Quick Synopsis

Three days before their high school's annual festival in Japan, the band members Kei (guitarist), Kyoko (drummer), and Nozomi (bassist) find themselves without a lead vocalist. They decide to ask Son, a Korean exchange student who is still learning Japanese, to join them. Despite the language barrier, Son agrees, and together they work intensively to prepare three songs for the festival's rock concert, including "Linda Linda," a well-known 1980s punk rock song by the Japanese band The Blue Hearts. The story follows their efforts to come together as a band and perform successfully under tight time constraints.
