Mareng disebabkan kemurungan yang melanda aku amik keputusan merayap ke Jusco Wangsa Maju lepas keje. Biasanya kalau aku tengah stress kalau dapat lepak bookstore and kedai DVD memang lega sket. Even dekat MPH tu semua mags dia balut dengan plastic dapat baca frontpage pon rasa macam best je. Aku memang cita-cita nak jadi librarian la.
Pastu pegi Speedy cari DVD citer yang best pada pandangan mata dan hati aku. Ingat nak beli chick flick je, tapi takder yang menarik. Last2 puas membelek-belek aku amik keputusan nak beli High School Musical 2. Tang2 tu jugak ada ramai customer masuk. Rase segan and malu la pulak nak beli High School Musical (Tengok. Control. Konon tak nak orang kata suka tengok citer camtu). Nak bayar pon segan ngan cashier hensem. Aku pon dah segan sangat tu kononnya, decide nak keluar je la. Time nak keluar tu ternampak la DVD Naoko ni. Yang penting sebab nampak gambar Ueno Juri dengan Haruma Miura. Walau pon takde sinopsis kat belakang DVD tu (ade tapi tulisan Cina) aku gamble je la beli. Pelakon pon macam best je.
And kesudahan ceritanya memang best. Dah la tengok dalam gelap sambil makan Big Apple donut. Memang buruk perangai. But every time after watching "Sports Movie" macam Remember The Titans, Bend It Like Beckham, H2 dorama (just to name a few) mesti akan ada semangat balik. Walau pon sekadar movie/drama, banyok buleh belajar. Insaf pon insaf kadang2.

My Review:Naoko is a story about Naoko Shinomiya (Ueno Juri), a girl with asthma. The movie starts with the scene on the boat where Naoko and her parents on their way to an Island (not sure) for treatment (away from the city for fresh air). This is when Naoko saw Yusuke running at the riverside. His athletic figure captivates her eyes. But, at that time, ( just my opinion ) Naoko feel jealous when saw Yusuke running, so she try to jump out of the boat; actually not so sure, maybe she just sit at the edge (but it looks like she want to jump) before actually felt down into the sea. Yusuke father saved her but he himself drowned because of the big wave. Because of this, Yusuke hates Naoko.
Six years later, they meet each other again at a Marathon competition. Naoko decides to become a manager to help Yusuke, a gifted runner, and they embark on training together to heal their sorrows from the past.
Panjang lagi ceritanya tapi malas nok tulis panjang2, spoil plok kekgi.
Aku suka movie ni. Bukan je ada good values tapi the scenery was beautifully captured. The cheering people, the team, the sea and the most important is Hamura Miura as Yusuke Iki and Tsurube Shofukute as coach Tenzen Nishiura. Hamura san macam professional athlete je dalam movie ni. Ke dia memang atlit? And the marathon event tu pon macam real je. Euno Juri as a girl with ashtma pon jadi (not that I have any doubt about her acting skills). She's always one of my favourites Japanese actress. Overall: Thums up!
My Rate: 8/10
