I don't consider it a "masterpiece", but it was a decent movie.

"Corny"? There's a lot of other things in Japanese Entertainment that could be considered "corny" -- is rhythmical tapping really that bad? You put quite an emphasis on that. I honestly didn't mind it that much.

Anyway, to respond directly to your question: I also don't understand why it's seen as an extraordinary film. No, you're not the only one.

Though, I could see why somone might rank it in their favorites; It's definitely not a bad movie.
