Satsuki (Nana Komatsu) and Hitoshi (Hio Miyazawa) were lovers. They accidentally met one day near a river and since that day, they have been inseparable. Hitoshi was a calm man while Satsuki was cheerful, especially when she was with Hitoshi.

Their relationship was really cute. Their interaction, their support towards each other. They were literally soulmates.

They decided to live together but suddenly, Hitoshi died in a car accident, when he ushered his brother's (Himi Sato) girlfriend (Nana Nakahara) home.

Satsuki feels very heartbroken. She goes running everyday until she feels her chest burning, just so she can forget Hitoshi. She doesn't sleep well, doesn't eat well. When you feel like you have found someone who is right for you, and then suddenly, he or she passed away, life will never be the same for you. This happens to Satsuki as well.

If Satsuki tries to forget Hitoshi by running everyday, Hitoshi's brother expresses his sadness in a different way. He wears his girlfriend's sailor school uniform everyday.

One day, Satsuki heard about the moon shadow phenomenon. It is said that the phenomenon only happens once in a hundred years. During the end of a full moon, it is said that you can meet the dead for one more time. Will Satsuki meet Hitoshi?

This movie is based on a short story under the same title in the novel 'Kitchen' by Banana Yoshimoto. I have read the book, and I can feel the sadness, the pain, the sorrow that the characters have been through. They lost their loved ones and it will never be easy for everyone. But I love that each character grows as the book (and the movie) goes. This movie is relatively short (only one and a half hours), but I would say that this movie is gonna break your heart. The theme is not easy but relatable in our life. The actors and actresses portray their roles really well so we can feel like we were in the characters' shoes. I love the ending of this movie and the message it conveys, so I will give it 4/5🌟

Japanese Movie Review: Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight (Konya, Sekai kara kono Koi ga Kietemo) [2022]

If you love torturing yourself by watching sad movies like I do, then you need to watch Even if This Love Disappears from the World Tonight (今夜、世界からこの恋が消えても -native title). (The Movie Poster) I will insert the official Twitter here , and more information on AsianWiki here . Maori Hino (Riko Fukumoto) has retrograde amnesia. She basically will forget everything if she falls asleep. When she wakes up, she reads many signs in her room that tell her to read her diary. Her diary is the only thing that can explain her activities before she was asleep. One day, Toru Kamiya (Shunsuke Michieda), a guy from her school, asks her to be his girlfriend. And Maori said yes. Then the story begins. (Shunsuke Michieda as Toru Kamiya) (Riko Fukumoto as Maori Hino) Reading from the synopsis on AsianWiki and other sources, we already know where the story will go. I mean, isn't it already sad that Maori have to face that situation? There is a fake dating trope in this movie. Yes, at first Maori and Toru
