rod May 26 2022 10:43 am done watching rigth now. great movie. i love the idea of this movie. i feel sad for emi especially the scene in the train [1:42 movie time] (taka first day emi last day) my heart aches. ugh! this feeling of sadness that this is the last time you will see the person you love the most but can't show what you truly feels. he does not know anything. at least the painting scene (taka last day emi first day) somehow taka shows his love for emi.

Keitaro3660 Jul 30 2021 12:20 pm I just watch it now. The movie description is sooo misleading lol. It said the girl have some kind of 'supranatural' secret. So i thought it just your another The Girl who leap through time. Boooooyyyy, i was sooo wrong

The idea is suuuuper unique and Fresh! In my 32 years old as movie lover, Its the first time i know this kind of idea from a story. I never think of this before. Why no other story using this kind of 'Reverse Universe Time' plot?

Every story that messing with Time usually only has that Butterfly Effect and Time Loop plot on it. Even Avengers End Game and Dr. Strange use this formula.

supersoaker Jul 11 2021 11:21 am i have a feeling that the loop was broken in the movie. the night the guy said sorry to her and she said " you have never said it before" tells me that they ended the loop this time. someone who has read the novel told me that the book said they both went separate ways and the girl ended up being a famous movie star, so my guess could be wrong. Im just going to stick to my version because it is better that way and help me get over the fact that they will never end up together.

Jr Jun 25 2021 12:25 pm Just watched this fantastic movie. Confusing at first but if you watch it thoroughly and try to read online for some explanation to confirm your thought, you would get it. Best explanation comment section so far is explained by nabil rosli

Nabil Rosli Feb 19 2021 6:53 am There is 1 thing I think most of the people doesn't get:

Why did Takatoshi seems like he doesn't have an idea on who is Emi on HIS very 1st day. But, on Emi's 1st day, she had an idea on who is the guy who is going to paint her potrait.

That is because, Taka(25) did find Emi(15) and give her the potrait of her future-self. Taka also did brief her about that will happen during their 20-years old encounter. BUT, Emi (25) did not manage to find Taka(15). Emi(25) only managed to find the place where Taka will live during their 20-years old encounter, not Taka(15). Emi(25) did not managed to brief anything the teen Taka. But, Emi (30) did find Taka(10), but she thought that the kid Taka is not clever enough to understand if she explain the same way like Taka(25) told to teen Emi(15). So, she just gave Taka(10) the box contained the pic.

1 fact that people might miss is Taka(30) does not meet Emi(10), and Emi(25) did not find Taka(15). Hope people understand this beautiful movie.

Dark Sep 03 2020 9:47 pm Is there any more movie like this ? not like the plot, but the the general vibe, and feeling to it

Nan Jul 09 2020 3:35 pm Beautiful. More paradoxes and loops than Dark! XD

Sam May 12 2020 1:52 am Okay, here is my explanation. The time line is 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35.

|  5   (T) is 35 (E) /\---- Future of Emi, Past of Takatoshi
|  10 (T) is 30 (E)  |
|  15 (T) is 25 (E)  |
|  20 (T) is 20 (E)  |----- This is the "present" in the story
|  25 (T) is 15 (E)  |
|  30 (T) is 10 (E)  |

\/ 35 (T) is 5 (E) |----- Past of Emi, Future of Takatoshi

so when they met at 20...

Takatoshi already met the 25, 30 and 35 y/o Emi. He met 35 y/o Emi when he was 5 and 30 y/o Emi when he was 10. Takatoshi knew Emi's future

While, when Emi is 20 y/o too, She already met the 25, 30 and 35 y/oTakatoshi. She met 35 y/o Takatoshi when she was 5 and 25 y/o Takatoshi when she was 15 y/o. Emi knew Takatoshi's future.

While they are both moving towards their own future, Emi and Takatoshi are both coming to each other's past.

"Dating yesterday's you" is both applicable for Emi and Takatoshi because if...

Emi moves forward from being 20 y/o, she will both meet the 15, 10 , 5 Takatoshi.

Same as Takatoshi, if he move forward from being 20 y/o, he will meet the 15, 10, and 5 Emi.

It is like Taka is going right while Emi is going left or Taka is moving downward while Emi is upward. Then they met at the intersection of their life which is 20 yrs. old.

During their 20 yr old story, the scenes happened in the movie are in Taka's movement then near the end, we saw how it looks like for Emi's timeline.

For Emi, she first met Taka at the studio, painting her (she knew it because 20 y/o Emi already met the 25 y/o Taka when she was 15) but for Taka it is the 30th day with Emi.

For Taka, she first met Emi at the train but for Emi it is the 3oth day that's why she cried saying "see you tomorrow" repeatedly.

