Here’s the first teaser for Yukihiko Tsutsumi’s “Beck”, a live-action adaptation of Harold Sakuishi’s long-running band manga.
Plot: Through a chance encounter with a talented guitarist named Ryusuke Minami (Hiro Mizushima), an ordinary high school student named Koyuki (Takeru Satoh) is encouraged to pick up the instrument himself. The two eventually form a band with bassist Taira (Osamu Mukai), lead vocalist Chiba (Kenta Kiritani), and drummer Saku (Aoi Nakamura), naming it BECK after Minami’s dog.
Koyuki discovers he has a natural gift for playing guitar, and as his talent blooms the band experiences more and more success and are eventually invited to play a major rock festival.
Beck will be released by Shochiku later this year.
