If you loved Blindly in Love, try Haruta & Chika
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Masahide Ichii, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Blindly in Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Haruta & Chika is
Some childhood friends reunite only to weaponize their reunion by turning their school’s dying band into a mystery-solving unit. Haruta gets roped in by Chika’s relentless flute lobbying, leading to a club that investigates weird incidents instead of rehearsing. What started as a vanity project ends up actually teaching everyone how to listen.
