Two different students - a successful but aloof academic and a rebellious but kindhearted delinquent - form a friendship through their love for music. Director:Takahiro Miki| Stars:Yuri Chinen, Dean Fujioka, Nana Komatsu, Erina Mano Votes:332 The story itself has an amazing pace, and in my opinion, has the perfect combination of romance, drama and music. The developments feel very natural and there are no fillers. The only 'complain' I can have from the story is that the ending might feel a little unsatisfying. 46.Telekinese(2018)Not Rated|101 min|Action, Comedy, Fantasy
