Last Sunday i watched an Japanese movie named "Taiyou no uta (song to the sun)" online..This movie all about the life of a girl who got a type of skin disease wherein she will die if her skin gets exposed to sunlight.Because of this her parents never allowed her to go outside in day time even if she intends to go outside.she is always go outside for walk during night time.She is too much affectionate about playing guitar and singing along with that..Here in japan usually people do singing and playing guitar along the roadside on weekends..Not because they want money but for entertainment and this is the hobby of the most of the Japanese..
She used to walk alone on the empty road in the night and go to a place nearby her house and start playing guitar and sing the song narrated by herself.During daytime she used to sleep for a while and sit near the window and see the beautiful coastal scenes.one day when she is young,she saw from the house through the window,some school boy who is waiting for his friends at a bus stop...daily he used to sit and waiting for his friends arrival b drinking some cool drinks purchased from a vending machine.she used to see him daily and somehow fall in love with him.She always wanted to meet him and talk with him.After some day he purchased a surfboard and he and his friends used to go to sea for surfing daily.All she can do is just watch from the window.nothing else she could do.
One day her close friend saw her watching him through the window and asked about the fact and she told all the story to her seeking help from her to get the more details about that boy.Her friend gathered all the information about him and gave it to her. one night when she is singing on the road,the boy happened to pass by that road and she saw him and ran towards him to talk about her interest on him.After that they become close friends and he used to take her to the major city of the japan Yokohama..one day she started singing on the road of Yokohama,where usually many people do the roadshow;audiences gathered large in numbers when she started singing the song playing the guitar.Then only she came to know about her talent as how well she could sing.and later on that night he took her to the seashore where he used to do surfing daily and started waiting for the sunrise to start.But as soon as she realizes about the sunrise,apprehensively she starts running towards her house in a intention to reach the home before the sunrise.Her boyfriend helps her to reach her home just in time.but still some portion of her hand get exposed to the sunlight which eventually cause the disease to get exaggerated.
Someday later her boyfriends informs her about the music competition held near Tokyo and insist to participate in that event.She agrees to participate in the show and hence she starts practicing the guitar daily.One day,when she is practicing she realized that her fingers of left hand gets paralyzed making impossible her to play the guitar.on consulting the doctor it was clarified that her disease will eventually gets intensified making her whole body paralyze and finally leading to death.But without losing hope she starts practicing a song for the radio channel.and Finally she sang melodious song "ON AIR" radio channel and made CD's of the song for selling.
Day by day her skin disease get intensified causing her death leaving behind her melodious song to the people of japan.Her parents and friends gets gratified when they hear the song on the radio.Thus ends the story with a tragedy ending.
Even though the movie ends with a tragic end,the scenes were shot on beautiful coastal area of Japan.The romantic feelings between a boy and a girl,love of a parents towards their child and friendship are manifested on screen so realistic that you will get involved in the movie as one of them.The sentiments attached between the parents and child was directed marvelously.and also the girl never accept ed failure in life because of the skin problem,she still worked hard and achieved her goal of becoming a singer and create her own album.Some of the scenes make you cry.Hats of to the director and story writer for such a wonderful and beautiful movie.One must watch this movie.
