Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Norihiro Koizumi, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gachi Boy: Wrestling with a Memory, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Midnight Sun is
Romeo and Juliet if one had xeroderma pigmentosum. A young woman with a rare sun allergy falls for a boy she watches each night from her window. It's sentimental Japanese melodrama, elevated by Erika Sawajiri's luminous performance.
