The film sold over 1.33 million tickets during the first three days and earned a whopping 1.88 billion yen (approx. US$13.49 million). It grabbed the #1 place at the box office, finally putting ‘One Piece Film: Red’ at #3 during its 15th weekend.

Shinkai’s work is famous for its breathtaking scenery, complex characters, and some soul-touching music. As if those three factors weren’t enough, the filmmaker is a great writer and gives us a story that shakes us from the inside.
Even if you don’t like Shinkai’s films, there’s no way you feel the same about the music too. There’s not one otaku who doesn’t have ‘Nandemonaiya’ on their playlists, and RADWIMPS is why.
