hmm... I watched the movie a week or so ago... And I think it is awsome! I love how cute Sho is.

I live in Sydney and I didn't even know about the Japanese Film Festival. Arrggh! I missed it! I always miss these kind of things cry

It's an anime/manga, then a movie,
and after that they made a drama about it ! You're right, sho's caracter is played by Ikuta Toma

I'm a bit disappointed that Sho wasn't in the drama. xD
Cant get enough of seeing him everywhere~
but i think Ikuta Toma suits this roll quite a lot for the drama. He's a good actor and I always loved him in Hana Kimi.

Aside from the fact that I was jun-baited into Arashi, I think Hachikuro was the first thing I watched with one of our boys (I can't know for sure, of course).

And it was Sho, yay!! But wait, back then I thought "It can't be Takemoto, they could find someone who suits better for this role" (sorry, Sho-chan cry

). I was really hung up on anime (it's one of my favourite), thus pretty harsh on movie adaptation, though I really liked the girls (Yuu Aoi was a good choice, I think).

Anyways, I liked the movie very much. Plus, it made me watch less anime and more j-movies and j-dramas -> Hanadan -> Arashi -> no more life and much less money.... ^^'

And imagine my shock when I was checking out Sho's profile at the very beginning: (me reading)"Movies: Hachimitsu to Clover.... eeh? wait, I saw this... EEEHH??! Takemoto..." (*dies*) ;p

It took me a little bit to reconcile Sho's physique with Takemoto (Sho's much more solidly built) but I thought his acting was superb. If I hadn't already been in love with him, I'd have fallen head over heels for him after watching.

It's just that I spent a fair amount of time staring at his face and thinking, "...he looks so tired!" Poor boy was filming, performing, doing the variety shows, and doing extra training for the boat club. I spent most of the movie wanting to see him take a nap. confused

This was the first movie I watched with a stormy boy ^^
i wasn't even an arashi fan at the time and didn't even know who Sho Sakurai was xD
Actually it was awhile that I started to become a fan before i realized that Sho was in this movie...so I had to rewatch it of course =D

I really liked...it was very touching and memorable
Sho was really cute as Takemoto smile

I have this downloaded on my computer but I thinK I'm going to buy the DVD over here in the US now that VIZ has released it. I loooved the drama and I thought Ikuta Toma fit the part perfectly so I'm a little nervous to see Sho in it, he seems more like the smooth type which isn't really like Takemoto but I'm sure he did a good job ^_^ I've only seen Sho's acting in Yamada Taro Monogatari so I'm excited to see him in something else ^_^

I watched this movie a while ago, maybe two months? I thought it was a great movie. I cried so much in it. I think I may just be pathetic ><
Sho did a great job though. I think he played the role of Takemoto very well. And he made the story more intersting. More fun of a movie to watch :P
I wish that they had put Sho in the drama. I need to start watching that one, too...

I watched it a while back.. now I ended up watching it again due to boredom and anxiety of waiting for Sho's new movie..lol

It was painful watching it before.. and it is still painful watching it now~
I didn't watch the anime that much ( only two episodes or so..) but my sister who watched the anime said Sho resembles Takemoto a lot.. ( but I don't know, she's an Arashi fan too, so she just might be a bias like me whistle

XD)
the only person in the movie that I thought didn't match the character in anime is Mayama... cause in the anime Mayama is kindda.. cool.. but in the movie he's more like a...nerd.. Eh?

I wanted to watch the movie because I've seen some episodes of the anime and I wanted to see how Sho does as Takemoto. Well, he was good and I thought he was really sweet but anime Takemoto just does more for me. Also, anime!Morita > movie!Morita but I totally loved movie!Yamada.

I watched it sometime ago so I couldn't really say much. It was a really pretty movie though.

I loved the anime and the movie...I like to see Sho-chan in the roll of takemoto-kun but I really do not like the others.

Ahhh , Viz Media released this movie on DVD here in the US but I can't find it in any stores. I could buy it on-line but I want to go to a normal store and see Sho on the shelf staring back at me >_<
