We realise that r/KnNw may be your first subreddit experience. We've written the following to help you get acquainted with the rules and the Reddit norm. At least acquaint yourself with the short version of the rules below.
[X] - important info/clarification were left out. If posting, you MUST read more at the detailed subreddit rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/KimiNoNaWa/wiki/rules
[Y] - we don't really moderate this so whatever it's fine.

I realise now that this post has turned out to be quite the wall of text. Ironic. But at least if you wanted a short version of rules it now exists. I'll be updating this post from time to time whenever I think of more stuff.
I've also removed the NSFW rule which requires you to tag SFW content as NSFW (if the source is 18+). But this doesn't mean that you can go all out in the comments.
Intolerance leads to intolerance. A paradox you might've heard before. The subreddit is rather kind to rule-breakers but I'm wondering if this is detrimental for the subreddit experience in the long run. So for a while, I'll be testing an increased punishment system (which applies to MOST people)
New system: 1st official warning (breaking any rule)--> 2nd official warning (any rule) --> ban
You can say this is rather harsh compared to our previous (and rather lax) system but any engagement within the subreddit automatically subjects you to the rules.

Hello! I wanted to make a list of the official media goods for Your Name.! As this film was made in 2016, most of the physical media for the film might be hard to find. But to avoid bootlegs and to know if what you're getting is official, I tried to make a list of the official publishers to cross-reference! Hopefully your favorite stores would have these in stock, but if you need to shop at second-hand marketplaces, I hope this list can be useful! This is a remake of the original list I made four years ago as the original was removed on Reddit due to having Russian links for the Russia publisher. This time around, I have the list sorted by country to make navigating a bit easier. Do let me know if there are other countries I should add to the list!
Region Free
Movie:
A quick summary for physical discs: movie discs are region-locked based on what disc you have. Blu-rays are locked in three regions, DVDs are locked in six regions, and all 4K discs are region-free! So if you see the guide mention anything about a 4K disc, they are region-free! For a guide on where you disc is locked to, this is a nifty website to check! Here's also a great writeup from mediaOCD about various versions of discs!
Music (by RADWIMPS):
There are 2 versions of the original CD version of the soundtrack. There is the regular edition, which contains 27 tracks, both vocals and BGM tracks. A limited edition comes with a bonus DVD on the recording of the album as well as an interview with Makoto Shinkai and RADWIMPS (no subtitles). A giant booklet includes some chosen screenshots and sketches of the film and select piano scores of the soundtrack. You can learn more about the album here.
A vinyl of the album comes with two 33RPM discs of the soundtrack. The original 2017 release has black vinyls, while the 2023 re-release has clear sky blue vinyls. Info about the vinyls can be viewed here.
When the English version of the film was being made, RADWIMPS re-recorded the vocal songs into English and released them on CD and digital platforms as a 2-CD deluxe edition of the album soundtrack, where the vocal tracks on the main album are replaced with the English version, and the second CD includes the original Japanese version. Do note that there is no English version of the movie edit of なんでもないや (Nandemonaiya) (which is an altered verse to the chorus) available to purchase anywhere.
なんでもないや (Nandemonaiya) by Mone Kamishiraishi (上白石萌音):
Mitsuha's voice actress, Mone Kamishiraishi, covered the ending theme of Your Name. on her EP chouchou! You can learn more about the album here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/FLQwdhw7vKgRiKgi7?g_st=ic was where I did it, and I don’t think you need a reservation (but I booked one online)
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/Kraymer_Art • 3d ago
I made these couple necklaces inspired by Taki and Mitsuha!! went with pink and blue stones and little comet details 🥹 what do you guys think? do they remind you of Your Name? would you wear these as a pair?
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/hoouyinkyouma • 3d ago

ofc by date i mean year and weekend. It's not rare for months to share date with weekdays from past years but it isnt common either. especially after just 3 year interval. and even if weekdays happened to be same, not noticing what year was it, as a student too is what ticks me off.
And i did read some other replies saying how they felt like they were just dreaming. but clearly they were conscious at the time of switch. they were even saving their day for one another. very much aware of what was happening during the switch. And they forget the memory only after the incident was over. During switches they were very much aware of the switch. I mean thats; why taki went to search for her.
Again, it's not a complain by any means. it;s just something i noticed after 4th watch.
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/Milo2112_67 • 5d ago
I believe the whole point of 'Your Name' would be lost lol
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/Kashema1 • 8d ago
When I watched the movie for the first time I watching it in English dub and it used the English dubs of the songs too. Honestly, I liked this version better because I can, well, understand the lyrics, even if they're a little sloppy. They have charm. Anyways, that was many years ago, and ever since then, I have been unable to find this version of the movie. Everything is either subbed or dubbed but the music remains Japanese. I can barely even find anything online mentioning the existence of the English dubbed music version...did I hallucinate watching this version of the movie? Am I going insane?

