So, if you are a female, I suggested you to watch this movie, because it’s very touching for us :’)

The story revolves at Yukiko Takigawa, a girl which is love to wear sparkly brightly dress and cute little things at her 29 of age. Of course, people will judge her and tell her to be mature.

And then ,Saeko, a strength woman that has a bright career and have a house-husband with no child. Takako,A woman as single parent that keep struggle to be single mom and try to be a father and mother at the same time for her son’s sake. And the last is Yoko Osaka, a single woman in her 30 years old, and kind of falling love with her new junior at work who’s 12 years younger than her.

This movie is tell us about woman. Woman is a girl too. Yeah, I love that line hehe :D

In Japan,  there’s still a gender ‘things’ about woman and men. I think that’s why they made this movie. Woman can do everything too. Woman can work too, can have a bright career too, wear a sparkly things or being single at over 30 is ok too. There’s nothing wrong with born as a female. there’s nothing wrong if female wants to be independent, or single, or something. We have right to choose our fate, right?

Really, this movie, you girls deserved this.

So, it's all about romance <3 , well, if you a fan of action, thriller, horror, or kind of that movie, I definetly not recomend this movie for you.

The story is about a freelancer writer Aoi  Teshigahara who live in Paris, France. And one day, she met Sen Yagami, a photographer, a Japanese tourist who lost in Paris. He actually go to Paris with his sister, but when they arrived, his sister just runaway from him and go to her boyfriend place.

Just a cliche prologue, and a cliche story by the way. But, well you know about Japanesse romance, right? :p
This movie give us experience about loneliness. About a woman, who live alone, and lonely. And then one day, a man give her a colorful day. Just a little time, but really worth it. And the issue about love with age gap - 12 years- when a woman is older than man.

This movie is kind of slow, and quiet. Realistic romantic, just like that. But it is so sweet and simple too. I love the ending. I can't say it was a happy end or sad end. I called it a realistic ending. Just because some days they spend together, doesn't mean their love should be together...

Anyway I love the soundtrack. The sound of piano.... It emphasize the loneliness feeling :'(
