In Douban's list of Japanese romance films, "Sainosuke Yokomichi" is a film second only to "Love Letters".
Perhaps it was "Love Letters", released in 1995, that "Yokomichi Seinosuke", which was a latecomer, seemed less dramatic, and more people just regarded it as a good love movie.
But in the movie, it is not only love, about friendship, about life, it has a good expression, like a good glass of wine, after watching it, it is endlessly evocative.

The story takes place in Japan in the 1980s, when a young Yokomichi Seinosuke, born in a coastal city, comes to the bustling metropolis of Tokyo alone. When he first came to Tokyo, he was not too familiar with anything and was a little overwhelmed.
"Well, how much does it cost to rent a house here?" He was slightly nervous and asked the landlord in an unnatural tone about renting. The landlord took one look at the ignorant young man and laughed even more when he knew that his name was "Yokomichi Seinosuke". It turned out that his name was similar to "Ximen Qing" in the meaning of Chinese.
In the face of the landlord's laughter, Seinosuke scratched his head slightly embarrassed.
Seinosuke is such a person, and his presence can always bring laughter to others, of course, not only because of his name. On the day of the first school year, Seinosuke had just met Kurasaki and dragged him along to join the Brazilian samba dance club at the school, and the strange dance made the two laugh all the time. At the same time, I also met my good friends Tsumi and Tsuyoshi Ayano, and although everyone was nervous at first, they could always play happily because of the presence of Shinosuke.
The film uses interludes and flashbacks, with scenes from when several of them meet and friends reminiscing about what happened between Yonosuke many years later. Everyone remembered, and always laughed involuntarily, laughing at his name, laughing at what had happened between them, and there were still a little tears in their eyes. Just thinking about Seinosuke makes it very happy.

In this four-person date, Seinosuke met the innocent Miss Senkin Shoko for the first time, and the two of them talked happily, Shoko was very fond of the cute and interesting, and a little silly Seinosuke.
However, at that time, Seinosuke was relatively slow to face love, and did not notice Shoko's several overtures. Moreover, Seinosuke met Chiharu sister, who has a wealth of life experience and is slightly mysterious, and he has a good feeling for her. However, Sister Chiharu does not have any special feelings for Seinosuke, who has not yet entered the world, but only because Seinosuke has helped her and has a feeling of gratitude to him.
After some time, Seinosuke discovers that what he really likes is not Chiharu's sister, but Shoko, who has been with him all along. Therefore, he decided to take seriously his feelings with Shoko. During the holidays, he invites Shoko to his home. When Shinosuke confesses to Shoko, he also shows his cute side.
The two of them sat together on the beach, and Seinosuke looked at Shoko, brushed her hair, and nervously said to her, "Well, that, to put it mildly, can I kiss you?" Shoko, who was originally embarrassed, suddenly laughed out loud. Unfortunately, the police patrolling the seaside approached them, and they had to run back home.
After that, they spent Christmas together, went to see the snow together, cooked together, and had a lot of fun. However, happiness is always short-lived, and while Shoko was studying abroad, Seinosuke died unexpectedly. An ordinary separation, who knows that it is a farewell.

His best friend Kurashi, because he and Tsumi accidentally gave birth to a child, Kurashi had to take on the responsibility of his father early. However, as a student who dropped out of school, the pressure of life is after all very large. In times of difficulty, Seinosuke gave him a lot of help.
There is a scene in the movie where Kurashi can only move to a low-rent house because of the compulsion of life, and a person can't move, so he finds Seinosuke, looks at Seinosuke's back, he cries and says, "In this city, at this time, I only think that you can help me." "For every friend, Seinosuke is fully committed.
Ayano Tsuyoshi is inferior in many cases for some special reasons, but Seinosuke does not look down on him because of this, and has always regarded him as a friend. When eating watermelon in the summer, Seinosuke will unconsciously give the larger piece to Ayano Tsuyoshi to eat, because he knows that he likes to eat watermelon very much.
Even Sister Chiharu, who made Seinosuke sad, did not hold a grudge against her, but treated her like a sister. Seinosuke's attitude toward life infected everyone around him, a man with a sunny heart, and there was no place left for darkness.

Seinosuke was unfortunate to have left this world at the age of 35; Seinosuke was lucky that many people could still think of him many years after his death.
At the end of the film, three months after Seinosuke's death, Seinosuke's mother writes a reply to Shoko.
