Beware of spoilers!

By the very nature of the movie's twist, the truly sad parts of the story only come after everything has been explained. So if you do not want to be spoiled, it's best that you close this page and go watch the film first.

One more warning: Beware of spoilers!


  • When Takatoshi realizes why Emi is okay with following the notebook, and when he learns the truth behind why she would cry at seemingly inopportune times. Every instance that she cried followed an experience she would have with him for the last time, in contrast to him going through it for his first time, including sleeping together, calling each other by their first names, holding hands, etc.
  • On his second-to-last day, after taking the picture with his parents which would be sealed inside Emi's box, Takatoshi cries and mourns that he can't have a family with Emi. It's also in this day that you can see that Emi is still adjusting to being Takatoshi's girlfriend, since it's only her second day with him.
  • At the final day, Takatoshi makes the most out of his last day with Emi by painting her portrait and actually providing all the details of their relationship which would be written in Emi's notebook. At the very last minutes of their day, he reassures the both of them that their lives are still intertwined even if they can't be together, and Takatoshi holds Emi's hand until she disappears at the stroke of midnight.
  • The reprise of the movie's first scene, after knowing what Emi was actually going through. After promising to meet Takatoshi the next day, she cries after entering her train, knowing that it was the last time that they could be lovers.
