The second Japanese film to be adapted from a cellphone novel is a sickening sweet and meandering melodrama about two teenage lovers whose think their romance is written in the stars. Yuck.
Original Title:
Director: Shousuke Murakami
Language: In Japanese with English and Chinese Subtitles
Ever heard of a cellphone novel? It’s one that you download in short installments onto your cellphone and read them just as you would an sms. The genre is extremely popular in Japan, where 5 of the top 10 bestselling titles of 2007 were cellphone novels. Threads of Destiny is only the second Japanese film adapted from such a novel, and its box-office performance has already surpassed the first film, Sky of Love.
Yet the reasons for its popularity escape us.
We found Threads of Destiny sickeningly sweet and melodramatic in its telling of two teenage lovers (Nao Minamisawa and Junpei Mizobata) who face the trials of life together, from peer pressure and drug addiction to domestic violence and suicide. As they grow closer after each experience, they recognise how their fates are bound to each other.
If you’re an incurable romantic who believe in stuff like destiny and soulmates, you may be able to stomach this. We, on the other hand, had to suppress our urge to vomit.

Hello ,just starting to explore and see what this place has to offer. I'm hoping to meet someone genuine who's also looking for something real and meaningful. A little about me l'm kind, caring, and believe in treating others with respect and love. I value honesty, connection, and loyalty. I'm the type of person who gives my all to the right person and just wants the same love and effort in return.
