💕LITTLE NIGHTS, LITTLE LOVE English Trailer from GAGAIntl on YouTube.
A film adaptation of the original novel Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Isaka Kotaro.
Market researcher Sato is a dreamer who hopes for a dramatic "meet-cute" encounter for his love life. When he is conducting a survey on the street (which no one obviously cares about), an attractive woman agrees to answer. Could this be the one he is looking for?
Featuring a collection of interrelated characters including a boxing champion fighting tough battles, friends and colleagues of Sato, and a bullied boy and his sister—all these stories intertwine during the span of 10 years. Perhaps there is more to love than meets the eye.
Starring Miura Haruma, Tabe Mikako, Harada Taizo
