Takumi (Keisuke Koide), Kyohei (Ryo Katsuji), Hideto (Gou Ayano), Kazuo (Ryohei Suzuki), & Yuki (Tsuyoshi Muro) are five friends who form a rock band to perform at an upcoming school festival. When the friends learn that the festival is cancelled, they threaten to blow up the high school unless the school's administration reinstates the festival. The vice principal agrees to their demand, but the friends find themselves unable to stop the timing device on their homemade bomb. The classroom in which they are barricaded then blows up and so does their hopes for a bright future.

Three years later, Takumi & Kyohei walk down a street and witness a blond haired woman hit by an oncoming car. When they run down to the scene of the accident, they see the blond haired woman remove a pistol from the driver of the car and then drive off with his car! To Takumi and Kyohei's further amazement, they realize that the driver of the car is none other than high school pal Kazuo who now works for the yakuza.

Later that day, mob boss Kito (Kotaro Yoshida) walks into Takumi's workplace and looks for Kazuo. Before leaving, Kito threatens to kill Takumi, Kyohei, and their families if they don't return 300 million Yen and a prostitute (Manami Konishi), he believes they may know, by tomorrow. The longtime friends must now frantically search for the prostitute and the 300 million Yen ... (asiawiki-2010)


Surely_Someday

This movie has SHOUNEN written all over it. A group of childhood friends, an old crush from their childhood days, running, performing in a band, going thru dangerous moments... The pace is fast, things happen all the time, many fun cameos (most of them I didn't know beforehand, so I was pleasantly surprised, saying over again "what! that one too!" Oguri Shin sure does have a lot of friends...

The comedy is minimal but the story was fun. It is more dramatic since the yakuza boss is no joke. But I feel like the actors had a lot of fun filming this movie, they have a lot of chemistry, and I love their friendship. The only one that overacted a little bit was the one playing Kyohei. The other 3 guys are my favorite actors anyway, they are always good. I mean, even I who knows that Ayano Go is NO IKEMEN thought he was pretty awesome here. His "killer glance" was believable, haha. It could be his hair? He looked good here. Suzuki Ryohei looked lovely silly and Koide looked cuter than ever. And Muro playing a student **giggles** All of them, actually. It was hilarious.

The role of the main girl was meaningful, thank God. Usually, in shounen movies, like "CROWS ZERO", seems like they add a female role just to have some pretty girl among so much testosterone. Thankfully, Misa-chan was important to the story. Without her, there wouldn't be any story, more or less.

Mini-reunions: Stresseman, as the father of Masami-chan XD, and Makino with 2 of the F4 (I bet MatsuJun would have loved to be in this movie, if there were any chance), Kai and Maho (from "Orange Days").

If I find a better quality, I sure will watch this again.

**My rating: 8.5/10**
