As the pair views some of Noeru's paintings, something unusual begins to stir deep within Mamiya. Later, after continuing the interview over dinner, Mamiya and Noeru share an intimate encounter in a restaurant stall. But this isn't just a casual fling, and as the relationship between Mamiya and Noeru gradually begins to evolve into something more meaningful, both men discover that the external pressures of jealously and addition, as well as the demands of a maintaining professional careers, could prove powerful enough to prevent them from understanding the profound nature of their relationship. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I love this movie. It just sad. The quotes, there were special. Noeru has been drawing/painting since he was young. I amazing that the plot of how much one painting, show Noeru (Takumi Saito) emotion and the sad memories of his friend, Ken, who promises him to take him to the oc... read moreean together. Both weeks later, Ken dies. And Noeru is taking emotion and promises hard . . thus, sleep with a lot of one-night-stands. But he opens up to Yoshikazu Kotani character, a hot reports. That help Noeru with his feelings.

    But I really, Really enjoy the quotes during the movie.
