With just three days remaining until the closure of the 2004 Shiba High Holly Festival, a group of determined schoolgirls faces unexpected challenges as their band prepares for the final performance of their senior year. Their guitarist is sidelined due to a hand injury, and soon after, the singer resigns following a heated debate over the guitarist’s replacement. Undeterred, the remaining members—keyboardist Kei, drummer Kyoko, and bassist Nozomi—decide to proceed with the rock concert at the festival, opting to cover songs by Blue Hearts, including the iconic “Linda Linda.” To fill the void left by the singer, they enlist the help of a passing girl, Son, a Korean exchange student who struggles with Japanese.
