This is not a movie simply for Arashi fans--this is a movie for anybody who loves good movies and truly moving stories. These are not 'members of a boyband' acting in this movie, these are fantastic ACTORS making wonderful characters come to life. By mid-movie you forget 'Arashi' and become wrapped up in the lives of these five young men who are, along with their country, on the cusp of their future.

Description
Back then we were always laughing--laughing to keep ourselves from crying. Director Isshin Inudo ("Joze to Tora to Sakanatachi") and the members of pop group Arashi bring you a sad, nostalgic story of dreams, hope, freedom, and adolescent tragedy based on the legendary manga of the same name. Set in Tokyo during the 1950's, the members of Arashi tell a timeless tale of dreams, hope, and frustration, meetings and departures.
Special Feature / Bonus Track: limited footage of Arashi, trailer, TV spot, character correlation chart, outline (still), cast & staff profile

If you're watching this expecting it to be Pikanchi Triple, then stop now. This movie is meant to be a serious film set in a time when many Japanese had high hopes and many fears about the future after seeing the devastation of war. For anyone who is accustomed to Japanese cinematography and who have seen other films about Japan in the 1960's, I highly suggest watching this regardless of whether or not you are an Arashi fan.
Having seen the Pika*nichi movies, I'd expected something a little crazy. This movie is quirky, to be sure, but not quite as absurd as Arashi's former films. It retains all of the heart of them though. Kiiroi Namida is not for the easily bored - it's extremely slow, and meanders through the lives of the five main characters, slowly weaving a gentle little story about growing up and facing life. Nothing dramatic really happens, and it's not always realistic, but it's charming if you like 'slice of life' films. The setting is fascinating too. It's Ninomiya that brings all the acting talent to this film, but the others give decent performances too. Ohno is possibly the acting 'weak link', but he's so adorable, it's easy to overlook that (and his paintings are wonderful;D ). I do feel like it possibly ran a little longer than necessary. But it's 2.5 hours of pure Arashi, and for plenty of fans, that will be all that matters. For the rest, well, there's always fast-forward.
