A captivating little sleeper from Japan, about an all-girl high-school rock-&-roll band looking for a new lead vocalist and finding her in a Korean exchange student who's not exactly fluent in Japanese. A movie that, without seeming to do anything special, or even much of anything at all, totally gets what it's like to be a teenager. Winning performances by all four bandmates, and if you're not humming the title tune by the time it's over, you're either deaf or dead.
