Cool music, just like the first one it fits the "Rookies world" very well; can�Lt tell if it�Ls better than the first one, i heard the first one so many times that it sticked in my head, i need to watch this one as many times to grasp really how much i like it lol.

Kiseki will be hard to beat since it was a really popular song. I think it did extremely well in sales. Below are pics of ROOKIES ads at Shibuya Station.
I watched the movie today and I thought it was wonderful.

A lot of people in the audience were crying at the end. The woman who sat next to me couldn't stop the tears. I kinda got choked up with Aniya's last pitch scene. A great ending to ROOKIES and this yakyu dorama has won me over!

...or maybe less - way less, if what I saw at "Kurasagi, the Movie" last year happens at the Rookies movie. Two girls with a wheelie suitcase, sitting four rows back of us, setting up the tripod, camera,etc...blatant disregard for copyrighting
Trying to remember how long after April 2008 that Kurasagi, the Movie was on those streaming sites with subtitles...mmmmmmm I know it was shortly thereafter, i know it was not longer than two months...who knows those "two girls with the wheelie suitcase" just might show up at the Rookies movie

ah I jus finish watching it and I'm totally hook!
I was wondering, do I really have to watch the SP? Cause I'm still debating whether or not to dl it since I read somewhere that is mostly recap of the whole drama.

Thanks for the review Takoyama! Is the movie doing well? I'm wondering so since the movie is out, is it a success or a flop?
I would say it's doing extremely well since I couldn't purchase any tickets opening weekend. I've tried at numerous theaters to no avail. I had to watch on a weekday and still the theater was near capacity. Here's some box office info at jpopasia website:
"As expected, the "ROOKIES" movie was a major success at the box office in its opening weekend. The film played on 428 screens across Japan, and in two days it was seen by over 980,000 people, earning more than 1.2 billion yen.
The movie's performance is being compared to "Hana Yori Dango Final," which was the #1 live-action film and #2 overall (behind "Gake no Ue no Ponyo" ) of 2008. "ROOKIES" opened on 7% more screens (compared to 400) and made 21.7% more in ticket revenue. At this rate, "ROOKIES" could eventually earn over 9 billion yen in theaters, given that "Hana Yori Dango Final" ultimately grossed 7.75 billion. Toho hopes that "ROOKIES" may even break the 10 billion yen mark, which has only been achieved by three live-action Japanese films so far."

Thanks for the news Takoyama-kun. That's indeed a very good thing to hear, I'm even more excited about the movie now.

Rookies is also the best adapted manga on drama, which is very rare. It really respects the manga, which was already excellent.
I agree with you on that, normally they put more drama and romance in the adaptations and it ends up stealing the essence of the manga.
That�Ls what�Ls gonna happen with the Kochikame live action this summer, first Katori Shingo playing Ryotsu and i�Lm pretty sure they are gonna ruin the comedy of the story.
