Taiyou no Uta
Wed Dec 12, 2012 11:29 am
Song to the Sun, known in Japan as Taiyō no Uta (タイヨウのうた Song of the Sun?), is a movie directed by Norihiro Koizumi starring the Japanese artist and singer Yui. In the movie, she plays the role of Kaoru Amane (雨音 薫 Amane Kaoru), a 16 year old girl who has the rare skin condition xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a disease that makes the ultraviolet radiation of sunlight potentially lethal to her. Yui's character is partly based on herself, as she is a singer and guitarist, and she performs three of Yui's songs in the movie; "It's Happy Line", "Good-bye Days" and "Skyline". There has also been a Japanese TV drama based on the movie, starring Takayuki Yamada and Erika Sawajiri, along with a manga by Bandō Kenji also based on the movie by Minatsuki Tsunami. This movie was based on a real story of a girl named Kaoru Amane. She sings a song called Taiyou no Uta, which is the movie's name
Kaoru and Kōji playing guitar
As her disease worsens, she loses feeling in her hands and is unable to play guitar. She assures Kōji that she still has her voice.
In the studio, she asks her family and friends to leave. She asks them to wait for the CD.
Time passes. As promised, Kōji brings Kaoru to the beach to watch him surf. The protective suit she had left hanging for years is finally used. By now she is in a wheelchair. She complains that the suit is getting hot. With a painful expression that fades quickly, Kaoru's father tries to convince her that if she takes off the suit, it can't bother her anymore, that she could run around freely. She declines. With that, she struggles to stand up and limps weakly toward Kōji. As she walks, she trips over the sand and Kōji rushes to catch her. She catches herself at the last minute, revealing that it was a feint and giggles at his surprised face.
Finally Kaoru is laid to rest in a coffin full of sunflowers. Kōji, Kaoru's friends and family listen as Kaoru's CD is finally released. In the final scene, Kōji rushes towards the waves, his mind replaying her voice.
