinematography. The story may seem boring, but if you can see the wood in the forest, you can see the message in the overall story. I’m sure someone in Hollywood will end up making their own version of this movie, but it will not come anything close to the depth this movie displays.

Klorida Apr 11 2018 5:34 pm Mone & Moka :))

Summer Feb 26 2018 9:21 am Wow another movie where Yamaken gets to play the piano! I watched Your Lie in April when it aired in our country and his piano skills were superb! I couldn't even master one piece after months of playing it lol. Heard he learned the piano for six months in preparation for that role, well it surely didn't disappoint! I'd love for this movie to be shown in the Philippines too!!!

precious flower Dec 11 2017 3:42 am i laughed when i read the first line of the description cause it said Naoki Tomura (Kento Yamazaki) is a high school student . really kento like how many times do you have to be a high school student again? I love how kento can still play high school student roles despite his age..
