Soon enough, Ryosuke and Koyuki form a 5 piece rock band named "Beck," while Maho and Koyuki become involved in a romantic relationship.
The band starts to play live shows and grow an enthusiastic following. The release of their debut CD helps to further the band's popularity. People start to notice Koyuki.

Based on what I know, Hiro really does know how to speak English, so it probably wasn't dubbed over. He went to some international school in Switzerland for a number of years when he was younger, I think. ^^

I absolutely loved the movie.. The manga holds a special place in my heart.. I did not want it to become a movie.. But i must say i am surprised.. The movie turned out to be excellent.. I would give it a 10/10.. Many people may not agree.. But i actually like the fact that koyuki's voice was not audible.. Just like the manga the awesomeness of the voice was left to your imagination.. I bet this was to avoid disappointment to fans who have imagined his voice to be godlike..
One really awesome movie with an extremely awesome cast.. Everybody fits the character.. I just hope they make a sequel and cover rest of the manga.. That would be really great.. ^__^

hi guys, i'm a bit confused at the ending, did the band dissolve? from what i understood at the ending part, koyuki continues to studying in school and still plays the guitar. Then, Ryosuke went back to New York?

simply, a perfect cast. i didn't expect mizushima hiro and kutsuna shiori's english to be that good. the only thing that keeps this film from getting a 10 is the fact that you don't hear koyuki sing even though he's a vocal. i understand that sato takeru may not have the "angelic" voice koyuki is supposed to have, but it'd be fine if it's dubbed over. although the way it is does makes koyuki's performance a little more artsy, it is also distracting to hear only the music as koyuki's lips are moving.

Hiro Mizushima, Takeru Sato & Osamu Mukai you did a great job
didn't like hiro with long hair
too bad they didn't let us hear Koyuki's voice, i was hoping to hear him sing

AWESOME MOVIE!! The casts really suit the characters from the manga..
But still a lil bit dissapointed coz they didt reveal Koyuki's voice.. It's okay if they dub his voice with another man's voice,, at least I want to be amazed like people in the movie.. X3
Btw,, do Shiori and Hiro really speak English here? Or it's dubbed??

Takeru satou is so damn cute here! Idk if he can play a guitar that cool.
Hiro hair is not really worked, but still fine. He look more hotter on this movie.
And finally I just realized that osamu mukai and aoi nakamura are HOT

I thought it was overly DRAMATIC! to the point where it was clear that they probably watched a bunch of english movie without subtitles and wrote down every word and scenario theysaw and threw it in this movie smh. It was fun to watch anyway. As far as acting goes....Even though Hiro does speak pretty good english....his acting is not that great here(and I am totally in love him btw)....disappointed that Sato didn't sing... fyi Japan if ur gonna cast a hot actor...at least let him sing...or dub it over with a guy who has an awesome singing voice(they did it in sister act)... the guy with the blond hair in the band as well as chiba were the strongest actors out the cast....It was still a good movie:)

AMAZING MOVIE...
i loved it!
-amazing cast (suited for their roles)
-<3 the music
-love the progression and flow of the movie
only criticism is that im disappointed they didnt give koyuki a singing voice.. it would have been more epic.. oh and hiro's acting with his english lines is a little weak.. its okay.. but it feels forced and awkward.. i guess he's not used to acting in english.
best character: chiba by kiritani kenta <3<3<# omgggggg

I just watched the movie yesterday.
It was overally pretty good. Without spoiling too much the sort-of-suspense revolving around Ryusuke's guitar were kinda laughable.
But beside Takeru Sato who's acting were totally bad, the other actors were great!
I'm not a fan of Mizushima Hiro but his English was really good, his acting were same as usual.
Mukai Osamu were, of course, nice.
And supporter actors also did a good job.
Music were awesome.
