In the beginning of the film Tenkosei Sayonara Anata 2007, we see kazuo, After his parents’ divorce, sixteen-year-old Kazuo
and his mother move to her hometown, Nagano. Kazuo
used to live here when he was in kindergarten so
he is confident he will settle right back in.
On his first day at school, he is introduced
to the class. Suddenly, a girl gets up,
recognizing him from the time they were
in kindergarten. Her name is Kazumi and
she used to be best friends with Kazuo a long
time ago. She even reveals that he wetted his
bed and had to wear her underwear one time.
Kazuo remembers the incident but pretends to be
oblivious. After class, he comes to Kazumi,
asking her to stop telling everyone about
the embarrassing stories of the past.
Kazumi’s boyfriend Hiroshi interrupts
them and is jealous of their friendship.
After school, Kazumi follows Kazuo behind as
he tries his best to get rid of her. She reminds
him of his favorite noodle he used to have at her
mother’s noodle shop. When he says he doesn’t
remember, she brings him home. Her family is
delighted to see him after so long but Kazuo feels
uncomfortable because he hardly remembers them.
While Kazumi’s mother cooks the noodles, she
is asked to show Kazuo the Shabishira spring.
Tenkosei Sayonara Anata 2007 Full Movie Watch Online
The water used to make the noodles comes from the
spring which is the secret ingredient. The two
walk for a few minutes before reaching the place.
They have to take different paths especially meant
for two genders to get to the spring.
Kazumi picks up a dipper so Kazuo can taste
the water. They stand on either side of the
spring which causes them to struggle for
the dipper and fall into the spring. When
they come outside, they have miraculously
changed their bodies with each other.
Kazuo doesn’t realize this and makes his
way home without saying anything. He takes off the
wet clothes and the first thing he notices is that
he is wearing a skirt. Confused, he looks into
the mirror and sees Kazumi instead of himself.
It doesn’t take him long to register
that he has changed bodies with her.
He runs outside to tell his mother who thinks he
is a perverted girl trying to seduce her son. She
makes him wear a jacket before kicking him out.
After that, Kazuo goes to Kazumi’s home and finds
her crying hysterically. Her family is also
just as confused as everyone else. They think
the kids hit their heads while on their way to
the spring and are not in their right minds.
Moreover, since Kazumi is not wearing enough
clothes, they assume Kazuo did something to
her. Before their anger escalates, Kazuo runs
away with Kazumi on his bicycle. Kazumi’s
biggest concern is Kazuo touching her breasts but
Kazuo argues that he has no interest in her.
He brings her to his home, asking her to act
like a man as much as possible. They decide
to stay in each other’s places until they find a
way to get back into their respective bodies.
At first, Kazuo experiences the difference in
gender roles when he is made to serve dinner to
everyone in the family. Moreover, he learns
that he has to eat quickly because if not,
the family will devour everything.
Meanwhile, Kazumi is doing just fine at
Kazuo’s home. She cooks for his mother,
surprising her with a delicious meal.
The mother goes on a rant about an indecent
girl like Kazumi for barging into their home,
unaware that her son is the same indecent girl.
Kazumi doesn’t know about Kazuo’s parents’ divorce
so she asks questions like when will his dad
return home. Kazuo’s mother thinks it is a joke
and asks him to be more compassionate towards her.
She also discovers that Kazuo broke up with his
long-term girlfriend Akemi before moving here.
A while later, Kazuo calls Kazumi, asking her to
keep his phone strap safely. It was a gift from
his father and is close to his heart. Kazumi,
on the other hand, is having problems of her own.
She is shocked by how his genitals changed when
she tried to take shower. Kazuo orders her to
stop looking at his body and ends the call.
The following morning, Kazuo wakes up in
Kazumi’s room and remembers what happened
yesterday. Then, he checks himself
in the mirror and to his distress,
sleeping hasn’t turned him back to normal.
Kazumi breaks in through the window with Kazuo’s
school uniform that he left at his home
yesterday. She also teaches him how to
wear a bar but just then, her mother
interrupts them. She assumes the worst
and calls the entire family into the room.
As they yell at their daughter, Kazuo and Kazumi
trick them and run away to school. They promise to
do their best as each other before walking in.
During music class, Kazumi is asked
to play the piano because Kazuo was
known as a talented pianist in his former school.
When she is in the front, she gets a panic attack
and runs to the rooftop. Kazuo follows her
behind while being followed by the teacher.
They meet each other on the roof where the
teacher inquires about what is going on.
Kazumi panics again and accidentally knocks
the teacher out. Hiroshi finds Kazuo and
Kazumi together and suspects something is going
on between them. After school, the two sit by the
river and discuss their situation. Kazumi touches
Kazuo’s body, reminiscing about her older self
but to a man walking past them, it looks
like they are doing something else.
He tries to join them in the fun and holds Kazuo’s
hand. To defend himself, Kazuo kicks him in the
nuts and runs away with Kazumi. In the following
scene, both Kazuo, Kazumi, and their mothers
are called to an older gentleman’s home.
He is the father of the guy they beat up
earlier. He wants to press charges against
Kazumi but has to consider otherwise after
discovering his son wanted to kidnap the girl.
Then, Kazuo and Kazumi are together when Kazuo
gets a text from Hiroshi. He is jealous of their
growing relationship and is ready to break up
if that is what Kazumi prefers.
