If you loved Farewell Song, try I Just Wanna Hug You

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. 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 Akihiko Shiota, and they both carry the cozy, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Farewell Song, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
