Viewing Notes

This is another Japanese young romance flick that is sweet as it is sad. I started watching this on my last trip to Japan expecting to finish it on the return flight but it wasn’t available! Finally I was able to see the entire film and it’s really wonderful. Aoi Miyazaki plays the geeky, weird girl perfectly (complete departure from her role as the other Nana in Nana). Recommended if you love J-Drama.
