Ayu & Koizora (Sky of Love)

So I was reading the original novel of the movie Koizora starring Aragaki Yui and Miura Haruma. And I was pretty surprised that the song Who... by ayu was heavily mentioned in the novel itself. It's actually a pity that they didn't really used the song within the movie itself (the theme song was Heavenly Day by Aragaki Yui and Tabidachi no Uta by Mr Children).

Don't you guys think so too...? Haha

Edit: for those people who are not too familiar with the movie, the following is the official website

The story of the movie talks about a high school girl falling in love with her schoolmate and the things they went thru together like gang rape, teenage pregnancy and terminal illness of the guy, which leads to the part where the guy broke off with her but they got back together after knowing that the guy did so because he didn't his illness to affect her life... kind of the normal love story, but it was based on a cell phone novel that sold 10 million cellphone copy (is that how I shld but it as?) and 1 million physical copy in novel form, and it's a true life story of the author.

Anyway, ayu's Who... was mentioned in this story as the song that contained the memories of the couple (which the guy likes the song a lot)

LoL... I am pretty obsessed with this relationship so I did a research...

According to this website, someone did vote on who should sing the theme song of the movie, and ayu gt the highest number of votes. The reason mentioned was that Who... was being mentioned a lot of times in the novel itself, the second being YUI as she has the highest number of male voters and theird being Mr Children

Yeah.

I'm pretty sure "Who..." was voted like, the best movie theme song in Japanese history or something last year or something? I dunno. I could be wrong ...

Someone might be doing a translation online. I'd look on Google.

That's not right at all. XD

There was a vote for the best song that fit Koizora, and Ayu got #1 to Mr. Children's.. something or other song. However, Mr. Children ended up doing the movie theme song I think, and Ayu got a place on the Koizora special CD-thing with Who... and some works by independent bands. If you look up Koizora at AHS, you'll find the ranking.

I bought the books when the movie was just released... I think I paid around $30 for the 2 books (the novel comes in Part 1 and 2)...

I think there's still the stock in Kino... try asking the staff there...

I think only Japan, taiwan and Singapore had screened it, not sure about others. But i doubt they will still want to screen it, the DVD is about to release in Japan
