Linda Linda Linda (Japan Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

With the school music festival just around the corner, three teenage girls decide to form a rock band in director Yamashita Nobuhiro's highly entertaining film, Linda, Linda, Linda! But things don't go quite as planned for the trio, thanks to the abrupt departure of their guitarist from the group. While the band's bassist Nozomi (real-life musician Sekine Shiori) and its drummer Kyoko (Maeda Aki) are able to find a keyboard player named Kei (Kashii Yu) to fill in on guitar, they have a harder time finding someone to fill in as lead vocalist. Soon enough, the bandmates realize they have no choice but to ask a Korean exchange student named Song (Bae Du Na, from Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) to sing lead for their makeshift band. However, there's one little problem: Song can barely speak a word of Japanese, let alone sing it!

Thanks to a cassette tape of "Linda Linda Linda," the 1980s era hit song by The Blue Hearts, the ragtag group of would-be musicians decides to cover the song, hoping to fine tune their performance in time for the school festival! Will they succeed…or will they hit a wrong note? Shot in an almost documentary style, Linda, Linda, Linda stands out from the pack of Japanese high school band movies, thanks in large part to the wonderful performance from Bae Du Na! Subdued and often quirky in his execution of the material, director Yamashita crafts a film that achieves a definite kind of harmony. Featuring a score by former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, Linda, Linda, Linda is a film that music lovers are sure to enjoy!

Nice build up, great songs Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
At first I wasn't sure what to make of it. The first 20 min or so sets the scene for the rest of the movie, so it's not immediately clear how good this movie is. The characters come across dull, unprofessional, with too much "teenage feel" to some events, making it all feel cheap and forced.

Yet, as you progress through the story, something about these characters grows on you. One of the girls (Song) came across too weird at first, but in the end I felt a great affection for her. The build-up elements are patiently piled up to create momentum. It's designed in such a way that viewers end up caring for the characters.

It's a fairly slow moving story with teenage theme, but below that outlook, there is a solid human story and philosophy of people's relationship and the way they manifest through seemingly unimportant events.

I liked it so much, in the end I ended up buying the soundtracks and their version of the songs as well, which are so amateur yet mysteriously addictive.

I was tempted to give this full marks, but I suppose there is always a "more perfect" movie yet to be found.
