The movie is about Minami Kawashima (played by Atsuko Maeda), a high school girl who becomes the manager of her school's baseball team in place of her hospitalized friend, Yuki Miyata (Haruna Kawaguchi).[4][5] She tries to lead the team to the National High School Baseball Championship by learning strategies from the business book Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices by Peter Drucker, which she mistakenly bought.[3]
Moshidora was first announced on 13 December 2010, together with the main cast.[6] The main character would be played by Atsuko Maeda in her first lead film role.[6] Although the book was modeled on her fellow AKB48 member Minami Minegishi, Atsuko Maeda was chosen because she had more acting experience.[5] Minami Minegishi will also star in the film as a supporting character.[6]
Moshidora's theme song was announced to be the song "Everyday, Kachūsha", sung by idol group AKB48.[7] The lyrics of this song was written by Yasushi Akimoto, and the music was composed by Yoshimasa Inoue.[8]
Moshidora was first released in Japanese cinemas on 4 June 2011.[1] It debuted in the 4th position at the Japanese box office with a total gross of US$2,232,675 in its debut weekend.[9]
