I'm Lord Hamahashi!

See that, dammit?!

Did that feel good? Hibinuma!

Hamahashi!

You asshole!

I'm Lord Hamahashi!

Lord Hamahashi of Eitobi High!

He came to!

Was that your first kiss?

It didn't count!

Oh no, it was his first.

Hibinuma!

Hibinuma! I thought you died!

Goddammit!

It ain't over!

It ain't over, Hamahashi!

Hibinuma!

5 years later, the Rock 'n' Roll Brothers were in Tokyo.

To become rock legends.

To take on the world.

HIBI ROCK: Puke Afro & the Pop Star

Game over, man!

I can't walk!

This is it!

We'll live here!

Kusakabe, if you hadn't quit your part-time job...

Shut up! Shut up!

I hate my life!

I hate this Tokyo wasteland!

It's over! Too many rivals! Too expensive to live!

Gimme some money!

Gimme a place to live!

I'm beggin' ya!

Kusakabe!

Saki... Utagawa?

Know her?

It's a million-seller.

She's a super-idol.

Why's a homely-looking girl so popular?

I bet she slept her way to the top!

That whore!

That idol whore!

That whore!

That idol whore!

Kusakabe! Kusakabe!

That whore! That whore!

Miss Utagawa?

This way.

You rent-dodging little shits!

Sorry, sir!

You ain't staying here for free!

Get off your asses!

It was only a tap.

It was only a tap!

Clean the damn toilet!

Lick it clean!

Clean it up.

I'll work!

Pick these up!

- I'll work! - Do it!

I'll work! I'll...

You're trash!

Hibinuma! Are you OK?

Oh, Machiko!

Hibinuma, your jeans have split!

Sorry! Sorry! I...

I'm cool. Totally cool.

Machiko baby! Come on, yo! Come help us.

Hibinuma, hang in there.

Have a candy.

Here.

One more.

Machiko...

Machiko...

Thank you. We are Dog Rape.

Next up, our main rivals, The Rock 'n' Roll Brothers.

Oh shit. Shit!

Rock 'n' Roll!

"Medical Certificate"

It's about time!

It sure is! About goddamn time!

We love titties!

Hell yeah!

Cool, they're fired up.

It doesn't balance.

Go bankrupt?!

Gotta fuck before you can rock!

Know any RC Succession?

Hold it. They're virgins, but I'm not.

Rock 'n' roll!

Hey you!

Who the hell are ya?!

You ain't rock and roll, you bag of bones!

Shut up! Shut up!

You're rock and roll?!

More than you!

OK, if you're rock and roll, show us your titties!

If you are, show 'em!

Titties! Titties!

Shithead! Shithead!

You bitch!

Come back here!

Where's Titties?

Found you, bitch!

Come on!

Slop!

Ow!

Don't get a hard-on!

For this month.

Thanks.

You wrote that song?

Yeah.

It ain't over.

It ain't over!

Drunken fist! Snake fist!

Cat fist!

Don't think...

...feel.

Hey! That's...

I've seen her somewhere!

Saki Utagawa!

Kusakabe! Behind you!

Stop it! Stop it!

What's wrong?

What? Huh?!

What?!

Why's Saki Utagawa here?

She's my niece.

Huh? Your niece?!

I've always looked after her.

But, you don't...

Back off, puke afro!

I'll get dirty!

Saki!

Thanks for the money.

Don't go wasting it.

She's a nasty drunk lately.

Untouchable, like Dodgers-era Nomo.

Move it.

Saki, stop. You're done.

No photos please.

What is this?

Hands off! Get back.

I told you not to go drinking. You'll ruin your image.

Ms. Kazama's with me. She's furious.

Anybody call the cops?

Could you please tell them you three were fighting?

Huh?! That's bullshit!

We're the victims!

No problem. No problem.

Saki, let's go.

Give me a cut!

Hey! Rock 'n' Roll Brothers.

You suck, but your music doesn't.

I wanna hear more from you. Got it?

Bye bye.

Get in. Hurry up.

Drive! Go!

