Plot
Tears for You is a love story about two step-siblings, Yota (Satoshi Tsumabuki) and Kaoru (Nagasawa). Long ago, Yota's mother (Kyoko Koizumi) married Kaoru's jazz-playing father (Tatsuya Nakamura), effectively merging the two families. Unfortunately, Kaoru's father skipped town, and Yota's mother passed away, but not before imparting a dying wish to her young son to take care of Kaoru. In the meantime, the two young children were raised by Yota's grandmother on a small island off the coast of Okinawa. When Yota came of age, he took on a role not just as a brother but as a surrogate father of sorts for Kaoru, always working long hours on any number of jobs in order to support his sister's education.

Lyrics to "Nada Sou Sou"
furui arubamu mekuri, 'arigatou'tte tsubuyaita
itsumo itsumo mune no naka, hagemashite kureru hito yo
harewataru hi mo, ame no hi mo, ukabu ano egao
omoide tooku asetemo
omokage sagashite, yomigaeru hi wa
nada sousou
ichiban boshi ni inoru. sore ga watashi no kuse ni nari
yugure no miageru sora, kokoro ippai, anata sagasu
kanashimi nimo, yorokobi nimo, omou ano egao
anata no basho kara watashi ga mietara
kitto itsuka aeru to shinji ikite yuku
harewataru hi mo, ameno hi mo, ukabu ano egao
omoide tooku asetemo
samishikute, koishikute, kimi eno omoi
nada sousou
aitakute, aitakute, kimi e no omoi
nada sousou

Turned the pages of an old album, and murmured, "Thank you."
Always, the person who has always encouraged me in my mind
On the clear day, in the rainy day, that smiling face which comes to mind
Even if my memories lose its luster too far
in the day when it returned to me while I sought your image
my eyes are filled with tears
Wish upon the first star of evening. It became my habit
And, as I gaze up at the evening sky, I seek you with all of my heart
In my sadness and joy, memory of that smiling face
If you can look me from your place
I live to believe that we will surely meet again someday
On the clear day, in the rainy day, that smiling face which comes to mind
Even if my memories lose its luster too far
with feeling lonesome, with yearning for you, and with the memory of you
my eyes are filled with tears
I want to see you. I want to see you again. And, with the memory of you
I'm choked with tears falling fast

i expected more romantic love. tears didn't pour like crazy, but the tsumabuki's fantastic performance of brotherly love is touching and memorable. the development tugged at my heartstring a bit at a time. the song "nada sou sou" was a great help in making me remember this movie every once in a while.

It is a sad story, so we may be grateful for what we have and hold in our life.
I like watching movies/dramas which allow me to see life from different perspective.

It'd be so much a better watch if the girl somewhat "looks" younger than him.
