Cliched B-level Japanese movie

I found this movie on Hoopla. I have lived in Japan, so I like to look for Japanese movies and have had good luck with three movies I watched on Hoopla before this one. This, however, was not top-flight. Despite having fine actor Takenaka Naoto in a main role--see him in "Shall We Dance" if you're not familiar with him--the movie had something of a paint-by-numbers feel in a number of instances, being particularly cheesy and sentimental with a scene near the end that was extremely unrealistic. The dialog and music usage was also often amateurish. It's not a horrible movie by any means, but don't be fooled into thinking you will be watching something profound.
