If you loved Daytime Shooting Star, try Beyond the Memories
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Beyond the Memories has roughly 7.4× fewer votes than Daytime Shooting Star — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
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.
