«A chain of short stories about their distance»
После окончания школы Тоно Такаки и Шинохару Акари уезжают далеко друг от друга, несмотря на связывающие их чувства. В один прекрасный день, посреди снежной бури, Такаки наконец-то приезжает увидеться с Акари.
«5 сантиметров в секунду» — это фильм о том, что прекрасное мгновение невозможно остановить, потому что красота каждого мгновения в том, что оно проходит. Никакие клятвы не задержат стрелки часов — и не заставят их двигаться быстрее. Три части фильма сосредоточены на этой неумолимости, на темпе жизни, а он свой для каждого возраста и состояния.

Режиссер: Макото Синкай
В ролях: Кенджи Мизухаши, Сатоми Ханамура, Yoshimi Kondou, Аяка Оноуе...
Выбор песни «One more time, one more chance» в исполнении Масаёси Ямадзаки в качестве заглавной композиции фильма режиссёр объясняет тем, что она знакома всем японцам, а дополнительные ассоциации помогут передать недосказанное словами и создать цельное впечатление от фильма.
Название первой части фильма («Отрывок о цветущей сакуре») совпадает с названием вышедшей в 1970 году книги японского садовода в шестнадцатом поколении Тоуэмона Сано.
Очень много пейзажных и бытовых сцен в фильме создавались на основе фотографий реальных мест в Японии.
Изначально Макото Синкай задумывал снять около десятка пятиминутных историй не связанных общим сюжетом.
Каждое своё письмо Акари начинает с описания погоды — такова японская традиция написания писем.5 сантиметров в секунду, Русское озвучивание DobrySkazochnik & Keneretta 5 сантиметров в секунду, Русское озвучивание 5 сантиметров в секунду, Русские субтитры Ну и как же без песни
Masayoshi Yamazaki — One more time, One more chance:
Текст песни How much more will I have to lose, before my heart is forgiven?
How many more pain will I have to suffer, to meet you once again?
One more time, oh seasons, don't disappear
One more time, the time when we were messing around
Whenever we argued, I would always give in first right?
Your selfish nature made me love you even more
One more chance, the memories stopped my legs
One more chance, I cannot choose my next destination
I'm always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
On the opposite platform, in the windows along the lane
Even though I know you couldn't be at such a place
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side right away
There would be nothing I couldn't do
I would put everything on the risk and hold you tight, I'll show you.
If I just wanted to distract my loneliness, anybody would have been enough.
The stars seems like it will fall in the night which is why i can't lie to myself.
One more time, oh seasons, don't disappear
One more time, the time when we were messing around
I'm always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
Even when I'm crossing a street, Even in the midst of my dreams
Even though I know you couldn't be at a place like this!
If a miracle were to happen, I would want to show you immediately
A new morning, who I'll be from now on
And the words i never said called: "I Love You"
The memories of summer are revolving
The throbbing which suddenly disappeared
I'm always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
At dawn on the streets, at Sakuragi-cho
Even though I know you couldn't be at a place like this!
If my wish were to come true, I would return to your side right away
There would be nothing I couldn't do
I would risk everything and hold you tight I'll show you!
I'm always searching, for fragments of you to appear somewhere
At a traveller's store, in the corner of newspaper,
Even though I know you couldn't be at a place like this!
If a miracle were to happen, I would want to show you immediately
A new morning, who I'll be from now on
And the words I never said called: "I Love You."
I always end up looking for your smile, to appear somewhere
At the railroad crossing, waiting for the express to pass
Even though I know you couldn't be at such a place
If our lives could be restarted,
No matter how many times it will be I will go back to you
What I would wanted then would then be nothing
The Things Other Then You!
