The Blue Hearts were a popular Clash-esque ensemble from the mid-80's till their breakup in the 90's and whenever the girls are asked what they are playing, they respond "The Blue Hearts" and everyone just nods their head and says "cool" and so they are. By the time these high school rockers finally hit the stage, grab the mic and shout "let's sing an endless song for this asshole of a world†they aren't just characters in a movie. They're singing for anyone who's ever been trapped in an anonymous job, a dead end hometown, anyone who's ever wanted to be a somebody instead of a nobody, anyone who's ever escaped into a better world when they slipped on their headphones, closed their door and turned up the music. They're singing for any of us and they're singing for all of us. They can put us in uniforms, they can make us go to school, they can break our hearts and they can crush our spirits, but no one can stop us from forming a band.
With all-girl Japanese rock groups like The 5.6.7.8's, Shonen Knife and Melt Banana being regulars on club stages around the world, Linda Linda Linda arrives at exactly the right time for an attempt to conquer foreign audiences. True, to get full enjoyment out of the film it helps to know who The Blue Hearts are, but even for those entirely unfamiliar with the history of Japanese rock music, this film's infectious, three-chord charm will prove hard to resist. And that former Smashing Pumpkin James Iha provides the score won't hurt its international appeal either.
"the best youth-culture film out of Japan since All About Lily Chou Chou" -Filmbrain
"that song, simple and simply irresistible, which neither meditation nor surgery has been able to remove from my head since I saw the movie last year at the Toronto Film Festival. Everybody: Linda, Linda! Linda Linda Lin-da-ah-ah!" -Richard Corliss, Time

LINDA LINDA
I wanna be beautiful like a water rat
He's got beauty you can't see in a picture
If I see you and have a talk
Please catch the meaning of love
Linda Linda
Just like a water rat, nicer than anyone else
Just like a water rat, warmer than anyone else
If I see you and have a talk
Please catch the meaning of love
Even though it may not be love, I'll never leave you
I'll get power, the only power nothing can beat

"These days theres no faith in radio or television, theres faith in live events. People are getting their music off the internet, you can't trust radio or television because its all about commerce, and theres tricks being played everywhere. So you can put your faith in a live event. It's not necessarily escaping. Its kind of like going to the center where things are unified and that feels good. Its refreshing and relaxing like being being under a nice big tree" - PERRY FARRELL (*excerpt from the "COACHELLA MOVIE")
