Father of the Bride

A very enjoyable special melancholically portraying the feelings of a father about to marry off his only daughter. The newlyweds are played by Mukai Osamu and Kanjiya Shihori and they do very well. Nothing is out of place, nothing is missing anywhere. By the time it's over, and it went by pretty quickly for me, you have a very pleasant feeling all over your body, you’re smiling and actually pretty satisfied. If you're looking for something unpretentious, unhurried, human, where it tingles on the string of a shamisen – this is it! (01/23/2013)
