Nanami thinks him an insufferable tease, until she experiences his gentler, lonelier side and falls fast and hard. There she reminisces about her first encounter with Motoharu Yano (Ikuta), the most popular boy in her second-year class in high school.
We first see our heroine, Nanami Takahashi (Yoshitaka), as an adult returning to her hometown of Kushiro, Hokkaido, for a classmate’s wedding.

Also, Miki, working with scriptwriter Tomoko Yoshida, has created moment after poignant moment that will inspire many a sniffle and sigh, not to mention TV variety-show parodies. That hardly anything about the entire enterprise is original will not stop the manga’s millions of fans from buying tickets instead its familiarity will be one of its attractions. (I will not say whether they are saving that for Part 2.) For another, the two leads, Toma Ikuta and Yuriko Yoshitaka, are both hot now, appearing in a multitude of TV dramas, films and - that truest indicator of mass popularity - ad campaigns. (It’s usual to space episodes of multipart films by at least six months.) I’m willing to bet, though, that their gamble will pay off big time.įor one thing, Part 1 methodically serves up audience-pleasing plot points, missing only a poetically agonizing terminal illness. Two- and three-part Japanese films have racked up superlative box-office numbers in recent years, but most are in the sci-fi/action genres and appeal to both genders, so the producers of “We Were There” are taking a risk, especially in opening the two parts so close together. Directed by Takahiro Miki, a music video maestro whose first feature was the 2010 romantic drama “Solanin,” the first part will be released on March 17, the second on April 21. But a media consortium led by Asmik Ace has gone a bold step farther in making “Bokura ga Ita (We Were There),” a romantic drama based on a megahit manga by Yuki Obata, into a two-part epic clocking in at nearly four hours total.
