I never dreamed before

I'm gonna knock the door

into the world of perfect free

(You ain't no lonely!)

You're gonna say I'm lying

I'm gonna get the chance

I thought a chance is far from me

(You ain't no lonely!)

I was made to hit in America

(I was made to hit in America)

I was made to hit in America

You are the sun, you are the star

(To me, forever)

You are the sun, you are the star

(To me, forever)

I was made to hit in America

I was made to hit in America

(I was made to hit in America)

I was made to hit in America

(I was made to hit in America)

I was made to hit in America

Huh?

Did you get the shell?

You?

Just answer my question.

It'll be all good.

All the white dudes will be sad if Eddy Lee's dead, right?

For me, I don't give a fuck!

Who told you to do this?

Hey! Hey!

I'm asking you!

Where the fuck is this thing you stole?

Say what?

Whoa Eddy! Are you all right?

Yeah. He took off right when the security guys came in.

I see. You are still lucky.

I knew it! He found out everything.

Can't be. How could he find out?

Ray, the movie's done.

Our tour movie, that Jim directed.

Yeah?

Yeah, they've been previewing it a couple of times last week...

What?

Yeah, I told Jim to cut out the scene of me playing, "Lucille."

You know, he's an artist.

Well...

Yeah, it was the uh... It was the scene of Koyuki.

You know, singing really, really good.

"Live 16 'Indies'"

I'll come again!

What's with that kid?

He comes in everyday, smiling. Gives me the creeps.

I hear if you keep staring at a Telecaster, it helps you endure even hard labor.

Oh...

But...

He'd better make up his mind or it'll be sold.

Hey! Hey!

Where're the spring rolls?!

Oh sorry!

Hey Tanaka! The dumplings are overdone.

I just got a complaint.

-I'm sorry! -Hey, spring rolls!

Right!

Hey Tanaka!

You didn't ladle the soup carefully! The same customer is complaining!

I'm sorry.

Strange...I'm doing it properly.

My goodness!

-How many times must I complain before you get things right?! -I'm so sorry.

-How can I pay for this? -Huh? It's Saito-san...

I thought they'd give me a free meal.

-What a stingy shop. -You're the stingy one!

I'm counting on you for Tuesday.

I have lots of deliveries.

I guess I'll go to the bathhouse.

Ouch!

Maybe I'll go meet that girl who works at the doughnut shop next door.

Hey! Quit loafing and get back to work!

Oh, sorry!

He's so cool!

Well, too bad! Yoshito belongs to me!

No way! Yoshito's mine!

-Hey! -Excuse me!

"Yoshito Morozumi"

"Yoshito Morozumi" Is this guy popular?

Is this guy popular?

Are you serious? You don't watch TV on Mondays at 8?

It's a sad drama about a short-distance runner.

I sooo love it!

Yoshito plays a young guy in a wheelchair. And he's awesome.

Oh...

Good, we had a good crowd tonight.

I'm totally beat!

-You'll get paid nicely tonight. -Really?

Hey Tanaka-kun!

There's a female customer named Minami asking for you.

Huh? Maho?

She's quite cute.

Your girlfriend?

No...nothing like that.

Hi!

Hey, doesn't that boy look familiar?

Huh?

-He's the one in the drama. -A-And that water commercial!

-Ryusuke told me you worked here. -Oh...

You sure are working hard.

Nah...Not really.

Oh yeah, let me introduce you... This is one of my classmates, Yoshito.

We met once in Mi-chan's shop. You're on TV, right? That's awesome.

Hey Maho...this guy looks so dirty.

You sure the food here is okay?

-Koyuki, are you free on Monday? -Why?

It's Christine's birthday party.

I wondered if you could come.

Christine?

What?

I thought we were gonna have this party only with friends from school.

Why not? It's always more fun with more people.

What do you mean? We already have enough people.

Why are you so unhappy about it?

-Wow! They're bilingual! -And she's so pretty.

They were eating the 5000-yen course.

Hope they have money.

And I can't even speak English.

Hey kid!

Quit daydreaming!

I'm sorry!

No, thank you so much! Good-bye!

Every label turned us down?

Our self-produced CD is a total disaster.

We worked so hard on it.

Ran's influence was worse than I expected.

No one would come right out and say it, but I could feel Ran's influence.

Can we break through it? With our power?

Ran...

Lift up your heavy ass, now

If you take off that stiff head

You'll feel totally loose

This crazy, crazy world

-Well...the sound is still amateur... -You just have to Stage Dive or Die

-but I do feel some good vibes from it -Mind blower, a shower of sweat

even with a name like Beck.

However...

these guys will never make a major debut.

It's unfortunate,

but anyone who crosses me will be destroyed!

Ran-san...

Eiji, in this world, only the strongest survive.

In this world, power is everything.

And Ran-san has it.

And someone powerless like me, just has to be smart and get around it.

That's the reality.

But Ryusuke, I'll become successful no matter what I have to do.

Ah...On the sixteenth?

I can't. I got a red flag.

Come on, Maho. My father's friend opened an Italian restaurant.

