ANDROBETA Jul 08 2013 7:41 am In the cast section, if Nao Omori plays the role of Okazaki then the picture is misplaced. Okazaki is the band's manager, the picture is of his son who becomes the record shop owner. Or are they the same person? O.o

Old-man Mar 21 2013 7:14 am A strange film that appears to meander for long periods then rushes to a conclusion that leaves you amazed and weak with joy...a triumph. Is Mikako Tabe the most beautiful actress in the world? (I'll let others come to theit own conclusion!)

hahahhaha Feb 19 2013 5:09 am this movie is epic, connection between the story so funny

Eyes Scream05 Oct 11 2012 10:08 am My God! This movie is very deep! I love the motivation of every characters of the movie. Even though there is no hope they believe that faith on ourselves will lead to unexpecting results. The one who makes this movie is a genius.

Michelle Aug 17 2012 2:18 pm Who ever wrote this movie and made it. Thank you!

Michelle Aug 17 2012 2:17 pm Wow! I couldn't explain how I felt after I watched it. The other movie have done that to me. Im very glad that I decided to give this film a chance. I never been so inspired. After I watched it I wanna go down the street and tell every one I see to watch it. But I don't wanna look like I'm a crazy person. Good thing we have facebook.
