Synopsis
Hiiragi Kashima and Shizusumi "Shizu" Yagi's band "syh" is set to debut, but they run into trouble when their support guitarist leaves. Although Hiiragi often clashes with Ritsuka Uenoyama—the smug boyfriend of his childhood friend Mafuyu Satou—Hiiragi convinces him to perform as their temporary member. Despite their friction, Hiiragi acknowledges Uenoyama's talent and respects his hard work—to the point of asking him to complete an old song that Mafuyu's ex-boyfriend, Yuki Yoshida, left behind. In between writing, recording, and filming a music video, Hiiragi comes to terms with his love for the aloof Shizu and wrestles with how to convey his feelings. Meanwhile, "given"—composed of Uenoyama, Mafuyu, and their bandmates Haruki Nakayama and Akihiko Kaji—receives an offer to debut as well. The members are ready and beyond excited, save for Mafuyu, who has never before thought about playing music professionally. As Uenoyama attempts to understand Yuki and replicate his unique sound, Mafuyu steps back to ponder over the looming changes in his life, fearing what the uncertain future may bring.

Yep, I read the manga, watched the anime and the movies, and even though I knew what the outcome was but this movie was really mess for me.I felt uneasy constantly throughout the movie. No one talked to each other properly, why didn't Mafuyu go and talk to Uenoyama when he was constantly feeling uneasy about the past? Why does Uenoyama have to learn everything from others? (I feel sorry for him :() and I felt like their relationship was regressing instead of progressing.) Akihiko and Haruki, since their relationship was already covered in the first movie, we see short but happy scenes of their relationshipin this movie. And the main characters in this movie are Shizusumi and Hiiragi. It was definitely disturbing, using Shizusumi's character and personality as an excuse is ridiculous, there were obvious elements of harassment in the last scenes and it bothered me. (I can't look at them as happy and pure love scenes, sorry.) I think that Shizusumi made Hiiragi feel uneasy with his erroneous thoughts that he thought without listening to anything, only with his outside observations and with the words and actions he said as a result. But no matter what, they love and value each other, there is no mistake in that. Ahh, everything in this movie is so complicated, incomplete and everyone has misunderstood everything so much that I can't write a review right now! I wish Mafuyu would openly talk about his feelings with Uenoyama this movie.( I feel like it's been unnecessarily prolonged.) Akihiko and Haruki are in a healthy relationship, I'm quite happy for that, but I want to see them a little more.. little bit.. *Go and read the manga, it's less confusing to watch once you know everything.
