0 = Watch it only if you want to watch a movie and you've ran out of good movies to watch)
I think there's someone else who'd be perfect for Kitano Kii's role. I'm not saying that she's not a good actress. It's her looks. She looked too innocent or too simple for the role. Kitano Kii faded into the background especially with the pretty manager and keyboard player around. Jin's acting wasn't that mind-blowing either. I can see better actors doing it like Yamapi and Kamenashi Kazuya.
The movie was also trying to tell a lot of stories at once. I didn't really understand what it was trying to be. Was it a love story? Or a story of success? Success story of the band? Or of Kitano Kii's role? There were a lot of different stories that didn't have a clear connection. The stories were connected but then the connection didn't have a clear story. They should've focused on one story more. I would've preferred if they went solid on the success story of the band. The makers were trying to fit the love angle in but it just didn't blend well with the rest of the story.
The ending was good though. I love watching Japanese movies because of their endings. It's almost always "guess your own ending". Other people might not want that kind of movie but I do.
Oh and before I forget. The movie's soundtrack is amazing. I fell in love with "Hatachi no Sensou".
