The sequel to the smash hit film (the first film also was the Opening Night Film of the 9th HIFF Spring Showcase in 2006)! Spring, 1959 - four months after the events of the first film. The Olympics in Tokyo has officially been announced, and Japan is about to take its first step into a period of high economic growth. Chagawa still loves Hiromi though she has left, and he continues living with Junnosuke. Meanwhile, Norifumi, proprietor of the Suzuki Auto shop on Third Street, dreams of expanding the family business. Japan's best actors populate this charming, nostalgic throwback to a more innocent time, and top-notch production design and special effects recreate post-war Tokyo with verisimilitude. Already a hit In Japan, like its predecessor, don't miss this special North American premiere!

This was fairly independant of the first film storyline wise. The characters were the same and some of the character relationships would be clearer if you've seent he first but it's not required at all. The first film was mainly involved with telling stories about families, gaining, maintaining and losing. This time around it was all about love. All in all a great film and very enjoyable.