Kazumi replies that she loves him and
asks him to give her some space.
At home, Kazumi’s mother notices that her daughter
is acting more strange day by day. She lays down
like a man, speaks like one, and has forgotten
how to cook. Hence, Kazumi’s older brother
is called from Tokyo to take care of her.
Kazuo has been more sensitive than normal
because his period is near. Moreover, both
Kazuo and Kazumi are forbidden to meet each other
outside school after what happened yesterday.
He panics since he has no clue what must be
done when he gets his period. He also feels
awfully weak but passes it as a symptom.
The next day, their class is going on a trip
to a hot spring. Throughout the
bus ride, Kazuo continues puking,
worrying everyone. Then, while changing into
a swimsuit, his nose starts to bleed.
At the same time, Kazumi meets Hiroshi and asks
him to come aside. Before she can tell him the
truth, he asks her if she is Kazumi. It turns
out that he had been observing them for the past
few days and has come to this conclusion. Kazumi
affirms and apologizes for not telling him sooner.
Hiroshi says that he still loves her because he
is in love with her soul, not her body. However,
Kazumi doesn’t feel the same for him.
On the first day after the trip,
Kazuo doesn’t come to school. Kazumi is worried
but her mother doesn’t let her see Kazuo. Hence,
Hiroshi goes over to make sure he is fine. It
turns out that Kazuo has had sharp body pain and
has been vomiting since the morning.
He goes to the doctor’s the next day
and they find out that he suffers from an
incurable disease and has only two months
to live. Kazumi’s parents are shocked and in
pain. The doctor promises to do whatever he can
to ensure Kazuo’s last days are painless but
he cannot help the family other than that.
Hiroshi finds out about this and comes to tell
Kazumi. She is just as shocked as everyone because
Kazuo’s death could mean a lot of different
things. She is worried for him and for herself
because her body could go away forever.
When she goes to visit him, she is initially
stopped by her mother. The woman blames
her for Kazuo’s condition because he had
been acting strangely after her arrival. The
doctor convinces her that they should not keep
a bed-ridden girl from meeting her friend.
Kazumi meets Kazuo and feels responsible for
his illness. Since her body has the disease,
it is almost as if he is dying because of her.
Kazuo assures her that even if that were the
case, he would be happy to die in her place.
When Kazumi returns home that day, she convinces
Kazuo’s mother to go visit him. She agrees and
tells her about Akemi. Akemi used to be
Kazuo’s girlfriend and is coming to visit
him in a few days. Kazumi emails Akemi at night
and tells her everything about the situation.
In the following scene, Kazumi and
Hiroshi welcome Akemi to the city.
She has known Kazuo for years and can tell that
Kazumi is not him. Later, she and Kazuo’s mother
go to visit him. Kazuo shares an emotional
conversation with them, making the mother
feel like she is talking to her own child.
A few days later, Akemi, Hiroshi, Kazuo, and
Kazumi are together when Kazuo says he wants to go
somewhere far. The adults would not allow him so
they decide to sneak out at night. The plan works
and they reach the mountains by the morning.
Akemi and Hiroshi know that
the other two want to spend
time together, so they ask them to go ahead.
After that, the two are spotted by a group of
performers. They join the group and decide to
stay with them for the night. Kazumi has a hard
time falling asleep so she cuddles with Kazuo
and inquires if they can take their relationship
a step further. Kazuo says he wants to make love
to her but only as a guy. Kazumi understands and
hugs him instead. She also takes his top off and
says goodbye to her body for the last time.
The next morning, Kazumi hears two men
talking about her and Kazuo. They are
planning to do something to get rid of the
couple. Instead of being a burden on them,
she and Kazuo leave a while later.
Kazumi wants to go home now but Kazuo
says there is the last place he wants to visit.
Then, they make their way to the Sabishira spring
where it all started. Unlike the last time,
they do not take the separate gender gates
since they are both male and female.
They stand on the edge of the spring
drinking from a dipper. Suddenly, they slip and
fall into the water for the second time. They
somehow manage to come outside but soon realize
that they have changed back into their bodies.
Kazumi is over the moon that Kazuo doesn’t
have to die in her place but Kazuo cannot
help but feel sad. She will go away but he
will have to continue living without her.
They hug each other for a long time before Kazumi
says she is happy to die for him. Then, they go
to a cliff and watch the sunset together.
Cut to a few months later. Kazumi is no more and
the world has moved on without her. Kazuo comes
to her home often to meet her family. Because of
all the time he spent with them, he feels like he
is a part of the family. One afternoon, he arrives
and finds Kazumi’s grandfather making noodles.
He offers to help but unlike the traditional way
of kneading, he steps on the dough.
This reminds the family of Kazumi
and they cannot help but shed tears.
It turns out that Kazuo has come to say goodbye
because he is moving to a different city for
college. We also find out that Akemi and Hiroshi
are now dating each other. Before leaving the
city, Kazuo visits Kazumi’s grave and wishes
her goodbye. What he doesn’t know is that her
spirit is watching him with a smile on her face,
glad that he is moving on with his life.
On his way out, Kazuo passes Hiroshi
who has also come to pay respect. The movie ends
with a message that says “A person’s lifespan is
limited but a story lasts forever”.
Thank You.
