What they share

Both films are directed by Takehiko Shinjo, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Daytime Shooting Star, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Beyond the Memories is

Even childhood ghosts can’t stay buried forever—though they might bring extra baggage. Kanna and Roku meet over mutual grief and find time, long stalled, unexpectedly restarting. A weepy romance wrapped in supernatural wish-fulfillment that probably wouldn’t survive daylight.
