"Singing Soul" is a youth inspirational film. In fact, there are countless youth inspirational movies made in Japan every year, and there is nothing new about them, but this movie is quite unique. The theme of the film revolves around singing, but it does not have the long-winded preaching that always aspires to be a movie, nor does it have an overly sensational and passionate plot. It should be said that this is a light inspirational movie. It uses a girl's perspective to show those traditional themes that have long been poorly filmed, and it wastes no time in adding some humorous elements, which is lighthearted and funny and moves people. Since it is a film about "singing", natural music has become another important element of the film. The chorus repertoire in the film includes both classical and pop music, many of which are classic works that are familiar to the audience, bringing an inexplicable sense of intimacy to the audience. In the film, Xia Fan created the image of a beautiful young girl with an angelic face who loves to sing. In addition, Nobuyuki Teruya, who plays the Yunokawa High School choir leader in the film, is a comedian, and it goes without saying that he has great comedy skills.
In fact, the so-called "song soul" is definitely not one person's music. Everyone sings together, feels the charm of music together, and grows together is the real "soul of singing". In the beautiful spring, when everything revives, it might be a good choice to occasionally watch this refreshing youth inspirational movie. (Sohu review)
