Hi everyone.  I have Tinnitus and Hyperacusis at times, and my parents are hard of hearing, so this Japanese dorama is very important to me.  

Reality really bites. We cannot expect everybody to understand us and accept us, so we should appreciate those that do.

The love story of Nobuyuki is beautiful, but I join those who think the ending could have been extended or something. Anyways, I won't write a review anymore.  I will just add some links below, and the movie from youtube(since they haven't brought it down yet, I guess it's OK).

Tinnitus is when you experience ringing or other 

noises in one or both of your ears. The noise you 

hear when you have tinnitus isn't caused by an 

external sound, and other people usually can't hear 

it. Tinnitus is a common problem. It affects about 

15% to 20% of people, and is especially common in older adults.Peb 4, 2021 (source)
 

What Is Hyperacusis? Hyperacusis is 

a hearing disorder that makes it hard to deal with 

everyday sounds. You might also hear it called 

sound or noise sensitivity. If you have it, 

certain sounds may seem unbearably loud even 

though people around you don't seem to notice them. Hyperacusis is rare.Ago 25, 2020 (source)

The Movie

from Letterboxd:

Review by minnie melts ★★★

Need a change of pace after had watched too many dark films. This is a pretty sweet movie, too bad the plot ground is too wide to be all covered in a +/- 100 mins. There are many unresolved problems, like the harassment at the girl(I agree with her because the higher-ups and her officemates didn't seem to care...thanks to the guard for saving her. Argh!), Rika’s office, or how both leads, Rika and Shin, had misunderstanding towards the other coworker whom she thought is dating him(yes, i waiting for her to ask him about her). Or how Shin’s father and his memory loss about his second son. And how will Rika and Shin relationship develop from the ending point. I wish they could have dig the problems and issues deeper, thus give me, as a viewer, a bit more satisfying ending.

VOLTES V LEGACY CINEMATIC experience

Both photos are from GMA 7 FAIR USE (above and below) I'm the one with the kind of skewed mask From Amazon Fair Use Super Electromagnetic Machine V It's about time to show the world that yes, the Filipinos can make world class phenomenal epic hits that we can be proud of, and so what if it's based on a Japanese Mecha Robot Anime series? I am quite sure that after this we can create our own, maybe after showing Mazinger Z, Daimos, and a whole lot more...  (🙏🙏🙏) Or maybe the other way around.  Make our own first then... 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡 There were lots of bashing coming from Filipinos when this was still on the drawing board. A lot of people could not fathom that the Philippines could produce something that could be compared to Transformers(also from TOEI Animation) or any Marvel MCU franchises. People were saying things like "paasa" "hype" "don't do it if you would just disappoint us" and lots of unmentionable things that are not worth our ti...

THE READER(2008) via NETFLIX

It was the year 2009 when I first heard about this film, most probably during The Academy Awards or a little after that. My mom and dad watched it and loved it then, but I wasn't really interested in watching it. Well, during that time my movie experiences were limited to films my brother RJ could be interested in watching or things my movie buddies were interested in watching. At least that was what I knew then, none of them wanted to watch it... or maybe I didn't have the gall to ask. Now, more than ten years later, I found myself watching a movie about a man (played by RALPH FIENNES) about my age looking back on his teenage years (played by eighteen-year-old DAVID KROSS). Oh boy, what an experience he had. Or should I say experiences? A woman in her 30s seduces a young boy of fifteen. Her foreplay was, if one could call it that, was making the lad dig coal so that when he was done with it, she would run a bath then... well, their affair would begin. Why is it called THE RE...

Bu Iste Bir Yalnizlik(literal translation: This is a Solicity) A.K.A. WAY OF LONELINESS or THERE IS A LONELINESS IN IT-2013

  SOURCE Directed by  Ketche Writing Credits  (in alphabetical order)    Burak Göral ... (screenplay) Burak Göral Tuna Kiremitçi ... (novel) CAST from youtube : Mehmet ( Engin Altan Düzyatan ), who played in a rock band a few years ago, is a lonely man who divorced his wife and left music. The only thing that connects her to life is her daughter Ezgi, whom she can see once a week. Mehmet has been living in the same apartment with his friends Ayşe ( Özgü Namal ) and his wife for years. One night, there was a violent fight between Ayşe and her husband and his wife left the house. Mehmet knocks on Ayşe's door to learn the situation. The fates of Mehmet and Ayşe have changed after that second. I'll keep this short and simple: This is a very enjoyable movie, at least for me. I love the little girl who plays Ezgi(Merve Ates) and of course, I love the lead actor, even if he's not my Turkish crush(it's Ozcan Deniz). I love how he depicted how Mehmet was struggling to ...
