I love Japanese Movies!!!!

It's crazy I know but I have to admit that I am a softy for Japanese movies and manga. It has been a long while since I've watched an anime, watched a Japanese movie or read a manga but it seemed today the feeling has been rekindled.

What happened was earlier this morning I was at my grandparents house for the passing of my grandfather. My cousins were all there and upon waking up we watched this South Korean/Japanese movie entitled Virgin Snow.

I was really captivated by the story line and the actors... more in actual fact the actress who played the lead role of Nanae. Her name was Aoi Miyazaki. She's a popular actress in Japan and funny enough I've never heard of her or seen her work til today.

The first thing that caught my attention was how this Japanes actress really looked like Malaysia's very own Siti Nurhaliza. Behold exhibit A:

Aoi Miyazaki:

 

Dato' Siti Nurhaliza (or at least when she was younger):

 They roughly have the same features. Never mind that's not important.

So continuing on! I decided to Wiki all the actors and actresses and I came across another Movie that Aoi Miyazaki acted in called Nana, based on the manga of the same name.

I had just finished watching it and all I got to say is... I totally loved it! 

 The story is about two girls named Nana who's paths crossed serendipitously and they became housemates and through their friendship they find their dreams and romance... not with each other mind you, it's not that kind of a story. 

Never the less, this story touched my heart in so many ways in it's story and the believable chemistry between the two main actresses that I would recommend anyone trying to find their way through life to watch this movie.

It will move you.

P.s. If you were a fan of the movie Death Note, then you'd be very surprised to find the actor that played L is in this movie too :D
