This is an animation work that focuses on depicting how the protagonist Arima Kosei spends his middle school life. The production is excellent, the music is excellent, the character description and the overall story have their own unique value, but they are slightly limited.
The heroine Miyazono Kaoru is suffering from an incurable disease to reform herself and work hard to realize her dream, and her dream is to cheer up the piano genius Arima, who no longer plays the piano. Of course, the author arranges such mainline conflict and development, which is exciting and has a long aftertaste for most audiences who are just in adolescence. After all, the best way for a person to remember himself is to let him fall in love with himself and then die , This ample love has stayed in the restless and gorgeous adolescence. As time goes by, only the little girl in my memory will always be a little girl, always smiling to myself, always full of energy, and always loving myself.
But it is a bit unpleasant to have to scrutinize the love path of these two people. Looking at Kaoru Miyata who became a copy of his mother in the later period in order to promote Arima's growth, and his father who was equivalent to non-existence, thinking about it, it became a whirlpool of Russian plots.
This apparently suspended love is actually not the real strength of the original author of the comic, Naoji Shinkawa. The hidden heroine in the work, Tsubaki Sawabe, the emotional changes of her characters can be said to be delicate and vivid. It depicts the first love of a simple and positive thirteen-year-old girl vividly. Just taking Tsubaki's main perspective to see, It's "The Love Diary of a Baseball Girl". Her confusion about her own mind, her unwillingness to face it, the sourness and anxiety in love, and the purity of wanting to stay together forever are the most endearing characteristics of the heroine of a Japanese youth love story, and she can't even respond. The loud crying of the longed-for senior is pure innocence that cannot be disgusted.
That's how it is when you're young in love. Everyone is growing up, everyone is looking for it, and from childhood sweethearts to liked people is just one of the insignificant changes of adolescence.
Kaoru's existence is a dream.
In reality, some people may be piano geniuses, some have lovely childhood sweethearts, some have handsome and reliable friends, but there will not be a terminally ill patient who approaches him just because he longs for himself, playing the violin with a smile and blond hair, just for the sake of You can be happier.
Only a mother can do that.
Only a mother will make every effort to give you the chance to be happy at the end of her life because she wants you to be happy.
Although the image of the mother in the first half of the work is Arima's painful nightmare, as long as I think of my mother while playing, I can't even hear the sound of the piano, but the root of all this is not because the mother's strictness, the mother's beating, the mother's scary respirator. Rather—the mother is dead.
If it is really a cruel, cold-blooded, ruthless and unjust mother, Arima, the protagonist, can easily put all the faults on her mother and stage a story of a domestic violence child's counterattack. But no, he was deeply loved, and at the same time he knew that he couldn't bear this deep love at the time. This love was too heavy, whether it was playing the piano or not, the love left by his mother was like The circling ghosts pierced to the bone just thinking about it. It was so heavy that he knew that what he said was angry and said that he wanted his mother to die. If his mother really died, he hated himself so much for saying this, so much so that his subjective consciousness told him that he was no longer worthy. Play again.
Neither a beating nor a boring practice can demotivate a child who feels loved.
He lost the meaning of life after losing his mother who gave him life and gave him the power to play the piano.
Playing the piano no longer makes sense.
The death topic that the author really talks about in his works may only be the death of his mother from beginning to end. Kaoru's departure is just to heal Arima's way of leaving, knowing that even if people leave, people's love will not leave, this simple truth.
Only when he truly accepts his mother's death, he understands that even death cannot separate their love. Every time he plays the piano, his mother will accompany him. Good "Sorrow of Love", it's all yours, mother can only give you these, because she has left.
She can't guide Arima in love one day in the future, can't sit in the audience under the Arima stage one day in the future, and can't touch his face one day in the future to apologize: "I'm sorry, I was so strict with you at that time."
This is the weight of life and the only weight.
Accepting death, the ghost of the mother can become his patron saint.
The work uses Kaoru Miyata to connect the colorful youth and the dark thread of death, and explores topics that are far more serious than love stories. I would like to thank the music production of this work very much. The music production of this work is cheerful and exciting, so as to avoid stereotypes in various senses.
This is April's lie and the parting of a lifetime.
