An art teacher and a music teacher fall in love in the Tezuka Academy. However, the school forbids them from dating each other and the romance ends in tragedy when the art teacher disappears and the music teacher dies of a broken heart. 80 years later a student in the same academy commits suicide and leaves behind notes for the mysterious "Claire De Lune" - the same song that the music teacher used to play. Soon after that, strange and horrifying things start to happen to other students as well. Edit Translation

Reviews
This review may contain spoilers
This J-Horror movie is from 2000. You have been warned.
Dear Nokia Brick, I miss you. Your glaring greenish screen was the star of this movie. Oh, yeah, and there were some Japanese schoolgirls doing dumb horror movie things. They could never take your place as the center of attention, Nokia. Never....Serious review time:
Opening of movie- girl jumps off school building.
Next scene- we should totally perform that doomed love story play our un-alive friend wanted to do!
Hilarity ensues?
Because this is a Japanese horror movie, we already know the ghost rumors are true. We already know that mysterious new student in the back of the class is going to be a love interest/ plot point/ ex machina soon. And of course, we already know that the original doomed lovers were MURDERED!!! (probably) There is also almost always the one-sided schoolgirl crushing on her dashing male teacher, someone with trouble at home (dead or divorced parents) who seems to have the most time available to be haunted.
I don't know if any of this makes sense, I'm just trying my best to get through this movie. The pacing makes me feel like I could have filmed another movie in this amount of time. It's 100 minutes long, and we don't get anything spooky until the close-up of sneakers at 24 minutes. Send help.
