The ultra popular Japanese manga series Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April) together with its anime adaptation is also getting a live-action film adaption this December! This is great news for all of the fans who enjoyed both manga and anime. The film is probably going to pull at your heartstrings as hard as the original series did; therefore, prepare the tissues on time!

THE CAST

The rising star Yamazaki Kento stars as the traumatized pianist Arima Kosei while the young actress Hirose Suzu stars as the talented violinist Miyazono Kaori

An E-girls pop group member Ishii Anna will play Kosei's childhood friend Tsubaki Sawabe, and Nakagawa Taishi will play their friend Ryouta Watari.

The film director Takehiko Shinjou is known for his numerous live-action film adaptations of popular manga series.

In the original manga's story, the two characters are junior high school students, but Kosei and Kaori will be second-year high school students in the film (probably to avoid the awkward age gap). Yamazaki and Hirose began practicing piano and violin about half a year before the start of filming.

THE PLOT

Arima Kousei is known as a piano prodigy until he experiences a mental breakdown due to his mother's death. From that moment on, he is unable to touch the piano and he sees the world around him in monotone. However, everything is changed when he meets a free spirited violinist Kaori Miyazono, who teaches him that music can indeed change the world and heal your scars.
