i think i should just prepare to have my tissues on standby when a movie is starring Kaya Kiyohara at this point. This movie is so beautiful it goes beyond words, the cinematography was sooo wow and the musical scores gave me goosebumps. haven't watched an endearing coming of age movie in so long and now i'm so struck.
