Plot

High school diver Ami (Masami Nagasawa) and swimmer Keisuke (Mokomichi Hayami) don't exactly get along. Their parents run rival sweets shops and Ami is long-time friends, and maybe more, with Keisuke's freestyle rival Hiroki (Tsuyoshi Abe). Over time, however, hostile words give way to hesitant attraction, leaving Ami torn between Keisuke and Hiroki. With the national championship coming up, the young swimmers are competing for more than the title, but also their hearts.

Athena Jun 14 2017 12:34 am The soundtracks are highlight of this movie and matched charaters' moods perfectly. Sukima Switch song "Kanade" made my cry while "Furete Mirai Wo" captured innocence, beautiful memories, "Guarana" & "Zenryoku Shounen" are full of passions and reckless spirits!

Athena Jun 13 2017 11:02 am Although the movie got a lot of changes from Adachi Mitsuru's manga Rough, and some might called it a failed live-action, I have to say I really like it. Rough movie gave me a slow, delightful, romantic love story between young people with passion and dreams. Hayami Mokomichi's character Keisuke is the true definition of "Rough" and I find him a lot more realistic than the manga one. I wish there were more scenes for Kaori Koyanagi (Yui Ichikawa) cause the chemistry between her and Keisuke is quite interesting.
