How many of you guys Jdrama lovers who just thought of one day you walk away from home go to other places where theres no one that know you? well Im one of those, actually watching drama is just my one way of escaping reality.
The story is about a girl who just came out of prison and being like that is not a good thing specially in japan, you will be treated different and not just you but also your family.....she just felt nobody understand her and she's just a burden so she left, making one million yen in each places she goes then repeat the process again and again.
Its a relaxing movie to watch, the scenery is great from beach to farm to shopping district. There are moments where there are no background music and all you can hear is sounds....waves, wind, walking etc. so yes its one of those slow japanese movie so its not for everyone.
Two main actors I like are in this movie aoi yu and moriyama....IMO these two actors are the best showing emotions without talking and aoi yu for me is the female moriyama LOL. This movie has open ending...and I really like open ending in a movie, cause with that we have our own interpretation so our attachment to the film will continue even after the ending credits and this movie has a great ending credits song that really embodies what a ending credits song/music is suppose to be, which should bring the feels that summarize what you just watch. THE FINAL KICK!!!

The film was a bit draggy, but a couple of indie film lovers would probably like this. The cinematography was quite nice for a low budgeted film but nevertheless the cast were big timers which was unexpected.
I loved Aoi's role here as Suzuko, she made the character much realistic. Her features would show a calm girl on the outside but could burst like a bubble any moment. The younger brother Satoru was a good supporting actor and made Suzuko's role much more stronger because of him.
The main character Suzuko, skipped from town to town, changing places as soon as she saves up 1 million yen, professing that she's really not finding herself but instead running away from circumstances that lead from one thing to another. In the end, love crept on to her and she had no way to shrug it off but basically, the story revolved around Suzuko skipping towns, meeting new people and her younger brother whom she left behind, trying to be strong against the bullies in his school.
There was only this thing that confused me in the end. Her dialogue at the ending sort of put my understanding for last 1/3 part of the film. I think the director or script writer intended that to confuse their viewers to make their own conclusions. Which I usually tend to hate because it means its one of those cliff hangers again.
Soundtrack wise, the ending was cute. Reminded me of Synesthezia's ending theme song which was just perfect. There wasn't much dialogue in it that would be very memorable, except for the one where the main character had a conversation with her brother and at the ending part where some sort of confusing revelation/not was given.
Over all the film give an impact but wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be.

things had escalated quickly but in a smooth way taking us to different stations of her life how she had being bullied and explaning the reasons that had her decide to live the free worry life.
people can sometime be mean toward you without even making the attempt to understand your reasons, circumstances or feelings and that summarize most of her journeys.
what Ryohei did although it was kind of cute but at the same time not justifying to any of them. The end was really teasing and provoking.
In general a really sweet and soft movie

Very watchable and pretty, but then, if Yu Aoi wasn’t in it, I might say something else entirely.

When I say simplicity, it wasn't that the plot was boring or too thin. But, the way they presented the story, the character's struggles and her way of thinking and making ends meet was really good, simple, clean and realistic. Plus, the love story was realistic as well.
The acting, in addition, was really good. Especially the leading lady was phenomenal.
However, the ending was so so, as it left many questions answered. And that felt like the movie was presenting just a glimpse of the girl's life.
So, overall, six out of ten.
