It's one of the best Japanese series I've ever watched. :) It's heart- warming & touching. The actors are all great in their roles, Takeru & Hikari, as well as the younger actors who played their younger selves, Rikako & Taisei are both effective in their roles as well. The pacing is enough, not too slow nor too fast. The soundtrack of course, made it even better. Utada Hikaru's songs added more feels to the scenes, also I didnt expect a Death Cab for Cutie song, but it was a nice surprise. All in all, it was a great series worth re-watching again. I hope the Japanese will make interesting series like these more in the future.
