Also, if this is a romantic comedy, then maybe this doesn't work, but if there if this is used because of a scene with a sad ending or something like that, then its not bad. But if the couple get together at the end and everything is fine and dandy, then something else would be better IMO.
I dunno, its kinda hard to judge without knowing the exact tone during the scene in question.

Good thoughts. Yeah, the song isn't chosen for the message, but the message does seem to apply to the ending scene (I have the kanji translation). Actually, the movie becomes serious in the last 15 minutes. The last 5 minutes is actually the most critical scene involving the guy and girl. It's pretty much the part that either makes or breaks the script. No words are spoken, no noises are heard, just actions and montages. The first half of the song and the first half of the 5 min ending is slow, and feels a bit tragic, the second half changes to coincide with the storyboard (a more upbeat outlook).
Also, my understanding is that we're using this song as a sample song to go with the storyboard. The actual movie will probably have a different song, though the feel of the song will probably be the same.
