I haven't seen it in a long time, but wasn't there just one scene of dialogue in the middle and the rest was all narration?
A common piece of advice given to writers in the West is 'Show, don't tell.' This was lampshaded in the famous Futurama joke, 'You can't have characters just announce how they feel! That makes me angry!' I honestly thought this film was the worst offender I've ever seen.
I'll agree to the pretty pictures though!

Narration? Aren't they the character's inner dialogue telling how they feel?
Of course there are several symbolisms and hints throughout the film but it is not like the male lead didn't show how he felt powerless as a child unable to profess his love or the second female character didn't realize why her feeling would never reach her crush.
Even at the last part where there was no dialogue, the song lyric beautifully captured the male lead's journey "always searching for you on the opposite platform or through window in the back alley" and his wish to have "one more time, one more chance".

You're right, 'internal monologue' would've been a better description

No comment about this part. But the best part of the movie literally starts when one more time one more chance plays. Like the whole movie builds up to the train climax. Insane.
