原作未読。
生見愛瑠さん演じる遠坂綾音の歌が
物語を前に進める様は
あまりに自然で、
同時に、巻き込まれていく
水嶋春人ことの
巻き込まれ具合も自然に映る。
特に出会いのシーン
春人の造った詩に
綾音がすぐにメロディをつけて歌うところは
導入として素晴らしかった。
生見愛瑠さんの歌が本当に良くて
才能を秘めた若者が
少しずつ実力をつけて
駆け上っていく様子に
もの凄い説得力があった。
2025年公開の【知らないカノジョ】は
歌手のmiletさんが主演で
演技を一年近く学んで臨んだ。
この時のmiletさんは素晴らしくて、
逆（歌手ではない人が歌う）は可能なのか？
と思っていたが、
今回、生見愛瑠さんを見て圧倒された。
海外の映画では、
俳優さんが歌に取り組んでは
よく見るし、圧倒的だったが、
日本でも、若い世代で、
こんなふうな作品が出来るんだと
嬉しくなった。
（調べたら監督同じだよ、どうりで）
あと見逃せないのは
道枝駿佑さん演じる春人が
進んで人前に立つでもなく、
どこか自信のない男子の有り様が
あまりにリアルで繊細で、
些細な表情も良く、
生見愛瑠さん演じる遠坂綾音との
コントラストが際立っていた。
予告編ではほとんど
この作品の良い部分は
良くも悪くも伝わってないかも。
とても良い映画でした、是非。
I haven’t read the original work.
The way Ayane Tosaka, played by Meru Nukumi,
moves the story forward with her singing
felt so natural,
and at the same time,
the way Haruto Mizushima gets drawn in
also came across naturally.
Especially the scene where they meet—
the moment Ayane immediately puts a melody
to the poem Haruto created and sings it
was wonderful as an introduction.
Meru Nukumi’s singing was genuinely excellent,
and the way a young person with hidden talent
gradually gains skill
and rises upward
had tremendous persuasive power.
In Unknown Girlfriend, released in 2025,
the singer milet starred in the lead role
after studying acting for nearly a year.
milet was wonderful at that time,
and I had wondered
whether the reverse
(could someone who is not a singer sing well?)
was even possible.
But this time, seeing Meru Nukumi, I was overwhelmed.
In overseas films,
I often see actors seriously taking on singing,
and being overwhelming at it,
but it made me happy to see
that in Japan too, among the younger generation,
a work like this can be made.
(When I looked it up, it turns out it’s the same director—no wonder.)
Also impossible to overlook
is how Haruto, played by Shunsuke Michieda,
is not someone who willingly stands in front of others,
and the way he embodies
a boy who lacks confidence somewhere inside
felt so real and delicate.
Even his smallest expressions were excellent,
and they made the contrast
with Ayane Tosaka, played by Meru Nukumi,
stand out all the more.
The trailer hardly conveys
the good parts of this work,
for better or worse.
It was a very good film—highly recommended.
