-花水木-

Hanamizuki (花水木) is actually a type of flower. Hmmm it looks like a sakura. Isn't it looks pretty with the pink petal?? Well, I am not talking about the flowers here.

Hanamizuki ('花水木') is a Japanese film based on 2004 pop song by You Hitoto. It is casted by Yui Aragaki (新垣結衣) and Toma Ikuta (生田斗真).

This film is telling a touching, romance story between two teenagers, Sae and Kouhei, whom they fell in love, having a long distance relationship and how they separated to pursue their dreams or facing the obstacles in life.

Sae hoped to enter Tokyo's university while Kouhei decided to stay at Hokkaido helping his father and followed his father's footsteps to become a fisherman. Kouhei had to let Sae left for Tokyo to pursue her dream even though his heart did not want to. But their love still remain strong until the incident that took Kouhei's father life and his family was in debt. Kouhei was forced to break up with Sae as he did not want to impede her dream/career. *Touching- sob sob*

After separated for years, they met at one friend's wedding and they still could not forget each other. The bond of love between them was still strong. But Kouhei has married. Seeing the situation, Sae decided to accept the proposal from another guy but unfortunately, the guy who proposed to her, died in an accident before she has a chance to tell him that she has accepted his proposal. On the other hand, Kouhei's wife knew that her husband still loves Sae so decided to call for divorce. Years passed. Destiny brought them back together again in Hokkaido.

It was so touching and sad! Tissue, please......~ *sob sob* Even though they separated for 10 years, they still loved each other and finally they could be together. Years of travelling and seeing the world out there, they decided it was time to come back to where they belong and that's where their fate started and continued.
