Sun Mar 20 2019 1:55 pm It's definitely one of the best Japanese movie I've watched. The actors, the cinematography, the dialogues. Sometimes I just unintentionally think about this and end up watching it again!

mitzmin Jan 09 2010 6:16 pm one of the BEST films I eeeever watched! gosh watched it tons of times. I just loved Anne Tsushiya, she is beautiful and acts perfectly. If you haven't watched, I deeply recommend. P S: If you think hiroki narimiya is important on this film, he isn't.
