Midnight Sun is a movie starring the Japanese artist and singer YUI. In the movie, she plays the role of Amane Kaoru, a 16 year old girl who suffers from the rare skin condition xeroderma pigmentosum, a disease that makes the ultraviolet radiation of sunlight potentially lethal to her. YUI's character is partly based on herself, as she is an amateur singer and guitarist, and she performs three of YUI's songs in the movie; It's Happy Line, Good-bye days and Skyline. She finds joy in singing and also with Fujishiro Kouji, played by Takashi Tsukamoto. A touching story, especially when the movie shows how much can one do for his/her love ones.
