First Love (2022)
You will always be inside my heart
First love is the most unforgettable memory for many people. For Harumichi, Yae is a person he will never forget in his life. She is his first love and the only love of his life. Even though Yae has forgotten their past, he still put Yae in the first place inside his heart. (poor Tsunemi...). This series is named by Utada Hikaru's famous song "First Love". The plot also revolves around the lyrics of this song.
This series takes 20 years to tell what Harumichi and Yae have experienced in these years. The high school journey of Harumichi and Yae is my favorite storyline. Director Yuri Kanchiku perfectly showed the youthfulness and ambiguity of the first love, so that the audience can also feel the simple and happy love between them. Unfortunately, after a car accident, they have gone on different paths since then, but as Otaro said to Yae at the railway station, some things are destined to happen. Even if they have not had any contact in the past 20 years, fate will make them meet again in the end. For me, one of the dialogues that influenced me in this episode was when Otaro said to Yae at the railway station "you don't run, Yae! Look forward. Take a breath and go! Even if you get hurt, or embarrassed, in life, you have to take a plunge." If we give up easily, we may miss the most important person or thing in our life. No matter what the result is, we should try our best. So we won't regret it. It's the same for Harumichi, since he thinks that Yae is the most important person in his life, so he studies desperately, just for the chance to go to the same high school as Yae. In the end, he also succeeded. In reality, in order to be with the one we love, are we not the same as Harumichie? Even if there is only a 0.1% chance of success, we will continue to work hard to create opportunities for the other party to notice us.
Facing the one you love, "Look forward. Take a breath and go! Even if you get hurt, or embarrassed, in life, you have to take a plunge! Cause in the end, The one you love will always be inside your heart.
