I haven't cried this hard since... The Travelling Cat Chronicles with Fukushi Sota. Or maybe Fortuna's Eye with Kamiki Ryunosuke. And just like in the latter, it hits painfully hard when the POV is switched from "his" to "hers" and you see the story enfolding backwards...I think it's better to watch this movie completely unspoiled, without knowing what's going on. Because that way, it's all the more painful - and all the more beautiful, Takatoshi & Emi's love story.
And what a love story this is! Fukushi Sota & Komatsu Nana make a beautiful couple in this movie, their chemistry is simply awesome. If nothing else then that makes it worth watching.
Truly, when I finished it, I immediately went back and re-watched some of the highlights, now knowing what's going on. And, wow, it was truly all there, the hints. And when you know and you go back and you watch it... it breaks your heart into itty bitty pieces!

"Will I see you again?"
I interested with this film after read the synopsis, and I was like what the heck is romance limited by time. But when I watched I understand how it works, and shows potential to be a good and touching love story.The power of this film I think was the story (of course), directing, acting & the backsound/soundtrack.
I think I wanna cry while watching this film, for real the emotion was there at every scene. Moreover when I realize/understand the story, it makes my heart breaks a little.
Glad that this film/story take Takatoshi POV so it was more structured, and can build up the emotions smoother. So when in the end it changes the POV to Emi, it was blow up the emotions that have been built from the start.
What makes it really hurt was because this is a romance film so they share a lot of happy moment together and I don't want it to end. And I think Emi side when it come to the last day was more hurt for me, you have been make a lot of happy moment but after that you can't do that again, I will cry like she did after she gets on the train for sure.
And actually I don't understand the ending, can someone try explain it to me?

I am so sad, yet emotionally fulfilled !!!
The sweet and pleasant relationship established between the two leads, helped by two wonderful central performances, is more than enough to get you engrossed in the story at hand, and when push came to shove in some of the more emotional moments, I was genuinely being pushed close to tears, something that I could never have expected after that opening scene, which is why I’m giving Tomorrow I Will Date With Yesterday’s You a 8.5 overall.The cute thing is that Emi fukuju will cry each time that a good thing will happen. But later on you would finally decide why emi was easily moved to tears, the part which i love. & i loved how the film's title appears forty-one minutes into the movie.
P.S Takatoshi and Emi fit each other so well, it is good to see them being together. Their relationship is adorable. I do agree that the whole idea of different timelines moving is amazing, but I'm not quite sure how to make it when it comes on screen. Nana Komatsu's eyes illuminated by sunlight are enough to make anyone fall in love at first sight.

A love story spanning different worlds
The story begun as everything normal yet unexpectedly perfect but soon the truth is revealed.The pacing of the story was just perfect. A perfect beginning, a perfect ending. Story-wise, I have no complaint.
Acting was good, Nana Komatsu particularly stood out from the rest.
Classic Japanese Cinematography and direction, totally loved it!
Also the music compositions and direction, absolutely top notch, memorable and crafted around the story!!
Great production quality as well.
If you are looking for a bittersweet romance drama movie with a twist, this is it!! Even if you aren't looking for it, watch this anyway if you have the time!!

A must watch movie
What I really liked about this movie is the plot which integrates an unexpected twist. I was so mind blown with the plot twist. This is my favorite movie along with heavenly forest.What hooked me the most is their acting.
Acting- their acting is so great that you will really feel their emotions, even only with their eyes alone.
I have watched this movie many times and still is worthy to rewatch. Please spread this great movie...
Ps. I don't really like to watch movies with sad/heartbreaking ending before, but because of this movie, it became my favorite genre as it reminds me that "not all endings are happy, but not happy endings means it's sad, but rather the characters attained satisfaction and don't need to greed for more".

bittersweet slow burn
This has instantly become one of my favorite jmovies. Once I was able to completely grasp the time traveling concept, it became super bittersweet but it was still beautiful. The concept is so creative and well thought out, I think something about it not being a perfect happy ever after is what makes it so perfect. My heart broke after the midway point when Emi revealed to Takotoshi the truth about the future them and how the times are reversed for eachother. honestly a slow burn. Some tears were shed but I honestly knew what I was signing up for, except I didn't know how well thought out and well-executed the plotline was.Nothing surprising from Nana's top tier acting :) Fukushi Sota was also super suited for the role so the casting was 10/10 for me. (he kind of resembled Kai from exo in the beginning lol) OST was really good as well. Overall, really recommend this movie if you're down to watch something incredibly cinematic and beautiful but sad at midnight haha.

The Curious Case of Fukuju Emi
It is better to have love and lost, than never to have loved at all. In theory I agree. But I want my romcoms to have a happy ending and here.....I am still trying to figure out what happened here. It is basically a japanese version of Benjamin Button: two people meet at different moments in their lives but they are on opposite time trajectories and can be happy and in love only once in the lifetime and only for 30 days.
I love time travel, parallel universe stories but this one is not a fun or uplifting one. In spite of all the cuteness (and the actors are both really cute!) this was a terrible movie to watch. When I realized sometimes halfway through, where this movie was going, I wanted to drop it. I did not because I hoped, against hope, that they would manage to find a way to sort it out. Spoiler alert: they did not.
I wish somebody had told me it was Benjamin Button. As much as I liked Brad Pitt, the movie was horrible. Just like this one: it is depressing and hopeless!
I had seen the chinese version, but it has nothing to do with the plot of this film so I am a bit confused as to why they put that version's link on this film's page.
Another thing I do not understand is the ending. It is the beginning. Are they stuck in a time loop?
