The first scene really captures your full attention.
The director brings you to the crime scene that was in place in the year 1984 at a river bank. As the camera backens to reveal the detail of the crim scene bit by bit, he instills within you the emotions felt gradually. You know that something is wrong; something bad has happened, and you want to find out if what you thought is true. Then, when you finally see it, your heart is gripped tightly at the image of a motionless 10 year old girl dressed in a scarlett coat, lying sideways.
The camera moved to show a greater angle on the scene, you will be introduced to the main character in the show - a 10 year old boy, classmate of the murdered girl - and he was standing next to the dead girl, with his hands covered in blood. You then hear his labourious breathing, and see that he looked dumbfounded.
Then as the story unfolds 25 years laters, you would discover more about the main character, his story, his relationship with the girl, and how her death had traumatised him through the years.
I really enjoyed every bit of this show. Every second of it was enticing and captivating. The director and his cast really did a fantastic job in telling the tale. There is of course a twist at the end - when the murderer was announced - albeit in a way that leaves the audience stupified.
Not forgetting the music - salute to Hayashi Yuki and all the musicians who created the heart-gripping notes and had the creativity of mixing it with angelic sounds to describe the mood of the entire show.
It's not something you want to miss watching.
