Only three days before their high school festival, guitarist Kei, drummer Kyoko, and bassist Nozomi are forced to recruit a new lead vocalist for their band. They choose Korean exchange student Son, though her comprehension of Japanese is a bit rough! It's a race against time as the group struggles to learn three songs for the festival's rock concert—including a classic '80s song by the Japanese punk rock band The Blue Hearts called "Linda Linda".

Bubblegum pop and an amazing film noone will probably watch

I've never seen a movie more accurately portray what it's like to learn music and play in your first band as a teen. Heartwarming.

It's a slow-paced movie, but it just captures the atmosphere, and friendships of a Japanese high school in summer beautifully.

Slow and sweet like the first days of summer. The ending is just joyous.

Light-hearted slice of life story. The ending is definitely the best part of the movie, and I find myself returning to it occasionally.

A cute high school music movie with a couple of standout performances. The plot won't knock you out, so it's all about the moments and music

Very slow pacing, but cute and quirky.
