This is one of that movies that, when asked, I would say, is simply beautiful. The story of one of the main leads having a disease isn't original, but how the story of the main leads go in this movie is really good. I think it could really be described as "inspiring". The acting is very good. Despite that, I don't think anyone stood out in acting, though. They are up to standard, but not to the point that they'll be immediately added as one of your fave actors. That's my opinion only, though. Anyway, it's good to know that Yui, one of my favorite Japanese singers, could act well. If there's one thing that I would miss after watching this movie, it's the music. I really loved the music in this movie. Add the fact that I loved the meaning of the songs played. This is definitely one of those movies that I'd love to re-watch. This is a very good movie. I really think this is worthy to be added in the list of those movies you want to have a marathon with.