Shit!

I'm sorry, Ms. Kazama.

Saki, use your free time as you like.

But an idol's lifespan isn't very long.

Those boys... What was good about them?

Huh?

Well... They couldn't play to save their lives,

and their song was stupid,

but they're free.

Nothing's restraining them.

They really love being in a band.

I want to do a crazy show like that.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

My darlings! Spread your wings wider!

Keep knockin' on that door.

Knock knock.

We're The Langoliers. Thank you!

I love you all!

Let's drink.

Hey Hibi!

You like Machiko, don't you?

You knew?

I can see it in your eyes. It's easy at my level.

W-wow. Amazing...

Hibi?

Take it from a master.

You need to wait.

Wait?

Wait.

With a chick like Machiko, be strategic, or get burned.

You nearly went for it?

Yeah.

Silly.

What's the key to music and love?

Passion?

No! Self-production.

Self... Self?

Saki Utagawa.

Go for instant success, and you end up like her.

The masses use you up, and you're gone in flash.

Really...

Hibi?

They won't use us up. Right?

Yeah.

Good.

Don't go for Machiko until I allow it.

I'll form a strategy.

Thank you!

Let's drink.

Panties! Panties!

Wow...

My close friend Bob tells me,

"Kusakabe, within the next 2 years, you'll be a rock hall of famer!"

The hall of fame's impossible!

You need more than 25 years in the biz.

Kusakabe, you an idiot!

Our rock 'n' roll needs a female touch.

You're damn right!

Hey you, you chubby cutie!

Shocho! You're here!

Me?

No way!

Toilet...

I didn't want this...

Bob?

They'll hear us!

Bob?

You said this'd be an after party.

I didn't want this...

Don't! Please stop!

I can't, I can't spread my wings yet!

Wings?

Don't, I said. Please stop.

Don't spread them!

Don't... Don't knock on my door!

I didn't want this! I didn't!

Shinjo, don't!

What are you doing here?!

I'm staying in the back...

Wait a minute, what is this?!

You said to wait! To wait!

I don't wait.

I always go for it. Right, Machiko?

But...

But...

You wait, Hibi. No threesome for you yet. Right, Machiko?

Machiko... Machiko...

I... I...

Machiko!

I... I...

I'm son-y!

Jesus.

Hey! What happened?

Hibinuma!

What did you do to Machiko?

We hit off after the show and talked.

I did kiss her.

She's got bigger boobs than I thought.

Asshole!

You knew Hibinuma likes her!

Hey hey, uncool. This is uncool, man.

Violence is for barbarians.

Screwing fans is normal for a band.

Don't you?

We don't.

You're a virgin?

Shinjo! What's all this?

Oh, they want to fight us.

For real? Us Langoliers?

Unbelievable. Unbelievable, boys.

If you want a fight, let's fight with music.

Come to our album release event,

and try selling your CD.

Whoever sells more, wins

You'll win if it's only your fans.

Hand yours out for free.

How generous!

However, if we win, Machiko's mine.

OK with you, Machiko?

Alright, it's a deal!

Are you OK with that?!

Fine. We'll take you on.

Good.

You lose, you're banned.

I never liked having a band like yours playing here.

OK with you, Machiko?

Huh? Us too?!

Let's drink.

- Let's drink. - Once again.

I lost my buzz.

I sing solo now,

but I was in a band in junior high.

That's where I started.

Without music, I would've suffocated and died.

Without my bandmates, I wouldn't be alive.

I hope my new song reaches someone,

like so many songs saved me.

We all feel down, but the dawn will come.

Here it is: "Sunrise."

All of 'em!

They're gone!

They're really gone!

You guys won!

They were free.

Don't say that!

Langoliers?

They left with chicks!

Typical.

Leave us some, dammit!

You rotten bastards!

Shocho, we can still play here!

We can still play here!

Hey, Hibinuma.

Hibinuma!

Today...

...the crowd went crazy for our music, right?

Yeah.

It's the first time since I started in high school.

All those people we don't know were having a good time.