Well, this is just my understanding :)

imaaaaaaaaaans Mar 07 2020 8:45 pm Watched it twice and cried both times! When Emi told Takatoshi what is happening, I was confused how the 20yo Emi knew that she will save Takatoshi in her future. In her POV, she is aging from 5 to 35. Does this mean that she is fully aware that there is a loop existing because she knew both her past and future? Or maybe because 25yo Takatoshi told 15yo Emi that she will save him? But then, 25yo Takatoshi only knew that it was Emi who saved him when he was 5, when Emi told him about that when they are both 20. This is the only thing that bugged me. Other than that, this is a really great tearjerker movie!

Max Dec 24 2019 3:38 am This is a totally fictional movie, but very interesting and entertaining love story.

Chrono Nov 26 2019 10:03 am Also, Nana Komatsu is very cute in this movie

Chrono Nov 26 2019 10:00 am Watch the movie in 2019 because of youtube that make a fanmade Kimi no Nawa songs. And I am glad that I see this movie. Emi's last day almost made me cry.

Miracle Nov 15 2019 9:31 am Brilliant movie with interesting plot

answering Ichiharu explanation : for anyone that still confuse on how Emi seems to know but the future but Takatoshi not. This is because in the future Takatoshi (25 y.o.) give her the diary and painting, and say that she gonna meet him in the future (basically spoiling the future), but the future Emi only give 15 y.o. Takatoshi locked box so he was more clueless in his 20 y.o.

There is egg-chicken paradox in here, but let's just assume that both of them are fated to meet due to both of them committed to their own roles after 20 y.o.

taeletubwi May 10 2019 9:49 am such a heartwrecking movie. at first, the storyline may seem to be jumping out of the place but once the story unfolds, you will understand. although, i have many questions about other details but i do get the concept.

literally cried. each scenery was captured beautifully. really tragically amusing. definitely worth watching.

Liesianthes Apr 27 2019 8:33 am I'm expecting a romance, a lovely romance that will make you feel in love and not bucket of feels. This movie is really well made, the concepts, twist and everything fits perfectly.

What I really love is the camera angle shots, kudos to the cameraman, since she really captured the beauty, charm and different expressions of Nana Komatsu.

Highly recommended.

RoseGold Feb 10 2019 7:06 am I came here to find out if it's true that the girl MC is Goto Moe from PD48. Turns out I was wrong. How can they look so similar like twins? Both are beautiful ^^

ichiharu Jan 19 2019 11:07 am Ok, just to clarify on xtulthu's post and for everyone who's confused. Also, also, for those who haven't watched yet: SPOILER ALERT.

Guy and girl live in parallel realities that somehow converge. Taka's timeline is A->B, Emi's timeline -in her POV- is also A->B. The trick is that the timelines are going in opposite directions. Since we're seeing it mostly from Taka's POV, it does seem like Emi's is B->A.

They are both going toward their separate futures. But due to the convergence, they meet at crucial points in each other's lives. As Taka (our POV) progresses to his future, he encounters Emi's past. As Emi in turn progresses to her future, she encounters Taka's past.

As an example, when Taka was 5, he met 35y.o Emi who saved him from the lake. At the SAME TIME but DIFFERENT REALITY, when Emi was 5, she met 35y.o Taka who saved her from an explosion. So on and so forth.

Haha. Probably more difficult to understand. But, for me, it's less complicated if you see it from both POV separately, rather than seeing it from both POV together.

I do have a question though: how and why did Emi and her family come to Taka's reality in the first place? Is it in the novel?

xtulthu Sep 09 2018 12:21 am Guys, for those who dont understand : The girl and the boy live in a parallel timeline. The boy timeline is similar to ours. We live remembering and know our past and move forward to the future.

The girl timeline is the opposite, she live knowing the future but moving towards the past.

So as the guy is getting older, the girl is getting younger.

Every new memories that the guy make together with her, is her LAST MEMORIES with him.

The ending showed the timeline from her point of view (flashback)

The day 1 for the guy is day 30 for the girl. Thus, the day 30 for the guy is day 1 for the girl. The guy have all the past memories he had with the girl, but the girl , approaching day 1, cant remember any memories, become in her world shes goin to the past where she have not even met the guy.

penelope Aug 27 2018 5:08 am This movie felt unfinished to me? I enjoyed the end but when it really ended, i thought to myself, "That's it?".

Personally, I didn't enjoy it but many others enjoyed it. Although, I must say that the actors were perfect and the scenery was beautiful!

Saraab Jun 21 2018 7:03 pm I watched this movie it was my first japanese movie i fell in love with every scene but i’m still not sure if I understood what was her secret? Can someone explain?

