About Kirara
While heading towards her own wedding, Kirara Imai dies in a car accident. Deeply frustrated for being unable to accomplish her dreams beside Konpei Asai, she asks for the opportunity of being with him once again. Kirara is able to return, but she goes back eight years in time as a ghost. There she is able to meet Konpei and herself when they still weren't a couple.
Directed by Kiyoshi Murayama, Kirara leans on a strong ensemble — Kotono Mitsuishi, Chiaki Ōsawa, Machiko Toyoshima — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2000.
