Production
In November 2008 the film was announced under the title Lost Memories. Filming began on 26 November 2008 and ended in early January 2009, using a script by Gabrielle Zevin, author of the source material.
The film was originally planned to be shot and produced in the United States. However, the director decided to move the production to Japan, and changed the high school setting of the novel to an international school for the film. With this change, the film was able to keep much of the English-language dialogue from the source material.
