Two kids meet near a floodgate after school. Yu is a shy 17-year-old girl who sits down next to Yosuke as he plays his guitar. Yosuke recently gave up playing sports and has devoted himself to playing the guitar. He only plays a few lines repeatedly as he tries to make a song from what he feels. Their relationship progresses tentatively as they both have difficulty expressing their feelings and thoughts. One day Yu takes the initiative and kisses Yosuke. Yosuke responds by picking up his guitar and going home. Years later, Yu wonders, "Why did I cry? Why didn't I stop crying? Why?"... while Yosuke wonders, "Why did I run away from you that time?" Fast forward seventeen years later. They haven’t seen each since their days in high school and now have moved on with their separate and empty lives. That is, until one day, they randomly meet during an audition. They agree to go out together after work for drinks. As the evening turns into the early morning, they are still awake, sharing memories of their high school days. After 17 years, Yosuke finally kisses Yu. Yu starts to cry again, and they soon go to visit her older sister. The next day Yosuke decides to call Yu and make good on a promise he made to her 17 years ago that he would play her his song when it is completed. Yu agrees to meet him again, and Yosuke goes home to get his acoustic guitar. While on his way to meet Yu, fate deals a strange twist to their plans, perhaps this will be the moment when they can finally say “Sukida.” (Source: AsianWiki) Edit Translation

Reviews
The strength and charm of this movie is the actors' ability to say so much with so little. Both the younger and older actors did an amazing job.
Make sure you are ready for a slow-paced movie when you watch this. It will repay your patience several-fold.
There are only a few pieces of music in this, mostly variations on a theme, going from hesitant to lush.
Given that I just watched this, I'm not sure if I'll rewatch it soon. I adored it, so maybe in a few years.
