The film stars Riisa Naka (the voice of Makoto in the 2006 animated film) as Akari, the 18-year-old daughter of the protagonist of the original novel, Kazuko Yoshiyama (played by Narumi Yasuda). When Kazuko is injured in a car accident and falls into a coma, Akari leaps back in time to the 70s to seek out her mother’s first love, Kazuo Fukamachi. Instead, she meets a college student named Ryouta (Akiyoshi Nakao) who helps her with her search. (Kazuko Yoshiyama is the aunt in the 2006 Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo anime) |
