Suga Kenta & Kariya Yuiko as co-leads in the movie "Sweet Poolside"

Suga Kenta and Kariya Yuiko will be the joint leads in the upcoming movie "Sweet Poolside" which is based on the popular manga by Oshimi Shuzo. The movie features Suga and Kariya as first year senior high school students who both belong to the swimming club but have somewhat similar problems. Suga's character Ota Toshihiko faces the problem of being less hairy than desired while Kariya's character Goto Ayako is troubled by the presence of lots of hair on her body. By chance, Toshihiko goes to Ayako for advice about being hairless and somehow ends up helping her to shave her arms and legs weekly which leads him to develop feelings for Ayako over time. Suga commented that when he got the movie offer, he was sure that he could discover something new out of this and was glad that he managed to find new ways of expressing himself through acting. On the other hand, Kariya expressed her fears before filming started but was encouraged by the director's words of healing her character's emotional wounds through this movie.

The movie will be shown in cinemas next year.

Is it real hair (arms, legs, armpits) or fake?
