The dialogue was good, but the chemistry was even better. I think that people wait their entire lives to make a connection with another human being like that. It never got slow for me, and it kept my interest. I (and the reviewers) may be a lone voice on this one.

You are not alone. I saw it before Christmas and I'm still thinking about it. I went with the guy I'm dating and he'd seen it before and liked it enough to want to see it again.
It is a fabulous mood piece and it really captures the atmosphere of Tokyo -- kookiness mixed with sweetness.
What do you think is the meaning of the title?
