Shochiku has released a new, slightly longer second teaser trailer for Yukihiko Tsutsumi’s BECK, a live-action adaptation of Harold Sakuishi’s long-running band manga.

The film stars Takeru Satoh as Koyuki, an ordinary high school student who’s encouraged to pick up guitar after a chance encounter with a talented guitarist named Ryusuke Minami (Hiro Mizushima). The two eventually form a band with bassist Taira (Osamu Mukai), lead vocalist Chiba (Kenta Kiritani), and drummer Saku (Aoi Nakamura). They name the band BECK after Minami’s dog and Koyuki discovers he has a natural gift for playing guitar. As his talent blooms, the band experiences more and more success, eventually getting invited to play at a rock festival.

BECK will be released in Japan on September 4, 2010.
