    Nice song, but less intense

    Loved each song, ideas, but little bit confuse between about love (Focus on Kana can confusing it's about Aki's love) or the meaning of memory it self.

    Good songs and storyline

    This movie is very sentimental and gives you chills. The actors done a very good job to transmit the story. A very memorable movie with a story that touches your heart.

    Not only about moving on but also about having aspiration and finding inspiration

    Though there are drama and fantasy, the film is pure in its core. All emotions the story wants you to feel are all here. That and great pieces of music made me cherish this film.

    It's also worth to mention, everything presented on the screen is well-though-out. Sure, the story is touching plus, the actors are great. But the transition from one scene to another; not to mention, to a different emotion and season as time pass by is breathtaking.

    A perfect example is, the shadow formed when our main character Kubota Sota played by Kitamura Takumi handed the tape to Murase Kana played by Kubota Sayu at night.

    I truly love that one and some other shots. Everything about this film made me look back at my college days. Which reminds me, I NEED A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST!

    If you get the chance to catch Our 30-Minute Sessions (2020), please do watch it. Though the storyline of possessing a body to interact with the people you left is not new, I can guarantee this film gives you more than an unfinished business that needs to be solved.

    Our 30-Minute Sessions (2020) is not only about moving on but also about having aspiration and finding inspiration.
