The lovely Haruka Ayase as Ichi (2008), a goze (blind woman) who searches Japan for the man who mentored her, the original Zatoichi.

Ichi was one of several films that were released after the success of Takeshi Kitano's The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi in 2003.

NITABOH (2004)

“I’ll find the strength to live and to walk my own road.”

Nitaroh is stricken with an illness that leaves him blind as a child. He inherits his late mother’s shamisen guitar and learns its basics with a blind travelling shamisen player. In time with the help of his friends, he walks the paths that leads to his ultimate fate - that of founder of the Tsugaru style of shamisen play.

Taking the road less traveled has always been the most difficult journey of all, especially when you are doing it alone. I love everything about this anime, the artwork depicting the beautiful scenery, the weather, the atmosphere and the facial expressions capturing the emotions and feelings of the characters, the songs and music being played that catches your heart and soul, the inspiring story of a boy who grew up with life tragedies but still pushes on through hardship to chase his dream despite the failures and rejections. Adapting to changes, improving his art and restarting all over again to be better. 

Definitely one of those underrated and less popular anime known to many, which I highly recommend you to watch if you have the time to spare.

サクラゴーゼ / 湘南ビール（神奈川） 本来ゴーゼというスタイルは塩を添加して作るが、このビールは桜の塩漬けを使っている。このため名前はサクラゴーゼ。ほのかに漂う桜、というよりは桜餅を包んでいるシソの葉と、強いヨーグルトのようなアロマがある。塩気も強く感じられ、ちょっとしょっぱい。ボディは軽い。苦味はほとんど感じないというか塩味に消されている。ゴーゼ自体あまり飲まない、飲む機会がないがこのビールは美味しい。