You know, in nighttime, the view from there is so great.

All right, I'll think about it.

Oh, I gotta go to bathroom.

What kind of band is Beck?

They put their live [performance] Before anything else.

Well, I just met the singer.

And?

He was just a tiny tot.

Yes, hello?

Oh, I dialed the wrong number.

Oh, it's Koyuki-kun?

Uh...Yes.

Maho is taking a shower and can't come to the phone.

Anything you want me to tell her?

Oh?

About Monday's party.

Oh, the party...

Come to the party dressed like you were invited to a ball.

And don't forget the present for the guest.

And who...

Hey, what're you laughing about?

You're kind, Koyuki.

But you don't seem to like my friends.

It's Christine's birthday party.

I wondered if you could come.

Hey you! This place is reserved today.

Don't mess around here...please.

Err...no...My friend is enjoy party.

Ah! Yoshito-kun!

Sorry, but plans were changed. Now this party is only for school friends.

That's...

So others can't come in. Sorry.

Oh...

Please give this to Christine then.

Sure.

See ya!

Why?!

'Cause he really took it serious.

He looked so stupid.

Koyuki...

Hey! He don't give a fuck!

The Telecaster is gone.

Takano-san said to wait in the back.

Hey!

Hey! Wait!

Takano-san wants...

Hey!

T-Thief!

Huh?

Takano...

Crush!

Katahira-san, how is that Telecaster? I made lots of adjustments.

Katahira...

Ohh...It's nice. I wanna buy it.

Huh? It's Tatsuya Katahira of Loud Crime City.

Can't do that. This kid's gonna buy it.

I'll pay you double.

-I didn't reserve it... -No, Taira asked me.

Oh...

I'm a drummer, but I've gotta be nice and give guitars a chance, too.

If that kid doesn't buy it, let me know.

Is Loud really going to disband after their next live performance?

Yup. You gotta know when to call it quits.

Come watch us.

Kid, the deadline is the end of the month. Got it?

Yes!

Hmm...Katahira of Loud?

Yup...

It's true that Loud is Japan's top rock band.

Let's go see them at the Budokan.

Stupid! It was sold out ages ago.

Hah! So different from us.

Loud wasn't popular from the start.

Let's just concentrate on today's show.

Right! Live performances are important.

But our problem right now is...

This!

We ordered 300 copies and we have 210 left.

That's 42 copies each!

Friends, family, anyone you can think of! Sell them all!

B-But I don't know 40 people!

If we don't get rid of these, we'll end up with a huge debt!

-Oh... -Oh... -Oh...

Yo! We're Beck!

It's packed tonight, but there's not much noise.

They're all waiting for the next band.

We should pump them up.

One, two...

Uh!

Yeah!

You open up the door with negative aura

You say future is murky indeed...

I'm sick of hearing gripe.

Open up the door with negative aura

If you never change

It's probably the last time I'll use this in a live performance. I think there is no way my life fizzle out

Thank you for all this time... White Falcon.

You open up the door with negative aura

(I'm fed up fed up fed up)

When Loud disbands, Japanese rock will die. You say future is murky...

And that's not an understatement.

It's fact that Loud has carried the Japanese scene on its shoulders.

Really?

And there's been no band that can compare to Loud.

Our gas ran out.

Huh?

We can't run anymore.

You must know...

In the music scene, something's always evolving.

Somewhere right now, there's an unknown band making great music.

Is there such a band?

No one knows about them yet,

but they'll come onto the next music scene

and let us listen to the real McCoy.

See ya!

Katahira-san!

Don't chain down your affection

Awaken primal feeling

Don't benumb emotion

Sing out primal scream

Let loose every feeling from joy to grief

Don't chain down your affection

Awaken primal feeling

Don't benumb emotion

Sing out primal scream

Let loose every feeling from joy to grief

Don't chain down your affection

Awaken primal feeling

Don't benumb emotion

Sing out primal scream

Let loose every feeling from joy to grief

He's gotten pretty good...that kid. Let loose every feeling from joy to grief

Go against headwind or ride on the tailwind.

Game is in your hands.

How do you play?

Follow your brainstorm!

Could I get the CD?

Uh, yes. The band's called Beck.

Yes, a good band.

Especially guitar.

Yes!

The president of an Indies label in Chicago?

Yup! It seems he just walked in by chance.

Well, there are lots of foreigners around here.

Hmm...

Sun Factory Record...Frank Albin.

Never heard of it.

-Is it all right? -He seemed nice.

All right. Cheers!

Another minute

Feelin' so fine

You turn the freeze

into warm light

Had a premonition

I've been waitin' ever since

My world comin' down

It's got me spinnin' 'round

If you really wanna fly

you gotta let go

Simply the most

big sensation

(once you're here you won't go back)

She's really pretty

One-eyed vision

(lose the fear it don't come back)

Little sister showed me

Really took me for a ride

My world comin' down

(once you're here you won't go back)

(lose the fear it don't come back)

I bought bags for the dog's poo.

"Live 17 'Three Days'" Why do I hafta walk Beck?! Ryusuke!
