Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The "Chagawa Ryunosuke" character is named after real-life author Akutagawa Ryunosuke. The Kanji characters of both names are nearly identical. more
Goofs:
Miscellaneous: Just before opening title, Ippei spins the propeller of his toy plane clockwise. When he releases the plane, the propeller is spinning clockwise. The propeller was powered by an elastic band - releasing it would cause the propeller to spin counter-clockwise. The error was noticed in post production but couldn't be fixed without re-shooting the entire continuous one-shot or re-doing the CGI. They decided to leave it in hoping no one would notice (though they revealed the goof in the director's commentary). more

Denki Groove cameo in 50 era tearjerker!, 26 August 2006
8/10
Author: tom-soya from United Kingdom

I was amazed how 1958 Tokyo was recreated so wonderfully and realistically with CG! Great story and character development. It definitely will bring a tear to your eye - though does get a bit over sentimental in places. Which may have some people reaching for a bucket as well as a box of tissues.

The CG effects and set designs are incredible in bringing 50s Tokyo to life - and you will be absorbed into that era.

There is also a cameo from Pierre Taki from Japanese Techno/pop band Denki Groove !! I really enjoyed the movie despite being a bit too sentimental and would recommend this movie to anyone!
