YesAsia Editorial Description

Adapted from the acclaimed comic by Yazawa Ai, director Nikai Ken recruited L'Arc~en~Ciel lead singer HYDE, Kill Bill's Kuriyama Chiaki, and newcomer Narimiya Hiroki to star in this strange love story.

Every 19 years, during "Kagen no Tsuki", or Last Quarter of the Moon, a miracle is set to happen and a romance is set to brew. Muzuki (Kuriyama) breaks up with her boyfriend Tomoki on her 19th birthday. Feeling lonely and having nowhere to go, she suddenly hears a familiar guitar melody. She follows the sound to an old house, where she meets Adam. They fall in love and vow to meet a week later. However, on the night of the last quarter of the moon, Muzuki is run over by a car. She awakes to find herself in the old house, but she cannot leave it. She is still alive, lying in a coma, but existing as a ghost in the house...

Director Nikai Ken is known for his work directing music videos, having previously worked with HYDE, pierrot, and The Gospellers; his previous film soundtrack won Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography at the 12th Spain International Fantastic Film Festival. HYDE not only recorded the theme song for the film, THE CAPE OF STORMS, he also takes on the role as mysterious musician Adam in the film. Kuriyama, famed internationally for taking on domineering roles, plays an ordinary girl for the first time in her career.

Pretty good... Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I must say that I really enjoyed this film. The only downside for me is that I wish HYDE had more speaking roles, but I understand the reason because of the role he played. The ending made me cry a bit and leaves you a little bit divided. The song HYDE wrote (The Cape of Storms) is the perfect song for the movie and is played throughout the film.

Overall, I found this film extremely interesting. The mystery leads you thinking about one thing when the answer is something else. It really keeps you guessing. ^^ Plus, HYDE looks HOT and does some really good acting! ^^

Excellent Movie! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This movie is great! It is a little scary, spooky, and yet sad, powerful and bittersweet. The plot is a little convoluted with a great ending. I have to watch it again to figure out one important connection in the movie because I watched it really late at night the first time. It almost scared the wit out of me, but the power of Hyde just drew me in, lol! The director did a great job, and all the actors and actresses did well. And of course, Hyde is unforgettable in the movie even with a very brief appearance. It seems like the movie was partially tailored made for him. The song, The Cape of Storms by Hyde which becomes my latest addiction, is featured in the movie. The song is a perfect fit for the movie! Don't miss it, Hyde or non-Hyde fans!

 Lovely Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I have read the manga and I was not disappoined. The scenes were beautiful and I really got into it this film. The only downside is that Hyde does not appear as often as I expected which is not that much of a big deal to me but may be for others.

If you are a big fan of the manga and willing to spend that amount for a Japanese DVD, this is a great buy. It is good enough for me to spend 40+ dollars on it, that is for sure.

 WOW. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I orriginaly watched this because Hyde was in it, but I immediately loved the movie. The song is perfect for it, and the whole movie was a lot better than I expected. The effects and scenery are so beautiful, and the twisting, confusing plot eventualy becomes so clear... plus *Slight Spoiler Warning* the twist at the end ((Which was actualy a little disturbing))... it was just amazing. Get it. Just... Get it...
