Overview

Every day, a young girl wearing a mask stands by the beach and sings a nostalgic melody. After experiencing two sudden heart-wrenching partings when she was only a child, Nino Arisugawa has been singing her songs to the ocean, bound by a promise made with her two childhood friends—her first love, Momo Sakaki, and a boy who composed music, Kanade "Yuzu" Yuzuriha. Having never met each other, the boys both individually promised that if Nino was ever separated from them, her voice would be the beacon to reunite them once again.

Reviews

Adapted from the manga Fukumenkei Noise, this live-action film presents a heartfelt story of music, memories, and emotional growth, supported by a strong narrative foundation and consistent pacing. While the performances are decent and the music mostly fitting, some emotional expressions and the climactic song selection fall slightly short. Ultimately, the film offers a meaningful reflection on letting go of the past and embracing change — a message delivered through the power of sound and stage.
