ON-GAKU: OUR SOUND

When you’re stuck in a rut, sometimes all it takes is a three-stringed bass and a couple of friends to find your rhythm. This is the unexpected journey awaiting Kenji, a high school delinquent whose life takes an unplanned detour into the world of music. With no prior experience but plenty of raw, unchanneled energy, he recruits his equally uninspired buddies to form a band, setting the stage for a slacker rock revolution unlike anything their sleepy town has ever seen. Boasting a unique, hand-drawn animation style that shifts and evolves with the music itself, this award-winning indie gem is a hilarious and heartwarming ode to finding your passion in the most unlikely of places. It's a coming-of-age story that proves you don't need to be a prodigy to make some noise – just a little bit of nerve and a whole lot of heart.
