Till We Meet Again on the Lily Hill

Movies watched in 2024

Till We Meet Again on the Lily Hill (2023, Japan)

Director: Yoichi Narita

Writers: Masahiro Yamaura & Yoichi Narita (based on the novel by Natsue Shiomi)

Mini-review:

I had been curious about Till We Meet Again on the Lily Hill for a while, since I like the two leads quite a bit and it became one of the most successful romance movies of the decade in Japan. Unfortunately, I found it disappointing. The romance didn't make me feel much at all, and the story is thematically muddled and indecisive. It clearly has a anti-war message, and tries to criticize the whole kamikaze program through the main character. However, at the same time, it seems to glorify and justify the same things it wants to condemn. The cast does a great job and makes the movie watchable, but not even the acting can stop it from being underwhelming.

Sur la colline où poussent encore ces fleurs

Dessin de Daichi Matsuse et scénario de Natsue Shiomi.

Manga en 2 tomes sorti en France chez Doki-Doki - Bonne pioche !!!

Un manga qui ne peut pas laisser forcément indifférent car nous en connaissons tous la fin et pourtant on a parfois envie de croire que l'histoire puisse se réécrire.

Tout part d'un fait vécu par de nombreuses personnes, l'envie de ne plus aller à l'école et où pense que cela n'est pas utile de connaître son histoire. C'est le cas de Yuri, 14 ans qui en marre de tout, de ses profs, de sa mère, de son existence tout simplement...

Un jour où elle fugue de chez elle, elle s'endort dans un abri pour se réveiller dans une autre époque. C'est le début d'une nouvelle existence et surtout une confrontation réelle à l'histoire du Japon lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Elle va rencontrer de belles personnes telle que Mme Tsuru, la restauratice et surtout le jeune soldat de 20 ans, Akira dont son avenir est condamné à se sacrifier pour l'empereur.

Yuri connaît la fin de l'histoire et sur ces sacrifices "inutiles" (?) mais c'est surtout une nouvelle vie qui transforme l'avenir de Yuri.

Der de couverture : « Yuri est une lycéenne de nature plutôt rebelle et solitaire, en conflit avec sa mère. Un soir de dispute, elle fugue et s’endort dans un abri antiaérien. Elle se révolte alors dans le Tokyo de 1945, en pleine guerre. Elle y rencontre des personnes auxquelles elle s’attache très vite, dont un soldat (Akira) voué à piloter l’un des avions-suicides utilisés par l’armée, Yuri est bouleversée en découvrant le quotidien de la population à cette époque.

Alors qu’elle sait pertinemment que le Japon finira par capituler, elle doit garder ce lourd secret pour elle et souffre de voir chaque jour des soldats se préparer à mourir pour leur pays. Un terrible conflit intérieur qui la pousse à tout faire pour convaincre celui qu’elle aime de pas partir le jour venu…

Mais y parviendra-t-elle ? »

Happy birthday, Syuko Shiomi!

Today in Japan, December 12th, is Syuko Shiomi’s birthday! Voiced by Ru Thing (ルゥ・ティン), Syuko is an 18 year old from Kyoto. Footloose, playful, and laid-back, Syuko used to work in her parent’s Wagashiya shop, but was kicked out after an argument with them. Needing to fend for herself, Syuko became a waitress and started donating blood as a “hobby” to scrounge up any money she could. The Producer ends up recruiting Syuko, who then began to live in the production’s dormitories. Although her parents kicked her out for being lazy, Syuko has said that she’s on good terms with them.

Besides donating blood, Syuko also enjoys darts. She’s shown to be very easygoing, and does things at her own pace. She can be a bit lazy at times, however she is relatively active during the daytime. She’s admitted before that she doesn’t know if she can be as sexy as Minami Nitta. Syuko has also told Sachiko Koshimizu that she cannot swim, however it hasn’t been confirmed if that fact is true or not. Syuko was also voted the Cinderella Girl in the 4th Cinderella Girls Election, and actually gained a voice from it; the first idol ever to do so.

Syuko has two solo songs, Ao no Ichibanboshi (青の一番星/The Blue First Star) and Private Sign. She also sings a cover of Reset in the jewleries series. Other songs she sings in include Absolute NIne, Bi ni Iri Sai o Ugatsu (美に入り彩を穿つ/Into The Most Beautiful Colors), GIRLS in the FRONTIER (ガールズ・イン・ザ・フロンティア), NATSU KOI (夏恋 -NATSU KOI-/Summer Love), Saite Jewel (咲いてJewel/Blooming Jewel) and Tulip.

To celebrate Syuko’s birthday, play some darts or donate some blood! Happy birthday Syuko!
