your name., Vol. 1 (Your Name. (Manga))

Product Information

At the high school, Tessie and Sayaka are shocked by Mitsuha's cutting her hair, but Taki shrugs it off and tells them that they have to save the town or else everyone will die that night, yet says it loud enough for large numbers of students to hear and treat her as a nutcase.

SIDE NOTE: A lot of questions have been raised about how Mitsuha never realized she was three years in the future, or how Taki never realized he was three years in the past. There is no reason for the characters to become stupid, or amnesiacs, and it detracts from the believability of the characters and the plot.

It just so happens that while Mitsuha is reading this message from Taki, her teacher is explaining the meaning of “tasogare-doki”. The film was a success on its opening weekend at the Japanese box office, with ¥930 million in gross and 688,000 admissions.

While in Mitsuha's body, Taki accompanies Mitsuha's grandmother Hitoha and younger sister Yotsuha to the Shinto shrine on a mountain near Itomori, leaving an offering of kuchikamizake made with Mitsuha's spit. Director Makoto Shinkai requested him to compose its music "in a way that the music will (supplement) the dialogue or monologue of the characters".Just like Taki and Mitsuha, the past and future comets that will strike Itomori are bound together, regardless of space or time. Taki looks at "his" (but really Mitsuha's) body in the mirror; the camera angle shows her bare back and underwear.
