While Miki and Tsukasa return to Tokyo, Taki journeys to the shrine, hoping to reconnect with Mitsuha and warn her about Tiamat. Taki finds Mitsuha's name in the record of fatalities.
Taki observes Mitsuha's messages disappear from his phone and his memories of her begin to gradually fade, realizing the two were also separated by time, as he is in 2016. He takes Taki and his friends to the ruins of Itomori, which has been destroyed and where 500 residents were killed when Tiamat unexpectedly fragmented as it passed by Earth three years earlier. A restaurant owner in Hida recognizes the town in the sketch, being originally from there. Taki, Miki, and their friend Tsukasa travel to Gifu by train on a trip to Hida in search of Mitsuha, though Taki does not know the name of Itomori, relying on his sketches of the surrounding landscape from memory. Taki attempts to call Mitsuha on the phone, but cannot reach her as the body-switching ends. The next day, Taki wakes up in his body and goes on a date with Miki, who tells him she enjoyed the date but also that she can tell he is preoccupied with thoughts of someone else. Taki reads a note from Mitsuha about the comet Tiamat, expected to pass nearest to Earth on the day of the autumn festival. It is believed to represent the body of the village guardian god ruling over human connections and time. One day, Taki (in Mitsuha's body) accompanies Mitsuha's grandmother Hitoha and younger sister Yotsuha to leave the ritual alcohol kuchikamizake, made by the sisters, as an offering at the Shinto shrine located on a mountaintop outside the town. Mitsuha (in Taki's body) sets Taki up on a date with coworker Miki Okudera, while Taki (in Mitsuha's body) causes Mitsuha to become popular at school. They learn they can communicate with each other by leaving messages on paper, phones, and sometimes on each other's skin. One day, she inexplicably begins to switch bodies intermittently with Taki Tachibana, a high school boy in Tokyo: thus when they wake up as each other on some mornings, they must live through the other's respective activities and social interactions for the day. Bored of the town, she wishes to be a Tokyo boy in her next life. In 2013, Mitsuha Miyamizu is a high school girl living in the rural town of Itomori, Japan. As of 2021, a live-action American remake by Paramount Pictures is in development. The film won Best Animated Feature at the 2016 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, 49th Sitges Film Festival, and as the 71st Mainichi Film Awards, and nominated for Best Animation of the Year at the 40th Japan Academy Prize. The film grossed over ¥41.44 billion ( US$380.15 million) worldwide, breaking numerous box office records, including becoming the third highest-grossing anime film of all time, unadjusted for inflation. The film was critically acclaimed, with praise for the animation, music, and emotional weight. Your Name premiered at the 2016 Anime Expo in Los Angeles on July 3, 2016, and was theatrically released in Japan on August 26, 2016, and in the United States on April 7, 2017. A light novel of the same name, also written by Shinkai, was published a month prior to the film's premiere. It features the voices of Ryunosuke Kamiki and Mone Kamishiraishi, with animation direction by Masashi Ando, character design by Masayoshi Tanaka, and its orchestral score and soundtrack composed by Radwimps. The film was commissioned in 2014, written and directed by Makoto Shinkai. It depicts a high school boy in Tokyo and a high school girl in the Japanese countryside who suddenly and inexplicably begin to swap bodies.
