I fall in love with this movie. I felt sad when this film ended, I was already hypnotized in this film. Taken from a true story, Hisashi and Mai really have an amazing story in bringing all the atmosphere, from heartwarming, happy, to sad. I am always touched in every scene. They both really have amazing and unbelievable personalities, but it's true.

Both Takeru Satoh and Tao Tsuchiya showed very good performances. The chemistry that is displayed is very charming and complementary. Takeru Satoh has once again proven that he is one of the best actors in Japan. How he portrays a vulnerable man, never discouraged, and always saddened, for me it is really amazing. I think now I'm starting to idolize Tao Tsuchiya. He's putting on a great performance here. He really transformed into the character Mai very well. Her acting performance in becoming a cheerful woman until she turned into a woman with a struggle with disease, it amaze me everytime I see her.

Incredible cinematography supported by beautiful scoring and music complements this film to be even more extraordinary. Over all, I love it so much. One of the best Japanese movie I've ever seen. Of course, I'll be watching this again, without a doubt.
