Description

The unprecedented best-selling novel is finally brought to the screen. In 1987, a boy and a girl experienced the fullest love of their youth. Now, in the present day, the past and the present intersect to weave an ultimate love story that is both deeply pure and profoundly heartbreaking. Blue sky, red earth, Australia... 1987. A 17-year-old boy, Sakutaro "Saku" Matsumoto (Takayuki Yamada), stands alone as memories of the days he spent with a girl return to him. Saku clutches a handful of ivory-colored sand, and tears stream down his cheeks. He awakens in 2004, Japan, with traces of those tears still on his face. Now 34 years old, Saku (Naoto Ogata), a research doctor at a university hospital, collapses from overwork. His close friend Aki (Sachiko Sakurai) visits him during his hospitalization and brings the accumulated mail that arrived while he was away. Among it is a postcard from his former teacher Yatabe (Yuki Matsushita), informing him that the high school he once attended is scheduled to be demolished and inviting him to see it one last time. Since leaving for Tokyo after graduation, Saku has not returned to his hometown even once in the past 16 years. As a teenager, he devoted his entire heart and soul to a single girl he loved with absolute purity, and after losing her, he has lived quietly while avoiding the pain of her death. At 17, Saku was an ordinary, innocent boy who was closer to his nearby grandfather Kentaro (Tatsuya Nakadai) than to his father Junichiro (Katsumi Takahashi). In the early summer of his second year of high school, Saku speaks for the first time with Aki Hirose (Haruka Ayase), a beautiful, top-performing, athletic classmate. It was the beginning of their destined pure love. All 11 episodes included. Special features (163 min) include: Special Edition: "17 Years After Graduation"; making documentary; memorial VTR; wrap-party footage; scenery photo gallery; Australia aerial footage; producer's curated bloopers; promotional spots; non-credit opening sequence; trailer collection. These bonus features are the same as those included in the DVD-BOX (UASD-75006) released on January 1, 2005. Some footage originally broadcast in 4:3 has been presented in 16:9 with black side pillars added. This product is identical to the edition released on September 18, 2009.
