Yukuharu
The story is about a little girl's sadness towards the impermanence of things or mono no aware in Japanese.
Liked the conversation between the protagonist and the little boy who is his classmate as they walked home from school! They reminded me of Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke in "Before Sunset". The dream sequences were interesting too! The ending was a little bit too sad though.

Blind Date
The story is about two neighbors falling in love with each other despite not having seen each other. Their wall is not sound proof and they could talk to each other.
Liked this charming little film! Can't really tell how great the piano performance was though except through the audience's reaction.
