Koizora The Review

Koizora

Koizora, or “Sky of Love”, is a romance movie originally published on the popular online mobile site Mahou no iRando. (a play on “Magic Island”) The amateur novelist wrote based on her own true experiences. This I find a bit unbelievable. She must have had one hell of a life – underage sex and gang rape, pregnancy, miscarriage, cancer, and death. The film has been criticized for being unrealistic, with its depiction of these topics.
But anyway, the beginning of the film was a beautiful love story. The middle, however, was a bit cheesy, and the end was typical, but very well-done. The ending definitely made up for the overly-dramatic middle section, and left me with watery eyes. (I hardly go soft at movies) After watching, I felt really satisfied – like it wouldn’t have ended any other way. Overall, a corny, sweet, impossible, romance movie that mostly appeals to the young female audience. Apparently 11 million viewers were sobbing by the end.
The story begins with high-school girl Mika (Aragaki Yui) losing her mobile, and the white-haired, charming high-school delinquent Hiro (Miura Haruma) picking it up. He deletes all of her contacts and messages, and basically stalks her with nameless phone calls. Mika thinks this is romantic, and the two get to know each other, despite the fact that Mika has no idea who her new friend is. They meet for the first time in school, become a couple, and create a strong bond. (I guess us girls do fall for the bad boys- LOL). Many of the plot holes started here, though (SPOILERS) – Mika, the ultimately innocent girl, goes off to have sex with Hiro, and Saki (Hiro’s ex) thinks it a great plan to hire some punks to rape Mika out of jealousy. Struggling to conceive her and Hiro’s baby, and suffering from Saki’s abuse, Mika ends up having a miscarriage, and Hiro is devastated. They break up, yet it’s obvious that they still love each other. Mika gets another boyfriend, called Yu, but once she hears that Hiro’s got cancer, she returns to his side, and stays with him in the hospital until he dies. The ending was so touching – Hiro asks Mika to run an errand, and while she’s on her way back, she gets a call from the hospital. Freaking out because Hiro is dying, she runs back, and contacts Hiro via a video conversation on her mobile. Hiro asks her to smile, and dies with her tearful, smiling face being the last thing he sees. *sorry for spoilers*
The casting was awesome – model Aragaki Yui and dashing (lol) Haruma Miura were a perfect match. Hiro’s white hair and dark tan looked strangely good on him, despite the fact that he looks like he was taken out of anime. Also, Keisuke Koide as Fukuhara Yu was the perfect choice as a likeable boyfriend that’s just too nice to compete with the bad boy for Mika’s heart. Other great supporting roles – Mika’s mother and school friends made some good appearances.
The director Natsuki Imai made some good decisions – Mika and Hiro are underage, yet their physical relationship, although a big event in the story, is not dissected and exploited. With some skillful camera angles and manipulation, the steamy scenes are kept to a minimum. Also, Yamamoto Hideo did a beautiful job with the cinematography – the scenery was beautifully done.
Koizora turned out to be much more than I expected, and ended up being worth the time, except for a few plot holes/inconsistencies. But, they added the drama we all love (or most of us anyway), so it was an enjoyable watch.

From This Moment sung by Shania Twain

(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and everything and I will always care. Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse, I will love you with every beat of my heart.)

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

True Love

True Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on how we feel. Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead to action—true love.

We can only identify true love and know when we have found it, based on the Word of God. When we match our relationships up to what the Bible says that love is—and we are honestly prepared to make a life-long commitment to that person—then we can say that we are truly “in love.” The three keys to that statement are:
We have to…

1. Look at the Word of God
2. Be completely honest with ourselves
3. Understand the level of commitment that comes with true love
