bluelysia Jun 13 2016 8:11 am Okay, the casts hook me in.. Okada Masaki, Kora Kengo and Nagasawa Masami.. I was worried that I would grief over Haruta's dead for a long time, but really, Roku is almost perfect and he makes me believe that Haruta is already in the past! And the little girl who played Mutsumi-chan.. she is so kawaiiiiiiiiii.. especially when she started to talk her voice is so cuteeeeeeee.. thank you for heartwarming movie :)
