If you loved You've Got A Friend, try Strobe Edge
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Ryuichi Hiroki, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to You've Got A Friend, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Strobe Edge is
Here's a film that asks: can a girl get a boyfriend just by being relentlessly nice? A high-schooler falls for a popular classmate who already has a girlfriend, then pines. Strobe Edge is a pretty good primer on the complexities of Japanese high-school dating, for those interested.
