When this movie was released, I coincidentally was in Japan, so I decided to give this movie a watch before I come back. While my Japanese is good enough to understand most of the movie, there were certain words and dialogues where I had to throw multiple guesses, so take this r…

I was so bored watching this.
The story is about 3 students who form a band. Spoilers they do and then they perform and then the movie ends.
