About ON-GAKU: OUR SOUND

ON-GAKU: OUR SOUND (音楽) blends comedy, music and slice of life by ROCK'N ROLL MOUNTAIN (2020). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: When you’re a bored teenager looking for thrills, sometimes the only thing you can turn to is rock ‘n roll. Having no skill, money, or even a full set of drums, a feared trio of high school delinquents nevertheless decide they are destined for musical glory in a quest to impress their only friend Aya, avoid a rival gang.

Another thread: Animated almost entirely by director Kenji Iwaisawa, and featuring a lead performance by Japanese alt-rock legend Shintaro Sakamoto. With pitch-perfect deadpan humor, the film presents a highly original take on the beloved slacker comedy: a lo-fi buddy film with a blaring musical finale that will leave you wanting an immediate encore.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Naoto Takenaka as Oba and Shintarou Sakamoto as Kenji. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
