Rainbow Song (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

Director Kumazawa Naoto might not be a name that immediately grabs attention just yet, but his fifth film, Rainbow Song (a.k.a. Niji no Megami), is certainly catching eyes thanks to the backing of producer Iwai Shunji. Iwai also helped out with the screenplay under his pen name San Amino, along with Sakurai Ami and Saito Miyuki. Like many of Iwai's acclaimed works, Kumazawa's Rainbow Song is about youth, and there are quite a few familiar young stars onboard. Heartthrob Ichihara Hayato, the brooding lead from All About Lily Chou-Chou, and rising actress Ueno Juri (Swing Girls, Nodame Cantabile) star in the film, along with Aoi Yu (Hula Girls) and Aida Shoko (Alice's mother in Hana and Alice). As can be expected, Rainbow Song features beautiful cinematography, though more traditionally presented than Iwai's works, and remarkable, restrained performances. Kumazawa is assured and precise in his direction, creating a subtle and sincere story of youth, romance, and missed opportunities.

Harried production assistant Kishida Tomoya (Ichihara Hayato) spends most of his working hours making mistakes and being yelled at. Recalling his college days, he messages a picture of a rainbow to his longtime friend Aoi (Ueno Juri), only to find out later that she has passed away in a plane crash. Tomoya and Aoi met in college, developing a close relationship that seemingly went beyond friendship, but neither ever voiced their true feelings to each other. Devastated by the news of her death, he thinks back to their days together, revisiting the love they never had.

一個關於末日之戀的故事。因緣際會之下，葵認識了岸田智也（市原隼人飾），並邀請他擔任由她所拍攝的電影的男主角。意外地葵也成為了智也的愛情顧問，甚至幫他寫情書給其他女孩，兩人像哥兒般成了無話不談的好朋友，但又不知不覺間，兩人的關係變得微妙起來。

畢業之後，葵順利進入一間電視製作公司工作，眼見智也一直處於失業狀態，便介紹他到電視製作公司工作，而自己就為了自己的導演夢，決定到國外進修擴闊自己的視野，直至葵出國之前，她還是把對智也的感情放在心裏，未能說出口，失明的妹妹(蒼井優飾)心裏明白，常為她打氣。有一天，當天空再次出現兩人曾一同看到的水平式彩虹時，智也想起不在身邊的葵，勾起了他們以往的點點滴滴，智也隨即用手機拍下，並把眼前美景傳給葵，可是得到的並不是葵的回覆…

One day Tomoya, an incompetent but well-meaning staffer at a TV production company, discovers that his college friend Aoi Sato died in a plane crash in the United States. As he struggles to deal with the devastation, he cannot help but think of their past together, from their first meeting to their final farewell. When they first became friends, a circum-horizontal arc - a rare, flat phenomenon that looks like a rainbow - graced the sky. From failed romances to independent film projects to TV production ambition, Tomoya and Aoi developed a unique relationship. Sometimes, the very thing we search for, we cannot recognize until it is too late...but we can feel lucky knowing that we had something truly special for a while...
