Tengoku no honya has a very interesting plot. Everyone has 100 years to live. So if you die before living for 100 years, you will be sent to Heaven to live out the remaining years. After which, you will be be reborn. There is a bookstore in heaven where the owner can travel freely between heaven and earth. Once in a while he brings a person who is not dead yet, up to heaven. Usually these people have some 'unfinished' business to settle.
Watched this with bf but he finds the movie too slow, so he stoppped watching halfway. I was very intrigued by the storyline so I went on to watch it by myself. I didn't regret it.
Yuko Takeuchi is great in this movie. Her acting as dual-character is very good. As a quiet and shy pianist and as the vibrant and lively niece of the pianist. Two different character which she played very well. The storyline is as unbelievable as
Il Mare or
Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu (which
Pikachu reviewed earlier) and so maybe that's why girls enjoy this movie more than guys. And did I mention that the piano pieces were wonderful? Too bad there is no OST for this soundtrack. But there is a DVD MV which I managed to locate after searching high and low for it. It's available under my videos link. So do watch it! :)

sounds interesting... does this take place in another world?
nope, it's happening in this world. you can get the movie from clubbox kdwluverz to watch. it's pretty good i say.
i wanna watch it too :) but clubbox is complicated =_-; the best i can do is bt. i can't even use irc ^^;
clubbox is not complicated! it's actually quite easy to use. esp if you understand korean. erm, i'm assuming you do ;p
even a non korean like me can navigate quite easily. there's a very good guide over at soompi, you should check it out.
That sounds really intriguing... I'm sure it it's you thinking a lot.
I'm sure it gets* you thinking a lot. (Oopsie.)
