I saw this utterly charming movie yesterday, and encourage you all to check it out. I bring it up here beacuse one of the girls in the band, while they are searching through old tapes and music books to figure out what songs they are going to cover for their high school "rock festival", suggests Shiina Ringo!

The suggestion immediately gets written off, because, as one of them states, they only have three days to learn it, and they don't really know how to play all that well to start with. The singer is a Korean exchange student, whose grasp of Japanese is pretty rudimentary. They go with covering The Blue Hearts, instead.

The movie is almost worth seeing just for the enigmatically strange Du-na Bae, who plays the lead singer, but the cast is all good.