Also... our CDs too.

They're labeled in pen and they suck,

but they're gone.

Miracles do happen!

Hey, are you crying?

I'm not!

But, I...

Kusakabe!

Look at you deadbeats blubbering like pussies. Pathetic.

Screw this handmade-junk. Put out an album. An album!

Back for more?

Titties!

Don't get all puffed up over this tiny place!

Shut your mouth!

You don't know how we feel!

The Rock 'n' Roll Brothers pay their dues!

Yeah! Yeah!

I want to ask a favor.

Write me a song.

Huh?

Your show convinced me.

Please. Write me a song.

Why?

I want to play guitar.

But I can't write music.

Are you serious, Saki?

These guys' songs are a wad of dick cheese.

Please.

There's no time.

But...

Sorry.

Gotta go. Take this.

Yeah? Oh, hello.

Open it!

It's paper!

Free tickets!

I wanna go!

Not a bad crowd.

Wow. Look at all these people!

She's glittering!

Titties is no slouch.

This is so exciting! Holy shit!

Yoda had to work. He gave me his ticket.

Lucky!

Wow!

So many people! I'm dizzy!

Titties can afford this? Dammit.

Out of our league.

Is this us? It is.

Hey! Isn't that...

Isn't that Izumi Kazama?

Wow, it is! Izumi Kazama!

Why?

Saki Utagawa's produced by Izumi Kazama.

For real?!

Every artist she handles hits it big!

No wonder Titties sounds good!

Kazama knows her stuff!

But Kusakabe, you dissed her.

Shit! We can't pass this up, Kusakabe!

Yeah!

Let's sit.

She's late!

I know that!

Saki!

You're on!

Saki, it's time!

See you later.

Is she late on purpose?

Wow. She gets crowds this big?

It's dark!

Is it her?

It's her! It's her! It's her! It's her!

OK, next please.

Wow! The Rock 'n' Roll Brothers! Thank you.

Who're you?

Inukai! From Dog Rape!

Um, this is from us...

Thank you.

So how was it?

It was... amazingly amazing!

Blew my mind!

I was so moved!

Sorry I said "whore."

After your show, I had to go all out.

We're no competition!

I listened to your CD. Could be worse.

Er, about us writing a song...

Sorry, other guests are waiting.

Too quick!

Let's go, Hibinuma.

Bye, Saki Utagawa. Rock on!

Thank you! Excuse us.

Sorry about that.

Where'd they go?

They left already.

Oh. Sorry I made you wait.

The after party...

Forget it.

Where to? The party?

- Here. - Here?

Careful!

You OK?!

I love doing shows.

Makes me feel alive.

Here goes!

Ah, great!

Hey, about you writing me a song...

I've been thinking...

Forget about it.

Huh?

Listen, Takuro...

You suck it up, and suck it up, and suck it up,

then vomit it all out!

That's how you write songs, right?

Asking a guy like you to write for me won't work.

You like that girl?

Huh?!

You know, you were so cool that time at the club.

So do more crazy stuff, and write lots of cool songs!

Write. Write.

No, it wasn't like that...

I'm empty inside, you know?

So I let other people tell me what to be,

and create my image, then I try to conform to it.

So I envy you for writing in your own voice.

No, I wrote that song because...

Shit!

Trust me.

Somebody might come. I need to get back to work!

Don't worry.

I'll write for you.

I will. A song.

Takuro, you're going to be way bigger than me,

and go way further than I did.

I'll recommend you to Kazama.

I'll say she'll regret not signing you in 10 years.

By then, I won't be at this level anymore.

Then I'll sing your song.

Sound OK?

Here.

A Baby Bird for you.

Why did you get into music?

You're better at playing guitar, and dancing...

You wanna know?

I wanna know.

In junior high,

I started a band with three close friends.

To kill time.

That's my beginning.

The end.

The end?

Tell me more.

We graduated high school, and grew apart.

I moved to Tokyo alone, and haven't seen them since.

A familiar story, huh? The end.

And your band?

We split up.

Because I met Kazama and went solo.