FanfanRA May 30 2018 7:30 am I was crying the rest of movie after knowing about what happened to them :'( I'm lucky can see this movie :D

maine gracia casablanca Nov 25 2017 3:06 am Once more I'm amazed but entertained by this movie. It's not my first time to watch a Japanese movie or drama so I can only say that the idea of such a relationship between Emi and Takatoshi can only come from a Japanese writer or novelist. Why? Because the thoughts, feelings and how the story runs through is often, if not always, one of a kind. After watching, you can pause and reflect about what you saw and heard in the movie. You come out thinking and sifting through ideas, and later draw some conclusions from your own thoughts and emotions. I feel better as a person not just a dumb viewer of an ordinary show. And it's not only in this movie but after many others I've watched. Arigato to the producers and the performers.

Nana Nov 23 2017 1:32 am I love how creative this movie is. This is the reason why I still favour Japanese production as their storyline is never the same (not those rich man meet poor woman, rich heirs, fatal illness, complex family background. You know what I mean...)

A very fresh storyline and intriguing at the same time. Sweet and confusing at first but when everything was pieced together at the end, I cried. What a touching movie!

FromPHwithlove Nov 06 2017 5:09 am Am I the only one who thought this movie is a little confusing? Oh please, tell me I'm not the only one. T_T well, I don't know but there are really parts which are confusing for me..the loop, the "his future-her past"..

Don't get me wrong, tho. I did enjoy the love story and I loved how Nana achieved looking like a grown up here. I loved their acting and they have chemistry.

Twice Nov 04 2017 11:10 am This movie is sooooo gooood. The story may have a not so sad ending but it’ll let you hanging, because there’s a part of you that wanted to break the so called “loop/fate” and let them have a happy family. But I’m really impressed in this story, it’s new/fresh for me, It was unexpected. Also, I love nana-chan such a great actress and props for sota he’s so handsome ugh❤️ I hope they make a new movie in the future. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE

Eve Sep 27 2017 12:40 pm I really want to read the novel. But cant find an english version of it. I found a chinese version of the manga. hopefully it will get more recognition so it will be translated.

Zenna Sep 22 2017 8:08 pm My words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this movie! Such unique story! I am amazed by its idea and I really love the acting. I want to read the novel too, I've never heard about it until now. Japanese people are so creative and wonderful!

athena Sep 11 2017 10:00 pm the story is unique,charming and makes you do the math at the same time.I'm not Sota's fan but the storyline made me watch it. Nana's acting is getting better though .

Carina Aug 12 2017 10:21 pm I really like this kind of movie. The OST, the story, the cinematography. It also not "too much" like other Japanese movie (This movie looks like some indie movie which is my favorite). Can anyone suggest me a beautiful movie like this?

Diana Jul 26 2017 12:33 pm

except for those who already read the manga

Sorry I mean the novel, not the manga. I haven't read the novel myself so I thought at first the movie was remake from a manga. My apologies, Takafumi Nanatsuki-san. I sincerely adore your masterpiece. It's magnificent

Diana Jul 26 2017 12:03 pm Woah... I'm always amazed on how creative Japanese movies are. How can they come up with such an idea? It's extraordinary. Halfway through the movie I've came up with all the possibilities theories on what secret actually she was hiding (from "she had serious illness that cant be cured" or "she actually came from the future" or something ridiculous like they were actually brother and sister.) But all my theories are wrong. Not even close. It's just a simple reason, but you cant predict that. Seriously, whatever you were thinking, I guarantee your theories also wrong (except for those who already read the manga). The answer is really unpredictable. 11/10. SO DAMN LOVE IT!! 100% RECOMMENDED.

lostintheabyss Jul 20 2017 3:58 am The scene really hits me hard; when Sota's character realize that many of the "first time" stuff he's done with her is her last time doing it.

manyfires Jul 17 2017 12:52 am Love the story line. Very unique and original. I stumble upon the movie while flying from Japan. Complex story line but very beautiful... makes you appreciate what we have today and hold on to it and not take things for granted.

Ashu Rao Jul 08 2017 2:56 am I just loved this movie. if u watch this movie in theater have to watch at least 2 to 3 times to understand the movie. very different fantasy movie with cute love story.

dandahlian Jul 06 2017 11:16 pm This is a beautiful and brilliant movie. Deserves more attention because it isn't the typical romance we get to see in most dramas nowadays. Tbh. The plot is so great and unique, though I have to admit that's it's complex and you might need to pause the movie midway to think it through. Haha. The acting is good and can we talk about the OST? (Happy End by back number is a painful yet beautiful song. Check it out after you've watched the movie!!!) Don't hesitate to watch this, unless you don't want to have a headache and a heartache at the same time lol.

