  So I just read Lian95's review and I realized she(he?) was right, how come no one had written a review of such a good movie? This movie has everything, the right amount of drama, romance, friendship and comedy all blended together to make an awesome movie, a must see. This one of my favorite movies, I've watched it many times.
  
  
  
  The story is great, you really have no way of imagining what's gonna happen next, but I won't anything more about it because otherwise I'd spoil it for those who haven't watched it yet.
  
  
  
  The acting really blows my mind, I've always loved Tamaki, ever since I saw Nodame Cantabile, and he always plays his part perfectly wether it be here, in Nodame, in Love Shuffle or any of his other dramas and movies. The female lead, whose name I can't remember right now, also plays her part perfectly, her more than anybody because her role was really hard to play. I hate her in real life because she's one of Japan's biggest divas, in the BAD sense of the word, and that's why admire her even more in this movie-because I love her character.
  
  
  
  The music always goes according to the scene, it makes you feel what the characters are feeling.
  
  
  
  I've watched this movie several times with different people, and every time I watch it again I discover something new.
  
  
  
  Overall this is one of the greatest japanese movies that I've ever seen because unlike must jap movies this one actually makes me feel something, this one gets to the heart instead of being overvdepressing, I recommend it for anyone who likes memorable love stories. read more

It is totally recommanded, so don't hesitate to watch it because maybe it will be your favorite movie! All my other friends loved it too. So whatcha waiting for, GO NOW & WATCH IT!

  They are both very romantic and have the same feeling of love. They'll both make you laugh and cry sometimes at the same time.

  They both have almost the same story where the lead actress have a disease and fall in love. They have a very touching and romantic story.