One day I want to play guitar,

and sing with my band on stage like I used to.

That's not Kazama's style though.

But if you stick with music, you can play guitar again,

and sing in your band.

I can't.

Why?

One of them died.

Hey, she's here! Izumi Kazama!

For real?!

For real?!

She really came to see you guys?!

That's so cool!

Yoda. Kusakabe.

Rock 'n' roll!

Thanks for taking time to come!

I'm a huge far of yours,

and I've got CDs of all your acts...

As you're pros...

As you're dreaming of going pro, I'll give you my honest opinion.

Yes, ma'am.

Saki is very taken with you,

but I can't see why at all.

She thinks your music has potential,

but I can't see it.

A run-of-the-mill song. Third-rate technique.

Mediocre lyrics.

And above all,

I can't understand what you're singing for.

For a crowd of 100 in here?

For a CD debut?

A Budokan show? A festival?

What for?

I don't know.

I'll be blunt with you.

Saki and I survive because we know why we do what we do.

And do me a favor. Stay away from Saki, OK?

She doesn't have time to waste with you.

I-I don't think your music

is as bad as she said...

Right?

It's not.

Bullshit.

Why should we listen to her?

Hey. Who the hell got her to come?

Which shithead?

Phone call.

For you!

- Yeah? - Hello?

Kazama came? How'd it go?

What did she say?

Why?

Sorry.

What did she say? How'd it go?

Usually it's hard to tell how she feels...

How could you?

Why'd you do this to us?

You can kill time somewhere else!

What?

What's up, Takuro?

You don't have time!

You're busy! Fuck you!

Hey you.

Why bring her here?

Who gave you the right?

You were happy to see her. So we could go pro.

Huh?

Only because you talked me into it.

Knock it off.

Anyway, you...

...wanted her to like you so you could go solo, right?

What's your deal?

Think you're John Lennon?

Knock it off!

"Imagine" this!

We got not money, no homes, no girlfriends!

We wanna quit being virgins too!

But our future's pitch black.

Damn, I wish I could go back to high school and tell myself.

"Don't hang with these guys."

Fuck you!

Don't say that! Don't say it!

Hibinuma!

Knock it off!

Move, punk!

You sons of bitches!

Fire! Fire!

Put it out! Bastards!

It's burning! It's hot! It's hot!

My club! It's burning! It's burning!

5 million yen's the estimate.

Here it is.

We use a 3-month payment schedule.

Please transfer the money within 3 months.

You assholes!

We're sorry! We're sorry!

We're sorry!

Paying off the damage

is gonna cost at least 5 million.

We're sorry!

What now?

Fuck "sorry"! Fuck "sorry"!

Fuck "sorry"! Fuck "sorry"!

Pay me, dammit!

Pay me, dammit!

My club!

My club!

Hey!

Sorry! Sorry!

If you can't be assed, quit!

- Calm down. - Fuck you!

Hibinuma, go over there.

Outside! Outside!

Back to work. Everybody back to work.

Hibinuma.

It's been 3 months. You should be used to it by now.

I'm sorry.

Understand how Veeraphol feels, OK?

It's my fault.

Look. You got a letter.

"Takuro Hibinuma"

"Sender: Akira Yoda"

Hey Hibinuma, how's it going?

I'm doing heavy labor on construction sites.

I finish early, which helps, but the muscle ache is killing me.

But if I put on muscle,

I might be able to play drums like John Bonham, so I'm sticking at it.

By the way, about Kusakabe.

He's training to be a lumberjack in Nagano.

He's really making a go of it, for a change.

Yoda...

Hey.

Hibinuma?

Who are you?

It's me! Me!

Hamahashi from Eitobi High!

Huh?!

Hamahashi?!

It is you, Hibinuma! I thought I recognized that stink!

Why the hell are you here?

W-Why are you?

Where's Kusakabe and Yoda? Didn't you go to Tokyo?

What about your band?

The b-band...

Shit, you ain't changed at all!

You piss me off!

Stop acting like a bitch, Hibinuma!