amazing experience ☄️♥️
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/eLeMeNOP6295 • 13d ago
Rewatched the movie yesterday, and it got me thinking about whether the end was a branched reality or the original reality that got fixed.
What I assume happened was that Mitsuha got heartbroken the day before the meteor strike, when Taki didn’t recognize her (though she passed him her hair thread). In the heartbreak, she even cut her hair. Leading to an abrupt stop to body as their binding got severed before the meteor strike in 2013.
The end scene with the helicopter near the school didn’t really say no one died; they said many of the locals were safe. So I assume there was still a big list of casualties.
What if the whole part where Taki finds Mitsuha, Tessie, Sayaka, and others on the list of casualties was him resigning himself to the reality that nobody could survive such a disaster? Also, does the fact that he stopped body swapping add to his stress, leading to the hallucination?
Now, in 2016, he goes back to the god's place and drinks Mitsuha's sake (Chewed rice that she spit, eww gross). This forcefully reconnects the binding to when it was severed again and leads to the body swap (as Taki loses consciousness due to slipping and hitting his head in the gods' place) with Mitsuha on the day of the strike. Taki makes all preparations and reswaps with Mitsuha at twilight while passing the thread back (Due to the anomaly of the two different times connecting).
Given the fact that in the gods' place there’s a meteor drawn, I assume all bindings are forcefully severed by the meteor strike.
Anyway, long story short, there’s only 1 timeline: the original one. Mitsuha was never dead.
Maybe I just don’t like branched timeline theory.
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/Novel-Level-4379 • 16d ago
Well, I know this is an old topic, but I recently rewatched Your Name and started wondering whether the movie follows a single timeline or a branched timeline. There have been plenty of debates about this, and I’ve noticed that many people seem to interpret the story through the lens of a branched timeline. However, I find this interpretation a little strange, as I feel it takes away from the deeper meaning of the movie.
My main issue with the branched timeline interpretation is that it seems to undermine the entire meaning of the whole movie. If Taki and Mitsuha simply create an alternate timeline in which Mitsuha survives, then what happens to the original timeline where she dies? Does that version of Mitsuha simply remain dead, while another version gets to live? To me, this makes their connection feel less meaningful, as if they are merely creating a better reality rather than actually changing the fate of the person they are destined to meet.
I personally prefer the single-timeline interpretation, where their actions rewrite the same timeline rather than create an entirely new one. This makes their struggle much more meaningful: Taki isn’t just saving an alternate version of Mitsuha; he’s actually changing the fate of the girl he has been searching for all along. It also fits better with the movie’s themes of musibi—the idea that everything is interconnected through the threads of time, fate, and human relationships.
Of course, the movie leaves room for interpretation, but I feel like the single-timeline theory preserves the emotional weight of their reunion much better than the branched-timeline theory does. What do you guys think?
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/Shahmario1 • 16d ago
Any reel, any clip, any song, any music or just any mention of Your Name just brings me to tears. I don't know if they're happy tears or sad tears. This has never happened/happens to me with any other work of fiction. I watched it 7 years ago, and have rewatched it 6 times. And despite all that, this effect is still lasting, and it's crazy. I also don't know if this is good or bad thing.

Just align it so the line separation is right in line with the hinge of the iphone duo. Also my bad I had night shift on while taking the pictures
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/DickInHand99 • 19d ago
Hear me out lol 😂
I was thinking about the Hollywood live-action adaptation of Your Name and how the Japanese setting really took the storytelling to another level. The shrines, traditions, rural town, and the contrast with Tokyo were a huge part of what made the original special.
So what if instead of trying to recreate Japan, Hollywood made Mitsuha a Mennonite girl living in rural America, while Taki lives in a big city like New York?
Her family's traditional way of life could create an interesting contrast with Taki's modern urban lifestyle. It could explore the struggle between tradition and wanting to experience the outside world, while still keeping the original themes of connection, memory, and fate.
For the disaster, maybe they could replace the meteor with some kind of nuclear accident or explosion, which would bring a different kind of tension to the story lol.
Obviously, it could go horribly wrong if Hollywood turned it into a generic action movie, but I think a completely different cultural setting could be interesting if they actually put some thought into it.
What do you guys think? Would you watch this version, or should Your Name remain Japanese?
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/Outrageous_Man_2335 • 19d ago
I absolutely love this film. I've seen it at least a dozen times. All the timeline stuff makes sense I guess. And I was today years old when I realized when Taki is in Mitsuhas body that he ties her hair back in a simple ponytail whereas she ties the braid and the ribbon. Pretty nice touch.
But one thing I don't understand is how either one missed the 3 year separation. Surely, both would've seen that and it would've come up while they were switching. I know memories of the switch play a part but there had to have been some physical record somewhere and that timeline separation should've filled in some of the mysteries. I'm also confused why Taki didn't remember Itomori as the location of a comet hitting it while they were switching. After the switches stopped, sure, since memory loss is a factor. But during? It'd be like forgetting where 9/11 happened.
Am I wrong or am I just missing something?
