Lira, a girl who has moved from Osaka to Manazuru, a port town in Kanagawa, due to family reasons. She despairs in her life and throws her violin which she has dedicated everything, into the sea. Coincidentally, it was Junpei, who picks up the violin. A dreamy boy who was always strumming a tattered guitar with only four strings in the harbor. Junpei finds a video of a transfer student, Lira, playing a violin on the internet, and asks Lira to teach him the guitar because "the stringed instruments are the same." Junpei always talks brightly about the future, but somewhere in his heart he gives up that he has to take over the dried fish shop of the family business eventually. But still, Junpei keeps having passions and desires for music. His passions awakens Lira’s feelings of passions for music even aching in her heart, she feels sympathizes with Junpei, and her feelings for the abandoned violin gets stronger and stronger.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
