This is such a heartfelt, beautifully told and executed movie. I am so glad I decided to watch it despite the little reviews.

I first happened across this movie on here and saw that one review said to WATCH IT NOW. Just finished it and don't know how I have lived without seeing this movie. I absolutely love this movie, the storyline was something I didn't predict and the way it was carefully weaved together to have emotional impact on the viewer was genius. I especially loved the photography shots they were breathtaking (props to whoever took the photos. The actors/actresses were cast so nicely for each other. I can't believe this does not have more reviews because it is my favorite Japanese movie now. I will definitely rewatch this movie many times.
