A 2005 Japanese film, ''Linda Linda Linda'' is the story of a group of high school girls who form a rock band to play at their school's cultural festival. When both their lead singer and their guitarist quit after a disagreement, the three remaining members recruit a Korean exchange student to take over as vocalist. Problem is, the exchange student, Son, isn't fluent in Japanese. As the girls work to learn their material in time for the concert, they become close friends and develop new confidence in their talents.
 
Line 19:
* [[Reality Subtext]]: Done very subtly; Koyama-sensei, the teacher who keeps on eye on the girls throughout the film, is played by Komoto Masahiko, younger brother of Komoto Hiroto (vocalist of The Blue Hearts).
* [[School Festival]]: The entire movie takes place over the course of one of these festivals. Kyoko and Son have to balance their band practices with their other duties at the festival (Kyoko helps her class sell crepes, and Son runs a "Japan/Korea Cultural Exchange" center.)
* [[Shout -Out]]: The [[School Festival]] episode "Live Alive" of ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/jahn0603/MIsc/LindaLindaLinda.jpg it's almost a shot-by-shot recreation of the final scene of this movie]. Also, Haruhi's guitar is the same as Kei's.
* [[Slice of Life]]: Obviously. Except for the rock scenes, this is a very laid-back film.
* [[Team Mom]]: Nozomi, especially noticeable when the girls go shopping for food at a supermarket.