Nick Beacham Watts Jul 06 2017 6:47 pm I am so please to read your comments. Sky_UI I felt my hear warming especially to yours. Sota Fukushi is great in other doramas - Strobe Edge and Love Relationship etc. Japanes dramas are very special. I just watched Mars today too, what a coincedence! Wonderful acting and chemistry. I hope Emi's secret isn't too sad but her tearing so readilly tells me it may be.

人 Jul 05 2017 11:17 am This movie is so great. Props to the producers and the main leads.

Iloveallidols Jun 29 2017 9:31 pm LoL when i first saw it ,i thought it was Taishi Nakagawa and Marie Litoyo :D P.s sorry for bad English :))

Sky_IU Jun 26 2017 6:58 pm Can I just say that this movie is beyond amazing. Movies that focus on or has plot related with "time" (you know what I mean) always get my full attention. When the "secret" slowly unveils, I suddenly got "intellectually" involved, that I had to pause every time something important(related to the secret) is uttered by the main leads, so I can fully understand everything. It doesn't "spoon feed" all explanation to the viewers, you gotta be really into it if you want to enjoy it and understand it. Their portrayal are good too, not too over the top, just smoothly. Japanese movies(most) don't fail my expectation tbh.

The movie has a slight(1%?) similarity with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" film, but entirely different plot.

Lina kowloon tong Jun 21 2017 7:27 am Nana komatsu?simiLar suzy in my eyes...

Karen Khoo Jun 20 2017 3:09 am The most similar look alike for Sota is Taishi ok.

Trina V May 26 2017 4:34 am

Nana looks like black pink lisa and sota is very handsome I like him????

isola Apr 24 2017 2:22 am Watched this movie yesterday and it is sooooo touching! I love how the movie is told from Takatoshi's POV until the very end when it shows it from Emi's POV. Prepare some tissues if you are one to sob in the cinema when watching a melodrama.

Spoiler: Nobody died so don't get the mindset of those typical Korean storyline where someone gets a terminal illness. This is a Japanese movie.

Evy Aug 14 2016 1:29 pm Oh nooo. Don't tell me the "secret" is the typical, tragic "I don't have much more time, I'll be leaving this world soon." :(

Anyway. Hey! It's Aoi-kun from Koinaka.

byie Aug 12 2016 4:28 am Sota doesn't can't act, he's just act differently haha btw i'm on him, i'm on all his project. I think they're cute together, and i got their chemistry. Can't wait to watch the whole movie!!

Mizu Tsukino Aug 11 2016 8:47 pm Tall couple :D

emily Jul 19 2016 8:18 am OMG... the book was so good and i was wondering hu would be taking the roles!!!! it's sota! tbh no hate here but he's been in waaaayyy toooo many school boy roles genuinely hopes he'll do a good job for this, the book was great and is so popular atm too. (*prays* please turn out good!!!)

lead casts completely different to what i imagined but still anticipating!

yy Apr 25 2016 11:10 pm I think Sota did best in Koinaka dorama. He could find peace acting with Honda Tsubasa and more mature than his previous film (maybe bcoz they have acted together in Enoshima Prism before). But I do believe Sota might not be the best actor because his expression seems all the same. His acting can be bland sometimes. Meanwhile, I just have watched Komatsu Nana in Kurosaki-kun TV special. Her acting is so-so but she's very pretty, her eyes especially. Just wait for this to be a good movie, anyway.

pipliola Apr 25 2016 8:39 pm these are beautiful couple, so damn perfect if we talk about the appearance. but tbh their acting are still not best

blah Apr 17 2016 1:58 pm @suegar: well i've watched As the Gods Will and Close Range Love already and i still think their acting is awkward. actually those are the 2 films that made me think so. i'd say Nana did her best in Kawaki, not Close Range Love.

momo Mar 23 2016 8:10 am I wonder about this movie, since the main girl is Nana Komatsu..

suegar Mar 19 2016 6:28 am I saw some snippets of them on tumblr, and guys, let me just tell y'all they really look good together. And I am very excited for this movie. Those who say that Sota and Nana cannot act, should totally check out Library Wars, As the Gods Will and Close range love.

blah Feb 18 2016 1:16 pm agree that they're a beautiful couple, hope they can create awesome chemistry otherwise it would ruin everything because these both have awkward acting most of the time. (no offense i really love Nana though)

Byunghubbie Feb 08 2016 6:51 pm OMO! Sota Fukushi again! Argh! Gonna wait for how many months! But I think it's worth it <3

tif34 Jan 22 2016 8:42 am handsome + pretty = PERFECT Gonna watch this movie for sure !

Annandale Jan 15 2016 7:21 am Love both of them...this is definitely a watch for me.

takeda Jan 14 2016 3:07 am Oh my, Fukushi Sota and Komatsu Nana together? They'll make beautiful couple <333
