This is an old movie that I don't know why I haven't watch until now, even though one of the actors is Higashide Masahiro.

First of all, there are 6 short stories in this movie and what I like, some of the actors in a story meet or intersect with the actors of other stories. The main thing about this story is that everything has a setting in Tokyo Station. Among the six stories, there are 2 stories that I really like, namely 'A Half Coming-Of-Age Ceremony' and 'Christmas Eve Lover'.

I like 'A Half Coming-Of-Age Ceremony' because it is a family story, where the father has a secret and tries to tell his secret to his 10-year-old son. Many misunderstandings occur between them because the son does not know that his father has stopped working. The son also feels pressured by his father with many rules which he thinks are binding, while the father intends to prepare the child to become an adult, so he can leave peacefully. Everything is about communication between family members and how to deal with common problems. This theme is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

Then about 'Christmas Eve Lover'. I like this story because it is similar to the stories in the manga, where they seem to meet unintentionally, but there is someone who actually makes them accidentally meet. I like where they disliked each other at first, got into a misunderstanding that made Kazuki hate Reiko, but in the end liked each other.

Of course, because these six stories are put together in a 106-minute film, many details are not included in this story. Also, each story does not get the same portion of each other. For examples are Christmas Present and Christmas Courage. I especially want to know the continuation of Christmas Courage, whether Natsumi managed to express his feelings or not. But overall, this movie is quite heartwarming.
