"Moekare wa Orenji-iro" is such a simple and easy treat to watch. There's nothing particularly complex about a story about a high school girl falling in love with a firefighter and their journey together. And if you come in expecting only that (really, what all the trailers for this film tell you it's about!), then it's pretty hard to not enjoy the simplicity and cheesiness of this film. Iwamoto Hikaru and Meruru as the lead actors of the film fulfill their roles - they aren't particularly amazing, but they aren't terrible either. Snow Man's "Orange Kiss" is well-suited to the tone of the entire film - light-hearted, poppy, and easy to listen to. Both the movie and the song are easy to take in, but aren't particularly memorable either. Nothing about this film - from the story to the actors - is particularly special or deep. But it's cute, and it's easy, and sometimes, you just want something cheesy and light (and that may give you a slight toothache with how sweet it is!) to watch. And for those moments, when you just need a pick-me-up, I'd recommend this film. :) (And also, obviously, if you are a fan of Iwamoto, definitely check this out!)
