Hidamari ga Kikoeru (2017)

Almost perfect short movie, dealing sensitively with both the problems faced by the hearing impaired in building a bridge to others to express their deepest feelings and BL. Very brave to tackle both subjects in one movie. Very well acted, timing almost perfect. I was not clear whether each had the same depth of feelings for the other at the end of the movie, but perhaps this was left purposely ambivalent. The Japanese seem to be able to produce these very accomplished movies with a refinement of feeling and mood which is difficult to find elsewhere, though both the Japanese and Korean film industries are imho far ahead of those in other Asian countries in terms of production values. Will definitely re-watch in the future.

This is my second time writing a review so cut me some slack please
So this movie is adapted from the manga of the same name and i absolutely love that manga
it is like a breath of fresh air from the most of the serious drama's out there
So,the movie starts with Sugihara Kohei, a college student who has distanced himself from others unconsciously because he is hard of hearing
The one thing that the film touches upon and I find quite good is that Disabled people also deserve to be treated normally like others and do not want any kind of special treatment
The actors did a good job especially Tawada Hideya-the person who played the role of Sugihara Kohei
also they did not distort the manga at all so that is quite a positive point
also altho i liked it but i don't think that it is a movie you can't watch more than once
so it does deserves to be watched at least once if you are into BL's and stuff
I'll leave the links of the manga and the movie below so do make sure to give it a try!
thank you

I think this movie was well acted. It highlights how the ML is “different” from everyone else, and how his fellow classmates kept their distance. You can almost feel the pain the ML experiences when he is shunned because of not being able to hear clearly. Then a ray of sunshine appears in his life. This “ray” doesn’t care about the ML’s disability, and only sees people as equals, no matter who they are. This starts a close relationship between the two. This is a very touching movie about a hearing disability, and how society reacts to it. Too much sympathy makes the ML feel weak, and too little sympathy makes him feel left out.

Absolutely beautiful

This movie is now one of my favorites! It was perfect, beautiful, heartwarming, and I absolutely loved it! The story was so unique and sweet. The actors were very cute, not only in their appearances, but in their performances as well. The story was beautifully told. Kohei’s struggles, and deep despair over his hearing loss, was absolutely heartbreaking to watch. I loved how supportive and caring Taiichi was towards Kohei, even sticking up for him multiple times to other people who made fun of Kohei behind his back. Their budding relationship was so sweet and wonderful to watch. Definitely a lot of “Awe!!” moments. This movie is so sweet, and beautiful, and again, perfect! I loved it! I definitely recommend watching this as a BL fan!

I had never heard of this movie or the manga. I just randomly saw it on my plan to watch list and decided to give it a go. The story surprised me in a positive way because it didn't follow the usual BL plot line. I don't know if the illness was well-portrayed because I'm not in a position to evaluate that but it was very endearing and heart-breaking. I also liked both characters and could relate to them. The acting wasn't awkward at all between the main leads, even if they were inexperienced at the time. I really wish there was a second movie because I'd like to know if they end up together or they just stay friends. Either way, I'm not upset^^
The cinematography was really good, in my opinion. Even the title fits the whole rainy atmosphere somehow.
A rather short movie but I certainly don't regret watching it!

LOVE IN ANY KIND! ♥️

What a unique storyline out of all the BL I ever watched... What a nice and eye opening movie raising awareness with people with hearing kinds of disabilities. Such a wonderful story showing us how to handle those kind of situation regardless of incapabilities of a person. Teaching us how to show compassion and how to show love in all kinds of way. 1hr is not enough. I was just hoping that they will revive this and make a SEASON 2! This deserve all the recognition and hype at this Era! ?♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

amazing fresh bl movie ..shounen ai is still ongoing .its full of slice of life and understanding btw to male leads and get attracted towards ech other because of their care politness helpful nature . i seriously donot understand the pyschology how person can be gay or lesbian .or its innate or made but while watching shounen ai not yoai, firstly its too different from yoai(search the meaning of both terms). its includes deep rooted character development with social family and their overall developmnet .it doesnt show mere concidence of falling in love with anyother male randomly ....this gives me fresh vibes soothing environment , actors acting was not over or less its according to the character needs at that stuations.
it shows how without social gender categorys one person can fall in love if that person really care for u ,understand and take the life problems as a first hand experience not a problem ......i m straight ahha but if a girl who really cares for me be with me in my good or bad time i may be i may be !!!! may be yes fall in love with her ..many people doesnt get in love becoz of smartness,looks ,personality different people may think diffrent and take things perception in diffrnt ways ...so i think falling in love without gender or sexual oriantion must nott be big issue in our society ...we all r humans .we love nature society family cat dogs so y not we can love same gender ...just becoz they were unable to proceed their offsprings .....? i donot know man its debatble topic btwn wide thinkers and narrow thinkers , society and religion,politics and people.
i love bl movie or anyother movies like this

It feels like I can hear only YOUR voice..

Watching the movie after I've already watched the series made me see sides of the story I didn't think I could discover and gain more respect for Kohei and Taichi as characters.

The movie in itself was a beautiful story and represented the experiences and struggles of those with hearing disabilities while having an incredible bond between the leads develop steadily.
When you look at it as a parallel to the series, you can fill in some gaps that I think would have been left up to interpretation in the movie and have more dialogue for certain scenes in the series that I thought could have been explained better or rather, clearly.

This was a great watch, for the story, the emotions, the thoughts it provoked and simply for Kohei and Taichi ♡

"the inability to hear, it is not even your fault!"

what can I say, this line has a deep effect on me. i really can relate to what Kohei feels.

the first part of the story is a bit dragging but as the story continues I truly can relate to Kohei, i mean his feeling of isolation because not everyone can understand inability to hear properly. his condition is really not easy, people tend to criticize people with inability to hear properly because some people are really hard to hear. but it is nice to have someone who is patient enough to understand the situation, someone who will keep trying and seeing the good in you rather than seeing the inability to hear. some people would not understand the shame of wearing a hearing aid. people will be ashamed of having you around because they don't want to repeat what they said.
but at least Kohei still has Taiichi.

over all this story is quite touching and an eye opener for the public to understand people with inability to hear properly (I won't call it it a disability because it's really not)

So I haven't read the manga (but probably I will) and let me tell you people it's a beautiful story. I had no idea what was about but I was preasantly surprised. The pace is good and both main characteres are well defined. Good work dealing with Kohei's hearing issues and how Taichii is able to help him. I mean the building relationship is so well done. Taichi was adorable and he understands what Kohei is going through. I think Kohei's actor is outstanding . I hope there would be a second part and that this movie could have been longer. I would happily rewatch this one.

A beautiful story

Wow what a beautiful movie. Saw the ad on Utube and when i came here it was on my list to watch and so happy that i did. The cast & crew did an amazing job on this movie as it was beautiful done. Being a young guy in school and waking up after a cold /fever and not being able to hear is a scary thing. I can relate my younger brother was 17 when he got sick with a high fever at first he didnt tell us cause he thought his ear was clogged, but turned out he lost 80% hearing in right ear a 25% in left. He acted just like Kohei distancing himself from friends, but they wouldn't let him give up on himself or them. He's 56 now and still doing good.
This movie did a beautiful job showing how if people just took the time to understand a person and what they needed rather than assuming thats sign language was the answer. Tachaii friendship with kohei started off due to hunger then taking noted and then a protector. It developes into a one sided love nonetheless a friendship continues or more???
Best line ever " Its not your fault that you cant hear" So true
