boku dake no madonna

watching boku dake no madonna, i realise that the setting is very murakami-esque and that the characters seem as though they step right out of a murakami book themselves.

despite this, despite the great theme song(sea of love by southern all stars), despite kyoko hasegawa's style, despite all the good food on display, i think as a drama it is just that bit too slow. i know what they are trying to do with the mood, atmosphere and all, but it was still slow. as a book, as a movie, it would have been just nice.
