Production

The film was announced in November 2008. The script was written by Gabrielle Zevin, the author of the novel the film was based on. When the film was announced, it was given the working title of Lost Memories. Filming began on 26 November 2008 and ended in early January 2009.

The film was originally planned to be shot and produced in the United States. However, the director decided that it would be better to make the film in Japan where the cultural aspects of the setting would enrich the story. The high school setting in the original story was changed to an international school for the film. This meant the film contained approximately a quarter of the English conversation as was in the original story.

Release

The film opened in March 2010 on 247 screens in Japan. It was the 10th top earning film its opening weekend.
