- Actor Yagi won the best actor at the 57th Cannes Film Festival. But because Yagi had an exam at the time, he could not receive the award in France. The director accepted the award on his behalf . On May 26, 2004, Yagi's official award ceremony for the best actor at the 57th Cannes Film Festival was held in Tokyo, Japan .
- The filming took one and a half years. During this time, director Hirokazu Koreeda almost got along with the children in the film day and night, not only instructing them to make the film, but also taking care of them in life. Sometimes they would accompany the children like a big brother. Go to the park to play.
- Since the main characters of the film are underage children, they don't understand many things and need guidance from adults. Director Hirokazu Koreeda rehearsed many times with them. In the film, there was a scene of catching water at a rockery in the park, which was repeated no less than 10 times .
