time is worth it

When I read it, only two words flashed through my mind.
like.
Because it is very comfortable, because it is warm, because the scenery is beautiful, because the colors are soft, because it is a little humorous, because it is a little moved.
A story of two girls, one boy is the lead.
I like to say hello in a ballet pose when flowers meet Alice.
I love that Flower and Alice are showering each other with cherry blossoms under the blooming cherry trees.
I love that Alice said "I love you" in the Chinese that she just learned to her dad when the train closed.
I love that Alice said "I love you" and "Goodbye" to silly Zheng in Chinese, and then left without looking back while she was asking what it meant.
I love every photo I take with the girls who practice ballet with Flowers and Alice.
I like that the girl who took the photo said to Alice and to the flower, "Don't quarrel", even though the girl is very ugly and her acting skills are quite average.
I love that Alice dances a long way in her homemade dance shoes but I don't get bored watching the ballet at all.
I love the twisted face of the flower that is choking and saying "if you like Alice, that's true love" but I don't find it ugly at all.
I love every cute and funny lie Flower and Alice tell.
I like that flowery umbrella that flowers always hold up on rainy days.
I love Alice's wiggly face as she performs eating the chocolate bar.
I love that red mosquito bite in the center of Alice's nose on the magazine cover.
These are imprints that I can't erase with an eraser.
I wanted to watch this for a long time, because it is a film by Shunji Iwai, although I really don't like love letters.
Great.
I was not disappointed.
You might not like it, or it might resonate with me.
It doesn't matter either.
I think the two hours of ten and a cup of chrysanthemum tea for flowers and Alice tonight are well worth it, that's enough.
