About This DVD
Two teenagers fall for the same boy with unexpected consequences in this popular
comedy drama from Japan.
Hana (Anne Suzuki) and Arisu (Yu Aoi) are a pair of 15-year-old girls who have
been best friends for years. Arisu, the more outgoing of the two, has developed
a crush on a boy and they begin dating. So that Hana won't feel left out, Arisu
fixes her up with Masa (Tomohiro Kaku), one of her boyfriend's pals. However,
after a few months, the bloom is off the rose for Arisu and her beau, while
things are going swimmingly for Hana and Masa. Making matters worse for Arisu is
the fact she's become quite infatuated with Masa, and one day while she's
following him home from school, she sees him accidentally walk into a wall. Masa
is knocked cold for a moment, and when he awakes, he sees Arisu, who attempts to
convince him that she's actually his girlfriend...something he doesn't recall
thanks to a mild dose of amnesia brought on by the accident, according to Arisu.
Written and directed by Shunji Iwai, who created the international success All
About Lily Chou-Chou, Hana to Arisu began as a series of candy commercials and
became so popular as an expanded series of short subjects available online that
Iwai adapted them into a feature.
