[New, unopened item] The cumulative circulation of Osamu Koshigaya's mega-bestselling novel "Himawari to Kanojo" (published by Shinchosha Bunko) has exceeded 1 million copies. It is an eternal fantastic love story that brings tears of surprise and joy. This original work has been adapted into a highly anticipated film by director Takahiro Miki, a master of romantic youth films who also directed "Solanin" and "Bokura ga Ita (Part 1 & Part 2)". Jun Matsumoto, appearing in a film for the first time in 5 years since "Hana Yori Dango Final," plays the lead role, and Juri Ueno, appearing in a film for the first time in 3 years since "Nodame Cantabile: The Final Score (Part 1 & Part 2)," plays the heroine. The shocking final scene is a hot topic. The movie "Himawari to Kanojo" (Distributor: Toho/Asmik Ace) will be released nationwide in over 300 theaters starting October 12, 2013. The original soundtrack being released this time features select tracks from the film's score by artist and violinist mio-sotido, who is collaborating with director Takahiro Miki again. It also includes a cover of the theme song "Suteki Janai Ka" as a bonus track. Director Takahiro Miki stated, "The film could not have been completed without this music." The exquisite musical pieces, which perfectly recreate the atmosphere of the film itself, vividly bring to life the famous scenes of "Mao and Kosuke" played by Jun Matsumoto and Juri Ueno. (All tracks are instrumental.) The theme song "Hikari to Kimi e no Requiem" by Tatsuro Yamashita (Warner Music Japan) and the theme song "Suteki Janai Ka" by The Beach Boys (Universal Music) are also currently on sale on CD. [Comment from Director Takahiro Miki] mio's music always feels familiar and warm, even though it's the first time I've heard it. It shines a light into the depths of dark, closed-off memories, vividly illuminating the emotions I once held. In this film "Himawari to Kanojo," which moves back and forth between the present and flashbacks, mio's music acts as a bridge across time, seamlessly connecting those moments, and the melody eloquently speaks of the flow of time that is not depicted in the main film. The film could not have been completed without mio's music. Please immerse yourself in this wonderful music and enjoy the world of "Himawari to Kanojo." Takahiro Miki About the Artist mio-sotido After graduating from music university, under a different name, she worked as a violinist and strings arranger on artist recordings, concerts, live performances, film music, music programs, dramas, commercials, and sound effects. Many are currently being broadcast. Under the name mio-sotido, she composes music and is involved in composing and arranging music for films and short movies (including director Miki's works "Kansetou" and "Irodori Himura," and director Tsukikawa's works).
