    A cute family film.

    This movie is a very cute story about a couple of young girls struggling with typical family problems who find a cute dog and take him in. It's a great story about helping each other and not leaving someone behind just because they are different. This movie is a great showcase introducing the emerging talents of the Hello! Project girls with the H!P kids in the center stage. It's a great family film, and the dog will melt your heart. The acting skills of the younger girls are rusty as this is their first film and they seem to get better as the movie goes on. Lots of different names from the Hello!Project world show up throughout the film. Also a nice look into Japanese every day life and culture. A great addition to any Hello!Project collection.
