Sae (Aragaki Yui) and Kohei (Ikuta Toma) first meet when the latter tries to help Sae get to her driving test. However, the ensuing accident during the effort causes Kohei to quit school and work for his fisherman father (Matsushige Yutaka), while Sae loses her chance to study in a prestigious Tokyo university. The two eventually fall in love, but are separated when Sae takes a second opportunity to go to Tokyo. Even though they are committed to a long-distance relationship, Sae's friendship with handsome photographer Junichi (Mukai Osamu) and Kohei's struggle to keep his father's business afloat threaten to drive them apart.

I just got around to watching my copy. I really enjoyed the movie, and the PQ was very solid. I was a little surprised by the movie's scope - it follows the two leads from high school to college years to what I assume is their late 20s/early 30s. The "action" moves from Japan to New York to Canada. Aragaki Yui is required to speak English in several scenes. The acting is mostly good too. Highly recommended for fans of Japanese romantic dramas.

I really want to check this out. Might import it because of the cheap price.
