Might be cute for those who never watched the anime / read the manga. However, it was very disappointing for me. This is probably because I watched the anime before and loved it, so I had HUGE expectations for this when the film was announced, but I don't it is anywhere near to being as good as the anime.

It might have been better if they made it into a 12-episode (at least) drama as it was obvious that they rushed the story in this movie (a lot isn't covered and it just doesn't seem complete nor as fulfilling).

However, I think the actors portrayed their roles amazingly well, especially Yamazaki Kento. He is such a good actor and so good-looking too!! >< The female lead was also really good. The only biggest problem I find with this is that it is way too rushed due to the short time available in a movie. I hope they decide to make a drama version of this movie soon!

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE. I feel like crying even though it's not even a sad movie. It is so inspirational (motivated me to play piano) and just... BEAUTIFUL. (I just watched it now, so sorry if I sound too emotional).
Everything about it is just perfect, thus the 10/10. It doesn't have that hurried feeling that most j-movies have and the story is really amazing.
The only reason the re-watch value is so low is simply because I never like to rewatch anything... unless I forget about the plotline completely.

This movie is definitely a 2016 must-match, so go watch it NOW! XD

One of the best japanese movies I've watched and probably the best one I've watched from 2017, even though I don't really like miwa as an actress.
The story might seem a bit cliché, but I think it was carried out in a way that made it stand out from any other time-travel romance movie. It really hooks you in and my face flowed like a river of tears. It was just brilliant.

The acting was also pretty good, but I admit I might be biased since this had Sakaguchi Kentaro and Tanabe Seiichi.

The music was 10/10. Even though I don't really like miwa as an actress (but I guess she's also pretty new to it), I do admit is one hell of a singer. I was also surprised to hear Sakaguchi sing. There's really nothing to criticize about the song and, even though they're love songs like most other, they fit perfectly in the scenes they were inserted (they only made me cry more in the ending - just plain beautiful).

Rewatch value is low since I never rewatch anyhing.

Great movie! Recommend it to everyone!

Cute but weird. The story was also a bit confusing and tiring at times with the main actress jumping from one guy to the other.

The main turnoff for me was actually the acting. It made the whole story less credible. The only good actor was Nagano Mei and she played a secondary role. But I guess it is quite understandable since Inoo Kei is quite new to acting and Yamamoto Mizuki is mainly a model. Thus, overall, the cast choice wasn't that great and it deflates the value of the story itself.

I had high hopes for this movie since the manga is so famous but :/ I was honestly disappointed.
