In 2010, Kazuko Yoshiyama (Narumi Yasuda) works as a pharmaceutical researcher secretly developing a formula for time travel. When she is left comatose after a car accident, her daughter Akari learns of her mother's first love, Kazuo Fukamachi (Kanji Ishimaru), from Kazuko's friend Goro Asakura (Masanobu Katsumura). Believing that finding Kazuo will allow her mother to regain consciousness, Akari uses Kazuko's formula to leap back in time to the 1970s in hopes of finding a younger Kazuo. Instead, she meets and befriends Ryota Mizorogi (Nakao Akiyoshi). Together, they attempt to search for Kazuo, but love begins to blossom between Akari and Ryota, despite the fact that Akari must eventually return to the future.

  I watched the anime version first, and was looking for a live action version that followed the same story line as the anime, but I found this. I wasn't really expecting much from it as I knew it was a very altered story line and for the first 20/30 minutes I wasn't very open minded about it. At the start the graphics were quite bad and I didn't see how it was at all related to the anime. But as the movie went on, I found myself completely engrossed in it, and I was very pleased to see that it did manage to fit in a connection with the anime - which I thought was actually quite clever too.
  
  So I rated this movie so high because I really wasn't expecting to like it, but by the end I was bawling like a baby, and any film that can do that is a good one in my books. read more

  This movie was absolutely amazing! I am really surprised why no one has reviewed this film yet. This movie had many different elements to it and also very good actors. It had many surprise twists and left me on the edge of my seat in anticipation. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a good movie with a surprising ending!
