  This short movie is for the cat lovers and fans of Nakamura Aoi. The storyline is quite simple yet still plays with our emotions. It shows just how quickly loneliness can disappear when you have a furry companion to keep by your side.
  
  Story-
  Nakamura Aoi's name isn't mentioned (either I didn't hear it or I forgot) instead he is constantly referred to as "friend" by Goyoune, his little kitten. There was quite a nice relationship that the two shared. Aoi played the role of a lonely guy who had dreams of becoming a famous manga artist however had a few issues with it.
  
  Acting/Cast-
  The main actor really suited the role, he had such a sweet smile and character when acting with the cat. The cat's voice actor had a cute voice too which matched the cat. ^^
  
  Music-
  Songs that played fit with the scene, it was chosen well although I think it could've been improved.
  
  Rewatch Value-
  This would be nice to watch with a friend if you're looking for something short and cute to watch. I may rewatch it in the future sometime. read more

  This is so far the only film other than Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu that actually made me cry and made me feel so much emotions. And I usually don't cry at such tender movies and such. On top of that I have a huge weakness for cats, especially kittens and man this short film reminded me of a bond with my first cat. How I miss my kitty (sobs).
  
  The story was really touching and down to the point. What's more it's told in a cat's point of view on what life is like for it and what bonds are between a pet and it's owner. And that no matter what happens, our pets will always be there for us, through good and bad times. I really enjoyed the acting and the music was well point. Thought the characters did a really good job here.
  
  Overall, I highly recommend watching this film, especially if your a cat lover like me or want to see a film about pets (and the bond with their owners). Also if you like something short and sweet and will tug your heartstrings. Trust me, your going to want to get a lot of tissues. And be prepared. This film is sure to bring good tears in your eyes. 5/5 read more

  Both of those films are based on someone who'll adopt a pet, care and cherish him until the end. We saw the relationship between the pets and the master, and both are really touching films.
