From the production diary, it looks like most of it was filmed in Kamakura, south of Tokyo. Does anyone know where the ferris wheel and plaza with the sunflowers (where she sung to the crowd on her first "date" with Kouji) is located?

It should be in Yokohama I think.

Below is the wiki entry on Yokohama with a picture of that ferris wheel. Not sure if it's the same one at this moment.

Cool thanks. How sure are you that's the same ferris wheel from the movie, because ferris wheels seem to be quite popular in Japan. It makes sense though, since they left Kamakura to find another spot for YUI to perform at, and Yokohama is right next door.

The main location was Kamakura. Kaoru & Kouji first date was in Yokohama.
Try this if you plan to see the filming location. http://entertainment.aol.co.jp/movie/taiyonouta/map.html

In the storyline, Takashi and YUI went to Yokohama, which is just north of Kamakura.

artunee: thanks, that's exactly what I need. Wish I could read the site, but I can figure out most of it from the pictures anyway. I have a day to mess around before leaving Tokyo for Kansai Airport, so I wanted to go to the beach in Kamakura and maybe see where the movie was filmed. Unfortunately I read swimming is not allowed at the beach were Kouji and his buddies went surfing.

Kai-san: I'll find find that ferris wheel and make sure it's the same :lol:.

Was it explicitly stated that they went to Yokohama for their first date, or is it an educated guess?

The first date was definitely took place in Yokohama. That China town you saw in the movie was the one in Yokohama. If you closely watched behind the scene disk you'll know that, cos it mentioned the name of the place in it. Good luck finding the location. I'll go there too, but since I've changed my trip plan so that I can't meet you Fandan. :thumbsup:

I want to find that Chinatown and eat one of those pork buns like you see in the movie. Fresh pork buns from Asian market are the best!

I haven't seen the "behind the scenes" or "making of" DVDs, but I might buy a copy of the movie so I can find my way around on my trip through Kamakura and Yokohama :lol: .

Well, they were definately at Yokohama, because they walked along the docks of Yokohama bay. The scene where they're pointing up at the sky and stuff.. that was Yokohama bay :)

フォトジェニックな町、鎌倉なのに

Taiyouo_1映画>>『タイヨウのうた』、大ヒットおめでとうございます!「カップルで2000円」なんて戦略も功を奏したのでしょうが、ほんのちょっとながら(映画祭で)宣伝の協力させていただいた者として素直に嬉しい! 一方、鎌倉ではこの話題であまり盛り上がっていないのが寂しいですが。みんなロケ地とか行きたくないのかなあ・・と思ったら、やっぱりありましたね、こういう情報。
>>ヒッチちゃりだーが行く!ロケ地を巡る旅

 近年各地で>>フィルムコミッション(=FC)なる組織が立ち上がっています。映画やドラマやCMのロケ隊を誘致して、地域の産業振興や知名度アップを狙おうという目的で、行政や地域の商工会がFCを推進しています。例えば『タイヨウのうた』でも、>>藤沢、>>横浜、>>逗子、>>みうら、>>横須賀のFC名がエンディングロールで流れてました。

 え?一つ足りない?? そうなんです。鎌倉は全国に名が知れた町で、ほおっておいても観光客がやってくるから「FCなんて必要ないの!」だそうです。「これ以上観光客が来て、騒がしくなったらどうするの!」なんだそうです。でもね、今となっては恥ずかしいでしょ、FCの一つもないと。仮にも「映画の町・鎌倉」だったんだからさ。

 TBSテレビでも>>『タイヨウのうた』始まりましたね。こちらは七里ケ浜じゃなくて江ノ島、西口三角公園じゃなくて藤沢の奥田公園がロケ地になってます。映画版でYUIちゃんの圧倒的な存在感に気圧されちゃったせいか、TV版はなんかリアルじゃないというか、陰影が足りないと感じられてしまう・・。いや、映画版に深みがあったのは、鎌倉の町がとってもフォトジェニックだから、かもしれないよ。

Those that can read Chinese should go to YUI-CN and check out a person's post about this trip to Japan. He went to pretty much all the places that featured in YUI's PVs and in Taiyou no Uta. He took pictures of the street live places, the train stations and railroad tracks, the beach, ... everything. It's quite an impressive (and probably expensive) trip.
I'm the "mic" that YUI sings with. Her lips touches mine every time she sings.

I was watching Taiyo no Uta movie last night and Kouji actually says it. He was describing their "date" to Kaoru's parents outside the recording room and says "That time we went to Yokohama". So everyone was right, it was Yokohama :D .
