Erm this film sucked, total waste of my money! As usual way too much overacting as is common in Japanese entertainment (but can sometimes be hilarious ala Nakatsu). The Perfume performance was dragged out wayyyy too long and the description etc is totally misleading. In no way was the bar hostess or his coworker interested in him, and the last scene was way too forceful. The movie felt rushed such that I felt no empathy for the main character, and in fact I just think he's an unlikable loser. He berated the only girl nice enough to him and kind enough to take away his virginity and said they didn't have music and activities in common. As if he has any with the main lead other than TM Revolution?! The girl and him both liked singing karaoke alone, the same karaoke songs and the same band at the festival! That was the most assholic moment of the movie, but there were plenty of others.
