Linda Linda Linda Japanese movie and punk anthem
Linda Linda Linda is a great Japanese movie. The 2005 production is about 4 Japanese high school girls in rural Japan who form a band so they can perform at the upcoming school festival. The film was directed by Nobuhiro Yamashita and stars Aki Maeda, Yu Kashii, and Shiori Sekine as the band members, and Bae Doona as a South Korean foreign exchange student.

Musically, the film is an homage to the power of music and the legendary bands of yesteryear. The film takes its title from the song that the girls learn to play, “Linda Linda Linda リンダ リンダ リンダ” by legendary Japanese punk band, the Blue Hearts ザ・ブルーハーツ . The girls’ band is called Paran Maum (Korean for “The Blue Hearts”).
