Maho Minami (Shiori Kutsuna) returns to Japan after studying in New York. Her half brother Ryusuke Minami (Hiro Mizushima) is an ultra talented guitarist.

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.

Tania Aug 23 2020 12:01 pm Really good movie! They got 3 of the main actors from Mei's butler which I thought it was quite interesting, seeing them together sharing screen brought me so many memories. I was expecting to hear Takero's singing in the end but it never happened. Totally recommended though!

Miki Sep 23 2017 2:18 pm Fails to capture the magic of the anime or drama cds

lumin Feb 21 2016 5:34 am wow i just finished watching beck and it is very remarkable and astounding!!! it fills me with deep awe every time koyuki is singing. i don't know why but yes even when they always muted his part like i thought they're gonna let us hear him singing for their last performace w/c is moon beams but nah but still it made me feel the beauty of music and the passion it gives throughout everyone who is listening ♡

JR Nov 13 2015 8:33 am Awesome cast, great production and story adaptation. But why Koyuki's voice is mute to the end? I thought it would be kept for the last scene to get the most out of it but nothing, I felt it's not complete. To leave for audiences 's imagination, I don't mind while story progressing. Really really can't find any any rock singer to blow audiences in that last scene? I don't think so, many great J rocker. If one ok rock sing for that, it would be so damn great movie. Or at least get the one that singing in anime adaptation, It fills Koyuki's voice for me.

Yuzuki Mar 31 2015 9:40 am just finished watching this movie . it has great cast, I love the movie cause as much as I'm a fan of bands and rock songs . . just kinda disappointed that I didnt get to hear Koyuki's voice cause while watching it, I'm really looking forward to hear his singing till the end but too bad there wasnt . but overall I still enjoyed it

mikari Apr 11 2014 2:50 pm hope this is better than the anime.

nororo Dec 29 2013 1:37 am oops.. i meam koyuki's voice

nororo Dec 29 2013 1:35 am me too @syifa. the movie brought me back to rock after i'd swayed by kpop. lol.. i didn't expect a lot from this movie but i was totally hooked by its storyline,cast,audio and everything. i cry a lot during their performance even when koyuki's inadudible. oasis as ending was great!!! reminds me of butterfly effect!

ridergear Nov 24 2012 2:31 am kabuto × den-o

Syifa Oct 28 2012 8:28 am I watched it twice (over cable tv RED too). Have no idea maybe this movie has brought me over rock music. It's been long time since i was not get into rock. I used to like rock so much but these day i kinda forgetting it and listening to other genres which is totally different with rock. After watched Beck, i start to listen to rock music again. Beck hits me, rock never dies!! realize that I shouldn't stop listening it..

And the last soundtrack of this movie is 'Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger'. Since i'm a fan of Oasis.. When i heard that song, i got goose bumps :')

Well, i'm curious to its manga. Gotta find it asap!

Pearly Aug 03 2012 8:02 am Just stumble upon this movie at RED channel this afternoon. The title itself caught my attention and after few minutes of watching, I got hooked! The storyline is smooth. The characters played their roles very well. The mix of comedy, romance and action (the bullying scenes) =D are really entertaining and refreshing! I laugh and cried and laugh and laugh at the same time. THE AUDIO EXPERIENCE IS HOLY! Every note coming out from the movie, touched my soul and definitely made me move (and surely other people too).

I just feel some expounding lacking on some of the scenes.I think it needed to elaborate or lengthen or expound some of its scenes like the romance of Maho and Koyuki, Taira's exposure, Chiba's kick ass moments with the bullies at Koyuki's school, Saku's love life and more of Dying Breed's condemning Belle Anne =D or anything like that. Overall I would give the movie 10.75 out of 10 =))))

Eyes Scream05 Jul 06 2012 10:08 am Ow YEAH!!!! One of my favorite manga turns to a live action movie ^_^ I love the film ^_^ hope their will be part 2 ^_^ For those who likes to watch a Movie with a band try to watch BANDAGE also... it was a good film too ^_^

Darkness~ Mar 15 2012 1:16 am 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. ^^

Sankalp Feb 08 2012 3:25 pm 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.. ^__^

mami Jan 29 2012 4:26 pm the cast for this movie is Perfect !

sasha Jan 29 2012 7:58 am 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?

maneki hobbang Nov 24 2011 4:13 pm 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.

Shinigami Nov 13 2011 3:51 pm i love the cast, 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

arifrokk Oct 26 2011 1:24 am zeer indrukwekkend

arifrokk Oct 26 2011 1:22 am Allah SWT hat sich mein Leben durch diesen Film beck verändert

Rizka A. F. A. Jul 31 2011 7:01 am 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??

yong Jul 21 2011 9:55 am wow...just finished watching this movie.. awesome musical arrangement.. shiori cute..

Y.Toshihiro Jul 16 2011 11:00 pm a very great movie, musical arrangements are also cool. gives me motivation to play music

Christian Esperar Jul 16 2011 7:43 am Just watched it! Man it really rocks my world. They are all really talented and look not an actor at all because they are awesome in the movie!

bood May 04 2011 12:40 am Maho (Shiori Kutsuna).....................Sughoi Kawaiiiiiiii

Chaerul Akbar Apr 13 2011 12:41 am wah filmnya keren walau awalnya membosankan :) @CRakbarr

123456 Apr 11 2011 7:25 pm takeru sato look so cute in this drama ... kyaaa love him.. <3 <3

kayehana Mar 21 2011 11:15 pm guys where did you watch this movie with eng subs???

satou nai Mar 20 2011 2:40 am 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

mizulvr Mar 10 2011 5:46 am 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:)

Arhazivory Mar 06 2011 11:02 pm The movie was very well done and to me the fan, they brought the manga to life.

Misso Feb 23 2011 5:11 pm 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

Claire Feb 13 2011 4:28 am 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.

jeezme Dec 21 2010 10:10 am ok. as much as i love hiro mizushima.....I HATE HIS HAIR IN THIS!...but i still love him...looks don't matter...(hhhmm) but I FREAKING LOVE SATO TAKERU!!! will so watch this.......
