Underwater Love (4 Stars)


When he was at school Aoki had a crush on Asuka. He wrote her a love letter, but lacked the courage to send it to her. Before he can find the courage he dies by drowning. 15 years later he's told by the God of Death that Asuka only has a few days left to live. He returns to Earth as a kappa, a mythical Japanese sea creature. He gets a job in the fish packing factory where Asuka works and helps her to fight against the God of Death.

Obviously the film can't be taken too seriously. The God of Death is portrayed as a chain smoking hippy. The film is a musical, with the cast breaking into song at random moments. Despite the silliness it's enjoyable.
