It stars Miyu Irino and Kana Hanazawa, and features music by Daisuke Kashiwa instead of Tenmon, who had composed the music for many of Shinkai's previous films. The theme song, "Rain", was originally written and performed by Senri Oe in 1988, but was remade for the film and was sung by Motohiro Hata. The film was made into a manga, with illustrations by Midori Motohashi, and later novelized by Shinkai, both in the same year as the film. ## Credits - **Director:** [Makoto Shinkai](https://cinepixo.com/people/makoto-shinkai) - **Screenplay:** [Makoto Shinkai](https://cinepixo.com/people/makoto-shinkai) - **Director of Photography:** [Makoto Shinkai](https://cinepixo.com/people/makoto-shinkai) - **Editor:** [Makoto Shinkai](https://cinepixo.com/people/makoto-shinkai) ## Cast - [Fumi Hirano](https://cinepixo.com/people/fumi-hirano) - [Megumi Han](https://cinepixo.com/people/megumi-han) - [Yuka Terasaki](https://cinepixo.com/people/yuka-terasaki) - [Mikako Komatsu](https://cinepixo.com/people/mikako-komatsu) - [Kana Hanazawa](https://cinepixo.com/people/kana-hanazawa) - [Suguru Inoue](https://cinepixo.com/people/suguru-inoue) - [Takeshi Maeda](https://cinepixo.com/people/takeshi-maeda) - [Miyu Irino](https://cinepixo.com/people/miyu-irino) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
