Award-winning and best-selling romantic manga series “Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso” by Naoshi Arakawa\u00a0 is now a live-action film \u201cYour Lie in April\u201d starring promising young actors Suzu Hirose and Kento Yamazaki that will open in Philippine cinemas on December 7.<\/p>\n
The much-awaited teen manga drama, \u201cYour Lie in April\u201d stars up-and-coming actors Suzu Hirose and Kento Yamazaki in a coming-of-age story inspired by music. The exciting cast includes Anna Ishii, actress and member of the popular girl group E-Girls and the hot, young actor Taishi Nakagawa. Their heartrending tapestry of love is not to be missed!<\/p>\n
A master of the love story genre, Takehiko Shinjo of \u201cBoku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu (I Give My First Love to You)\u201d and \u201cKiyoku Yawaku (Beyond the Memories)\u201d will direct the film.<\/p>\n
Director Shinjo describes \u201cYour Lie in April\u201d as a story of the wonders and value of love, but also the pain, tears and heartbreak that often accompany it. \u201cMy goal is to deliver a film that leaves the viewers with a warm, gentle feeling. With the charm of Suzu Hirose, the sincerity of Kento Yamazaki, and a young, talented cast including Anna Ishii and Taishi Nakagawa, I hope to weave a tale of brilliant and heartfelt love,\u201d shared Shinjo.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Lie in April\u201d follows a musician with absolute perfection and mechanical precision, piano prodigy Kosie Arima (Yamazaki), is considered a human metronome. But Kosie lost his ability to play when he lost his mother. In April of his sophomore year in high school, Kosei\u2019s childhood friends Tsubaki Sawabe (Anna Ishii) and Ryota Watari (Taishi Nakagawa) introduced him to a violinist named Kaori Miyazono (Hirose). Kaori is a willful free spirit, as ethereal as the clouds in the sky, and Kosei finds himself drawn to her unrestrained, exuberant performance. \u201cKaori aggressively urges Kosei to play with her, forcing him to face the painful memories of his mother. But one day, Kosei discovers that Kaori has a secret.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I read the script, I pictured a beautiful span of time, in which each character battles his or her own, personal issues. In preparing for the role of Kaori, I touched a violin for the first time. It\u2019s still a struggle, but day by day, I am coming to terms with the violin as well as the role. Together with the director and cast, I hope to make \u201cYour Lie in April\u201d a beautiful film brimming with color,\u201d says Hirose of the film.<\/p>\n
Likewise, Kento Yamazaki shared that the film taught him that everyday, life is full of color. \u201cPortraying the struggles and challenges of a musical prodigy is challenging, but with the support of Director Shinjo, the staff and cast members, I tried my best to embody Kosei Arima. The concert scenes in the original manga are so dynamic that you can almost hear the music. I\u2019m new to the piano, but I\u2019m practicing hard every day so I can express Kosei\u2019s flux of emotions in the music. I hope \u201cYour Lie in April\u201d adds color to the viewer\u2019s world as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Get your hankies and tissues ready for the painful truth masked in the sweetest of lies that will break your heart in \u201cYour Lie in April\u201d when it opens in cinemas on December 7 nationwide from Pioneer Films.<\/p>\n
