Shinya and Tachibana have been together…for…well, forever (since high school anyway). They’re now in University and living together, everything is fantastic…until an old class mate appears on the scene…Yuki Mizusawa.

Another story with jealous as the centre of the story….what will happen to Shinya/Tachibana?!

 

My Thoughts:

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS

I really like this movie!
I think that Hidenori Tokuyama and Yasuka Saito have fantastic chemistry on screen.
Although as i’ve previously mentioned in another movie summary: i hate it when girls get involved and ruin a perfectly good relationship!
To be fair…without that storyline there wouldn’t be much to the movie….lol
I love how Shinya kinda….drived Tachibana away because he’s so jealous. But in the end all is good!
The sex scene was soooo good
(Speaking genuinely here! Not like some creepy crazy person that I usually am…)
It wasn’t….graphic, it was very sensual and filled with so much emotion….I loved it.

**The song that was played during the FANTASTIC sex scene was by Tokuyama Hidenori!! (A man of many talents!) The download link will be put at the bottom**What did we learn while watching this movie?!

How to write ‘Jealousy’ in Japanese
Yasuka Saito looks amazingly cute in this movie!
When I saw him in this….it didnt register that he was in the Takumi-Kun series…until i watched it again….wow, i’m so slow :L
And i’m totally in love with him… Hidenori Tokuyama is just fabulous :)Anyway..

I rate this movie:
8/10

F.A.Q
What does ai no kotodama mean?!!!~!~!?!~
well…Ai no Kotodama =  愛の言霊
愛 (ai) means love
言霊(Kotodama) can’t really be translated but refers to the ‘power of language/words’  言 refers to language or word and 霊 is spirit or soul…
because Kotodama doesnt have a single word translation, I cant really make it make sense but..I think Ai no Kotodama pretty much means the power(or spirt) of the word love, but don’t hold me to that, it’s better if we ask a native Japanese person..

  2. It is a fantastic movie! I'm glad you like it! :DAs for the instrumental….hm, I really don't know for sure what the song is…But I THINK that its the piano version of 'eve' by Tokuyama Hidenori, but I'm just guessing! (unfortunately I cant find this version anywhere so I can't confirm it :\\ )I'm sorry I cant be more helpful :\\If you ever find out exactly what it is I'd love to know! 😀

  4. Thank you for starting this blog and creating this post! ^^ This movie is seriously too cute too handle! I don't know if I am saying this because it is 2014 now and the fashion trend has changed or not, but Shinya's hair really needs to be gone haha. But that aside, he is a really handsome actor. And did I mention that he is so talented? I usually are not into Japanese acting style because it can get a little bit too exaggerated for my taste, and I will end up getting second hand embarrassment watching the movie. However, I find Hide's more subtle acting believable and am able to sympathize with his character. Maybe the character Shinya's \”un-cute\” personality does the trick? hmmm…. Or maybe it is his expressive eyes. And ehmergerd, those wiggling eyebrows! *trying to suppress my ffangirl self*On the other hand, Yasuka's acting is a little too animated. But Miyako is an uke, so he is allowed to be like that. haha All in all, I am going to rewatch this movie a thousand times X\”D I have been reading BL manga like forever but never knew that I would be able to find a live action that is this good ^^