You piece of shit!

This is the real world.

What the fuck, Hamahashi?

Quit jabbering and move the car!

Sorry, sir.

Don't you know? Doing a U-turn takes time!

Sorry, sir.

Get it done

Goddamn shit for brains.

You were a musician, weren't you?

Teach me how to play guitar.

Well... I...

Come on! Teach me!

Just a bit.

Just a bit.

Come on, play for me.

Here.

You're good!

Let me hear some more.

Play for me.

Come on, play.

Hello, Uncle?

What's up with the club?

And those guys?

Still not back yet?

Oh.

I'm the one to blame.

If they come back, tell them I'm sorry.

Miss Utagawa, you're on.

I'll come by soon.

Thanks.

See you.

OK, just be your usual cheerful self.

Here we go.

Hi, Saki Utagawa here.

Let's start off with today's first song.

This bend is a favorite trio of mine.

They're young, and they rock.

Some things happened and now they're on hiatus,

but I'm waiting for their comeback.

I'm waiting for their new song.

So check this out.

Rock 'n' Roll Brothers. "Brains".

♪ Show me your goddamn brains ♪

Not "Lovely Summertime"?

Sakurai?

Sorry. I didn't check.

Sakurai!

I'm sorry!

You ass!

Check properly!

Me?!

- Stop it! - Stop "Brains"!

Stop "Brains"! "Brains"!

Just stop it!

Just do it!

I'll fade out.

Fade out now.

Stop "Brains"!

Boss!

Boss, quickly! Hurry!

Boss, quickly!

Hurry!

It should be worth the wait!

She's really going places. I'd love to get the inside scoop from her.

Nice.

We've just received some shocking news.

Singer Saki Utagawa is retiring.

According to her agency,

she was diagnosed with cancer last year but kept working.

It was her decision to continue her music career.

But the cancer spread, then she collapsed on air.

- She's in the hospital now. - She's got cancer?!

W-What's wrong?

Now her nationwide tour is...

What? What?

"Saki Utagawa Reveals Diagnosis"

W-w-what's wrong?

W-W-What is it?

What's up, Hibinuma?

I... I...

What's wrong, Takuro?

I... I...

Tokyo... Tokyo... I gotta go back to Tokyo!

Holy shit!

Asshole! I'll kill ya!

Takuro! What is it?!

I... I... gotta go back!

Why? Why?!

I'm not... I'm not sure why!

Somebody who's important to me...

My song! My song! My song!

Gotta give it to her!

Takuro!

Hibinuma!

Hibinuma! Get in! Get in!

Don't worry, just get in!

Hurry and get in!

Hamahashi?!

Rock, huh? Rock, huh? It's a rock thing?

You look like you did that time we mined your show!

Hamahashi! Dammit!

What the hell are you doing?

You stink, dammit!

A slave like you should obey his master!

You stink! I'll kill ya!

Hey! Stop, dammit!

Hamahashi!

Hamahashi!

I'll be your slave again when I get back!

I won't be long!

Wait, Hamahashi!

I'm sorry, Ms. Kazama. For ditching work.

Or should I say the rest of my career.

Why'd you keep quiet?

If you'd told me sooner, I could've...

If I had, you'd have produced someone else.

You've no time for someone with no future.

I thought I had a year left, but I'm still here.

Shame about my national tour though.

Hey,

did you know?

Kinda.

Why not tell me earlier? You're her uncle!

What'd be the point?

Don't you get it?

There are good hospitals overseas...

It's too late! What'd be the point?

- Why you... - Ms. Kazama!

Electrocution by guitar looks tricky.

See? It's 200 volts in the U.K. so it'd work there,

but not in Japan

What else then? Drugs? An overdose?

Don't be stupid.

That's rock and roll.

Sid Vicious and Janis Joplin overdosed.

If I'm gonna die, I wanna die rock and roll style.

I've been researching it,

but it's not easy to set up.

You promoted me so much, and arranged a nationwide tour.

I'm truly sorry.

Without you, I wouldn't have made it this far.

