I finally got onto my ass to watch it...I've had quite high expectations for it because of the rave reviews and recommendations all around...
It wasn't as good as I've expected (in terms of being a tear-jerker) but it was really good nonetheless. It has the aura very typical of Jap romance movies...very pure, sweet, touching yet not too exaggerated, slow yet not draggy, unexpected twists, great lighting and scenery, lines with depth, good acting...
I loved it.
Cried quite a bit.

And Hiroshi is so good looking, better than him in Nodame, I feel.
Plus, the theme of the movie revolves around photography, my fav activity, so it was an extra treat to see those beautiful photos of sceneries and people in the movie.
