just watched it yesterday and it's already become one of my favs j-movies ! LOVED IT!!?
such amazing touching theme, acting, story and moral!
i'm also planning to read the novel that movie based on !
i loved talking about disabilities and how pple around react to in short shots with no unnecessary details or gossip,
and i see it has a perfect ending too, although many of you guys will wish the movie to be longer than it is and me too wished the same, but the ending is really so good as it is coz it just will show the way of change and the speed effect. I don't need many details i loved how it teachs me a lot in just so simple way!
the movie is so interesting you'll never feel bored.

There's a times I get mad at Nobuyuki. I mean ... really? He reveals Rika's secret in front of everyone? That's really a big no no >.< Besides of that, this movie is really great. Not a tearjerker, but the story is really deep. How hard and how sad Rika to adapt in her environment are really punch you straight in the face to see and to know the reality. And when Rika finally have the self-esteem, that's when you really proud of her (I even screaming hahaha). Another sad but sweet story.

This was so sweet ..
I loved Nobuyuki character how he approach a girl with a special problem , he did not judge her he accepted her for how she is .
I think it is a good movie to make people realize how they should accept everyone with their differences , people should stop bully others with special problems or the ones who have different hobbies or interests than them .
The ending was good but I wished it was a bit longer , I really wanted Hitomi parents to meet Nobuyuki :/
I liked the plot although it is not original , but I enjoyed it ~

A good story, with interesting theme, but really bad ending. Because of that, and some other points where they simply just forgot to explain things and just let everything go with the story (eg shouldn't the girl ask him why he was with someone else and whether they were a couple or not??) Anyway, part from the bad, the movie had a nice love story, good performances and a touching theme, with the girl really presenting a person with hearing disability and how she was affected by the others around her. Still, the ending was too simple.
