Your Name

Countryside high-schooler Mitsuha Miyamizu and Tokyo architecture student Taki Tachibana begin waking up inside each other's bodies several days a week, leaving phone memos until the swaps abruptly stop.

Executes a mid-film temporal twist around Itomori's comet strike that recontextualizes every playful early scene. Showcases CoMix Wave Films' hyper-detailed Shinjuku cityscapes and golden-hour kataware-doki skies. Propels emotional montages with RADWIMPS' rock-pop anthems Zenzenzense, Sparkle, and Nandemonaiya. Sticks the red Suga Shrine staircase ending after years of Makoto Shinkai bittersweet near-misses.
