Kazuko Yoshiyama, a third-year junior high school student is cleaning the school science lab with her classmates Kazuo Fukamachi and Gorō Asakura, when she smells a lavender-like scent and faints. After three days, strange events transpire around Kazuko, including the burning of Gorō's house after an earthquake. The next morning, at the exact moment of a car accident, Kazuko is transported 24 hours into the past.

She relives the day and relates her strange experience to Kazuo and Gorō. They don't believe her at first, but they are convinced when she accurately predicts the earthquake and ensuing fire. Fukushima-Sensei, their science teacher, explains Kazuko's new ability is called "teleportation" and "time-leap", and to solve the riddle of her power she must leap back four days.

Finally, Kazuko's determination enables her to make the leap. Back in the science room she meets a mysterious man who has assumed her friend Kazuo's identity. He is really "Ken Sogoru", a time-traveler from AD 2660. His intersection with the girl's life is the accidental effects time-leaping drug. Ken remains for a month and Kazuko falls in love with him. When he leaves, he erases all memories of himself from everyone he's met, including Kazuko.

As the book ends Kazuko has the faint memory of somebody promising to meet her again every time she smells lavender.

Thanks willow, looks like it could be interesting!

Movies should be posted in the General forum when they don't really fit elsewhere, e.g. off-topic, but this seems to fit the Japan forums. So I am moving this to the Japan REQ forum, and changing your thread title to add "[REQ]". It's obviously out on DVD as the subs attest.

This is in conjunction with other youth movies by the same director, some of which also feature magical girls ~16 years old.

Although I am curious and excited for a new North American bluray release of this film (and the others), for those that don't want to wait, there does exist 1080p bluray rips, likely from a previous edition.

According to Night's link, "The [new] 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases will feature extensive new bonus features and artwork for the North American market." I rarely purchase discs anymore, but this is tempting. I have never seen this first iteration of this popular Japanese story, nor the anime renditions. Anyone recommend them?

Unverified links. They display seeders, but sometimes it isn't reliable.

https://bt4gprx.com/magnet/ibCcx3CB4Vi6 ... ULIuLDa9Rc - 28gb, remux. Site displays seeders

https://bt4gprx.com/magnet/7FGpe3PqLfHD ... kcC9LgboIC - 1.92gb yts file, 1080p

There is a high quality 8gb 720p file on CG. If someone is truly itching for it, let me know.

The 1967 Japanese novel that is the source of the story has been adapted over and over again in live action movies with sequels, TV series and yes also anime. The phenomenal 2006 anime "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" was the first version I saw, and it led me to the various live action adaptations ... but not always with English subtitles. (The 2012 Japanese BluRay has only Japanese subtitles. There was a 2006 Hong Hong DVD with English subtitles but I did not get my hands on that.) If this upcoming North American release had appeared years ago I would have been all over it, but I never buy any disks anymore. I am sure I have the little YTS torrent version of the 1983 movie but I am not sure if I have actually watched it. Thus having watched it only without English subtitles from the old BluRay I am not really sure that I caught all the nuances, so I can not really say how good or not good I think it is. I only know that it was incredibly popular in Japan.

Confession time: my posting the notice here was mainly to serve as a reminder for me to watch out for BluRay torrents for this and the other movies after the set gets released. :oops: Then I will have more downloads I don't watch. :P
