nana Oct 24 2010 8:07 am I'll just watch this movie and i think it's wonderful. Juri and haruma are great actor. Haruma legs is so sexy!!!

RamenLover Jun 29 2010 2:27 am "Naoko" turned out to be my second favorite "sports" film after "Ping Pong". The film pleasantly turned out deeper substance than expected. Juri Ueno was her usual spectacular self, Haruma Miura pretty good in a bit of a one dimensional role, and Tsurube turning in the most dynamic performance. The film itself sends a carefully crafted message, that life can work in a way similar to a marathon with everyone passing the baton on to another for a reason. The occasional widescreen backdrops of the local area was also breath taking. Excellant film!
