Synopsis:
Based on a novel, "Accuracy of Death" by Kotaro Isaka, "Sweet Rain" depicts a strange Grim Reaper who meets a woman, begins to understand human emotions and learns about life. The story is developed into three periods, 1985, 2007 and 2028, and characters in each scene are linked unexpectedly. Grim Reaper Chiba (Takeshi Kaneshiro) loves "music" and believes that it is the best invention by humankind. He is not interested in neither human life nor death but simply manages his task as a Grim Reaper. His task is to assess a targeted human being and to make him die... To be more accurate, it is to observe a target for seven days and then choose either "execution = death" or hold = life" (in most cases "execution" is chosen.) This time his target is Kazue Fujiki (Manami Konishi). She is an unfortunate woman because anyone whom she loves dies one after anther. Chiba would choose "execution" as usual. However, her certain talent moves Chiba and causes him to change his opinion toward human being....
