hi @ emma lee Mar 05 2023 1:52 pm the name of the song is cold nights, by keiichi sokabe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8RCjEM9TL8&feature=youtu.be

Armie Jan 14 2023 7:49 pm This film played with my emotions— of course, in a satisfying way. It was mind-blowing! Kudos to the whole team of this film.

Max Jun 18 2022 11:20 am I started watching this by chance... I'm Ito Sairi fan.

Emma Lee Feb 06 2021 10:04 am Does anyone the title of the song that appears during the play that Kento watched and he cried? The lyrics goes like: "Goodbye my silent person, far away someplace"

Sukki Aug 11 2020 1:37 pm Just watched this movie.. I never thought I would ever be so annoyed with Yamaken's character. The story kinda depicts the reality that couple faced in a relationship. The plot was great but it was a bit slow paced just like usual japan movie did. The movie deliver a deep meaning and message for all of us. Again, Kento's acting never disappointing and the female lead, Mayu did a great job as the character. A recommended movie to watch.

Viv Apr 18 2020 5:55 am Kento kun looks so manly and mature with a facial hair. I barely recognized him.

majisuka Feb 15 2020 5:17 am Wow yet another Mayu and Sairi collaboration. They surely act together quite a lot.

NogiHills Jul 23 2019 2:38 am Oh wow Mayu and Kento in one movie, so excited!

Friends Jul 22 2019 7:40 pm I'll watch anything with Mayu in it

Hitomi Jul 17 2019 12:35 am OMG finally another from Mayu!!!

and bonus is that she'll be opposite of Kento omg

Sakura Jul 16 2019 9:31 am Wow Kento Yamazaki looks totally different here... Is it this "theater" film's still because filming started in last month?

BB Jul 16 2019 6:25 am OMG that top photo of Kento <3 Where is it from??

Camila O'Pry Jul 15 2019 11:43 pm Oh God! New movie from Yamaken!^o^ Btw... What about Wotakoi?
