my criticism would be this:
the song always kinda had a very nostalgic/melancholic kinda feeling to it for me, and I guess that's the mood you IMO didn't exactly hit. it was more of a romantic homecoming with drama elements to it. the whole video also had exact lyric sync instead of a real coherent storyline/plot. which is confusing since the song does.
apart from that good song choice and i enjoyed watching it even though it wasn't the most creative editing style

Definitely one of my favorite videos from acen's contest. It's a great song, and I think you did it justice. This is one of the few 5cm vids I can watch without getting bored immediately, and this is in my top 3 as far as 5cm vids go. Really nice video, and congrats on the award. Good work, Riceyyy.

That wasn't as good as I expected really :S
The song is beautiful, but as Ingow said it's more melancolic and your vid was kind of romantic more than nostalgic. Well actually it WAS a little, because they're appart and they miss the time they spent together but to me it looked more like feeling sorry for a relation that didn't work out, rather than remembering.
The scenes you chose I liked very much, really significant and the visual appreciation is nice, howeveeeer they didn't fit the pace of the song a lot of the time. It was quite syncd usually but there were parts that I thought were crutiall where the video and the audio where in different directions, which is a pitty because it was all good except that..
Anyway it was ok, keep it up =)

...i dono ... this could be a big hit or a really bad miss ....
/me finds out
Eh, it wasn't bad per-say, but it wasn't really that good. Sync was ok, mood was about right but you should of kept it so that the girl was on screen when the woman was singing and the guy for mike. I can't help but think that a video filter could of added some much needed visual stimulation.
