I spent more time than I'd like to admit finding a way to watch this movie. Something that would seemingly not be "worth my time" ended up being absolutely incredible. Having seen Swing Girls pretty recently, color me surprised when I found out Shinobu Yaguchi had another feel-good story about a girl who couldn't stop breaking out into song. It felt like a match made in heaven. There's something about the simplicity of it: it doesn't try to hard to do anything, just relying on Ayaka Miyoshi's charm and well choreographed numbers. I absolutely adored this film and never really wanted it to end.

Don’t hide yourself. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

I am so full of joy this was such a great movie! I’ve never really watched a musical before but this made me feel so happy i was smiling uncontrollably for most of its runtime! I loveeee feel good movies!!

From the director of Swing Girls, Shinobu Yaguchi, i already knew i was in for a good time, he really does specialise in making you feel unmatched happiness! Also Ayaka Miyoshi is so pretty. The cinematography & colour grading of this movie really helped the cheerful atmosphere of the movie come to life! The bright blues & reds the colourful clothings all add to why i think this was so good!

A weird diegetic musical, which part way through swiftly becomes a buddy comedy. Some of the musical segments are played as if everybody's in on it, whether to imply that's how she's perceiving it in the moment, or just because it's dramatic, and some of them are played totally straight, responded to with confusion.

I liked it a lot, although it's not on the same level as this director's Swing Girls--of course, most directors never produce a single film as good as Swing Girls.

"Clothing rental!"

Film keempat karya Shinobu Yaguchi yg kutonton.

Kali ini menceritakan Suzuki Shizuka dan diperankan mbak Ayaka Miyoshi, karakter utama kita ini diceritakan terkena hipnotis dimana setiap dia mendengar musik maka dia akan otomatis menari dan menyanyi.

harusnya bisa lebih baik lagi sih mengingat Swing Girls dan Water Boys dimana dua film itu dieksekusi dengan baik untuk film yg menampilkan sebuah pertunjukkan.

Nah kali ini karena film drama musical maka pertunjukkannya adalah menyanyi dan menari dan kayaknya memang tantangannya lebih banyak dari Swing Girls yaa karena adegan menarinya itu udah pasti banyak dan setiap scene harus ngatur koreografi dan blocking kamera juga.

Untuk adegan nyanyi dan narinya sih aku gk ada masalah sih ya masih okelah cuman masih bisa lebih bagus lagi harusnya dan kalau bisa adegan nari dan nyanyinya tuh punya tujuan dalam mengantarkan cerita, jadi gak cuman Si Shizuka nari terus NPC nya jadi penari latar terus pas si Shizuka sadar ternyata yg nari cuman dia sendiri, kalau bisa dibikin selama adegan nari itu juga terjadi perkembangan cerita. Fase ceritanya juga kurang sih, terlalu flat dan kurang rapi

Yaaa tidak sebagus Swing Girls tapi masih fun to watch, dan yang paling penting AYAKA MIYOSHI CAKEP BANGETT WOYYY, hehee.
