Synopsis
After not quite fitting in as part of their high school’s rock-and-roll club, Kei, Kyoko, and Nozomi decide to start their own all-girl rock band to play at an upcoming school festival. After discovering the punk style of ’80s Japanese sensation The Blue Hearts, the girls find their sound. Now all they need is a singer. Enter Son, a foreign exchange student from Korea who promises to do her best with the vocals.
As the girls’ first gig rapidly approaches, they spend more and more time in rehearsal, sacrificing hours they’d usually spend on homework, after-school jobs, and sleep. Will they become the stars of their school, or will they crash and burn? —DVDverdict.com

simple yet very beautiful. if you're a fan of the blue hearts and japanese film then in all seriousness you NEED to watch this film. this is how a seishun-themed film should be. it makes you feel young again just by watching it and next thing you know you will be reminiscing high school years. and oh have i mentioned how badass the girls were? sit back, relax and enjoy the film because THIS is the ultimate getaway

Japanese school girls playing pop punk covers, seriously what is there not to love. Also, I'm a sucker for offbeat female bonding flicks

The cinematic equivalent of being a teenager and listening to The Raincoats' debut album for the first time. This is a movie about music and youth unmuddied by cynicism or nostalgia, uplifting and inspiring in its simplicity. Let's everybody play music we care about with our friends, now.
