A romance takes place in where it doesn't seem to belong in Tokyo Boy, The story of a girl with a strange illness yet to be labled with a name.
The music in this movie isn't really that much to brag about, But then again it is not really a music-based movie in the first place. I gave it a six as I am neither especially satesfied nor Too greatly dissapointed by it.
This movie will be recommended to people who enjoy psychological movietypes or dramas. The pace is really slow at first, However the movie will manage to catch up with itself. A great movie, Yet not one of the best. It's worth the watch anyways though.

Warning: This film does start with a slow beginning and needs time to develop slowly. The story advances later on in the film. Half of the film consists of flashbacks with repititiveness. If you're not a fan of flashbacks, I highly recommend not watching the film.
The flashbacks give the film edge with the story in different human's perspectives. This was a major plot development which will interest the viewer quickly and be convinced to finish the rest of the film.
Story: Dark, Suspenseful, Psychological, Thought-provoking, Little Romance, Melodrama (Cried a little in certain parts)
-Slow Plot, Boring at times, Fast-Moving from middle to end
A young girl who works at a convenience store falls in love with a boy. She has a pen pal named Night who comforts, protects, and aids her for the 10 years that she has lived in. She writes to him in order to seek advice, stop loneliness, and express her true feelings and the truth of her past life. Since after, complications occurs when Night prevents the boy from seeing the young girl, memory lost, the boy becoming distant and fearful, and the young girl's feelings being torn apart.
Acting/Cast: Former Japanese actress from Hana Kimi, Maki Horikita's role is excellently portrayed. The boy's acting is normal (nothing too special in my opinion) Maki Horikita outshines her parts in this film and this is what makes the theme in the film out of this world!
The father's role is a typical Asian father role where education and status is the main goals. He did a decent job showing the viewers his character's personality.
Music: Piano Playing mainly. Nothing interests me with the sound effects and the music.
This type of film is rarely portrayed in modern society. It takes on a new approach on how to handle this type of situations.