I'm empty inside,

but thanks to you, I've experienced so much.

These last few years were so fulfilling, I've got no regrets.

It's better to burn out than to fade away.

Death don't scare me one bit.

So, you guys kept going with your band.

But we...

You guys wouldn't stop fighting back at us...

We beat you up, but you revived like zombies.

I don't know shit about music,

but that's "rock," yeah?

Hibinuma!

I don't care if you quit music or not.

Just remember 3 things.

First, that fish in your right hand fucking stinks.

Plus, that piece of paper is for someone, yeah?

Remember how you stood up to us, and deliver it.

Lastly!

This car's outta gas.

Since I graduated high school, my life's been a bore.

But days like this keep me going.

All right!

Run your ass off till you get to Tokyo!

Hibinuma! Don't give up!

Go! Kick ass!

Shift your brain into high gear!

Hibinuma!

Go as far as you can!

Why'd you come back?

Where's my money?!

Is it true... about Saki?

How long has it been?

How long's she been sick?

You shoulda told me!

Get the hell off me!

Did you know? Right from the start?

I knew!

If you knew, why didn't you...

What could you do?

If I told you, what could you do?!

Puke afro!

Could you...

...make her live longer?!

Could you die instead of her?!

You couldn't!

You couldn't! You couldn't!

You couldn't! You couldn't!

How is Saki Utagawa?

Her best-of album comes out next month.

All songs will be remixed for an ultimate edition.

What's more, the name Saki Utagawa

will be passed on to a new artist.

That's all I can say.

Please tell me where her hospital room is.

Oh, it's you.

What for?

Please tell me where Saki is!

What for?

There's nothing you can do.

Move.

Heavy rain and strong winds are expected.

Too strong for umbrellas.

Lighting is also...

Going outside is not advised...

Hey you!

You asked me!

What do I sing for?

I don't know!

I thought about it a lot, but I don't know!

Even so,

rock can change the world!

Change the world? Do you know how silly that sounds?

Saki Utagawa!

Meeting her changed my world!

I still haven't given her what she asked from me!

Give it back.

This photo, it's old.

Don't touch it.

Do you...

...remember what you said to me after your show?

"Do more crazy stuff, and write lots of cool songs."

I wrote you a song.

Am I too late?

Leave me alone.

I wanted...

...to die a cool rock star death.

But I can't, and I'm exhausted.

I wanted to sing more.

I wanted to get married.

I wanted... to have kids.

I'm so full of regrets,

it's exhausting.

Please leave.

Your guitar...

It's not busted. Not yet.

Forget it.

Please leave.

Hey!

Did Titties eat the Baby Birds?

Did you give her your song, Hibinuma?

Oh.

So it's not over yet.

Yeah.

You gotta tell her!

With the power of rock!

Rain and wind is forecast to intensify from midnight.

It's also affecting flights.

Hey! The rooftop!

Run! Run! Hurry!

It's a downpour!

Get a move on!

Come on, man!

You're late, Rock 'n' Roll Brothers!

It's so cold, I'll piss myself!

Rain! Rain! Rain! It's raining!

It's really on?!

Yeah!

It's on! Right, Hibinuma?

But our guitars...

Hey! Puke afro!

You can't forget these!

Boss!

You really came! I knew you would!

I'm sick of you.

Shit! I'll get electrocuted!

I'm gonna die!

Don't worry!

Japanese electricity's not lethal.

You're wrong!

Don't worry.

- Really? - Really.

Hurry up, Hibinuma!

I'm too young to die!

Me too!

Everybody! Are you ready? Are you OK to go?

Just one song! You better nail it!

Yoda...

Kusakabe...

Thank you.

Huh? Can't hear you!

Thanks! Thanks Dog Rape!

Thanks Boss!

And you're...

It's OK! I'm not important!

Oh man, the rain! The rain! The rain!

Puke afro! Get on with it!

Your gear'll die!

Thank you, Saki Utagawa.

Saki Utagawa, thank you! Thank you for everything!

This is all I'm good at! Just music!

This song! This song's for you!
