We can never predict tomorrow, everything can be fleeting. In my opinion, although this is a flimsy youth film, it looks very shallow, but it fits the pure beauty of youth and the deep emotions implied by us human beings. An express train, a bridge, and a house are all the flowing steps left by youth. What the film makes us think about is how we should face when we are caught off guard. Of course, not as involved in the film.
The 20-year-old Nanshan Takashou (played by Sota Fushi), went to school at Kyoto Beauty University. On the train, he fell in love with Jingmei's Fushou Aimi (played by Komatsu Nana) at first sight, and took the initiative to chat with her. Nanshan Gao Shou is the kind of boy who is shy, introverted, and not good at words. Fushou Aimei said, "Why me, why did I attract you." The guy said that I fell in love with you when I saw you. You can see the ecstasy in her heart and her hiding, but she is sincere.
The fresh beauty of Fushou Aimei makes people look a little immortal, a little naughty, a little sad, but nothing shows any traces. This is something that simple stunned youth cannot perceive. Nanshan Gao Shou's simplicity is also reflected in his steps to fall in love. He likes to fall in love according to a fixed formula. A straight look shows his simplicity, which corresponds to the complexity of Fushou Aimei. The fun is here too.
The film shows the month-to-month process from the 1st to the 30th day of their love affair. On the first day, he confessed his love to her. On the second day, he painted giraffes at the zoo, and she took the initiative to find him. And said that his paintings were hung in the school's column. On the third day, under the encouragement of his classmates going up the mountain, he took the initiative to call her to watch a movie together. They passed the Sanshan Bridge, went shopping together, ate pizza together, and watched movies together.
Nanshan Gao Shou said that if he likes someone, he wants to share everything with her. They stood in front of the fire tree silver flower in the night. She suddenly said that I have been watching you all my life. I am self-willed and self-willed, and my lacrimal glands are still low because of food. He said I like it all. On the 4th day, after Nanshan Gao Shou moved, she came to the new house and saw an old locked notebook he kept, she was a little surprised.

He said that when he was 5 years old, he fell into the water and was rescued by a big sister. After 5 years, when he was 10 years old, the big sister gave him this notebook and asked him to keep it well. Listen, her tears are about to overflow. He said let's hold hands. On day 5, she was cooking and she said you like the taste of chocolate. He asked strangely how do you know, and you said that my paintings were hung in the school, you knew in advance, I never told you. She said that I actually fell in love with you at first sight. He was still dumbfounded, feeling weird.
She said what would you do if I really had the ability to predict. He smiled and said I didn't want to know. On the 15th day, she helped him cut his hair. He couldn't help but say I wanted to hug you. She said cheerfully then hug. Then kisses, then sleep together. Waking up in the middle of the night, he took her to the platform to catch the last express train. He finally brought her home, and the parents didn't believe their son would be in a relationship.
41 minutes into the film, the title "Tomorrow's Me and Yesterday's You Date" (2017) appeared. Directed by Takahiro Miki and adapted from the novel of the same name by Takashi Qiyue, this film is beautiful and illusory. It seems that the director is slow, so mysterious. But we don't have to jump to conclusions. For a thing we do not know, only by listening patiently, we will understand everything.
On the 16th day, Fushou Aimei solemnly told him that when you fell into the water at the age of 5, it was me who saved you. After 5 years, it was also me who gave you the notebook for safekeeping, because I live in a different world from you, and you are in good time. Yes, I am counter-chronological. I can only appear once every 5 years and can only stay for 30 days at a time. You now know why I know what will happen to you in the future, because I experienced it in advance, not foreknowledge.
This completely overwhelmed Nanshan Gao Shou, he was dumbfounded, how could this happen, she left, so that he could calm down. It was not until the 19th day that he said to her, I have surpassed and overcome the fragility in my heart, let us create our own memories together. At the 77th point of the film, on the 22nd day, he finally said "I love you!" to her. Their relationship became deeper and more continuous.

On March 15th, his 29th day, hers 2nd day, they clung to each other. March 16th, her last day, his 30th day, was also the last day he saw her. He repeats what she said, we will not miss, we rely on each other are two extremes, we will eventually become one. They sat on the platform chairs as if waiting for another train.
But at 12 o'clock, she disappeared on time. It turned out that the disappearance of a lover was an unspeakable insensitivity. Fortunately, they will meet again after 5 years. But when she reappeared, she had no memory of the past, and only waited for the 25-year-old to wake him up. In the dim light of a trance, she slowly stepped in, and they were together again, only for a month, and then they had to wait another 5 years.
Such a cycle, such a torment. Their waiting is the same. Just like his timing, waiting for her eternal timing, this is pure love that will never stop. It seems that this is such a cruel youth story, but it is a possible experience for everyone in the parallel world of reality, but it exists in another form.
The love of others, the world of others, we are always indifferent, but we like to judge, this is the inferiority of superficial human nature. For example, a long-distance relationship separated by a long distance, that kind of sticking to it without hesitation, isn't it just the reappearance of this kind of good and bad time. A pair of lovers, in a time and space that does not seem to be equal, but in the insistent equality, cultivate the fruit of love, full of poetry.
Jumping to conclusions is one of our human vulgarities. They ignore the powerful inner force contained in emotion. They ignore the differences between people. They only like to see this colorful world from their own eyes. They like to see other people's lives in a single and arbitrary way. What this film touches us is the pervading charm and slightly sad tone of this constant energy conservation.
