Synopsis

Summer vacation has emptied a Japanese boys' school of all but three boys: the junior Norio & the seniors Kazuhiko & Naoto. They have no families to return to for the summer, so they spend their days in the empty school. A darkness hangs over the three however: the suicide, three months earlier, of classmate Yu. Norio blames Kazuhiko for Yu's death, because it was well-known that Yu loved Kazuhiko; so Kazuhiko is cruel to Norio, and yet has bad dreams. This uneasy arrangement is exacerbated by the arrival of Kaoru, a student early for the fall - who looks exactly like Yu.

While the music in Summer Vacation 1999 is atmospheric and fitting for the themes of the film, it can sometimes feel repetitive and monotonous. The lack of variety in the soundtrack may detract from the overall impact of certain scenes, making it difficult for the audience to fully engage with the emotional nuances of the characters' experiences. More diversity in musical styles and instrumentation could have enhanced the listening experience and enriched the storytelling.
