Love & Pop (ラブ&ポップ, Rabu & Poppu) is a 1998 Japanese experimental coming-of-age film directed and co-written by Hideaki Anno, based on the novel Topaz II by Ryū Murakami.

The film also flips from widescreen to fullscreen, distorts (with effects such as a fisheye lens), confuses, and makes use of overlays stacked in layers to convey the character's emotions.

She has three friends: Nao, who is interested in computers, Chieko, who is older and more mature, and Chisa, who plans to drop out of school to become a professional dancer.

There, she meets Nao, who, earlier that day, had met a gay man named Kobayashi who gave her a cell phone.

Hiromi receives a phone call from a man named Yoshio, who says that his kitten is sick and he is leaving Kobayashi.

She chooses to meet another man who had left a message, who calls himself Captain EO, and carries a Fuzzball stuffed animal.

Hiromi then returns home, and ruminates on her life and her failure to buy the ring before falling asleep.

Apparently, it is the director's cut, has two minutes of extra footage and has been transferred directly from the original tape, whilst the American and Japanese DVDs appear to come from a different source.
