Upon searching for random videos on youtube, I've found this movie by chance. Above is the said video. I think the guy singing this song sounds better...but both singers have managed to bring out different flavors of the song.

So I went to see what exactly this movie is...and it's called 5 Centimeters Per Second: a chain of short stories about their distance.



Upon further research in the trust-able wikipedia, It seems that the flim maker, Makoto Shikai, most of his movies have the most depressing ending ever. It's just like one of his movies, The Place Promised in Our Early Days, which I saw in Kinokuniya, yet I didn't have the cash to buy. D:

I think the meaning of the song, "One More Time, One More Chance" is damnnnnnnnnn nice and it actually explains how one would try to find memories of someone he/she loves wherever they went. ):

Quoted from wikipedia:
"Makoto's film gives a realistic view of the struggles many face against: time, space, people, and love. The title 5 Centimeters Per Second comes from the speed at which cherry blossoms petals fall, petals being a metaphorical representation of humans, reminiscent of the slowness of life and how people often start together but slowly drift into their separate ways."

It just shows, how easily people drift apart, once they didn't contact each other after some time. It's realistic.

"Is it life? Yes. Is it unfair? Yes. Is it reality? Yes."

Downloading this movie now. Must watch it later. :D

「"I still love you even now." So wrote the lady I had dated three years ago in her email. But, even if we were to exchange a thousand emails, our hearts would probably move not even one centimeter closer together.」 - an excerpt from the movie, 5 Centimeters Per Second : A Chain of Short Stories About Their Distance.
