Rainbow Song (Japan Version) DVD Region 2

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.
